I'm making fun of "unbearable cuteness" (you didn't start this) but damn your dynamic avatar ruin the jokes.

edit:
I know the feeling, but I'm increasingly aware that's wrong and an effect of being raised in a culture that value sociopathic attitudes.

i think it's important to make a distinction between "cute" and "cutesy;" cutesy, as i used it, implies a sort of inauthenticity or disingenuousness. "cute," on the other hand, is something that we could all use more of.

my issue isn't that the video is cute, it's that it doesn't ring true; it feels manufacturedly cute, robbing it of any genuine emotion

fake cute gamer!

It's pretty simple really. If you play games, you're a gamer. It can be mobile games, or Madden, or indies, or freeware game jam entries, or the newest AAA titles. If you play games, you're participating in that hobby, you're a gamer.

Now there are different ways of engaging in that hobby, the same way some people enjoy b-movie shlock or indie dramas or only watch blockblusters. But video games can and should appeal to a wide variety of tastes, preferences, age groups. Movies do, books do, tv does. Like every other form of entertainment, video games are enjoyed by a diverse range of people. Saying someone is a "non-gamer" because they only play a certain game and nothing else makes no sense.

If you play games, you're a gamer.
