When someone says "games", what's the first thing that comes to mind?
For me it’s PC games, for my gf it’s tabletop games, so I was interested, what do you folks imagine as the first thing when someone says “games”?
limeaide, It depends who I’m talking to.
If I’m talking to an older person, I might think of arcade games or mobile games.
If I’m talking to a millenial or gen z, i probably think of a console.
Even though I mainly play on PC, it’s usually not what people around me are referring to
YaksDC, Card games, like cribbage, uno, etc
atlasraven31, Arcade games!
can, I just lost the game
krayj, Damnit, you just made me lose the game.
can, I had probably gone a year or two until someone mentioned it last month.
plumbercraic, 
We like both, so usually we say “cardboard” when referring to table top games
EssentialCoffee, Funny, we say pen & paper when referring to tabletop games. (TTRPGs)
ren, 
Board games.
MonsieurHedge, 
Indeterminate game played with six-sided dice and a tall wooden cup. More towards freeform gambling than anything concrete.
Anura, Videogames of any sort is my default assumption - usually for tabletop games I'll say tabletop games, or a more specific category (TTRPG, board game, etc.)
alex, games are tabletop games! video games are video games.

rustyricotta, It’s incredible that I can still hear exactly how these sound.
can, “it’s dot com”
Cyncit, My friends and family know that I often play PC games so if they ask me: what are you playing these days? I assume it’s PC games or at least phone games.

Joshua/WOPR: Greetings, Professor Falken.
Stephen Falken: Hello, Joshua.
Joshua/WOPR: A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?
scottmeme, War games is a legendary movie
yumpsuit, The many theme songs of the long slumbering Idle Thumbs podcast. I miss it so.
WorldieBoi, Same for me. PC games. I grew up playing games on PC. My first beast was a Pentium 200Mhz with 32MB of RAM.
Blaze, 
Mind games
