krayj,

Damnit, you just made me lose the game.

I had probably gone a year or two until someone mentioned it last month.

For me I'd probably assume it was video games of some sort if someone said they were 'really into games'. That's speaking as someone who knows a lot of hardcore boardgame players.

That said context is everything...

I feel like people who play video games call it “gaming”, like “really into gaming”. Saying just “games” sounds unnatural for video games but maybe okay for board 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?

For me personally “gaming” is a combination of tabletop and vidya roleplaying and strategy games. Generally I like very cerebral and slow-paced stuff.

What’s weird is if somebody tells me they are into games, I immediately assume they are into genres of games I don’t enjoy like FPS, action games, MOBAs, etc.

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
