>>19767032You are right. She is not a gamer.
"Gamers" brag about how good they are at whatever bullshit FPS AAA is trending at the moment but once you throw an early 90s NES classic at them they immediately start complaining about how """GARBAGE""" it is because they literally can't get past the first level and give up after 10 minutes.
On the other hand, she is the type of person at which you can throw even the shittiest game from the crap bottom pile of gaming and she could enjoy it for hours and never complaining about how "difficult" or "bad" it is. If it's "difficult", she'll go on for hours, possibly more than a whole day trying to beat it. If it's "bad", then she tries to make something funny out of it and enjoys herself. If it's both, then it's even better.
Why? Because of her mindset. She probably thinks about the hours the developers spent coming up with the game concept, the story, characters, mechanics, then actually turning it into a game: voice acting, coding, graphics, textures, etcetera.
Also she actually pays attention to the game's "story". When she finally beats a game with an emotional story(I'll use FF9 as an example), she broke down into tears, reflecting on the pain those fictional characters endured, that being a testament to the game's wonderful storytelling.
I can't even find a term for her because the definition of "gamer" has been so messed up ever since its conception. She is truly one of a kind. She is not a gamer. She is THE Gamer.
