Me: I wonder if gamers understand that 'gamer' has become a weird ironic insult

Me: oh

@angrboda so computer components sometimes come with tiny little stickers like "powered by intel" that you can stick on your computer if you want, but the last graphics card i bought came with a 24x36" legit movie-poster size poster for "superior performance" featuring a generic robot ninja man

not even i, a person with elder scrolls maps hanging up in their room, would be willing to hang that on my wall

@kotep @angrboda Can confirm. I built my PC 6 years ago and I think I still have, like, two NVIDIA posters more that pop up whenever I clean. Each card had to have come with three of the things.
