“Alsoagain (since you REALLY want to ignore this one), there are professional gamers in these comments saying they’re not sports.”

“Whydo you feel like it needs to be labeled a sport to have credibility?”
Why do you insist on forcing your myopic and arbitrary view of a label on everyone?
Why?
Apparently so does the olympics.
Like I said in the other reply, the problem I have with people who argue against esports as “sports” is that even the sports community can’t agree on a consistent definition of what makes a sport a “sport” and/or a universal list *of* sports.
Its completely arbitrary. People just don’t…
Sure.
Unlike some I don’t feel the need to impose my myopic and arbitrary definition on others.
And yet gymnastics are at the olympics.
It is in fact as you said a “definitional”issue because the fact is that the the people who get hung up on what is and is not a sport can’t even agree to a definition or a universal list of sports outside *OF* esports.
People who scream esports aren’t sports just don’t feel like…
“Let’s slow down a bit on how we’re using the term “training” here.”
No, let’s not. Its applicable.
And yes, they’re sports.
Do you think target shooting is a sport?
You edited your post so forgive the second reply:
“When I’m playing poker or chess or some multiplayer game on consoles, I’m not thinking about how great an athlete I am.”
That’s because you’re a filthy casual :P
...but kidding aside, that’s a silly argument IMO. Playing a game of football or basketball with your friends…
Yes, esports are sports. So is golf for that matter, even though its boring.
“You prepare. You compete. You win or lose. You evaluate. You reevaluate. You re-prepare. You recompete. That’s what life’s about. Getting yourself better and better, and doing it against competition that’s demanding. I think that’s a real value which student athletes in the traditional sports are getting. I’m not…
Yes he is.
Just throwing this out there for anyone who’s interested for the purposes of weightloss: I lost 100 lbs. and very much enjoyed the use I got out of my smartscale, but I advise you to not put too much weight into the body fat % estimator. Those things are all over the freaking map depending on what you’ve eaten for the…

Going to finish Halo SPV3! I’m nearing the end of Assault on the Control Room and its been absolutely freaking incredible thus far.
Any Halo fan out there who hasn’t played it yet would do well to install halo on their pc and load it up. Full controller support for the purists like me who reject Halo with mouse and…
“Carving up movesets and tying specific character abilities to random drops only hurts players who are at the mercy of rng,”
No it doesnt. It hurts ZERO people. ZERO.
The only people who have to deal with that crap are the ones who agree to do it by playing the game modes where its allowed. Ranked and competitive versus…
Bull, INJ2 is a *GREAT* fighter and absolutely none of those things have ruined it in any way. I’ll admit I’m not the biggest fan of Raiden or Sub being in the game...but that aside the DLC has been fine. Microtransactions are there, but the game isn’t P2W and I’m still playing it without having spent a single extra…
Hypothetically: what if I am? I don’t even plan on owning a 4k display in the near future. Is there a benchmark somewhere for the 1060-1070 series at *just* 1080p?
There is only *ONE* way this might....*just might*....work.
There are a lot of Anime that I think could get a pretty solid Hollywood treatment, but here’s the problem:
We all know they’re gonna try to whitewash this and, not unlike like Ghost in the Shell,“Your Name” is a story *deeply* satured in Japanese culture and…
^Exactly this. I’ll admit there’s a bit of ludonarrative dissonance but it honestly works with her character arc in the game since by the end of it she and the player are 1:1. I remember in the final push of the game when she’s like “COME ON YOU BUGGERS!!! BRING IT!!!” and the smile it brought to my face.
