how come I can instinctively tell the difference between a casual and a hardcore gamer
but when asked to define them, I can't? like I can't put a number hours required to be considered hardcore?

Because you don't actually know what any of that means. You just think in meme terms.

so if you can't measure something empirically, then it means it doesn't exist?

Schlitz gamers. "When it's a gamer, you know it!"

Okay OP let's put your theory your the test.

One gamer is a rog ally player and another gamer is a iPhone player

Which one is causal and which one is hardcore?

>>715282360
both casual you retard
kill yourself NOW

>>715282360
wait that's my point right
I can instinctively tell who is the actual gamer and who is just a normie
but I can't measure it physically using hard data
does that mean I'm not allowed to call someone a normie?

>>715281618 (OP)
i don't know

>>715281618 (OP)
isn't it less about raw hours and more about the manner in which you dedicate those hours? a hardcore gamer wants to achieve and wants to experience the peak of gaming
a casual just wants to have fun without trying
it's attitude not style
i could be hardcore gaming in cookie run kingdom on my iphone while a casual is playing cyberpunk on their 5090.

no I fully understand this it's just when I'm asked to define what makes someone hardcore, and to provide the data and numbers, I can't
