I don't talk about geeky things either but the way I present myself even in work people easily tell I am a geek. Aka glasses, friendly attitude, interest in technology topics, bad jokes, intelligence and just the way I act.I don't think I really present myself as a 'gamer/nerd' in public, but that's because I like to dress in business attire and generally don't talk about things that disinterest those around me.
No, not really. It's pretty acceptable form of entertainment these days, and if I were to tell someone at work that I'm more likely to play a game than watch a movie or TV show, there's not much second thought. But gaming isn't something that I'd openly volunteer about myself in a sort of "what are your hobbies" type question, where I'd probably talk about food, beer, playing an instrument, etc., but less so videogames.
"It's the latest Sony Gameboy"No. But I also don't wear it on my sleeve. I don't "identify" as a gamer.
But more than anything, I hate when non-gamers ask me what my Vita is.
"What kind of phone is that?"
"What kind of phone do you have?"
"Did you get a new phone?"
Then having to find the shortest assembly of words to simply explain what a Vita is to somebody who doesn't really care and will struggle to understand it.
Gamer and Nerd have not been a thing since the early 90's it's almost exclusively if you're a grown man buying Nintendo products now.
Why wouldn't you? I actually got my job because I mentioned I worked on the networks for a LAN party.I even put videogaming on my CV when applying for college and job LOL
No. But I also don't wear it on my sleeve. I don't "identify" as a gamer.

I'm increasingly becoming more and more cautious about identifying myself as a gamer. Gaming culture is becoming increasingly dark and crazy.
No. But I also don't wear it on my sleeve. I don't "identify" as a gamer.
"It's like an iPhone that plays Monster Monpiece."
And then proceed to give an intensive demo of the game.
