Heya!

Been promoting my Steam group on SG via giveaways for quite some time now and I think it's high time for me to create a proper SG page for the group :)

P/S: If this thread looks familiar... well, you're not crazy and it's not deja vu! I actually had to remake the thread - sorry! :P


Why should you join? ... because of the giveaways of course!

Granted that I'm earning nowhere near a six-figure income so I can only give whatever I can, there's still a couple of great GAs from time to time, especially when the group reached a milestone that I think is worth celebrating :)

Since you're bumping thread yourself.

I'm not sure what kind of gamer I am.

I thought i enjoy more casual stuff lately, and enjoyed one game in particular - Helldivers. Bugged everyone at work to play with me (put it on our ps4 in chill room) only to find out its not that easy. Then on internet i read it is actually hardcore game.

I did enjoy one truly hardcore game - Dwarf Fortress. But it requires a lot of knowledge to enjoy imo, so when you take a longer break you have to relearn and learn updated stuff so yeah.... maybe later.

Seems like you do tend to enjoy playing a lot more hardcore games than most :P

I guess a better and perhaps easier way of determining which group you fall into is to know the kind of gaming behaviour/habits you're more inclined to and your level of dedication to the types of games you play. Maybe this will help: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamer#Dedication_spectrum? It's in the OP :)

I'm kinda curious...if i play 24/7 single player story rich games, what do i count as?

Honestly, I think the classification is mainly determined based on your playing behavior rather than just the genres you enjoy per se. So if you do play games 24/7, like literally, then I'd say you're as hardcore as it gets :P

Hello how can I become a member of your whitelist? :)

I don't really do WL recruitment - maybe in the future, but not now, sorry!

My advice though? Be active in SG's Discussions by sharing/contributing. Some people might whitelist you :)

Okay, anyway.. which kind of gamer.. well I love competitions, sometimes I play to reach great levels, and sometimes i spend lot of time on singleplayer games, and I also love high difficulties; infact, in SP games I usually choose the highest difficuly.. so i would define myself as a Hardcore gamer :P

You're definitely what I'd call a hardcore gamer :)

Due to this post being mostly focused on the Steam group and recruiting for said group, your post may be better served in the Steam Group Recruitment sub-forum. That said, the Twitter and YouTube stuff is suited for the User Projects sub-forum, so I am leaving it up to your choice.

Yeah, the page was initially grouped under Group Recruitment but in order for me to put in the links, I'll have to shift it over to User Projects. I think I'll keep this here for now.

Quick question - is it possible to create two threads - one in User Project (this one) and another solely for group recruitment under the Group Recruitment section?

I'm 100% midcore because of work at the moment. Would be hardcore otherwise!

I feel ya. Time is always a constrain as you get older... at least until retirement I guess :P Can you imagine a whole demographic of hardcore gaming grandpas and grandmas with top-notch gaming rigs 20-30 years from now? That would be the day!

That is true lmao. Though I guess some who profited off this GME situation can retire much earlier than intended. And hardcore gaming grandpas and grandmas would be me and my partner when we're old lmao. That would certainly be the day I agree!
