"video games" sounds weird to me
it sounds like "moving pictures", the older phrase for movies/videos before those were terms
we should coin a new one word term for video games
I suggest gameos

Just change the word to movie games. Kojima knew exactly what the future was going to be like when he developed MGS4
What's wrong? They're games with video.
Are board games with VHSes video games too?
Just be glad we didn't get shit like artificial games or Binary games.
This save game symbol figurine confuses and angers the autistic OP

it's gay but the word "vidya" gets used here and it works most of the time without sounding too gay
ultra normies just say the word "games" and it works for them. for instance some jock who is ambivalent towards everything besides sports will say something like "so anon you play games in your free time? that's nice"
so there you have it. "vidya" when you're on this site, "games" if you're a total normie. "video games" is probably the prevailing term because there's an additional adjective to the word "game" so it helps with specificity
not even people who type vidya are socially unaware enough to say it out loud
I already said it was gay, no need to @ me
"movies" is still short for "moving pictures"
i guess "vidya" is a close equivalent but this is unfortunately true
I legit say "bidya gayms" irl all the time
most people I know including me say games instead of video games and it's not just normies
if anything, video games sounds like the safe formal speak for someone who doesn't really play vidya
>disliking King of the Hill
Thats badong
Come with a term that is gnobad
Movie is a much sillier term but got watered down with overuse, you forget it's the same word format as "talkie"
I propose gamie
thought about this before
the best way to describe it would be
interactive entertainment or digital experiences
but they dont flow off the tongue easy, not catchy
game implies there's a way to win/lose
and that's not the case in a bunch of "games"
lol
that sounds so moronic
imagine if food was called eaties
Japanese people call food "Eat thing"
makes sense. wtf is a fo that you od?
From Middle English fode, foode, from Old English fōda (“food”), from Proto-West Germanic *fōdō, from Proto-Germanic *fōdô (“food”), from Proto-Indo-European *peh2- (“to guard, graze, feed”).
Food is any substance consumed to provide nutritional support for the body. It is usually of plant or animal origin, and contains essential nutrients, such as fats, proteins, vitamins, or minerals. The substance is ingested by an organism and assimilated by the organism's cells to provide energy, maintain life, or stimulate growth.
Historically, people secured food through two methods: hunting and gathering and agriculture. Today, the majority of the food energy required by the ever increasing population of the world is supplied by the food industry.
Food safety and food security are monitored by agencies like the International Association for Food Protection, World Resources Institute, World Food Programme, Food and Agriculture Organization, and International Food Information Council. They address issues such as sustainability, biological diversity, climate change, nutritional economics, population growth, water supply, and access to food.
The right to food is a human right derived from the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), recognizing the "right to an adequate standard of living, including adequate food," as well as the "fundamental right to be free from hunger."
Most food has its origin in plants. Some food is obtained directly from plants; but even animals that are used as food sources are raised by feeding them food derived from plants. Cereal grain is a staple food that provides more food energy worldwide than any other type of crop. Corn (maize), wheat, and rice – in all of their varieties – account for 87% of all grain production worldwide. Most of the grain that is produced worldwide is fed to livestock.
>imagine if food was called eaties
a lot of languages do things like that but it translates weirdly because english is a caveman language with trash tier flexibility and suffixes
brb gonna game some gamies
let's call them gamies op
I said it first
marios
Movies are called movies because they are formally known as "moving pictures".
Video games is what they are, so the most logical parallelism would be to call them "vidies". But maybe they shouldn't be called "video games". After all, there are things that are games in video that are not video games. Like a live TV contest, or guessing the numbers in the lottery in front of a screen. What makes video games apart is how interactive the whole experience is.
So I say let's change the term "video games" to "interactive electronic games", and let them be known colloquially as "inties".
Vidcons.
Frick off twitter troon.
computer games
technically this is more accurate than video games
Sounds too 70s-80s retro. Like the Atari and Intellivision were computer games, while the Nintendo and Master System are video games.
yes, I know
but technically they all are computers in different form factors, so computer game is technically the most accurate description, even though people think of PCs when talking about computers
video implies a passive consumption experience, which games are anything but
ive never really liked the term 'video game', but it has a certain ring that is more fun to say
virtual games
Vames?
gets confused with vr too much
games can all be considered digital recreation or digital leisure
but it just doesn't click
viidies
In my country we just say "games"

>wot about “bollygobbles”?
