sounds pretty insane doesn't it kind of suggests that the gaming community can to some degree be exclusive and elitist such that people like lewis hestitate to categorize themselves as one bc someone might come along telling you you're not hardcore enough

Yeah, but only because Lewlew is an old school nerd, from back when being a nerd wasn't cool. He rolls over and let's non-nerds claim our title. Every console peasant with a copy of Fifa and Skyrim call themselves a gamer nower days, heck people that only play Sims and Animal Crossing consider themselves gamers in todays world. The reality is that a gamer is someone that plays games from different genres, explores new titles and developers, someone that actually immerses themselves in the gaming world, not just people with a hobby.

I agree with him about magic though, the only way to completely stop the problems with land is buying expensive land draw cards, I find games like Pokemon and magic recently are about buying expensive net decks instead of the fun of opening packs and deck building
@@joshuniacke2442 i mean; you could just use rocks, the land formula, or have one of the deck colours be green. its not that hard. power lands do help, sure. but they arent the be all end all.
They probably think of themselves as video makers, streamers In the same way that musicians don't see themselves as "live performers" despite them doing a year long tour playing a hundred shows. They think of themselves as artists, their primary "work" is the making of the music not performing
Some people feel like the term gamer is too toxic/has too many negative connotations, so don't like to label themselves as part of that. Ben Potter of Triple Jump and Vidiots has spoke at length about it before and I'm very much on the same page.
@@lockyhocky2 Everyone's definition is different though. To some it's anyone who plays any form of game, whether it's board games, mobile games or PC MMOs. To others it's people who immerse themselves in the culture to the point they actively follow new releases and news. There are some who see gamers as basement dwellers living with their parents playing CoD with cheeto dust on their fingers. Then there's people who only think people who play games on their platform are "true gamers". There are whole lot of gamers who say other people aren't gamers because they don't play games enough hours of the day to qualify, or they don't play the right type of games. So it's just a shitty term that people use to put themselves in their own exclusive club of supposed superiority. So yes there are connotations, and it all stems from prejudices that vary from person to person. I'm not a pushover, and I don't hide the fact I play games. I just don't use the label "gamer". I just say I play video games.
Sips doesnt even open his own youtube channel let alone the Triforce one and Lewis is off eating a vegan panini too busy watching youtube videos about why we should all eat dirt and wear paper clothes.
@@RND_ADV_X i share the same speculation as you. Yet, until we get a sign or confirmation, it'll be that; a speculation. Doesn't matter tho, just curious haha
- All three of them live off of gaming, it's their jobs, careers, they've made a good living off of it, they have a podcast mainly about it, they do basically nothing but play games (except for family stuff), thousands of hours, thousands of games, for decades on end, of all different genres with almost no exceptions, they are even into board games and any kind of games, they have created games, they make their own rules to games. And most importantly they love games. - "Are you a gamer?" - Lewis, Sips, Pyrion: No, not really.
as a deli worker i agree with sips the customer facing part is the best part of my day ive had some fantastic chats with all kinds of people many of which are the types you simply dont meet on the internet
Lewis is a PC Gamer. It seems ridiculous to me to say that because he doesn't play certain games or doesn't play on consoles that he's not a gamer. His whole life and business is about gaming, and as he said, he plays a lot every single day.
Lewis is asked to define what he means by "Gamer", he answers, and then they tell him he is wrong. And they still don't say if they are gamers or not, a thing they could have said yes or no to BASED ON THEIR OWN DEFINITION OF GAMER.
It's funny because the people he described that play FIFA normally hop on for a few hours at the end of a day, whereas he literally plays games for 8 hours a day and describes them as if they are the nerds.
@@a.garcha199 Aye, but he's going off the 1980s-90s denigrating stereotype of a "gamer". And why shouldn't he? That is what he was brought up on, before he was old enough to have his own rational appraisal skills and independent thought. And your post was a nonsequitur. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with either part of my post. 1) He was asked his definition, and "but he's what *I* think of as a gamer even more than the sort he describes!!!!" is 10,000,000% irrelevant, you weren't defining gamer for him. 2) He was told he was wrong, but that is, again 100% irrelevant, he was asked his definition, and by his definition, he isn't a gamer, neither are the two others. If they didn't want a "wrong" definition, they should have damn well given their own and said whether Lewis fit in it. YOU doing the exact same thing of "ignore he was asked if he was by HIS definition and just assert your own definition and complain how wrong he is" is NOT refuting my post, it is demonstrating how dumb people are when they ask someone what they think when what they do after finding it indicates what they really wanted to do was criticise.
@@g_manitie1138 Well they SHOULD have just accepted it and then said something like "however, how many people are that sort of gamer, and therefore how useful IS it as a definition?". Or as I said to the other dude, don't bother asking what his definition is, give theirs and say whether they are or not, or just answer under their own definition unsaid, you know ANSWER HIS DAMN QUESTION.
@@markhackett2302 wtf is wrong with you, you make some rambling post about nothing, my post was just an observation I wasn't aiming to refute what you said, nor was I particularly complaining about Lewis, I literally just said it's funny. You clearly have some issues if you got that emotional about that. Weird guy, get out more.
Richard Garfield hated the fact that you had to have Land to play cards so much that he made KeyForge haha - so, yeah, I think the Land issue is certainly something which should be dunked and modernised.
A gamer is anyone who plays games. Athlete, casual, board game fanatic. Anyone who plays games on a regular basis is a gamer. There is no "good" gamer. There is no "real" gamer. You play games, or you do not play games. Fortnite? Gamer. Golf? Gamer. Trivial pursuit? Boring gamer, but still a gamer. I'd accept "Hardcore" gamer as someone who plays specific types of games excessively, but outside of specific distinctions I don't think it really matters. People are so consumed by what a "real" gamer is and don't stop to think that there are more words in the English language.
I would like to live in an enormous mansion, but only if there's lots of other people. Have a section of the house that's my alone area and then the rest where people do are. Servants, family, maybe renters, etc.
im sorry lewlew but your MtG ruleset would make a landfall deck utterly broken just just learn to properly mana fix use rocks, use ramp if you're in the colours for it use multicoloured lands, shocks or the like if you have them use the formula for land balancing ect the land thing is not totally a game problem, its a problem with how your deck is built.
What Lewis is doing, and there is a pattern in this, is he belittle games that he don't like to the extent of insulting the people who like it. Instead of just acknowledging that he don't like it, he invests a lot of time into finding all the flaws of the game and saying that, because of these flaws, it's trash. But all games have flaws, and you could do this to all games. Why not just say "This game is not for me".

Since then I’ve been a diehard Yognaut. About 9 years now, crazy.

Sips is exactly right about the idea of all of these businesses abandoning face-to-face interactions. I think it’ll move us towards isolation and misery...the Covid lockdowns have been horrific for suicide rates and the like..people NEED each other...as shitty and gross as we all are.
Being someone who has also worked in retail, I think a big part of why some people work in the retail field too is because they want that face-to-face interaction, as that is what retail is all about. You can more easily tell what the customers needs are and can address them a lot easier.
Hey retail worker here , I've been treated like utter trash by customers , face to face , fuck that , I get it , people like social interaction, customers like it, but when your behind the till for hours on end any every other customer treats you like utter shit because they haven't had the chance to do to anyone else for a while , ugh , sorry to rant but it sucks frickin balls
Yea no, fuck that. If people want social interaction they should do what a normal person does and get some damn friends. Not bug the poor fucking retail workers that are only there to make a measly amount of money.
Triforce being a gaming podcast has come up a couple of times recently, but I've never seen it that way! I'm here for the funny stories, dad chat, interesting discussions and the friendship between the guys. Imo the game chat has always been by far the least interesting part of the podcast!
@@horrisnorris6478 I just love hearing their interactions it doesn’t matter what they’re talking about, I can, and have for the last 5 years just listen to them just talk about random shit for hours on end and I love it :) So comforting.
@@kdmedia1534 Yeah true, in a way it doesn't really matter what they're talking about as it's more about the dynamic between them! I'll happily listen to them waffle on about any old crap
When it comes to Warhammer, I don't really have any interest in playing the game, I just want to buy the models and paint them. Still expensive as hell, though.
are these guys the right people to be giving us gamer takes? All pyrion has done for the past 10 years is play Dota, Lewis is either playing something stupid, Civ, or ttt, and Sips, well I can handle a gamer take from Sips
Have you actually seen Sips playing a game? I cannot deny he is indeed the king of cancelling an in-game tutorial that tells you how not to die of hunger, then raging 10 minutes later that he died of hunger.
Quite the spicy take. Because sips streams various games gets an opinion lol? Lewis has more solo/co-op hours in a very wide array of platforms and built a successful media company around it. Pyrion has not only hosted, but been invited to play games by multiple companies worldwide. Calling them GAMERS might be a stretch, but they said as much themselves. We all like different things and have opinions. Just because they don't ninja no scope headshot on fort-pub zombie strike doesn't make it less valid.
Lewis, it sounds like you don't know how to play magic lol. You have to include ramp in your decks, if you don't you'll have a bad time. That being said, totally happens even in my cEDH decks. Though, I do agree with you about the developers though. The original way of playing the game isn't even the most popular format of Magic, commander is. I don't agree with magic being a bad game. I do think you are entirely on point for warhammer. Magic is pay to win if you play in tournaments. My playgroup has begun to proxy a lot of the cards in our decks as then we have access to everything without spending a lot of money. That really is the way we have to play the game.
See I would say that people that play fifa cod etc are not gamers to me you have to play games regularly but not just one or two games many different ones and consume that sort of media culture ie reviews, lets plays etc
sips - 'nah everything will go 100% back to the way it was before' 'well yeah but alot of businesses have pivoted' sips - 'i know its incredible... cant believe how much they have changed'... does that not suggest that maybe... just maybe... there will be a bunch of long lasting changes... its like standing in ww1 and going nah there will be no changes
For those saying "you shouldn't change the rules of magic, because bla bla bla..." If I payed 500 fucking dollars for these cards, I can do what I fucking want with them. Personally, I just say you start with 2 magic on the board already. It skips the boring phases of just putting down mana and saying "your turn", it guarantees you have some mana, and it can guarantee you have one mana of each if you have 2 colours in your deck.
The way Pflax is talking, he'd prefer robots in the service industry. That would lead to a lot of unemployment . And Sips is right about the social aspect being necessary for us humans.
I mean the conversion to robot service industry has already been happening and will happen whether we like it or not. As for the social aspect... just get some damn friends. Why are retail workers supposed to be the ones to fill the void in people's lonely lives?
...Is Sips an extrovert? I can't imagine *wanting* to make small talk. That's not "real" social interaction in a way that's helpful to me. You could train a robot to make routine small talk, and I don't think it would be much different. It wouldn't be an identical experience, but we already humanize AI. Does anyone have an Amazon Echo and *not* get mad at her sometimes? And let's be honest, I get more personality out of my Animal Crossing villagers than from most retail employees. We're not really sharing our lives during a 3-minute conversation with a stranger. I get that some people just feed off human interaction, no matter how shallow, but ugh, it's not for me. I don't mean shallow as an insult--that's the appropriate level for small talk. It just doesn't do it for me. I still agree that we need humans to work in stores, but that's because employees can be genuinely helpful, even in ways the customer doesn't expect. I wish we could get back to customer service more for the sake of actual service than for sales, which would be way less obnoxious for the customers. But I've been on both sides, helping people and being helped, and it's a genuinely good interaction for everyone when you're trying to match the customer with what they actually need or want. I don't want to take all the social interaction out of shopping, but an opportunity to avoid the parts that are useless for me would be nice.
lol how can you think someone who plays fifa to be a real gamer... people who play sports games are not real gamers at all imo. lewis literally I would consider you to be a hardcore gamer as its literally your entire life and career...

Hey retail worker here , I've been treated like utter trash by customers , face to face , fuck that , I get it , people like social interaction, customers like it, but when your behind the till for hours on end any every other customer treats you like utter shit because they haven't had the chance to do to anyone else for a while , ugh , sorry to rant but it sucks frickin balls
Yea no, fuck that. If people want social interaction they should do what a normal person does and get some damn friends. Not bug the poor fucking retail workers that are only there to make a measly amount of money.
As rubbish as GW are at writing rules, I don't believe that Pyrion and his friend were playing (presumably) Man'o'War correctly.
thank you :) ❤️❤️❤️
Triforce being a gaming podcast has come up a couple of times recently, but I've never seen it that way! I'm here for the funny stories, dad chat, interesting discussions and the friendship between the guys. Imo the game chat has always been by far the least interesting part of the podcast!
The earlier podcasts were more gaming focused at first.
@@kdmedia1534 yeah it's true, and it took me a while to get into it for that reason!
@@horrisnorris6478 I just love hearing their interactions it doesn’t matter what they’re talking about, I can, and have for the last 5 years just listen to them just talk about random shit for hours on end and I love it :) So comforting.
@@kdmedia1534 Yeah true, in a way it doesn't really matter what they're talking about as it's more about the dynamic between them! I'll happily listen to them waffle on about any old crap

Sips and PFlax please look up Kate Bradbury on how to do a garden properly thanks!
Here is your food 😂
When it comes to Warhammer, I don't really have any interest in playing the game, I just want to buy the models and paint them.
Still expensive as hell, though.
Good Stuff as always
lolz the biome we live in
I hate those kind of house rule wankers. Usually they carve rules for benefiting best for themself.
polytunnels man polytunnesl get on it Sips :D
Please never stop.
r.e. Warhammer's bad rulesets. Any love for onepagerules?
Good poddin ;)
are these guys the right people to be giving us gamer takes? All pyrion has done for the past 10 years is play Dota, Lewis is either playing something stupid, Civ, or ttt, and Sips, well I can handle a gamer take from Sips
Have you actually seen Sips playing a game? I cannot deny he is indeed the king of cancelling an in-game tutorial that tells you how not to die of hunger, then raging 10 minutes later that he died of hunger.
Quite the spicy take. Because sips streams various games gets an opinion lol?
Lewis has more solo/co-op hours in a very wide array of platforms and built a successful media company around it.
Pyrion has not only hosted, but been invited to play games by multiple companies worldwide.
Calling them GAMERS might be a stretch, but they said as much themselves. We all like different things and have opinions. Just because they don't ninja no scope headshot on fort-pub zombie strike doesn't make it less valid.
Evile Gaming thats the exact reason why
Canadian bias
I don't think he appreciates you on his meat like that
BBC's are a real pain in the ass
cheeky
Lewis, it sounds like you don't know how to play magic lol. You have to include ramp in your decks, if you don't you'll have a bad time. That being said, totally happens even in my cEDH decks.
Though, I do agree with you about the developers though. The original way of playing the game isn't even the most popular format of Magic, commander is.
I don't agree with magic being a bad game. I do think you are entirely on point for warhammer.
Magic is pay to win if you play in tournaments. My playgroup has begun to proxy a lot of the cards in our decks as then we have access to everything without spending a lot of money. That really is the way we have to play the game.
First to say first after the 6 other people
Nice
See I would say that people that play fifa cod etc are not gamers to me you have to play games regularly but not just one or two games many different ones and consume that sort of media culture ie reviews, lets plays etc
Why are there no likes is this a thing??
sips - 'nah everything will go 100% back to the way it was before' 'well yeah but alot of businesses have pivoted' sips - 'i know its incredible... cant believe how much they have changed'... does that not suggest that maybe... just maybe... there will be a bunch of long lasting changes... its like standing in ww1 and going nah there will be no changes
also quite clearly standard restaurant experiences aren't going away. they will continue to exist. there will be more options.
Lol
For those saying "you shouldn't change the rules of magic, because bla bla bla..."
If I payed 500 fucking dollars for these cards, I can do what I fucking want with them.
Personally, I just say you start with 2 magic on the board already. It skips the boring phases of just putting down mana and saying "your turn", it guarantees you have some mana, and it can guarantee you have one mana of each if you have 2 colours in your deck.
The way Pflax is talking, he'd prefer robots in the service industry. That would lead to a lot of unemployment . And Sips is right about the social aspect being necessary for us humans.
I mean the conversion to robot service industry has already been happening and will happen whether we like it or not. As for the social aspect... just get some damn friends. Why are retail workers supposed to be the ones to fill the void in people's lonely lives?
...Is Sips an extrovert? I can't imagine *wanting* to make small talk. That's not "real" social interaction in a way that's helpful to me. You could train a robot to make routine small talk, and I don't think it would be much different. It wouldn't be an identical experience, but we already humanize AI. Does anyone have an Amazon Echo and *not* get mad at her sometimes? And let's be honest, I get more personality out of my Animal Crossing villagers than from most retail employees. We're not really sharing our lives during a 3-minute conversation with a stranger.
I get that some people just feed off human interaction, no matter how shallow, but ugh, it's not for me. I don't mean shallow as an insult--that's the appropriate level for small talk. It just doesn't do it for me.
I still agree that we need humans to work in stores, but that's because employees can be genuinely helpful, even in ways the customer doesn't expect. I wish we could get back to customer service more for the sake of actual service than for sales, which would be way less obnoxious for the customers. But I've been on both sides, helping people and being helped, and it's a genuinely good interaction for everyone when you're trying to match the customer with what they actually need or want. I don't want to take all the social interaction out of shopping, but an opportunity to avoid the parts that are useless for me would be nice.
imagine shitting on wasteland 3..well if you play dota everyday...
WOW lewis just shitting on all devs everywhere. Say goodbye to all the free stuff guys.
You overestimate how much free stuff they probably receive 😆
@@joshconfer209 I'd wager they do get a lot of free shit, but most of them are from indie devs and companies
lol how can you think someone who plays fifa to be a real gamer... people who play sports games are not real gamers at all imo. lewis literally I would consider you to be a hardcore gamer as its literally your entire life and career...
First
The real issue wwas playing Magic at all. Dogshit game. Yugioh is far better
Wow I’m first
