"Fuck you, people like me built the world as it is now so people like you can spend all day playing video games".

Well, if they spend all day playing video games who exactly is or is not the nerdy one here.....?

I know a lot of people who play video games, but need me to help them build a computer or reinstall windows. Despite interacting with tech all the time they have zero desire to understand how it works. Also they didn't say that they don't play video games too. They are just also interested in tech.

By nerdy I really mean following up details and learning things for the sake of it. Video games are not nerdy any more, nerd culture has completely won over the last 15 years or so.
