i'm drawing a fuckin line in the sand. if you say "videogame" and want to be ideologically consistent, you need to start saying "tabletopgame" too
had enough of these reindeergames huh

in reply to @hthrflwrs's post:
the ludological reason behind saying "videogame" instead of "video game" is that computer-aided games are a fundamentally different medium from other forms of game (e.g. sports or board games), and thus the word should be its own thing instead of a modifier of the word "game." i would argue however that the exact same thing can be said of tabletop games, whose core mechanics are fundamentally different from those of board games (or "boardgames," i suppose)
Agree and the people saying dnd when they mean tabletopgame is the same as calling every video game 'A Mario'
Yes but if you say "video game" then to be ideologically consistent you must say "goat game"
ah, i would if goatgame were a modifier of video game! but instead it's a modifier of monogame (the framework of goatgame), which is already a one-word name. i've decided this two seconds ago because i'm slippery like an eel
