Quarantine Gamer 

A type of gamer, as the name implies, that sprouted from the increase of leisure time due to the Corona virus, causing boredom. These typically don't know much about gaming culture and are casual gamers, meaning they are just as happy losing a ton of times as they are winning once. They play a fine selection of games, as fine as a kid's menu at restaurant, with Call of Duty, namely Warzone, Fortnite, or Among Us. They are also decked out with LED strips that line the edges of their room walls in the colors, red or purple. They often mistaken themselves as gamers and typically only have one genre of games they enjoy and draw a blank whenever a real gamer asks them about other genres. They don't follow any Professional Gamers or Esport teams and generally don't know any outside of FaZe Clan. They also don't dive deep into their games often knowing very little in terms of gaming terms or game knowledge. They also deck everything out in RGB lights; Keyboard, Mice, headphones, the whole nine yards. They also often over spend peripherals, not knowing what they are actually buying and the quality of their gear. They often believe that gaming is a personality, confusing it instead of a lifestyle. And most importantly: they are likely to have TikTok and often give themselves the "gamer" title.

Friend: Man, Jessica is cute and she's a gamer
Me: When did she start playing? What does she play?
Friend: She started playing CoD in June 2020.
Me: Nah, she's a TikToker, she's a quarantine gamer.
