    This is the gamer equivalent of when you hear music and see someone playing an instrument in a show/movie, and nothing they are doing matches the music.

      Good parallel. I don’t even need it to be perfect, I just don’t need to see a person holding a controller when it’s obvious they have never touched one in their life and they’re just randomly thrashing at it like a curious monkey

        Honestly, movies and shows should stick to showing people playing racing games, because then you only need to instruct the actor to move the left stick around and hit the right trigger.

        Perfectly believable gameplay with just two inputs.

          But they almost always need to show them playing a shooter because then they get to talk about how hard they are killing everybody while doing their best impression of what their 13 year old nefew talks about on Fortnite or COD or whatever, but as a 30 year old actor. Lol
