For me it’s PC games, for my gf it’s tabletop games, so I was interested, what do you folks imagine as the first thing when someone says “games”?

I had probably gone a year or two until someone mentioned it last month.

For me I’d probably assume it was video games of some sort if someone said they were ‘really into games’. That’s speaking as someone who knows a lot of hardcore boardgame players.

That said context is everything…

I feel like people who play video games call it “gaming”, like “really into gaming”. Saying just “games” sounds unnatural for video games but maybe okay for board games.
