Maybe? I’m not that deep in “gamer” culture, so I always just thought of it as descriptive of a particular intensity of play that leads to sweaty palms. We all experience that from time to time, some prefer it, others don’t.

No, it means the guys who don’t take hygiene seriously. The Cartman Gamers, so to speak.

No, it means the other. It is typically used in competitive games. The unshowered gamer is kind of an outdated trope at this point.

often used interchangeably with “try-hard” as a newer version of the terminology
