I think that the true "gamer's edge" is the ability to be able to watch a piece of media that depicts gaming culture and clock at any given moment whether it's authentic or not. the way a person moves their hands while playing a certain genre of game. the fidelity/depth of sound design relative to the graphical fidelity. the precise level of narrative irony vs the game's supposed release date / mainstream appeal.

but then if that is so then there is also a "knitter's edge", a "philatelist's edge", a "podcast fan's edge", and so on for all communities. and the most popular person among each of those worlds must be declared the edgelord
