The satanic global communists were on the dark side of gamergate. So Q and those gamers have common enemies, and there is a large overlap of gamers and anons. Many gamers have used the chans and that’s where Q started posting.

Q referenced deep State elements using game chats to communicate discreetly. Don't remember the specific posts

Gaming is, among other things, big media. It's used for messaging, societal conditioning, and Q is as media-savvy as any illuminati master. Q watches media, pushes media and uses it as needed. (I suspect Bethesda games was started as a clown op, now WH-run, but that's just a theory.)

And Q explicitly called out in-game messaging and chats as one of the ways the bad guys communicate with each other, mistakenly thinking it was secret.

Not exactly, when referring to the overall anon community. However, there was more than one bun using various videogames as descriptors and references.

The most notable was probably the "Punished Trump" theory back on the original /Qresearch board. The theory was based on the MGS5 punished/venom snake story narrative (Trump revenge arc) but anons ended up attributing many story arcs from all of the Metal Gear games to explain a variety of habbenings and DS fuckery over the years.

There have been other references of course, Deus Ex comes to mind. Or, alternative example would be when anons discovered DS players using obscure Star Wars Galaxies forums and in-game chat for comms. The MGS bun/notable is probably the most widely remembered and recognized game theory relation to the overall Q phenomenon though.

Deus ex machina sounds like a good red pill for the masses. The NWO trys to take over the world with fake pandemics.

I don't play games, but my understanding is that some of these games have a chat feature where you can also save messages as drafts without actually sending. Multiple bad actors all have the password to one account, so they can read the draft messages and then delete them. They didn't realize that all that messaging was being captured by the good guys. Q alluded to this.

Direct connection? No. Indirect connection? Certainly.

I don't think people understand that gamers by and large overlap with this type of community.

I've been a gamer my entire life.

Thinking outside the box/problem solving, spotting visual clues, connecting pieces/ puzzles, visual+audio pattern recognition, hand eye/read react reflex...

And maybe most important of all> everything is an illusion>don't believe what you see> dig deeper

(*Not gamers who almost exclusively play Madden/COD. Think more along the lines of Zelda, Myst, Ultima, Portal, Resident Evil (ridiculous puzzles), The Witness, and into the newer type Soulslike (pattern recognition/extreme difficulty) roguelike (venture forth, fail miserably, learn from your failure, adapt and adjust for the next run to get further)

Ehmm.. GameStop? :) I think gaming is going to be even more important medium in the future. VR, etc...
