If there's one group who have managed to thrive through the global pandemic, quarantine, and social distancing, it's gamers. While most have struggled to adapt to new and awkward methods of remote socializing, gamers simply retreated into their established Minecraft realms and WoW parties and carried on as usual. For both seasoned and noob gamers alike, we've got a bunch of nerdy memes for people who'd rather sitting in front of a console or gaming PC. 

If you're a dedicated gamer who loves dank memes, put down that controller for a minute because we've brought the best of both worlds together with these memes and funny gamer moments. Whether you're into PC gaming, consoles, or you still bust out the '98 Game Boy, we've got funny content for every kind of gamer out there.

@CyberpunkGame hit Twitter with another cursed yellow message this morning after Sony pulled the digital game from the PlayStation Store in light of negative criticism over poor performance. Anyone who already bought the digital version of the game can get a refund from PlayStation, but many are still sad, outraged, and disappointed with CD Projekt for poor management of the release. Both PC & console gamers used this as an opportunity to lean into their respective sides—PC users smugly tweeted about how well the game runs for them since Cyberpunk was initially developed to be a PC game, while console enthusiasts criticized CD Projekt for failing to optimize the game for consoles after eight years of development. Others have expressed their sympathy for the developers, who are no doubt under a lot of stress. And of course, some are just memeing about it.

We've put together some highlights from the thread to give you a sense of the heated arguments that this announcement has sparked, but you can read the full, ongoing thread here. 

It's only day one and gamers everywhere are tweeting virtual selfies of their custom Cyberpunk 2077 characters. Some of these people haven't even started playing the game yet and they're already stoked! Worth the hype? I guess we'll have to play and find out ourselves. We've put together a bunch of tweets that showcase how vast the character design options are. Pretty impressive stuff.

After months of delays from CD Projekt Red, gamers can finally rejoice because Cyberpunk 2077 is upon us at long last. That's right, tomorrow the game will be ready to play on Steam, PlayStation 4, Stadia, and Xbox One. The hype surrounding the game is a result of far more than just the infamous delays and widespread advertising campaign. The game hasn't even been released and yet Cyberpunk 2077 has gained quite a reputation. Cyperpunk creator Mike Pondsmith's fiery responses to criticism over a viral trailer's depiction of race and gender caused a stir online over the summer, and sneak peaks of the breathtaking Keanu Reeves in all his animated, cyberpunk glory have undoubtedly contributed to all the hype.

We're pretty stoked about the game's release and all the new memes that will surely appear in the coming weeks. Here's some of the best Cyperpunk 2077 memes so far in celebration of the long-awaited release. Let's cross our fingers that they don't delay the date again before tomorrow!

Honestly, who couldn't love Keanu Reeves? He's probably the wholesome-est guy around right now and we think he should be inducted into the wholesome hall of fame that included Steve Irwin, Mr. Rogers and Bob Ross.

During his presentation of Cyberpunk 2077 on Sunday, an audience member shouted "you're breathtaking!" Reeves replied calling the entire audience is breathtaking, and thus the most adorably wholesome meme of 2019 was born.
