Is J Cole a gamer?

I know he called himself a geek on Poor thang, but is he a gamer?

There's a couple of Mario bros. references:

"Dodge shells collect coins like i'm Mario, but this is not a gaming experience, i'm serious" cLOUDs

"I'm Koopa i never been the Mario type"

Troubles

"Could put an M right on your head, You Luigi brother now"

95.south

Maybe a couple more that i can't remembrr right now. But tbf You don't have te be a gamer to make those references. I mean, everyone knows Mario bros.

But there's also a Sims reference on TFO

"This life is like it's all set up for God to play The Sims"

The villest

To me this is still a mainstream reference, but maybe a little deeper in terms of gaming.

The one reference that make think that Cole is a real gamer it's on TOS:

"Big Boss, less Rick Ross more like a wavy Hideo Kojima"

Applying.pressure

I mean ik Kojima is kinda known outside the gaming world, but the Big Boss reference made me think that he actually played MGS3, ik Kojima or Mgs are not a niche reference but it's not a mainstream reference either. Idk if there's some other gaming references or if he talks about this on interviews or something.

If there's any other gaming references lmk

Btw sorry about my English, tried my best.
