no-lifer
Has no hobbies
A no-lifer is someone perceived as having no life outside a single obsessive pursuit—typically video games, online forums, or other solitary activities.
The term implies the person neglects work, relationships, and basic self-care: Only a no-lifer would grind that dungeon for 16 hours straight.
Used as an insult, often by people in the same community who simply invest less time.
