Weekend Discussion: Have you ever been worried about the effect gaming has on you, or your life?

Hello. It’s been a while. For those of you who aren’t aware, our home instance has been going through a bit of drama as of late, and it’s sort of pushed a lot of us to step back. However, now that the future is looking a little rosier, I think it’s time to start getting the place rocking again....

Hoozzer,

I really struggle with fandoms and the entitlement of gamers. The loud minority (I hope) is so insufferable I can’t get over my social anxiety to even make online friends. No space feels safe, and even inclusive communities are filled with people complaining about shit.

It’s exhausting, and it makes me feel association guilt for being a part of such a vitriolic hobby.

Hoozzer,

Yeah patient gaming has definitely been a nice place for sure.

If it weren’t for years of gaming isolation I’d probably have a much easier time meeting people, but it’s hard to test the waters when you’re jaded.

Hoozzer,

Thanks, you raise a good point. I think I’d feel more pride if I felt more able to participate, but as it is I’m not comfortable opening myself up to constant attack just because I have an opinion. But the best we can do is try, I suppose.

Hoozzer,

Settlers of Catan is one of the worst board games ever made. I will die on this hill.

Hoozzer,

Next they will start issueing company scrip, then a company town around the YouTube mines.
