I was well aware of domestic abuse and sexual assault issues before the SNES launched too.

I think this is a side effect of how mainstream gaming has become. Gaming used to be more narrow because producing content for gamers specifically was filling a niche. A gaming website catered to a specific identity by producing content you wouldn't find elsewhere. Nowadays I just don't think that's true. Gaming is a facet of everyday entertainment in a way it has never been before and a lot of people move freely between their interests. Websites and channels that generally produced gaming content have found that their audience is also very in to things like Game of Thrones or Marvel so they produce that content as well.I mean, just look at the overlap even on our forum. The overlapping interest is huge. Even though I care for neither, there's no denying the consistency.I think websites and channels that focus on one thing specifically will always be a thing, but for successful mainstream platforms it's easy to expand your scope and keep your audience captive over all the different things they're interested in.
I am the black sheep of my family. All my other siblings and mum are highly educated, they love travelling, all have partners, good paying jobs, they’re extroverts. I’m struggling to even get into university, I don’t like travelling, struggling to get a decent paid job and have no desire to find a romantic partner at all. I’m a very introverted person, basically.
Yes, definitely. My family is religious, I'm not. They're moderate-right politically, I'm progressive left. They're successful, for the most part, and despite having a reasonably good education with a CS background I'm not (this is mostly my own fault). All my siblings are married, I'm not, and thus have contributed basically nothing to anyone in that regard. Most of the things I value everyone in my family thinks is silly or stupid. I've had trouble with alcohol / drug abuse in the past, nobody in my family has. Issues of MDD as well, which is shared by only 1 family member, who unfortunately is basically impossible to talk to about it. Videogames are a huge passion of mine, and nobody has that same passion, so I desperately try to find or understand other reasonable passions of family members so I can connect on that level. It's very, very frustrating, isolating, and depressing. So yeah, I feel that way because I am that way, I guess, but I'm not mad at them for it. Just the way things are.
My Parents and Sisters are soccer fanatics who vote right.I like to sit at home in front of my computer, and I vote left.
Only in that I'm the only one (of four) still at home :\
Dota 2 is no longer free to play if you want to have the best experience. In this year’s Dota 2 “Battle Pass” — a premium subscription that usually offers cosmetics and other optional curiosities to the game — Valve bundled one of the most important features it has ever created. Players who buy the Battle Pass can now use an “experimental” Avoid Player feature, which is supposed to keep toxic players away from you. Here’s a different way to say it: Valve is now charging players a minimum of $9.99 to avoid harassers.

I kinda want to read the article before jumping to conclusions, but I also don't want to give this site any click if it is what I'm thinking.

what's the story behind riotous' beef with shosta?
Are there any studies that correlate success in life with political leanings? Or is the connection between progressive beliefs, poor mental health, and destitution on resetera spurious?

People tragically misunderstand white saviorism if they think Dany is a white savior type. She is a savior, but not a white savior because who is white in Game of Thrones?You need whiteness in order to be a white savior. Dany isn’t white nor is anybody else in Game of Thrones
I'm an idiot because I got invested in the wrong part of the story for so many years, I'm a fool who apparently didn't notice I was rooting for a fascist monster the entire time. I guess I'm just stupid

Bye bore?The entire internet is open spoiling game of thrones because it is both the biggest event on television and really bad. You shouldnt be thinking "wow game of thrones got ruined for me", you should be thinking "thank god the internet is telling me to avoid this bad show, now i dont have to waste dozens of hours of my life on something that evidently nobody cared about"
Shosta's been a slimeball this entire time, all the signs and foreshadowing were there, you just weren't paying attention. Dracarys.

I'm surprised it haven't already given Vince and his wife are well known to be in the GOP.
wtf? I literally never had any moderator attach their name or in any form contact me wrt to any of my era bans
Remember when Cerium and all said ResetEra will be more open and less power trippy than GAF was That lasted less than a year before the admin devolved back into GAF's admin's worse habits, maybe even worse.Unclear, unwritten rules that gets you bannedAn admin that has skin as thin as Evilore'sProtected posters having open reign to go wild with little consequence
