    They just don’t make memes like they used to, and none of us can just run in without fearing the wrath of strangers. The folks who take games too seriously won.

    Maybe not everywhere, but multiplayer games for sure have more serious elements to them than I ever thought.

    In a way, this is what I wanted back in the 90s when so few people understood the potential of video games as a serious art form.

      Same, but definitely not for competitive multiplayer games. That’s the antithesis of the direction gaming should go in.

      Instead, we should’ve moved more towards co-op. Gamers would be happier and healthier, which is why it was decided they should not appreciate it.

      I genuinely feel bad for all the people getting suckered into wasting hundreds of hours in a game like fortshit just because it’s free and their loser friends got suckered into playing it, too. They have no idea what’s happening around them. If they ever realize it, it will likely be too late.
