i don’t really give a shit about this tumblr being removed from the app store thing but above all i am really glad this is happening now and not in 2011 so i don’t have to scroll past some “PSA: TUMBLR HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE APP STORE!” “oh HELL NO!!! Dr who fandom grab your tardises!!!” “*50 gif reaction images of the supernatural guy looking pissed off” type of shit

the fact that there is a HP related movie out that i have no desire to see is still so bizarre to me

It’s sad that toxic game culture is so prevalent cuz like. As someone who has ended up in random matches with kids before, I can attest to how fucking easy it is to reverse and un-teach shitty attitudes in kids.

Example: I downloaded Friday the 13th because it’s free on psn. I dunno how to play, so I just enter quick play and I’m matched with 3-4 kids on mic. Immediately on mic they’re shitty and disparaging to each other. They laugh at each others deaths, they actively work against team mates and self sabotage, they call each other “fags”, etc. From the sounds of the voices they cannot be older than 13-14.

I put on my mic and just decide I ain’t havin it. I am nice. I thank them for barricading doors or leaving me items. When they break free from Jason’s grasp I say “good job!” or I try to help them. One kid survived for most of the match by himself. When he dies, I tell him he did a fantastic job.

The mood shift is practically INSTANT. These kids almost immediately stop being dick heads. They start encouraging each other and being kind. After the match all of them try to friend request me. Which should tell you a couple of things:

A) kids want to be kind, and they want to have a nice time playing games. But encounters with adults like me or so rare that they’ve trained themselves to instantly put on a toxic, shitty, defensive veneer when encountering any new person online. It’s literally just THAT EASY to not groom a horrible gaming community, it’s just that NO ONE does it.

B) the speed of which they all tried to friend me was cute, but paints for me such a sad picture? Like these kids are SO desperate to find people to play with who aren’t crappy jerks. They played with me for 10 minutes TOPS and all instantly tried to reach out to me.

tl;dr: The kids are alright. Adults are shit heads.

The real suspension of disbelief in Mass Effect has nothing to do with Space Magic or the existence of aliens or evil machines from the dawn of time; it’s putting Mordin Solus and Miranda “I locked eyes with Death and Death blinked first” Lawson on the same ship as Thane Krios and then asking us to believe they wouldn’t have a cure for him after two all-nighters and fifty-seven pots of coffee.

Some people just be filler episodes

depression meals™ and depression shows™ are a thing but what about depression video games™?

The Sims Obsession. you think maybe 2 hours have passed. you look at the clock. it’s been 3 days

wanting to play your favourite game but instead just listening to the music for 3 hours straight

solitaire on your phone for 50 minutes while listening to sad music (or the video game music)

starting up old favourite games and then exiting out of them once you see the menu

spending two hours making a new character in an rpg and then realizing you can’t be bothered to actually play the game

an amazing new video game, one that you’ve been waiting for for months. it takes you 3 days to finish a 40+ hour game because anything that makes you feel this good and distracted is immediately an obsession. once you finish the game you feel absolutely dead inside

“can men and women be just friends?” yeah if you dont socialize boys from birth to only see women as sex partners/objects and normalize healthy non-sexual/romantic friendships between men and women

some new dumbass: done with crit role bc the dm is too pussy to kill the player characters

me, remembering that time in campaign 1 where a character’s long-time nemesis walked over to his unconscious body and headshotted him, killing him instantly, leading to a complicated ritual where the character’s soul had to be rescued from a demon, and the player said if one wrong word was spoken during the ritual his character would refuse to return:

when i say “i hate men” im not talking about every individual man in the world, im talking about men as a social class, but if youre the kind of man that gets offended when i say i hate men then i do, specifically, hate you on an individual level

i mean…i don’t need someone to validate me romantically but i sure am bored
