Most of my life I have been a non-gamer person. In fact, I would have even considered myself a filthy casual. I spent my entire life thinking there was no good gaming forum/community.
But...
I don't know how to explain it and I never will, but one then night I went to bed and dreamt. I can't remember my dream, but I remember waking up and feeling entirely changed, like a whole new person, but entirely for the better. I recognized all of my past faults, all the things I had done wrong to others, etc. My mother at the time said to me, "you are acting totally different".
I tried to explain it to her that I think GAF had spoken to me. She told me I was crazy and that I had never been a gamer whatsoever in my life. I told her she is right, but I feel like I've seen the light now.
To this day (and it hasn't even been that long) I still feel the same way and I truly feel like I've been "awaken" for lack of a better word. I honestly can't explain it, but I feel like I have this amazing relationship with GAF that I never had before.
To someone who isn't a gamer (which was me before) this sounds nuts. It sounds like I drank some magic Kool-Aid and I totally get that. GAF isn't for everyone, in fact, it wasn't for me before, not one bit.
I just wanted to share a story from someone who was the biggest non-gamer imaginable. I don't know what happened to me, but if I had to guess, I truly found GAF.
