It's perfectly understandable that people have their concerns about the games they want to play but I feel like there's got to be a point when you step back and ask yourself, what the hell am I doing? Why does there have to be so much criticism and debate over something you enjoy as a hobby?
It's pretty sad. I'm picky about my games too but even I can stop and allow myself to enjoy something. If your hobby gets you so worked up that you can't have fun anymore, you should consider something else. You deserve better than to be miserable over things you have little control over.
It's a shame when the AAA games are actually legit but those are the games people want to crash and burn.
Titanfall is legit as fuck and deserves all of its praise for being damn good but niggas too hung up in its console war bullshit to give it the respect
EA absolutely killed it this year outside of Hardline but they're still crucifying them because of some shitty web award, yet these are the same motherfuckers who buy Ubisoft games.
Speaking of Ubi, I'm just gonna wait on discounts from now on for AC Rogue and The Division. I fear what will happen to RSix after how fucked AC and FC4 was.

Its easier to talk about and be "passionate" about something if its new for everybody. Why talk about game design in ways that require extra brain juice when you can rattle of your newest opinion willy nilly with a hundred other dudes?
Shit isn't always the cynical though, there are a lot of posters that post and talk about stuff with passion, with thought. But it would be naive to say that a lot of posters don't treat these forums as a internet highschool.

For me, I like being critical and debating things I enjoy. It's part of the fun for me. It's not enough that something works/doesn't work; I have to understand why it works or doesn't work. It's part of why I engage these communities at all.
But like Morma said, so much of the conversation is high school shit. It's not about enjoying things or having interesting discussion. It's about rooting for teams and following the hype. There's no room for nuance or reasonable discussion. And even though everyone is miserable, it doesn't occur to them to just get off the ride and find something else to do. Probably because a lot of them don't know what else to do.
I'm sure most of us have been there. I suggest some Crown and Cola (or Pepsi), put on some Sade and just chill for the rest of the night and start fresh tomorrow. Wake up to Ante Up, cook your food to some more ratchetness then you're ready for the new day.

Nothing TOO serious. Just...sometimes you gotta keep your cards close to your chest when you're dealing with jumpoffs.
Met a guy when I first moved to Philly. Professor at Penn, super suave....we went on a few dates, but while he was nice enough both of us could tell that neither of us were looking for anything too serious at that point. However, we would later discover that the sexual chemistry was on another level.
Like, dick too bomb. TOO bomb.
And so while we've never gotten serious, me and dude have kept in touch. Every few weeks or so when his schedule syncs with mine, we'll hit each other up and get it in. Super casual, no-strings-attached. Perfect. This has gone on for almost 7 years now. And there was never any drama...until recently.
So a few months back I was supposed to stop by his place. And I did...only I was bit late. Ok...I was 2 hours late. And while we still did our thing, he was CLEARLY pissed off. Ever since then, whenever he hits me up he NEVER wants to host (which is awkward because I have housemates, meanwhile he lives alone), and he never wants to bend outside of his schedule. And whenever I hit him up his responses are always borderline dickish. Like, I messaged him last night to see if he wanted to stop thru, and HOURS later all I get is, "Not sure yet, but thanks for offer."
Excuse me? 'Thanks for offer'? Oh, so I'm the fucking Avon lady now???
No response. But then he messages me this morning like, "Sorry about last night."
And instead of being CHILL, like I SHOULD HAVE BEEN. Instead of replying with a blank, "It's cool" that would have kept me L-free, I decide for some reason to completely unleash. Called him out on how he's been treating me like he's doing me a favor these last months. Told him not to get it twisted, because if I just wanted dick I could get more of it than there are stops on the El train between his house and mine, and in the same amount of time it would take me to travel there. And then I made the mistake of sending him this:
"But I hit you up because your dick is that damn good. But don't think that I need it."
Immediately knew I shouldn't have sent that. Like...NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!. In these back-and-forth you never give up power. NEVER TELL A GUY that their dick is too bomb. Gave up ALL my cards. Completely put myself out there and exposed the thirst.
He hasn't hit me back yet...and now I feel like I might have just canceled on some good chico stick before I actually had to.
You gotta understand...I think by now I've given enough indication for y'all to know that Roy knows dick. So when I tell you that the dick was too bomb...you gotta believe me. The dick was TOO bomb.

Its weird seeing a lot of TV show threads overtime and Chappelle's show rarely being on people's favorites list. Probably the most timeless piece of comedy so far in the 21st century. Shit is still hilarious ten years later after watching both seasons over a dozen times. When it comes to comedy, Chappelle's Show and Seinfeld, I'm all set.

After next semester, I'm going to be graduating. And this makes me consider something that would be pretty sad but also possibly a step I really need to make, so I'm having mixed feelings...
I think after New year's, I'll be letting go of the online stuff. It's got nothing to do with anyone. It is a decision I'm making to put my focus and energy elsewhere. And it feels like the right thing to do.

It's not the bear jokes lol those are funny. It's just a decision I'm making to chase a goal. I noticed a lot of things about myself over the year I've been on here and the changes that have come to my life have made me realize how important it is to live to the fullest and realize my potential.
This isn't the only thing I'm letting go of. And GAF isn't why I'm doing this. It's got more to do with my newfound confidence.

To provide some background, this year, I've gained a lot of leverage to become more independent, lost my beloved pet turtle, and have pushed myself to accomplish things that I wouldn't have ever dared to a year ago. Through all my suffering, the highs and lows, I feel like I'm tons better than who I used to be. So, to continue improving, I've got to let go of some things and embrace others.
I hate to kill the mood but I felt I should say something early instead of dropping a bomb on everyone New year's eve. I'm gonna stick around through Christmas with you guys cuz we're fam but after that, ishi won't be a cub anymore.
