      I haven't dared post anything there because of what I learned from Reddit culture and its /r/gaming :so-true: community in particular, but knowing that the mods here aren't down with that makes me feel more comfortable considering that in the future.

        :a-little-trolling: We have the best mods folks. Many people are saying this.

          Are you ready for a crisis situation, like say a professional game reviewer giving a Zelda game a 7/10?

            That's the best part, people here are already far more critical than any mainstream game sites, and most of the discourse around gaming here is just people talking about cool indie/niche rpg/strategy/sim shit and complaining about HOI being too reactionary.

            Myself I try to keep tabs on the intersection of labor and gaming and post as many updates on that as possible.

              Maybe I'd be better off going there if I criticize something in a video game or criticize the industry's corporations and oligarchical leadership.

              In my experience, being too fast and loose with treats criticism even on Hexbear can get some fans of it to take it personally, then they start calling me names and holding weird grudges against me for what I said for days or even weeks alter.

                Dude, people not agreeing with your weird hot takes isn't the fault of everyone here but you being an incurable treat defender. You aren't The One True Leftist. Get off it.

                  Dude, it's fine to disagree with me or even to dunk on me, but it gets weird when the grudge carries on and said treat haver starts making it a personal mission to follow my posts because I said a bad thing about the treats.

                  Get off it.
