I'm in my late thirties. Played a lot of video games when I was a kid through college and a little after. But this whole idea of there being a "gaming culture" or how being a "gamer" is a major part of peoples' personalities just seems weird to me. Not even a complaint, just an observation.

    I think it's pretty telling that your first move is the nuclear option.

    I used the term Hegelian DIalectic exactly once, precisely where I thought it belonghed. Everything else is you projecting like a motherfucker.

      The basis of your absurd claim was based upon your "exactly once" invocation. You also started early on with it, too, since it was the apparent basis of your argument.

      You've made several personal attacks on me already, with a touch of concern trolling, and now you're complaining about "nuclear options?"

      I don't think replying to you anymore is going to go anywhere good.

        I criticized a for-profit private enterprise, administered by some of the richest and most destructive people on the planet, and you took that criticism personally. You apparently approve of the privatization of space in a way that doesn't seem very leftist and I stand by that.

        You talk about "escalation" and you brought that personal baggage here, unprompted. You accused me of being "obsessed with Reddit," but you're demonstrating what seems like a Reddit-style grudge because someone, yes I'll say it, criticized the space treats.

        You don't have to like me, but that grudge isn't going to go anywhere good.

            We're only human and we have feelings that can be hurt. I'm definitely no exception. I admit I was worried that you might start following my posts and attacking me all over this site. It's something I experienced in the past in other places and it still bothers me when I think about it. I'm sincerely glad that you posted that followup that you just did and I feel relief.

            We don't agree on everything, and that's fine. I thank you for your reply. :an-eco-heart:
