“A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It is a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity.” Jimmy Carter

really disturbed & disgusted at all the comments I see on multiple posts since TGA that this or that game is "woke" because the main character is a woman and they "don't want to play as a woman". I played so many games with male main character I never saw the issue?Misogyny in the industry is INSANE

The two ways you play FromSoftware games is to either constantly watch hour long lore videos or to go “that’s a weird looking guy” and mashing the dialogue button until you can fight a mushroom man

Even after all these years, nothing makes me feel happy and peaceful like playing Pokemon. Every so often I need to re-learn that it's necessary to make time to play for fun! These happy moments make getting through the hard stuff worth it.
