        @avantgame WTF does that have to do with anything? Are they saying you don't count because you talk about games (ew, ick, the kid stuff)?

        @MidnightRem yes, the idea was because I think game can be important and emotional, I have no idea what real life is

        @avantgame Ugh. Clearly, Shakespeare's plays are the only format in which true emotion has ever been and will ever be expressed. *sigh*
