I won’t deal with you getting off topic. I’m more than happy to type out 500 words on the actual subject.

In an article titled ‘what gaming things are you too old for’ I don’t think about the state of MLP and its fans. So, making this assumption that my distaste for Gamers ignores fanaticism as a whole is derailing, intentional or otherwise. I won’t deal with it.

I think one thing Gamers and tech fetishists fail to realize is the practicality of VR vs. all the other things they point to as ‘see, no one knew they wanted THIS either’

Yeah, but it’s how we sensationalize things to give it an added allure, or to keep a thing’s existence in the collective mindshare, that’s the ‘re-hyping’ not “man, I can’t wait to die from VR! I hope today’s the day!”

Aw man, I can’t wait to have all my senses cut off from reality because you told me that’s the only way to consume games!

Given that VR is hyper expensive, and even the most vocal cheerleaders have seemed to cool off on this tech fetishism (Gamers getting super hyped and immediately abandoning something? WHAT, NO. NO.), I doubt it’s worth it to try and re-hype the fad by crying, “it’s a matter of time before someone dies lololol”

Or maybe, just maybe, this is why we should’ve steered clear of the ‘everything’s free’ race to the bottom.

To be a bit cynical - just because we haven’t heard of it doesn’t mean it hasn’t happened. Also: give it time. Sports has been a part of society for much longer.

I made a reply to someone else that’s very similar to addressing these points.

I gotchu, ;D

You have a point but I only know gaming fandom on this level, and he asked about gaming things I’m too old for, not about movies or books or music.

Except by your description, everyone is a gamer. So no one is a Gamer. And that’s what Gamers hate.

That’s a good show :D

Gamers.

It’s almost as if people shouldn’t be using other people’s IPs as a means for their entire online identity and branding...

It’s great to see this, for how unexpected it is but how much sense it really makes.

I LOVE that this starter goes from adorably doofy to adorably adorable. Poplio/Brionne all the way.

You and me both!

If I had the money, I’d buy a billboard just to post this for all to see.

But honestly, let’s not bring reason and practical thinking into this discussion... ;p
