adults, while forcing all children above the age of 5 to sit still, be silent, and obey orders for 7-8 hours a day with minimal breaks, reducing their exposure to fresh air and sunlight to almost nothing, forcing them to alter their natural sleeping patterns to increase productivity, and repeatedly telling them their self worth depends on their being able to follow these instructions perfectly for 13 or more years: kids these days are so lazy! they never go outside! they never want to do anything! clearly it’s not because of us!

  • the sexual tension between you and the other player completing same questline
  • jumping as valid form of communication
  • urge to wear the butt ugly Rare and/or Old retired gear to show that you are better than everyone else
  • the cryptids that are players who have hit the level cap but their character looks like walking shitpost
  • having to complete missions in middle of place where some people are roleplaying very seriously and u just feel like janitor cleaning stage in middle of play rehearsal as you try to do ur work and move on asap
  • the odd mildly nostalgic feeling of being high level player and watching obviously new players playing the game for first time

good post except the first bullet point is not a very gamerlike behavior…

i was living under the impression that having sexual tension to left and right and being horny for everyone and everything was like.. core of being a Tru Gamer™

showing up late to a meeting with an iced drink is a power move. like with hot drinks the cup is opaque and people cant tell the temperature so they dont know how long ago you got it. maybe its hours old. maybe you just got caught in traffic. who can say. but iced drinks. its clear. they can see the ice. they can see if its still frozen. they look you in the eye and they know you were standing in line fifteen minutes ago and made the conscious, deliberate decision to get a mocha frap instead of being on time. and then you made ANOTHER conscious, deliberate decision to bring it into the meeting with you, informing everyone in attendance that on your list of priorities, each and every one of them ranks firmly below one (1) mocha frappuchino.
