  • This… I remember one of our neighbors finally letting their homeschooled kid go to public school and play with us. We had to teach him how to run. I remember my young mind being baffled by this. He was incredibly naïve and overly trusting so he got bullied mercilessly and beat up at recess. His mother did him no favors by being really nasty with us when we went over to take him fishing, exploring, etc. We moved away and i wonder what happened to him… he was a gentle soul.





  • Noticed people talking about this for a while regarding Arc. For myself it seems as gaming became more accessible and streaming took off (especially on PC) the toxicity and trolling in games with social features increased exponentially. As a result I now deliberately avoid games with any kind of PVP if it’s not separate or solo-able, and I disable chats and voice out of habit unless i’m with clanmates. I don’t even give it a chance. I ignore people in open world or “live” games in pve areas for the most part as well.

    During the ps3/360 era i could join random games and meet interesting people and most were just normal. Not sure what console atmosphere is like now since i stopped buying them.

    Hopefully this becomes more of the norm.
