These gamers had a listen in to their friends' personal lives, and they've stopped laughing for long enough to tell the stories. You don't need me to tell you that playing video games is a proper American pastime. If you aren't a gamer yourself, chances are you know a kid who's playing Roblox right now, or maybe you have a sibling who's glued to their chair playing Call of Duty. For a lot of people, playing video games is a great way to relax, catch up with friends, and let off some steam after…

The internet has been around for a while now, and there's a lot of information—far too much, really—readily available at our fingertips that once might have been a bit more difficult to find. When it comes to video games, a lot of knowledge is spread through word of mouth. You might try for days to solve a certain puzzle or figure out the trick to a certain boss fight. Sometimes, this could get frustrating, but finding the answer always felt extremely rewarding.

The 00s “console wars” were absolutely nuts, looking back… with fervent fanboys rabidly backing the corporation that they had elected to give their disposable income to as if they had a personal stake in the success of the company. Forums were filled with arguments over which console was better, and what features or exclusive games were offered that made the console of their backing. Love it or hate it (and I'm sure even today, this statement will spark controversy) the Wii was a clear winner.…

Nobody likes a mooch. When you're going out on a limb to help someone, especially a family member, and they treat your generosity with the same disdain as an entitled teenager, the ‘woe is me’ act starts to get old.

When this DM made a post about a player's interesting request, they had no idea it would capture the attention of the DND community . Reddit isn't nearly as anonymous as people like to think it is. This DND player, u/EmotionalMacaroon169, tried to make a post on a throwaway account. They shared with the DND community that they were in a conundrum. A new player joined their homebrew game, and since she's a vegan, she wanted the game's world to reflect that. The OP was using a throwaway account s…

Gaming can be a great hobby; it can be exciting, relaxing, and really get your blood moving in those tense situations that get the adrenaline pumping. Still, it lends itself to being taken a little to seriously; competitive passion can often turn into nasty toxic behavior towards the people on the other side of the screen. Some gaming communities, particularly the ones that require large investments of time to develop the skill to play the game correctly and rely heavily on team cooperation, le…

Even if you had the nicest boss in the world, getting laid-off is never easy. It doesn't matter how much you pour your heart into your work or how many hours you put in, money-grubbing CEOs will always choose profits over people. Welcome to capitalism, buddy. You and your boss could become the best of friends, get drinks after work, share a funny duet during karaoke, but when it comes to cutbacks, employees are always the first to suffer. What can you do? Nothing, usually. Unless you and your C…

Gamers tends to have a bad reputation. The boomers simply see the kids that would be glued to the video games and procrastinate doing their homework and never go outside. So when they hear an adult say that they are a “gamer," many think that this is a person who is anti-social and will not get any thing done because they will be too busy on their consoles. However, that is simply not the truth when it comes to adult gamers. Sure, adult gamers will also spend a lot of time gaming, but they are…

One dude asked for help regarding this super awkward situation with their boss, writing, “Honestly, if I wasn’t terrified of getting fired… I’d would find this situation funny [and] hilarious.”

In the times before Zoom calls , computer rooms used to be a haven for cuddling up, eating 800 snacks, and playing video games until 4 AM. There was no need for them to be pretty or aesthetic, because you and your closest pals were the only ones who needed to see your gaming room . This, as you can image, results in some pretty cursed computer setups. Some are messy and cluttered with food leftovers, some are absurdly built, and some have withered our eyeballs from the sheer shock of these comp…

Game is life

Gamers unite

A fight we'd pay to watch

Game over, fools

Plus one wholesomeness.
