My focus and interest in it never really timed up with my time in the FGC, but I have played a lot of Tekken, especially when I had local friends willing to pick it up with me. I never really knew what I was doing, but it's a series I have a lot of respect for.

I took out a loan to build my PC last year right after the election because I had a feeling I'd be priced out of an upgrade if I didn't, but it still got worse than I thought it would.

It's also incredibly annoying because some of us have to actually spend time out there telling this shit to people who don't already believe it.

That's probably the best way I've seen it put.

They say a lot of smart things, but it's also the same conclusions that any honest observer would already come to. I found it more exhausting than useful.

I unfollowed Karl months ago because they gave me these performative type vibes, so I can't say I'm surprised by stuff like this even if I'd like to believe better.

I have to say all the time that I'm so grateful for my wife because I learned a trade and worked my way into management just to stall out at $14/hour and I've been seemingly locked out of a career change or even another job at this point.

I graduated high school in 2008 and entered into adult life and renting an apartment at 18 years old during a recession.

I finally start gaining some momentum in my late 20s and my life is on the uptick just in time for covid to come along and derail everything.

I definitely get it.

To make this even more clear; I'm not just a fortnite tourist, I've literally played this game *every season* since it's launched. I've played on mobile, Xbox, PS4, PS5, Switch, and PC. I've likely got over 2000 hours in this game.

But my line has been crossed, so I'm saying goodbye. You can too.

I've played Fortnite since the game launched, I have a founder's package that includes Save the World. It's going to be a big adjustment removing this game from my habits, but I've already canceled my Crew subscription and uninstalled. Unless things change, and change DRASTICALLY, I won't be back.

I'm only moving up from my 4070ti Super if there's a **80-range card with at least 24GB of VRAM. I'm perfectly happy to sit with what I have for a few years if they can't do better than 16.

I'm a coffee fanatic and can't live without it. My wife has a sensitive stomach, so I have to be careful about what I get her.
