I used to be afraid to tell people how much I love video games, because most people thought of the South Park MMO guy meme as your average gamer. It MIGHT be true, but some of us really just love the craft and what is made of that craft!

It’s like no one has/had any strong opinion about movie aficionados, other than they may not be fun to watch a movie WITH. I don’t know. It was strange then, and still is. lol
