    I get people preferring one platform over another. What I don’t understand is platform loyalty/tribalism. It makes no sense. Just enjoy your games!

      I honestly don’t know which is stupider, console wars or iPhone vs Android. Like. Use whatever you like to get your dopamine rush.

      I especially can’t wrap my brain around being so loyal to your console that you’d try to get someone fired for playing a game on the other console. If you are at that point, you need to go outside for serious. Go for a nice hike in the woods or something.

    The PS fan boys are the least chill. See the PS blog whenever a PC version gets announced. Some of them are just incredibly partisan and sad.

      And I truly do not get it. I was a PlayStation person before I got a PC, and I never understood it even then. Why are you getting mad at more people getting to play good games?

        Because for the, it’s their identiy. Their choice needs to “win”, regardless of how stupid and self-defeating in the long run it is.

      Assholes that still believe that they should be loyal to a single megacorp are trying to get someone that works for said megacorp fired from their job for streaming a game that is on a competing megacorp’s console

    Some people truly have nothing going on in their lives. I’d feel bad for them if they weren’t destructive. Alanah is awesome. The line about them being jealous of her successes is accurate here.
