I like the robo set in ACNL

So did I. When I originally made the list of worst to best furniture series in ACNL, the Robo Series was at #2 of my favorites, but my preference for holiday themes has pushed it downwards among my list.

Disney+ is overrated and a waste of money.

I don't like how competitive gaming is becoming a big focus for a lot of online games now. Developers can't satisfy both the casual players AND competitive players. That is why Overwatch is struggling. Another example is Splatoon 2 locking all the other modes to ranked and you can't play them unranked unless you do League matches with a friend which is still technically ranked in its own category. Same for Smash Ultimate where you are forced to do ranked in random matches unless you fancy waiting in long lines for Arena matches hoping the host doesn't leave. I've got quite a few examples, but those stick out to me a lot. I prioritize the fun of the game over everything else. It's just not fun stressing yourself out worrying about your rank in my opinion.

Yeah I'm not competitive at all and I hate ranked system, as for Splatoon 2 I don't even care for ranked much and even less league. I want to play for fun with friends or randoms but yeah I feel it's too much and also causes smurf accounts to be even bigger issues.

I'd argue this is plain fact lol

Sometimes it's hard to tell. Both sides will say the election is rigged when their party doesn't win. They're like children.

Yeah hypercompetitiveness isn't my thing when it comes to video games and I hate how it ruined League of Legends and it's community. I've heard that it's so much harder to make art/animations or any sort of original content now because the only thing the League community cares about is ranks and esports. It also doesn't help that Riot is sorta endorsing and encouraging this sort of behavior as well, which is why so many of the original content creators moved on because it's just so *competitive*.

Stuff like that is the reason why I end to avoid PvP games in general because once it starts becoming serious, the fun is all sucked up and it's no longer about having fun. It's all about winning and never about the experience overall.

Mark Brendanawicz from Parks and Rec was a good character. I like that he was just a normal, plain dude

Andy from the Office was absolutely obnoxious and I am glad they nuked his character

Yeah I used to play LoL until about 6 years ago or something I think before it went haywire. I had fun playing with friends and my cousin but after that it just got too much ranked/esports behavior in general and basically killed the fun and casual about it... And it definitely ticked me off from ever going back into it.

No I literally don’t understand how Hillary Hillary had over 60% of the votes back then and Trump still won

It's based on the voting system(electoral crap) and not who's got the most votes so yeah that's why. Also why Al Gore also lost before iirc.

If we went by the popular vote, the big cities would always outvote the rest of the state's voice. And most big cities are liberal. We'd be socialist in no time. lol

I feel like a lot of people take video games too seriously, as if it's their only identity. It's like those kids in gym class that took a grade 7 game of basketball like it was an official game or something. I remember when video games were just considered a past time, something to do for fun.
I recently picked up Pokemon Let's Go Eevee because all I wanted was another game to just sit down for an hour, play and then turn it off and continue with my life. I work full time, all I want is an easy game to just pick up and play. None of this hour grinding crap or "I have to win" mentality. If that's somebody's source of fun, then that's totally fine but it's not mine. I don't want to have to grind and play for 100 hours to actually be able to play properly. I want to play video games to lay back and have fun, what's the crime in that?
