@QuetzalPhoenixReminder It was always about Video Games. Everything that has happened in the last 10 years. Everything. All of it.
@mattyglesiasSpecifically, even though online multiplayer is a technical improvement over couch multiplayer it’s clearly worse for promoting socializing, friendship, etc
@RetroNationX2000-2007 was the peak of gaming and it’s not even nostalgia talking.
@RealGeorgeBPeople will look at this graph, then somehow have the gall, to look at you in the eyes and tell you that gamers didn't build this country. Sad.
@honestpollsterIt tracks reddit turning into a gay commie cess pit
@jmhorpIt was the Kurt Cobain Effect. We have returned to trend after the Effect wore off
