[QUOTE="Heap Thaumaturgist, post: 302467, member: 4516"] I dunno, but I'm getting some anger and hostility, here. You talk about your game group in a detatched, disgusted way. They're "goobers" "idiots" ... they all congratulate you, they all crowd around and pat you on the back and say "great game" and your tone has no respect for them. You feel superior to them ... you seem to view this "epiphany" as a sort of higher mentality, and not only are you smarter, but you're able to take them all out "in three seconds". There is a subscribing, here, to the idea that physical accomplishment is more "worthwhile" and respectable than mental exercises or imaginative accomplishments. I'm not flaming, I'm just making an initial observation. Everybody is posting about how they like gaming and you aught to, but if you don't, maybe you should take a break untill you do again. I'm saying examine your hostility and disgust. Find out what's the root of that. See if it's anger at yourself for how you think other people view you. If there is a desire to become part of a different subcultural identity. I'm saying that because your tone, word usage, and overall feelings remind me of people who want to change how they are seen and enter another group or clique. A growing respect for the ideas and views of a different subculture than the one they feel they are in. Distancing, disgust, objectification of people formerly friends. --HT [/QUOTE]
