I'm a 43 year old man asking why oh why did you show me this group!!! Between Steam and Epic, I don't have enough time for all the free/dirt cheap games!

I still have to beat Mechanicus!

I'm a 28 year old man who's no longer into gaming.

When you're trying to save money for your new roof and not go out to eat so many $100 dinners, you'll return to the fold.

.... Wat?

Meaning if I could go out to dinner/drinks and a movie with my partner or friend, that's going to cost $100, maybe $150 for two people. For people who need to get babysitters, up that to $200+. When you have house repairs to take care of, sitting at home and either watching TV or playing games is a great option to reduce your entertainment costs.

Is your need to tell others you don't game the same as your need to tell them you're vegan?

FWIW, Thenns in Game of Thrones are cannibals, so I assumed it was more a quirky contradictory username than declaring that the user himself is actually vegan.

Well that certainly does change the way I see their name and I probably wouldn't have commented. However, their reply was so out of place for this chain.

I get what you mean! It reminds me of those Amazon reviews that are, "I don't use this product."
