something that's good that you just can't stand

This would just be your hipster showing.

The way the question is posed, it sounds like you're just asking if we lost that gaming connection with people, right? Well, of course I have some experiences with people like that.

I used to play with my younger brother all the time, but rarely do we ever get to do that these days since he moved to another state. The same goes with my best friend Chris. We used to couch coop multiple times a week, but that had to stop when he moved 2500 miles away.

I used to be really into Maple Story, and I met a number of people and became good online friends with them. I haven't played that game in a decade or so though, and nowadays I may comment on a Facebook post of theirs once a year or so, but that's about it.

My friend Charlie, one of my best friends in middle school and high school, was someone that used to play games all the time. We used to play Perfect Dark and Smash Bros. on a projector at his place. However, he's changed a lot since then, and no longer plays video games at all (he considers them a distraction, and, technically, he's not wrong). So we no longer have that gamer connection we once did.

And, of course, there are people that come in and out of our lives as the years go by for this and that reason. They are no exception.

"I don't play scratch and wins anyway so it doesn't matter to me"

However, I did know this. Seemed relatively obvious, I feel, from the few scratch-offs I've gotten around Christmas time and the like. But maybe the directions on the Connecticut lottery tickets offer more guidance on how to redeem them than the others?

Pink Robin. Yum!

The jump from once a month to once a year seemed pretty big. I voted for "other", as I'll eat it a handful of times a year - namely at get-togethers at people's houses or for helping a friend move. I rarely go out for pizza; it's primarily used as an easy thing to order when lots of people are gathered in one place.

Reminded me of this part in Bastion...
