Just lots of manufactured drama about new media personalities I don't know of and otherwise totally uninformed political takes across the board

Why do I come to a place where I never learn anything meaningful and the substantive conversation is just frustrating

I guess I'm with @DevsBro and wish people used the gaming tag so I could just see the posts related to that

Shit man

those of us who have been here a decade+

Only the death of this site will free us

Why would you ever do this kind of thing if you didn't like it? I can understand getting into a rut but you have to at least like it at first

I honestly think I started hating the fax more after social media got popular and I became fb friends with the people I liked

Sure. But Gamefaqs hasn't been a social outlet for me in a long time. It's mostly become a place for me to just see what people are talking about, like reddit.

I feel like the internet in general is just shittier. But it's hard to know if that was actually the case or if I'm just getting older and more cynical. I know CE at large is getting older and more cynical lol.

So are you saying it never brought you joy or not?

This kinda shit is what I mean about the site bothering me. Just say I'm wrong or that you were wrong so we can hash it out dude

Eventually CE will just be one loony poster, arguing with himself across several alts as the regulars leave one by one.

You know I honestly tried with my fitness topics but I just felt like even they got too toxic and became actively harmful to my fitness goals lmao

Social media + the rise of corporate censorship. We have only a few good years left before its all reined in.

I was agreeing with your reply. So I'm wrong.

I think Gamefaqs is the most fun when speculating about gaming topics but there's been nothing interesting to speculate about (imo).

CE is a different story though, I've never had a personal connection to this board and that's what I meant I was jealous of.

Listen up pal don't try and make me feel bad for getting upset at you

How dare you expect me to investigate my own foibles
