yeah I'm gay and am on the autism spectrum, between that and being a leftist "parasite" (food stamp recipient), I've largely resigned myself to my fate as well. But I'm not going to fucking El Salvador or any other memory hole he shoves people into. I'd rather die on my front lawn.

I guarantee you that would not work, because I went through cyber schooling as a kid long before covid was a thing and they tried the same with me when I procrastinated and played games instead of doing my work. They locked it down progressively more and I kept breaking out until finally, they gave me a computer so locked down you couldn't open task manager, command prompt, safe mode had a password...

I was back to full access in <3 days. At the age of like 12. And apparently, the school's IT department basically said "we can't lock it down any more or else he wouldn't be able to do work on it, either". And then they gave up.

In short, that will not stop a crafty enough, stubborn enough kid. Guaranteed.

I swear, the best way to experience Helldivers 2's community is to just be decent in games with randoms, maybe watch CommissarKai's videos (do not go into the comments section) for tips on teamplay, and absolutely positively do not venture into the steam forums, the discord, or any other big discussion forum centered around the game because it w i l l be a cesspit, unfortunately. The Steam forums have the usual toxic trolls, but the Discord (and other hubs) is usually having furious arguments over buffs, nerfs, what is meta, what isn't, what should be done what shouldn't be and so on. For a silly little PvE co-op power fantasy game.

I'm not sure if Deep Rock Galactic has this problem, I've played it and it all seemed pretty positive but I never got into the game as much as I did HD2.

In-game everyone is usually wonderful.

The official discord server, on the other hand... no. Just no.

I think this story gave me brain damage.

This could be fake, but it's definitely gay.

first of all you're not shittymorph, and second of all, I believe we prefer meta shitposts about beans around these parts

and thus my headcanon was ruined

I choose to believe they did, in fact, just post an image with a green canvas and white text saying "Frog wearing glasses", simply because that headcanon is funnier to me
