/r/truegaming casual talk
Hey, all!
In this thread, the rules are more relaxed. The idea is that this megathread will provide a space for otherwise rule-breaking content, as well as allowing for a slightly more conversational tone rather than every post and comment needing to be an essay.
Top-level comments on this post should aim to follow the rules for submitting threads. However, the following rules are relaxed:
- 3. Specificity, Clarity, and Detail
- 4. No Advice
- 5. No List Posts
- 8. No topics that belong in other subreddits
- 9. No Retired Topics
- 11. Reviews must follow these guidelines
So feel free to talk about what you've been playing lately or ask for suggestions. Feel free to discuss gaming fatigue, FOMO, backlogs, etc, from the retired topics list. Feel free to take your half-baked idea for a post to the subreddit and discuss it here (you can still post it as its own thread later on if you want). Just keep things civil!
Also, as a reminder, we have a Discord server where you can have much more casual, free-form conversations! https://discord.gg/truegaming

Seeing the disgusting reaction to games every time one is announced with a female lead really makes me not want to follow this industry anymore.
I'm a straight white man but as an outsider to that discussion the whole thing just turns me off.
Even Concord, which I had no interest in ever playing, I found myself defending because of the awful things people would say about the character designs.
We are now seeing it again with Witcher 4 and the new Naughty Dog game and it just makes me sick to see all these "gamers" come out and rage/hate women.
I just... Don't want to do this anymore. It's too depressing.
