From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it's gaming you can probably discuss it here!

Mid-2000's gamer culture really was the worst.
I am sad to hear that the term "JRPG" has been tarnished by the hypermasculinity of that time. PS2 era JRPGs were an absolute heyday and one of my favorite periods in gaming (possibly mostly due to nostalgia goggles, but still).
It was very much where people told anyone to go if they had any complaints about a skill check in a game, definitely used derogatorily for decades!
