Well I think that's it for me lads, it was mostly fun but somewhere along the way, talking about videogames or following videogame news became an endless stream of toxicity, a bunch of insufferable idiots screaming "DEI" and "Woke" at practically every single game, not to mention all the misinformation and then there's the dooming among Xbox fans while I just want to play and enjoy videogames, this side of the hobby, being engaged in online communities, has became draining to me and I like to have a positive attitude.

I'm also not going to beat around the bush, the US Election results have bummed me out a lot, I can't deal with yet another 4 years of non-stop nonsense from that orange dickhead, now adding RFK Jr and Elon Musk to the mix. To be honest, I'm not going to shit up G2's thread up by arguing with Trump voters but as it stands right now, as a European and proud supporter of Ukraine, I can't bring myself to be fake friendly with Trump voters, they knew what they were voting for more than your average voter.

I don't think I can deal with this shit, my positivity is being drained by everything around me lately and I think I need a detox from the internet or at least try to avoid it as much as possible and just focus on what makes me happy, my own country and people around me. I'm going to be in no appropriate mood to be a good Mod to a good user either.

I've already deleted Twitter so I'm not really useful to the thread anymore anyway.

Yeah, take a break, I do it often especially social media.  I can go months not being on social media since there is so much crap out there.  As you stated work on your mental health and hopfully we see you back soon.

WTF did Xbox do to friends? I lost 20 of them with this whatever new policy or whatever it is.

Pretty sure they just went back to the traditional friends system of adding someone and that was it lol. Got rid of the follower system which I never understood why that was a thing to begin with.

I had 41 friends and 20 followers now I have 20 friends and 20 followers so that math doesn't add up. Plus I lost ones I know I had been friends with since 360 but since passed away and now they were removed. I can't exactly friend request them.

I cant say much about politics since that, economics and religion are three subjects I avoid when discussing whether online or not.

But why not just come here to talk about what game you are playing or about new game announcements and stuff instead of jumping into stuff no average person like ourselves have no leverage or control over (i.e. Politics, etc).

I mean...this is still a gaming forum first and foremost.
