    No. Because you see, and may not quite understand, real life is totally different than what is depicted in games. This is primarily because video games aren’t real, and therefore cannot reciprocate affection.

    On the other hand, romance in the real world is life affirming. It is among the most beautiful things human beings are capable of. It is a gift and one I have been able to share with my partner for over 18 years.

      Okay, so it’s a personal opinion based on experience. Cool, good for you. Glad that’s cleared up.

        I’m pretty sure the majority of the entire planet thinks real world romance beats pretending pixelated characters actually give a shit about you.

        But clearly your personal opinion is that of the minority- and is no less valid.

                Someone using the word “cornball” is weighing in on what defines mature discourse.

                  Someone using the term “mature discourse” desperately wants to beat the cringey cornball allegations lol

                    I’d have said “adult talk” but I didn’t want to assume you were a child just because you act like one.

                    I’m going to block you now as I don’t see you being worth talking to any further.
