    COD is a roleplaying game! I roleplay as a stormtrooper that can’t hit shit! I’m pretty good at it

    (also don’t date guys that seem to play certain games performatively like they saw this post and went out to match it) (a friend dated a guy that brought a modded gameboy to social functions and played it sometimes but he never really talked about gaming and i’m pretty sure the gameboy was more about the aesthetic for him than actually playing games)

      This isn’t always the case obviously, but this can be a neurodivergent coping mechanism. As someone with high social anxiety, having something I can focus on outside the social aspect for a small period can do wonders

      As someone with a modded gameboy that I rarely play I feel attacked. The fun part is modding it, actually playing is just a bonus. I only really play it while traveling, which I haven’t been doing often.
