minus-squareUriel238 [all pronouns]@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-21 day agoI know at least two who are in my coven / crew who play MMOs. I don’t like MMOs myself, but I’m way neurodivergent and do a lot of single-player and small-group co-op. I think I steered away from pub games around the rise of gamergate and the alt-right. Folks got scary.
