Games ruined my life.

Like, i am 80% sure that if my parents didn't give me goddamn video games, i'd probably be a lot better adjusted to society.

Buuuut, I had games and i am a weirdo now, what's done is done.

You'd just have found something else to 'sperg about.

If you went outside more often, maybe it'd be geology or botany instead.

I don't have asperger's.

Why would you think that?

i'm just socially awkward, depressive, anxious and all-around weird.

And not playing videogames would change that how? Social awkwardness is something you can change about yourself and weird can become interesting. You just have to drive yourself there.

And 'sperg is a modern (somewhat offensive) slang for obsessing about things beyond what is expected.

A friend of mine gave a good rule of thumb: Talking about something for less than 15 minutes is passion, more than 15 is obsession.

15 minutes is not very long.

Funny thing about this is that as an actual 'sperger, I don't have anything I sperg about.

Yeah I wouldn't say 'sperg is somewhat offensive, maybe insensitive.

I guess I could say "obsessed to the point of annoying" but that's a lot of words.

Boing-boing. The home for insightful economic analysis

Well. It's OECD doing that analysis.

And boing boing are just linking to a guardian article

And each adds its spin to the analysis.

And while its not entirely fair to say the OECD is pulling shit out of their asses... they pretty much are. They'd have us believe they can predict the economic state of the world in 2050 when they'd have had no shot of projecting the economic state of the world today in 1978.

That's one of the reasons i don't talk to people.

Speaking of Homestuck, 2 weeks ago, i saw a group of homestuck cosplayers walking around in Montreal close to the Palais des Congres, a convention hall.

Except, as i found out later, there wasn't a nerd con in town.

So why were there cosplayers...
