"Gamer", despite being a basic description of someone who plays video games often, has always felt wrong to use or be called.

Doesn't help that it's only really ever used ironically or to mock someone, and if it's not that, it's used to advertise overpriced and mid-tier PC peripherals that could be used as makeshift flashlights.

So much for that dream.

Some sites (Fandom Wikis) are unbearable with ads. Sure, you could pay to remove them, but only because it’s so infuriating to navigate the content when it has multiple ads—some that follow you—INSIDE the content of the articles.

Autoplaying videos, side banners, and scrolling ads are the worst and actively make me want to avoid the sites unless adblock is on.

Fuck Spez

Should have said “LEMMY” instead so the inevitable articles pointed more traffic here instead of give reddit more ad revenue.

Still a great send off though.
