Born in the Eighties
Man, according to that guy on youtube that has a really slick goatee, I need to have my gamer card revoked due to my infection with the woke mind virus. Sheesh. I thought I was a real gamer, but I guess not. Wokesters like us cannot be true gamers, even if we put over 50 hours a week into Morrowind. Episode image adapted from photo by Tima Miroshnichenko:
