A game IS just a game you know. And a chair is just a chair. And a pen is just a pen. Unless it has a clock in it and then it's just awesome.Thaius said:My little sister.

By definition, yes, but not meaning. There's a difference. Games are a storytelling art form and/or a serious form of competition. To someone who cares about that, being told it's "just a game" is simply demeaning: the person is basically saying, "Why are you getting worked up about it? It doesn't really mean anything, it's just a game!" See how that could be insulting? You don't tell a football player, "You just throw a ball: don't take it so seriously." It's demeaning to the subject, as well as those that care about it.Sev said:A game IS just a game you know. And a chair is just a chair. And a pen is just a pen.

the thing that gets my panties in a twist is the fact that I'm not allowed to express my anger at home. Whenever I get angry, I need to vocalize it or express it in action like banging my hand on my thigh or something like that. But every time I get a big nuh-uh and that just makes me even more angry.
