Excellent. 2 minutes of silence is totally necessary. The Sounds of Silence are magnificent. That was my last blog entry. When I first started at Steemit I really thought we were only allowed to write about programming, crypto or Steem. But there is so much living art here. A friend 25 years younger than me saw me using discord and laughed saying, "You use this?" This is what we use when we game. Now we are using discord to connect worlds of art and culture and understanding.
I'm glad for your Epiphany. I could just say, "Some people like gaming but it can be harmful." But those words don't engage the heart and soul.
I must ask... Which game were you playing?
Great comment @mineopoly. I've been playing a lot of Splatoon 2 for the Nintendo Switch. It's a really fun "family-friendly" shooter. Your a squid-kid and you use weapons that fire ink. It's really creative and well made. I have some friends that I play with online so I've been really enjoying it.
That is funny about Discord. Actually, I was surprised when I started Steemit that people used it, because yeah it's traditionally used by gamers. You know, it is pretty surprising how much variety there is on Steemit. Definitely a lot of it is crypto/programming related, but there's a lot of vibrant niches here. They will only expand as more people come join our thriving co-immunity!
Thanks for answering. Splatoon 2 sounds like a riot. I asked to see what inspired you and also bc my kids are getting into the computer now.
