So, while Breezy obviously meant the best and wanted to keep things kosher, he disastrously misread a post of mine late in the last topic and through miscommunication it sorta blew up unintentionally and led to a multi-page thing that had the stink of grossness over it and may have sullied the welcomeness of this topic and the people in it (namely me) to women. To anyone lurking who's reticent about posting: the Giant Bomb topic on Era is an inclusive space. We love everyone, no matter where you're from or who you are, as long as you're not an asshole.
In any case, I'm gonna take a break from here for a few days. I'm not mad about outrage/cancel culture, I'm not worried I'm going to slip up for real, I'm not angry at anyone or anything in particular, I just need a bit of a breather because this shit is weighing on me. I'll see all of y'all in a few.
By the way, DM, I love the new topic format with the Twilight Zone edits! I especially enjoy how you thank yourself [;)] and the Ryan gif. Those giant gummi worms are a disaster of modern science.
