I love when gamers are open about their games and enjoy sharing them. Too many groups hoard knowledge and gatekeep, you're not a true player, that sort of thing. It's way more fun to show your favorite game to your friend and help them, now you have two people who like it!
and remember, everybody: no spoilers!
I love the feeling of discovering something for the first time, and would never take that away from anyone. there are so many games I would gladly have wiped from my memory so I could get that feeling back.
I can't parse the first sentence. Might be a morning thing. Can somebody help?
me, watching a friend play a game (that i play) for the first time
"I am watching my friend play a game that I like. She is playing it for the first time!"
Her mouth is a 'play' icon. That is all.
Friend proceeds to get insanely rare drops that you haven't even seen yourself
*internal screaming*
I know it's very likely innocent
But "fren" will always be a huge red flag parade for me
What do you meaaan? I have been using it innocently only, why would it be non innocent? Plz dont take fren from me, it sounds so cute.
If the word fren is not fren, why is it fren-shaped?
Don't worry. The common meaning is friend. Everyone knows. Just like smol snek etc.
There are a lot of words that also have a bad meaning. A lot depends on context.
Did everyone responding to you miss the FrenWorld drama at Reddit a few years back? It was thinly-veiled racism disguised as friendly comics. It was finally banned for both that and glorifying violence.
Ikr, people clearly have short memories.
I'm sorry that people don't like it, but it is what it is; denial of this only helps the fuckos using it that way
I can assure you its use is innocent, here.
But after looking up I can understand your concern. It seems to be one of those otherwise innocuous phrases that's been co-opted by miscreants.
