When you hate being right yet it doesn’t bug you
==============================================================
It’s like I finally saw Kepo’s ‘true side’ of not really being as nice, mainly him (again) not understanding why I’m the way I am, and even taking offense to it. It all came from watching him on Twitch playing Fortnite and later commenting that I agree the guy he was shooting should’ve died, and it’s like “dude, we should totally play”.
I said “I don’t really play Fortnite, sorry.” But thinking he’d ask ‘why’, I told him the reasoning why. Maybe I shouldn’t but someone who would be all “ah well I’d just thought I ask. You don’t have to” would be alright with my decision.
He’s not that kind of someone. Not really feeling offensive mind you, but
just “..why, though?” He defends the game, not bothered with the fact kids ruined it with
their ‘flossing’ and “WE LIKE FORTNITE!! WE LIKE FORTNITE!!” crap. But what he really was unsure of is why I hate Epic Games. Because they’re trying to take over Steam by taking away good games like Borderlands. He though believes “that’s not their
fault, that would be on the publisher”. And he.. is sadly right. I wanted to join the masses who are all “down with Epic Store”, and.. well, I won’t be saying anymore as this is
already Games Blog territory.
Still though, he could’ve handled that a lot better (as in accepting my opinion). But instead of bringing that up, I just kept quiet like I usually do. Shutting up and moving on usually ends an argument you can’t win (and you know saying more would make things worse). But really, I don’t care if he stops talking to me after this point.

So let me get to what I mean about the segment. Actually, if you were paying attention, you may had already seen it. But if not, let me help refresh your memory;
Wanting me to play games with you = make or break moment in a potential relationship. It’s like politics or religion. It’s such a touchy subject. And it can destroy friendships. Look what happened when it came to Trump (and the effects are still happening). And sadly it seems to have happened again, all because I don’t like Fortnite and Epic Games (not from personal reasons, I’m siding with media). Yes.. yes it’s a bias opinion. But it’s MY opinion.
And he couldn’t just accept my opinion (why I take everything so seriously) and move
on.
I mean…I get Kepo. He goes with the flow and is chill. I have no problem with these kind of people. Hell, I have no problem with anyone. It’s just.. the people that seem to take offense on how I live my life. It’s the second time Kepo has done this to me, and it
feels very toxic.
These are the people that I (obviously) stay away from (why I don’t talk about who I
am IRL), and if it happens again.. I’m done talking to him (as that’ll be Strike 3). I don’t need this toxicity in my life. Yet I’m having my doubts if he’ll ever talk to me the way he has been, and that is perfectly fine with me. Pretty sure he’ll need time for ‘me to regain his trust’.
Honestly I should just unfriend and block him, but I will give him one last chance. As afterall, it wasn’t fully his fault. He just didn’t understand.
EDIT: I had a very long ‘talk’ with him (the next day) that was expected to be quite ‘okay there we go. Time to unfriend’, but at the end I feel we’re even closer as friends. I’m
glad, because I got a lot of things wrong about him. And now we finally understand ourselves. As much as I feel what he was saying as ‘toxic’, actually wasn’t. It was… just
me, overreacting (as usual).
He wasn’t trying to shove his opinion about the game or the Epic Store in my face. He wasn’t disrespecting my opinion. …He was only confused. That’s all.
But we needed that talk, to get this off our chests. Hopefully we’re still friends.

Dutch is an absolute sweetie
==============================================================
I know I said this about Kepo and look what happened, and the same could happen here. But it’s slightly different, as DutchPrimagen (aka Snowflake) has a BF. Plus, this is the same guy that has a ‘weee’ bit of a speech impairment. He speaks English, but I can barely understand him. Funny thing is I can hear him better when he’s surprised about something. It’s just something about his mic that makes it difficult.
But there are certain words I can make out, like “love”, “cutie”, and other affectionate words like that. Now Dutch has always been a sweetie, but what happened last night was really sweet.
