Reasons I love #games 

For everyone there is at least one game they would enjoy.
I play grand strategy games for one and a half decade, played shooters in the 90s love indie games with neat mechanics, cool artwork or just nice ideas.
I played Mechwarrior Online exessively in 2015/16 and met the nicest people. We had not much in common than speaking at least a bit of english and playing games.
I met a dozen americans, a scot, a englishman, a czech guy, two french, australians, austrians and one guy from spain. I met an ukrainian who became best buddies with a russian bloke.
Games can change your live when you are a part of an inclusive and cool group of people. They are normal people and you learn that really the most people you will ever meet are nice.
Whatever you like to play I hope you enjoy your time with it. I hope it enriches your life or gives you a new perspective.

A little add on:
I later met an awesome woman in MWO.
Women have a difficult time when in online games so she never was on open coms.

She was and is one of the best mech pilots I ever met. She is one of the top drop commanders I ever worked with.
Why am I saying this? Because while the MWO community is ok, good even, it still has problems with catcalling and shit behaviour towards women, and that has to stop. They just want to play the frigging game. I want to play that frigging game.
Why do I love that woman? Because she is nice.
Thanks for listening. Game on <3
