Get your balls, pucks, Scrabble boards and packs of cards away from me – all I want is space to be together, ideally with a coffee or a glass of wine, says writer Emily Watkins
I get it, people should come together and socialise rather than play games… I mean, I can kinda see the logic. But, sometimes I just wanna murder aliens. Currently playing Saints Row 4, one of the stupidest games of all time. You can murder people in the streets, but they’re all holograms or aliens. You can’t canonically hurt anyone in this game, as far as I can tell. Well, my character just got punched by another human character for uttering the words “poodle skirt” (IYKYK) (also, Kinzie is awesome).

Watkins is specifically complaining about people playing games socially.
She also isn’t talking about video games. She’s talking about physical sports, card games, parlour games, and pub quizzes.
It’s also absurd ragebait.
