This has nothing to do with the shitstorm (it mostly hit Arrowhead anyway), and I think the review bombing didn’t affect their decision making that much. What I think happened was, Sony saw the massive refunds. They got hit right into the wallet 😩

I wouldn’t think about it too much. People downvote for the strangest reasons. Also OP doesn’t care and didn’t even notice. Which is the best take on votes I think.
I just got ghosted by the girl I was talking to, I want to find another girl to talk to. This girl and I met at the gym, but I don’t want to be the guy that goes to the gym just to meet girls. I mean sure there’s the bar and Tinder, but I want a real relationship. I mean, I guess it’ll come to me.
Well, Tinder doesn’t has the best reputation. Not to shit on the users. Everyone I met through Tinder was super nice and I had a great time during those dates. But the App itself tries to drive you crazy and throw money at it. I don’t know where you’re from, but I’m sure there is a better alternative.
The best advice I can give is: Focus on yourself. Treat yourself good. Learn to love yourself. Then put yourself out there (maybe in one of those pesky bars?) and voilà! You start meeting new people. I cannot stress enough how attractive contentment can be. No one wants a sad lump.

So it seems to be some sort of linguistic peculiarity in that specific group. MMO players tend to be relatively sheltered, so it could have formed organically? This makes sense to me. It’s unlikely, but it sounds better than “let’s make shit up and fuck with him”.
I don’t know how I would handle this. Most people I play with online are even deeper in the spectrum than I am. Do me a favour, the next time they have an conversation, just throw a single punctuation in the chat and see how they react.
Alright. That’s bullshit. Not entirely. But it’s riddled with it. The “k” part, I understand. This can be considered rude and to be honest, it’s my way of saying “whatever dude”.
BUT that’s how I use it. I have met people who use it as a lazy but friendly way of “alright, got it”. So it depends on who uses it and what its intention is supposed to be. You either have to be incredibly nuanced or have to know the person who is using it to properly interpret it. Which your friend kinda doesn’t. I’m not blaming her. I fail at it way too often myself.
The “ending a sentence with a period” on the other hand? My answer would have been “Are you high?!” Seriously, it doesn’t make any sense and it sounds made up.
Edit: Thinking about this makes me even angry ffs.
Shit has actually a strange history to it. At the beginning there was an online group by and for involuntary celibates. It was a place where people could come together and try to process their situation. The loneliness, the depression, etc.
Now comes the M. Night Shyamalan plot twist: The founder was a woman. They came up with „invcel“ as short for involuntary celibates. Which later turned into „incel“ because it sounded better.
So, things were going dandy and that group did some good to help people. After some time she left the group. Just moved on to other projects. With her leaving the site started to (for a lack of better words) fucking degenerate. The whole movement became what we all know and hate today.
During the last ‘election summer’ things went haywire but ultimately nothing meaningful really happened, and not a whole lot really changed as a result of that unrest. This time things are going haywire again, and it seems like something big will happen but people thought that the last time… Would it just be better to...
Stay informed. When you feel like the news make you depressed, or even worse you start doomscrolling, take a break. There is a German word called Weltschmerz. It’s the pain you feel when the world seems to go to shit. It is a depressing form of dissatisfaction. I had this the last time when US and allies withdrew from Afghanistan and we left the people who helped us to die. The pictures of desperate people falling from planes still haunt me to this day. Then Russia invaded Ukraine and I doomscrolled for a couple of weeks.
I am not willing to sacrifice my mental health for this. So I cut news from my feed but I still read them every couple of days. Blissful ignorance can also not be accepted. I think the way I do it is a good compromise.
As you may have guessed, the economic downturn and two world wars sandwiching the decades when motorcycle chariot racing was invented probably wasn’t a great time to introduce the sport. It quickly fizzled out just about as abruptly as it arrived, which is super unfortunate considering how cool it is.
Here are my two cents for you as a beginner (seriously, this made me appreciate the game a lot more):
Find yourself a training partner. Any standard Samurai at the beginning will do. You need to get good at parrying. Yeah I know, I ignored that in everything From Soft before that, including Bloodborne. But in Sekiro it is the difference between “having a blast” and “dying repeatedly until you give up”.
After that you can more or less brute force your way to the top of Ashina Castle. You made it there? Good. Find one of these guys. There is one immediately after the first shrine as soon as you make it into the castle. Give him a name, I named mine Garry. Garry is harder to kill and his attacks come faster and harder. But they are still possible to read. See it as some kind of “advanced parry training”.
Do not dash forward. Do not get greedy. You don’t have to prove anything to anyone. Stay with Garry and train your parry skills. You need hours? Then stay there for hours.
As soon as you can handle Garry with ease, go into the very next room and tackle multiple Garrys. Study that blade. The next boss, at the very top of the castle, is a hard reset for many players. It’s kinda like Father Gascoigne in Bloodborne. He is hard, seemingly unfair even. But if you beat him, you can beat anything in the game.
After that boss you won’t get frustrated when coming across a strong boss, you will get exited!

Why are neurotypicals in charge of making up the social rules? They're not even very good at it.
