    Wait, what?

    Who thinks anybody is a nerd for playing anything? Did you time travel from the mid 1990s? What the hell? Civilization 6 and Total War:Warhammer are the top 29 and 30 most played games on Steam right now, Resident Evil 4 is 221 on that list. Stellaris, incidentally, is number 45.

    Maybe you make a habit of giving Civ players wedgies, I don’t know how old you are, but over in the real world that’s not a thing. Mainstream means mainstream, and it’s way more likely that both your mom and your little brother play Civ or Mario Kart than Resident Evil or God of War.

    “Mainstream” doesn’t mean your online friends like it. People who make things “mainstream” don’t post about games online, they just… play them.
