She hates video games. She occasionally tells me to give them up, because games are only for kids, and I'm too old.

Which is a large part of why I'm confused about her asking me that question.

It's weird when she hovers over my shoulder to watch me play games. Her comments are annoying.

Dear goodness. :-X
This is more of a lie in the details.

It's funny, because she is aware of the ratings system. Not that it ever changed whether she let me get a game or not.

Though of all the things I "outgrew", videogames were the only things she didn't take off of me and throw away.

Clearly she just desperately wants to be a gamer herself, but is too ashamed to admit to that desire and instead hides it beneath a cover of insults and vitriol. You need to finally make her the awesome videogame she's been waiting for, one that lets her put aside her preconceptions. :P

My mom asked me how the game I'm making is coming along.

I'm not making any games, and I have never attempted to. I don't know why she thought I was.

That, or she's mistaken DF for programming. They're both arcane and full of funny symbols, after all.

Holy crap, why did I not start watching One Punch Man earlier? This is the best thing.

Oh dear goodness.

I didn't understand BlackFlyme's post due to that lacking info but...when you say it's DF: well. I can understand it easily :p

But really. People assume that is learning how to code or program a game? Interesting.

No, she knows (somewhat) what DF is.

She responded the same way she responds to all other games: "that's stupid", "that's not a real game", or "how is that a game?"

Doesn't matter if its sports or racing, shooters or strategy, all games are stupid or pointless.

She's seen me modding DF, and often assumed it was my homework.

Taking this.

My mother understood DF when I explained it to her.
Perhaps too well, in fact- she used to tell me to stop playing it so much because it was "making me crazy". :o

I sometimes check the Moderation Log, cause it's funny to see what people get banned for, like "Mod sassing" and "Repeatedly being creepy", but seeing GWG get muted AGAIN is more than a little surprising and ruins the mood.

I'm a bit surprised that gogis isn't on there, but then again, probably better to not give that kind of person (that gogis was) bragging rights for being on a banned list.
The mod list slowly empties, so he might have been banned before.

This thread made me go WTF.

Wait, why would GWG get muted? Because he posts too much and breaks the server?

Overposting isn't a mod-able(?) offense. It's the words you say; if in anger and if it borders on insult and spite and hate...yeah. Though I believe it was how he argued that got that :-\

Searching my username predictably turns up a lot of unrelated nonsense.
Also the first image result was

As if I didn't have enough mental scarring already. :-\

But at least it also came up with this:

That restored a bit of faith in humanity.

So I'm trying to make an account for something called "UPlay" (never heard of it before today, need it for some kind of game) and the username "mastahcheese" is taken.

...who the frick uses this name other than me?

*googles own username*

Ha! I knew it! I'm the only Cmega3!
I'm a unique little snowflake~
I've at least once encountered a thing where "GUNINANRUNIN" was already taken, which blew my socks off. "GUNIN" is nearly always taken when there are really low character limits.
