Remember when someone on TikTok dared to suggest gamers over 30 should retire their controllers? We leapt to the defense of every adult who's ever been shamed for their love of gaming in this no-holds-barred discussion on societal expectations and personal freedom. Our conversation extends far beyond the realm of video games, as we tackle how 'wokeness' has penetrated our daily choices – from whom we love to what we eat. We're dishing out a candid take on the importance of championing individual happiness and standing up against racism, all while navigating the choppy waters of social awareness without drowning in the judgment that often accompanies it.
The word 'woke' has become a battleground of opinions, and we're not shying away from the fray. Casting a critical eye on the contentious nature of woke culture, especially in the Southern U.S., we dissect its impact on everything from African American history education to the motives behind Hollywood's diversity efforts. With echoes of our own experiences, we reflect on the paradox of today's climate of cautious communication, contrasting with the pre-pandemic days of freer expression. We wrap things up by weighing the significance of our online personas in a world where every like, share, and comment can be as permanent as a tattoo on our digital lives. Tune in for an episode that's as thought-provoking as it is revealing, without an ounce of sugar-coating in sight.

I'm from Australia and am what you would call a father who games. I have 5 kids so not as much time to game as I used to. But I still game and stream when I can. So come join me on Twitch in chat as we chill out.
