Just your average kind of Luigi.
Friday, I was privileged enough to attend a talk at my University given by Jonathan Safran Foer. For those who don't know, he's an incredible award-winning writer; he's written Everything is Illuminated and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.
He made some incredibly interesting points which apply not only to the Jewish community, but to any community. All of his points dealt with laughter, and its value within a community.
I'd like to bring up one of his points. He discussed (as many people have) the value of laughter as a method to evolve and move past tough times. More specifically, he referred to laughing at one's self.
We, as a Community, are falling apart. Part of this I address in my first post on this matter, and the final part will come in another thread much longer than this one. But for now, I want to bring up the significance of laughing at ourselves. We stay up until the wee hours of night, arguing and bickering, exchanging flames, all for the sake of a game in which we can explosively fart on an electric rat's face.
Smash is a god **** game. For some people, it does go deeper. But I'll be ****ed if people haven't become closed-minded to hell about a god ****ed video game. Let's lighten up. Try new things. Listen to ideas. And, every once in a while, when someone's post enrages you because they suggest something like curry metal bunny brawl as a competitive standard... learn to laugh. Relax before posting.
As I said before, we've had 7 years of an amazing community in smash. Don't let that fall apart.
