By skyforbes I am a college professor for a living. I grew up in the 90s and started gaming on the SNES and have never stopped since.
I remember when I was a kid hearing about how gaming is a waste of time and worthless.
I remember as a teen hearing how gaming is corrupting the youth and should be banned.
I remember as a young adult how "weird" you are for enjoying playing video games and how it was almost like a social outcast brand.
Now as a college professor in my early 30s I get students of all backgrounds that talk about their favorite games, make speeches about them and connect and find new friends in class to play with. It's not the same world anymore and it's definitely for the better in some ways.
