The void filled

It's interesting, I actually get to talk to people, in person, about video games. Up until this point video games had been a secret passion i tried to keep to myself.

I've rewritten this next paragraph many times. Talking about the old town is strange, and hard. How do i articulate my feelings of alienation without appearing to have a superiority complex? In fact I've written in the past how I feel bellow average, at least academically, so hopefully i don't come off has smug.

I felt very deeply that the "electronics are for weird nerds" philosophy was ingrained in the culture there. This had a large effect on me which has almost completely evaporated after moving here (traces remain with my family). The result is lively discussions with little being held back, and it's honestly staggering to me.

I don't define myself by video games of course, that's silly, but it's an insanely interesting medium that i could talk about for hours, and I finally get that chance.
