About this listen

Electric is feeling real conflicted after tallying up his Overwatch hours… while Scrota just shrugs and queues for another match. In this episode, the Line Steppers crack open gaming culture—talking about the shame, the joy, and the stereotypes that come with being a gamer in adulthood. Is gaming a waste of time or a legit form of connection, creativity, and stress relief? We talk parenting, mental health, rage quits, racism, and whether these virtual worlds are a coping mechanism or just plain fun. Plus: we ask the hard questions… like why is it always “gamers are lazy” but never “capitalism is draining”? 😤
