    ContraPoints has a great Tangent video about Gamergate (I think you have to be a Patreon subscriber to get access to it, but it’s seriously like $2 or something).

    All I’m getting from this is that something called “tenya” (?) is probably really fun. And now I’m annoyed I’ve never gotten to play!

    E: oh maybe just “tens”. Screw it, whatever it is, deal me in lol

        I’m assuming a dice game based around the number 10 most likely lol, but it is possible (and fun to imagine) that maybe rampant tennis enthusiasm needed to be quelled :) Weirder things have happened. Like a town dancing themselves to death.

    “dise-player, carder”
    Ah, so this is probably some law trying to curb gambling-
    “tenys player” wait, what? Were people betting on tennis matches back in the day or something?

    Gamers truly are the most oppressed class in society 😔

      “Too”? It was ONLY because of gambling. To this day, the gambling industry cringetastically calls itself the “gaming industry”
