We were talking about and I'll just plug it because I think it's a phenomenal movie. And John is the one that actually turned us on to this. But there is a movie called The Remarkable Life of Ebeling. that focuses on somebody that is handicapped and found kind of their friendship and life through that game.
And so highly recommend people check that out, especially if you want a little bit of a tearjerker there too. You know, but this is one of those things as a parent, My kids play online games, and they have met some really cool people.
Our community that we have, I mean, we just had a Marvel Rivals night where we had 28 people playing Marvel Rivals together in these fun 6v6 matches, and it was just the best time. That sounds awesome. It was fantastic. You should come join us because it really is a good time.
Oh, absolutely. And so it's one of those things where I think as gamers, we have made friendships. I know we have just through this podcast and playing games with people. We've met some people that I consider very good friends, even though we've never met each other in real life. And there's the thinking that...
Not that this would happen, but hey, if the internet goes away, you don't have that friendship anymore. So it's this false friendship, so to speak. And this is a tough one, because as a dad, there is the part of me that says, hey, kids, you should have real life friends. And of course, my kids have online friends as well.
And even for me, somebody that's been a gamer my whole life, I still struggle with this a important as your real life friends. And I know that objectively I can look at that and kind of go, hey, that's not necessarily the case. But I'd love this topic because I think it's one that is still, there's a lot of people that aren't sure about that. So what are your thoughts on that? I have thoughts.
Oh, good. All right.
That is this is awesome. I literally got chill bumps like listening to this because it's really cool to hear like this kind of laid out, you know, because again, you know, I've met some incredible people. I know Ryan has online. I'm sure like you have as well. But it's really neat to think about when you're playing games with people.
And like I said, you know, it's weird how sometimes we can just make a connection with a random stranger. Like I love Rocket League. You know, and I was playing a random match twos and I met this guy that we just oddly in Rocket League hit it off where it was like we were just in sync and we were chatting after the match. And it was like, there's just this obvious thing there.
But I've never taken the time to consider that you meet such a broader range of people. that all have something to offer. You are exposed to people that you probably, like you said, would not meet in the bonding part. And again, these aren't people that you can say, hey, come help me install my dishwasher, but that you can reach out to.
And I mean, we've had plenty of those where it's like, hey, I'm having a rough day. I just need somebody to chat with. Or can you hop in and just play some games with me? I need to blow off some steam or something like that. So it's really cool to kind of have that like just kind of put forward and say, I think sometimes people don't take a step back and think about that kind of stuff.
So, yeah, I love it, man. Like that makes it's a really neat point.
Right.
I I'm a, I'm an older gentleman. I am one of those people that think that you absolutely should seek out people with different opinions than yourself too, because I think that helps us grow and understand people and you know, old guy shaking his fist at the clouds kind of thing. I feel like that's something that's dying.
And honestly, like in our modern society, I feel like people just want to go to opposite ends and nobody wants to communicate in the middle and try to figure out why people think the way that they do or try to learn from that interaction. It's, you know, it's something that sadly we see and people want to shout their opinions.
And then it's become this, if you have a different opinion than me, I just, I don't like you.
Instead of the, well, why do you have this opinion? And let's try to figure this out. Maybe we both get to learn something out of this too. Yeah.
Yeah, I think there's something to be said, too, for it's it's it's a lot easier to like you said, the barrier of entry, that social awkwardness. I mean, I know that there's a lot of people that struggle with, you know, feeling like they're socially awkward. And in their minds, it's I can't go up and approach this stranger and start talking to them.
Yeah. Yeah. So I really like that, that it is just an easier kind of barrier to entry. It's a little bit easier to put that virtual foot forward to start these relationships. It's low risk is a way to look at it. Yeah. Yeah. All right, we got to move on. As cool as I think this topic is, man, let's move on.
Jamie's learned already.
