I do have not too many, but rather diverse friends. There seems nothing that connects them all together. I pondered over this myself. Many, but not all, can be explained with common interest in video games and tech. However, what about the rest. Eventually I found the thing that connects them all: cynicism followed by, melancholy, escapism and satire.
People as diverse as Fedya, Olya, Javier, Tsukasa, Sameer, Ben Yahtzee Croshaw and TrueHellDei all have this skeptical, cynical and satirical outlook on life. This is the one thing that let us connect to each other and appreciate each other's company.
However, what does it mean. The answer is somewhat compelling and consist of many parts. Each of these three terms has to be analyzed separately and then put together.
At first, I wanted to write it all in the same article but very quickly that became too confusing.
So instead, I split these into four main categories and wrote a separate article about each of them and linked them all here:
Hopefully it will help you better understand me and my friends.
