Yeah, makes sense. Like, lots of folks have generally forgotten how to be civil. They've forgotten how to "be excellent to each other". A difference of opinion now means you hate or fear something. People also act like their opinion, is absolute fact. Calm down people, be civil. 

Friends, yeah, if I ever actually spoke up about how I feel about the world around me, half of my friends would instantly hate me. Someone I know on a Zoom call once said, If I actually spoke up, I would probably blow minds. Yeah I would. LOL

I did pay for them a few days ago, heard nothing back yet, but I don't necessarily mind. I'm in no rush. I just feel like, after years of playing some of those games, but never having them on my own BBS, mostly because I couldn't afford it, I decided now I probably should pay for it.
