Jeff once again trying to score free internet points by using words like elitism and gatekeeping. Who is my suggestion gatekeeping? Who am I dunking on? I’ve played more Arena than 99,99% of people. Am I dunking on myself? Please enlighten me.

Heard a knock on our door about 630, it was our neighbor’s 8 yo daughter (middle of 3 kids). We babysit them somewhat often so it’s not an uncommon occurrence. Turns out she was in the middle of an intense game of hide and seek and was using us as a next-level hiding spot.
