The Tri-force of Red Flags: League of Legends, Valorant, and Genshin Impact
When you think of someone who plays video games League of Legends, Valorant, and Genshin Impact, what do you think? It should be a red flag. If they play one or two of these games, then it’s fine.

As a Filipina raised by both sets of grandparents, I learned the ways in which my family interacted with each other. Of course the gossiping was always a given, but jokes, especially told in Tagalog, were much more entertaining to us.
