how would you feel if FB decided you were bad for society and banned your game
One would assume a person in that case wouldn't use Facebook. And they would probably be better off for it.

I'd reflect on it and consider if my game was bad for society. 
and after deciding the game was OK for society, open an twitter account
"Courage; Generosity; Fairness; Honor; In these are the true awards of manly sport."

Well, first I would say it's quite impressive that among the millions of users and billions of pieces of content, that it was that piece that caught their attention. 

I assume I'd be mad. But, I would understand the simple fact that these companies have freedom of association as guaranteed by the first amendment and they are machines of shareholder value, and if publicly blocking my game from distribution helped that, it would be the choice they would make. I wouldn't be happy they did it, but I would not be so entitled as to assume they had to allow me to share that game just because. 

I'd ideally turn to find other ways to distribute. It would be unfortunate since these corporations would not allow me to use their large moneymaking apparatus, but capitalism and the first amendment are the bedrock here. I had ancestors who would suggest we take the means of production, but that's not the way our setup works, for good and ill.

I wouldn't be super happy. But as a millennial, I've been told for years and years by older folks that my generation is too prone to thinking life is fair when it is really not. So I imagine I'd shrug it off and keep at it. It's my personal responsibility to work hard, and I'll do that. 

And in the end, I'd understand that in the marketplace of ideas, there are many outlets. Now, of course, we're talking about a harmless card game focused on college football history. A silly passion to be sure. Nothing really beyond that.

It'll to the next best thing, ineffectually complain and say sometimes gross and sometimes untrue things to one another.

(All this, over a card game. What a country)

It's only harmless if you play it solo.  :96:

Just bought a 32 inch monitor, and discovered it has only HDMI connections.  My old desktop has only VGA output, so I hope I bought the correct adaptor.

We'll see.

If your current computer only has VGA outputs, then it's probably time for you to update and upgrade...
