They really are just horrible at family. In my own family, the boomers do nothing but bicker over stupid shit constantly, judge everyone else, gossip, it’s horrible. All have broken up their lives and immediate families often multiple times. Within my family, this isn’t a problem at all with the older or younger generation, just the boomers. When the boomers talk about family, what they mean is “how will others serve me for the privilege of being related to me?”

parents don't realise that unwittingly they can push their own anxieties onto their children

Yeah, I think I got a lot of my outlook on finances and spending from seeing my parents struggle a lot of the time not because they were broke, but because they were borrowing. Life was better before I was a teenager and we were just poor really. So, I guess in a way it's a positive, but not necessarily everyone will take it that way. I'm just a people watching observer that sponges it all up. It's not even something I do consciously, but if I'm around friends and family, I learn a lot that they think I'd never notice.

employee resource groups

Yeah, that's their internal secret code word. I spent many years at a big corporate until earlier this year. They were a constant barrage of employee resource groups for every lefty coddle group: retards, blacks, asians, American indians, buttsex enthusiasts, "womxn" (yes they used that), Indian indians, latinx (yes the x again), etc. Literally everyone had a group except straight white men.

Went into it expecting it was just “ahh my parents like the orange man!” I wasn’t wrong, but holy crap did it go so much further. It’s a damn book, and I had to just skim the second half. I’m starting to think it’s fiction being that it hits every lefty talking point so well.

I can relate to a strict church experience not being great either, because I grew up in that. Not that it’s bad for being strict, but that a teenager that grows up in it from the beginning never has the opportunity to really question and understand why it is they believe beyond their parents told them to. Ask about things, and just like the article says at best they get mad and spit a bunch of verses at you. Also often a bit of church of the Pharisees, meaning rules, technicalities, and hypocrisy. So yeah, when these people get sent to places like college where they are attacked from all sides, their defense sucks, because they never understood what they believe to begin with.

I couldn't care less either way about the Jews, all that noticing BS, etc., so I'm not sure what you're going on about other than to be deliberately obtuse.

My thoughts on the role of women come directly from the Christian bible, often the New Testament. In this case where they are told to be quiet in church and ask their husbands about it at home. Whether or not it's related to any Muslim rags is coincidence at best and plagiarism at worst.

Have you tried the remake by chance? I almost bought it for my Switch a couple years ago.

I may just download a ROM of the original and see, PS2 emulator is not a problem.

Yeah, you're right. I had to hold back telling my cousin, I think around 13 at the time, he sounded like a tranny. We joke about the insanity of trannies all the time, but he was really self conscious about his voice then.

Yeah I often forget Tetris when someone asks me something like "what's your all time favorite game." It's Tetris, and very little is even close. There's no other game I've played since my age was in the single digits and can pick up today and be interested. Doom is about the only other thing like that although I was a bit older when it came out. It doesn't have much story either.

Yes, this. Zeldas and Sonics exist as a series because they "hey you liked Zelda 1, how about Zelda 2" for marketing and name recognition. It was never intended to be anything more than that then some crazy people had to act like it mattered. Want deep lore? Go read Tolkien books.

Yeah, I could agree with that, I could get immersed (still hate using that term) in a game with totally zero story, like Tetris. Meaning that I'm losing track of time.

I just always saw the normies use that term, "oh I feel so immersed play <generic Sony 3rd party game> because I just felt so lesbian while I was playing it and it made me cry"

I really couldn't care less about graphical fidelity myself. It can be part of what I like about the game that adds to the fun, but so many games focus on photorealism and forget everything else.

In the AAA realm, yes to both. Exclusions to the story part for the GTAs and CoD of the world that exist to separate idiots from every dollar they have. Everything else in AAA, they demand some intense story that makes them cry with writing that combines a B movie with a little kids TV show and graphics that give them "immersion" (a stupid term).

Sub-AAA gets a bit of a pass on both, depending on what the game is targeting. There are way too many that are put together by artists that go all in on a shit story and have shit graphics and gameplay.

I don't understand any of it. Overpriced pre orders, cosmetics, pay to win, almost any of the modern tactics. They all seem to make a TON of money though.

I'm curious the trend you think you're seeing. I would assume before children, but I do recall seeing a couple examples of after they had kids. I don't see how having kids don't give them any sort of grounding to the real world, but these are the same people that kill or mutilate their kids and I don't understand that either.

That and well if the tweet is correct people stupid enough to give Ubisoft $110. Then probably bitching they can't pay their bills and need communism.

Ubisoft said they will give players who had to start over a trinket for their ship

The golden dildo they used to fuck them in the ass. Except anyone dumb enough to be playing that game right now probably enjoy it.

I tried to tell a friend a decade ago, if you're going to college and you're not already set on something super employable (medicine, engineering, etc), then just get a business degree. No place that is requiring of a degree will ever look negatively at that route unless your job requires the degree as part of licensure, etc.

I don't think anyone cared about my degree after even less time than I took to get it. They just check off a box that you have one. I'm more of a consultant now, and yeah, it's totally meaningless at this point.

It was such a blessing I happened to steer out of development when I was younger, I would have hated the modern day being nothing but a PM. Not that I didn't spend 10 years of my life being basically that anyway, but at least not for outsourced Indians.

I think I saw someone else comment that autists tend to fall for gender politics because they know they don't fit in and seek gender stuff as an avenue to be normal. I believe it for sure. In a way I blame the upbringing of modern functioning autists. My age, functioning autists would have been thrown in the world and told to figure it out, where as now they are coddled about how special needs they are constantly.

But didn't you know! A trans woman and a woman are lesbian couples and can make a baby! Trans. Women. Are. Real. Women.

I've made pretty clear to the very short list of friends that I actually care about that there's a few lines I will not cross. Mainly trannyism and baby murder but a few smaller things too. Not that I'd hate them, but I'm not going to ever support them with it. Luckily most of my friends are far beyond the crazy in their lives so I guess my only real concern is my nephews.

I might try it, but I haven't seen for sure about costs, p2w elements, etc. I haven't really researched to be fair.

If it ends up like other MOBA with a really strong autist favoring meta, I will not like it though.

He corrects himself the next word after they cut it off too. So not only are they petty, they are manipulative.

For their preferred people, they can say truintsernadpreussue and that's great or "It is time to do what we have been doing and that time is every day" and be called a great orator.

I put it on my wishlist, will give it a shot once the fall gets here. I’m too busy for much gaming right now. I agree though, I’m not usually into roguelikes for similar reason, I’d love to see one that would give me some real and understandable character development potential, and not “choose your random shit” this run or just getting crushed with no idea where to go.

I assume they don’t have guns there.

I do think there's a streak of insanity in those that go these lengths to celebrate a defeated leader and regime. Still, what I see here is people interacting with each other as civilized humans and not animals.

is allowed to go ahead

The part they will never understand, this must be allowed to go ahead and is a cornerstone of true free speech. They aren't damaging anything. They aren't closing off streets. They aren't being aggressive. The worst than can come of this is some hurt feelings, and that's not real injury.

The Brazilian government stands to lose more by blocking it than X stands to lose. Maybe not financially, but as an eye opener to the people. Then you just see if the people there will do anything about it or not.
