lol not only would my dad not know what deus ex means but he’d probably think common idiom was some kinda fancy uppity city boy way of calling him stupid.

“kids are stupid. They can’t play a terrible game. Back in my day our games were ugly and hard and read like poorly translated stereo instructions. Games today are crap.”
