Excellent post, Ash! It makes me want to reflect on the best vehicle/drives I’ve enjoyed in games and the soundtracks that I would probably listen to during those moments.

Well, my drink just made a trip through my nose.... I shouldn’t have laughed that hard at that, but it is so true.

I think my parents got most of their ideas about gaming from that movie The Wizard.

(Also from LA originally) Dude, our entire neighborhood’s way of life changed after the Night Stalker killings and rapes.

My parents’ views definitely did a little ebb and flow over the years, but you better believe that shit really started to breakdown once dial-up internet became a thing here in ol’ rural America. I don’t think my parents received a phone call while I was still living in the house for the last three years of high…

When I was six my father bought me Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards so that *I could play it. I’d expand on my parents’ feelings, but I think that sums it up.

Damn, dude - you’ve been resonating a lot today!

Yeah, but where do you park it?

If you say “feet” two more times, Quentin Tarantino will appear behind you in the mirror.

I Couldn’t agree more. I have a feeling this comment section will mirror Luke’s article about Microsoft’s chatbots. I’d love to hear how these research projects are regulated and by whom. I am not saying that either technology would definitely be inherently wrong, but blindly trusting a company to develop these…

A confidant that a person could talk to, which could potentially provide feedback or opinions based on logic and would be unhindered by impulsive, emotional-based thinking? Oh yeah, you could be on to something, sir...
