This is so cool. I don’t own this game yet, but when I do I’ll for sure seek out this cellar. Anyone who has watched someone they love fall victim to Alzheimer’s knows how heartbreaking it is to watch their entire self slowly fade away.

I’m not as old as you. I could have probably fathered a child in 1996, but it wasn’t in the cards at 13. 

I don’t know if I believe that to be true. If we look at another example, when vinyl was at its lowest level of popularity some companies still produced turntables to satisfy the small market niche that was still out there. 

Physical media doesn’t have to clutter up a room in your house. I have a very large CD collection as well as a modest Blu Ray/DVD collection. I did get sick of the space all of this took up. I bought a couple of those huge 300 CD binders, moved everything into it from their original cases, and put the original cases…

I think a lot of people fear those things will somehow be taken away from them at some point. I’ve purchased a few movies digitally, but if I’m going to buy a movie I still prefer it to be on a disc. I don’t share that fear, but for me it’s an ease of access issue. If I’m having internet issues I can still play a…

“I genuinely feel that most people at this point just don’t care about ownership.”

This is a bit dated, but gives you an idea of how much of their revenue comes from different broad product categories. Of course revenue doesn’t tell us the profit margin of each category. Before I googled it I thought appliances would make up a bigger share, as that’s something that many people, myself included,…

One of mine is dead!

Are you an American? If so I find this to be surprising. 

You’re a little older than I am, but I think we are close enough to relate. My recent moment at work came from a movie reference. A younger colleague pointed something out to me, and I said, “that makes me think of x scene in Tommy Boy”. He looked at me with a blank face and asked, “what’s Tommy Boy?” I was really…

I don’t really get out to visit breweries very often these days, so I can’t really say. I can also say I’ve never tried a had seltzer, I’m just not part of their intended audience. 

I was born in ‘83, squarely in the Millennial camp. Yeah, I’m barely in my 40's, but I’m in my 40's none the less. 

I’m not, but my cultural tastes are decidedly more Gen X and even Boomer than they are millennial. I debated on mentioning this, but you’re only 2 years younger than my dad. I will say that my parents were (obviously) very young when I was born. My dad is also a gamer, young at heart I guess. 

I’m actually an elder millennial. Yes, we are in our 40's now. I think your point still stands though. 

This is fake news. There are plenty of craft beers around the 5% range, which is typical of a big brand beer. 

It probably depends on where you live and the strength of the beer you are buying. I typically drink craft beers in the 5-6.5% range, and 6 packs of 12oz bottles go for around $12 these days. I honestly don’t know how that compares to something like Budweiser because I never look. 

I hate your hard seltzers, as they’ve noticeably reduced the beer selection in my regular grocery store :) . I’ve been a craft beer drinker for about 20 years. When I first got into it the selection in grocery stores was abysmal. It noticeably improved to the point where I rarely visited the local craft beer store…

I 100% agree with this. I do the vast majority of my beer drinking at home, but it’s the same way in craft beer stores. I occasionally enjoy a hoppy offering, but my tastes tend more towards the balanced (amber ale), malty (porters/stouts), and crisp (German pilsner) sides. I especially seek out stouts in the…

I’m with you on that. I did that a whole lot with both BotW and TotK. I figure if I’m not enjoying myself, what’s the point? 

I don’t think anyone is surprised by this. I still buy CDs and Blu-Rays, but I realize that I’m in the minority. I hope there continues to be enough of niche audience to keep them alive for purchasing online, but only time will tell. As far as games go, I would bet that Best Buy will continue selling them as long as…
