Okay, but if we’re being honest here...a bunch of kids thinking they’ve hit the jackpot by grabbing a ticket to the Wonka Experience only to get inside and learn it’s a horrifying nightmare is lore accurate.

Your kids’ friend sounds like the world’s lamest Robin Hood.

If you’re not buying your kids the battlepass do you even really love them?

I was wondering if there was a moment in your life when you officially realized you were old, sortof like a landmark or delineating line where you could say “ah yes, I don’t get the youth of today anymore”.

Yeah here’s what I’d use it for

Really sad news for me as a long time Rock Band fan. Granted, I wasn’t buying that much DLC these days but I still kept up with what they were releasing and picked up the occasional song here and there.

Fortnite Festival is just not really it for me as it currently stands. The controller gameplay is just not very…

RB4 kept the rhythm game era going for much longer than I expected back in 2013, so I can’t complain. Still, it’s sad to see the era end for real now. I doubt there will be a Rock Band 5, now that Harmonix is beholden to Epic’s plan for transforming Fortnite into a metaverse. But It’s not like there was a market still…

When I was a kid I was fascinated with the crystal key that Chrysler used for a couple of years. I think it reminded me of the fortress of solitude crystal stuff from the first Superman movie.

It was “Gen Y” for a very long time. Those of us born in the early 80s were constantly told that is what we were.

First, I didn’t say the new tools weren’t good. I said the old tools were easier, in part because the engines they were modding were much simpler.

I would say someone like your dad was a rarity (and very cool), but they should be dubbed Gen-X games, because they were created by Gen-X (John Carmack anyone?) and most popular for that generation.

I came as a young Gen-Xer/old Gen Yer to complain that these were the games I played as a kid but then I remembered it was my dad, the true definition of a baby boomer (born in 1946, almost exactly 9 months after his father returned from Europe), who introduced me to games like Wolfenstein and Doom.  He tapped out of…

I’m a Xennial myself. Born in ‘81. I remember all the GenX stuff, but also was formed by all the Millennial stuff.

There’s a site called JustWatch that tells you where you can stream things, and whether its a subscription, free with ads or to rent. I’m not sure where they get their information, so it may not be 100% correct all the time, but I find it works well enough.

I’ve got a Series S and a Series X, and I have to say I love the S. It ends up getting more playtime due to it’s more convenient location, but the games look just fine on it and the thing is small and cheap. I’m glad MS is sticking with it.

Yep, I’m sure that’s what it was, all these right wing people shooting at their Bud Light just found Dylan Mulvaney to be annoying, no broader bigotry there at all. I’m sure they would have remained fully hinged if Bud Light had made a deal with Elliot Page.

“It must be exhausting to be this scared of trans people all the time. Have a Bud Light” is honestly decent ad copy.

In my experience, angry people need to find things to be angry about otherwise they’d need to address the reasons why they’re angry in the first place and they’re scared of facing that. And that’s exhausting for them and everyone around them.
