  • It was a really dumb one, though, all based on a misunderstanding of what that calendar represented. We basically reached the end of an era in the Mayan system. Like, we don’t usually think rolling over from 1999 to 2000 would cause the world to actually end (as long as our computer systems aren’t all l abbreviating dates).

    Like, they ran out of rock, so they stopped their calendar there instead of continuing.

    Once lived in a small town with not one, but TWO Hollywood Videos. In like the late 20-teens. Just napkin math numbers, you’d need every household in the town to rent a video twice a week to support both of those just maintaining their leases… Over a decade into the age of streaming dominance.

    There was no way they weren’t doing something shady on the side.




  • Meanwhile, for those of us who want a new game to play…

    This is why AAA sucks. I haven’t been excited about a game release in fucking years. It’s just the same shit they already released over and over again. They “announced” ES VI over 6 years ago. Not a word since then. Which means at least another 2-3 years minimum.






  • When I said “they are not in school yet” I was referring to my Gen A’s specifically. The ones you didn’t get were part of the joke that flew over your head.

    You’d think someone trying to insult others about being able to read would have better reading comprehension skills.

    I would also consider a median age under 10 to be very young in the context of generations.
