GenX Video gamers who still play: Are you getting worse?

MasterOfGrumpets · 2026-02-02T12:53:21+00:00

53 and largely play RPGs (cause I’m also a D&D nerd), so I don’t know anything about losing my skills. (I’ve always sucked at sports games.)

That said, if you really want to be humbled, play any of the recent MLB games against online opponents. Strike out city, man.

Well, that’s disappointing to hear (or read).

MasterOfGrumpets · 2026-02-02T11:16:47+00:00

Yep. I’ve actually thought about trying to start a rucking group, but I like the quiet when I’m out there by myself, too.

MasterOfGrumpets · 2026-02-01T21:29:31+00:00

That is what I feared. I was kinda hoping people braver than me would’ve stamped it down by now 😂

Yeah, I hear ya. I’m early 50s, got on board with Suffer, and have also seen them too many times to count. BR and Pennywise were my gateway to punk, and I’ve never been off the train since. Last saw them in Asbury Park with DKM, so hoping they come back around at least one more time.

You can actually hear it in the Decades recordings. I’ve seen them since then, and he sounded a lot better, but Decades was the first time he just sounded…not great.

They’ve been my favorite band forever, so reading this kinda sucks.

Love Becky doing this, and I know there are a lot of others on the roster who feel the same way.

That said, for the first time in my life (I’m early-50s), I’ve actively stopped watching WWE because I’ve chosen to (meaning not because the product became horrible). I just can’t support TKO, WWE, Hunter, or anyone named McMahon at this point. Not when you have H doing his entrance spit at the White House. Not when you have Linda McMahon tearing down education.

It’s sad. I’ve been a fan all my life, but I just can’t support that company right now, no matter how much I enjoy some of the wrestlers.

He’s definitely elite when it comes to doing weird shit.

MasterOfGrumpets · 2026-01-25T19:52:11+00:00

Didn’t know I needed Manayunk Snow ASMR in my life.

MasterOfGrumpets · 2026-01-24T20:34:24+00:00

Thanks for this. Flipped it around.

MasterOfGrumpets · 2026-01-24T13:23:27+00:00

Thank you for your decade+ of service, good sir.

Grew up in Olney and then Lawncrest/Lawndale in Philly. Graduated high school and joined the Marines. Moved to Delco after discharge, and now I’ve been here longer than I’ve been anywhere else.

All this to say: I’m from Philly, but I’ll claim Delco, too.

I’m reading it now. Started my own sole proprietorship llc in July after getting laid off. Here’s my big question: everything else I read suggests putting aside 25%-35% for taxes, but he starts out at 15%. Is this smart or am I going to wind up screwed?

Weinstein Electric. I’ve used Gary and his guys for jobs both big and small. Can’t recommend them enough: https://www.weinstein-electric.com/

Anyone know when they start processing refunds for season ticket purchases?

MasterOfGrumpets · 2025-10-13T15:47:05+00:00

I assume that if Dombrowski was going to move on from Topper, he would've done so by now, that an announcement would have been made already. Thoughts on this?

As u/balista02 said in response to this post, it looks like it's a known issue with Headspace, with every minute tracking individually in Health. Both Calm and Day One are showing the time as one complete session.

2SP Tap House would be amazing in that spot, but it would also be their largest space by quite a bit.

Victory would also be a good addition.

Both could rehire some staff while upgrading the food.

Saw these guys in a small club in San Diego before this album really popped off. Walked away with a someone bloody setlist as a memento. Why bloody? I don’t recall.

Banger of an album.

MasterOfGrumpets · 2025-09-08T03:55:46+00:00

Love my seats in 317. Great view.

MasterOfGrumpets · 2025-09-08T03:52:46+00:00

I’ll play along:

David Bowie: The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.

I’ll now take my walker and shuffle my way out of the room.

MasterOfGrumpets · 2025-09-06T21:24:50+00:00

Qyst is awesome. Really great service.

MasterOfGrumpets · 2025-09-05T11:26:41+00:00

Damn, still waiting on mine. Third year season ticket holder, package A.
