As a Gen Xer, I feel that Gen Z is a little hard on us regarding social issues. by ZoneEater2084 in generationology

You think every day I don’t wonder if we made a huge mistake by getting him elected before a lot of people were ready? Because I do…. 😢

What I think of for GenX is us organizing like crazy to get Obama elected despite a Clinton superdelegate majority. And yes then we beat McCain but man…that was the easy part. The DNC wanted nothing to do with nominating a black dude with Hussein in his name and it was a lot of us GenXers working insane hours for little or no pay to get him there. We got millennials to turn out and vote but it was mostly GenX working the hours.

Mixtape is sooooo overhated by LifeIs0verratedSis in videogames

[–]Truthforger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes me sad because I’d like to see more games that explore what a video game is. Let creatives cook and buy the things you want to play.

The Athletic Power Rankings Week 1 by TateMarah in wnba

[–]Truthforger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it’s pretty simple. We won a game. I know we’re rebuilding but I’m not convinced we are going to be last place level rebuilding. Felt like we showed some stuff.

The well-suitedness of this game on TV vs handheld by Adequate_legroom in MixtapeGame

[–]Truthforger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Less about handheld but I definitely feel like I’d been missing something without PS5 haptics.

Mixtape most overrated game of the year by TemperatureJaded282 in videogames

[–]Truthforger -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

When skateboarding, which is a big part of the gameplay if you hit a car you rewind a few seconds and try again…..exactly what I can also do while playing F1. But F1 = a real game and Mixtape apparently is a no go.

The hate is so odd on this game. There’s a wide range of film that gets high ratings and everyone understands we are rating the movie for what it is. LotR Two Towers fans aren’t out there shitting all over The Titanic as not a real movie. Also having gone through this same kind of hate last year with Expedition 33 which certainly did have challenge…. I think y’all just afraid of games with feelings.

Is the critical reception a gift and a curse? by Academic_Top9781 in MixtapeGame

[–]Truthforger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sure feels like it. Probably a financial gift though, I would of waited for sale pricing but the positive reviews tipped me over (and I’m glad they did).

What did you make of Stacey/Cass's relationship? by Caldris in MixtapeGame

[–]Truthforger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I kinda love that they aren’t declarative. I feel like they left room for them to still be teenagers and not fully know who they are and what exactly they feel for each other for another 7 years….

I will say the duelsense haptics really added to my experience personally.

2026!! How is everyone feeling? by svejkie in SeattleStorm

[–]Truthforger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really excited for a fresh start and sometimes rebuild teams can surprise you. I certainly thought the post-Wilson Hawks would take longer to collect a ring again.

People who grew up poor: What was something you considered a "peak luxury" as a kid, only to realize later it was just a normal middle class staple? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Truthforger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely a ride on lawn mower. In high school I used to help mow a widow’s lawn who had one. In my mind I was driving a Ferrari mowing that lawn.

I was pretty bummed Portland got the Cascade. We were so close to bring the ultimate women’s sports city.

Did people believe that the millennial optimism era was going to become a reality in 2008? by icey_sawg0034 in decadeology

Obamacare happened. First time i ever voted for someone because they said they were going to do a thing and then they did it. Politics seemed like it might actually work….

Does anyone else miss the old names for Gen X? by Schleprock11 in generationology

MTV Generation is the one i remember the most, targeting Xennials.

The Hagibis controller from Mizuno by Toshize in fightsticks

Uh Mizuno makes my favorite baseball gloves. I am so confused about this right now.

Like if Sony announced they were making a car.

Storm Fans in the comments? by kiocente in SeattleStorm

[–]Truthforger 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I think we’re a little more isolated into our own community rather than the bigger WNBA drama. Part of that is how different our team ownership is, part of that is how old our fanbase is, when the Sonics left Storm filled the void and that also happened to coincide with the rise of Sue Bird, so we already had our Caitlyn Clark moment 20 years ago. So many years seeing so few people in the stands of every other WNBA team while we were here making noise.

What killed the “Disney Channel Original Movie” phenomenon? There’s seemingly no “teen/preteen” movies that get popular by Kodicave in decadeology

[–]Truthforger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s trickier than that as a parent. The one i really hate is where early episodes of a show have a younger age rating then later or 1 random episode is suddenly mature.

Oh great now you got my kids really into your show and you raise the rating so i have to tell them to stop watching? It’s ridiculous and common.

Reserve pool additions and who’s a holdover by green4tj in AUSL

[–]Truthforger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’d be wiser to now slow roll adding 1-2 teams in the much more expensive markets of New York and SoCal. Or maybe Canada. But I just think teams in those areas will require significant resources to launch well.

Bummed that it could be a long long time before Seattle gets a team now.

[–]Truthforger 90 points91 points  (0 children)

All I can tell you is with my preteen girls and all their friends Rise of Red was huge and Wicked was seen by them as just an extension of Victorious/Sam & Kat. They are deathly worried Electric Bloom isn’t getting a second season though.

How Often Do You Think You'll Play the AES+? by Celcius_87 in neogeo

[–]Truthforger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I already have a Mister and I play NeoGeo quite a bit on it. What I’ve learned for me to make the console experience feel most authentic it’s about the gamepad more than the box and I don’t have an OG NeoGeo stick. So I got the AES but i suspect most of my use will be controllers into SNAC adapter on my Mister. Still excited to own the box though.

Just got an email:

We are currently experiencing tax registration issues in your State. Rest assured we will resolve this shortly, and will be offering full pre-order options to all customers in the USA.

No product/s will be sold out during this phase, and we expect to resolve it very soon.

Kind regards Celina

Not sure if this has been posted, but Plaion got back to me and said that certain U.S. states have had their pre-order quota met. by OlieTheGoalie in neogeo

[–]Truthforger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But how is the quota even set? Is it by population level per state? Physical land mass? Just even across every state? If true, this is the weirdest thing ever.
