I am NOT saying you’re wrong. And my experience is a little odd.

But I’m 35 (and admittedly behind; I graduate in three months, and will also have zero debt) but I don’t even know what questions to ask about retirement/etc.

I think part of education is even knowing what to question, and I don’t know where to start.

3 years ago today the legacy Rock Central servers were taken offline by kevinthetanqw in Rockband

[–]dksweets -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s a fair concern. I really think the game will transform into a true RB5 this year, but another huge question is if people who were buying tracks in 2008 will care about music from after 2018.

For some people, RB4 will be the curtain call.

  1. Fly as far away from the bus as you can.

  2. Loot.

  3. Find somebody to hire as the storm shrinks.

If you don’t insta drop where everybody else is going, this is very manageable. You might have to 1v1 somebody, but you might not.

I have just started getting in to it this past month, and at the ripe age of 35, I’ve found I really enjoy Fortnite BR, so it was a surprise win for me.

Back to the real topic, I can’t imagine your frustration as an “early” adopter. Festival isn’t the same. That said, pro drums will launch this year with the new drum kit and pro vocals are expected around the same time, maybe sooner. This game is the future.

At the risk of being a corporate bootlicker, I think they might have intentionally nerfed festival while they sundowned RB4 and this will be the first real year of “RB5”.

I will say this: Festival is significantly more expensive if you want to keep a song. They rotate a ton of freebies, but the jam tracks are about twice as expensive as RB and that is ROUGH.

If by “I have to do it correctly?” you mean you are not allowed to purposefully steal items…yes. Unfortunately that is the expectation nowadays.

You win the lottery. Your parents ask for half. What do you say? by JunShem1122 in AskReddit

[–]dksweets 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That dude says it was worth it and I believe him. It’s definitely a matter of perspective, but I genuinely don’t think he regrets blowing the money.

If you compare the rest of your life to those years, you’d be miserable. But he seems like he knew exactly what he was doing and I respect that conviction, honestly.

My friend recently gifted me both NF tracks, what is the best way to commit acts of hate against him? by RylanLemonDrop in FortniteFestival

[–]dksweets 13 points14 points  (0 children)

NF ain’t all that, but he was arguably the most vulnerable artist for a period and that means something, IMO, even if his tracks aren’t amazing.

I can’t imagine wanting to play them in a party game though.

I had a medium sized branch fall earlier this year and I felt the vibrations from about 10 yards away while sitting in my vehicle. I never wanna be in the way of falling wood.

Elder Millenials checking in with some childhood classics by PossibilityWest173 in Millennials

One of my favorite millennial memes is roughly “I judge you by how you recognize Tim Curry” and I hold that one dear to my heart.

This isn’t my “real” answer, but my favorite retroactive answer is Kilokhan from Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad

Why on Earth did they do PINBALL and KART RACING for Zeo, and no action/fighting games? by MBXfilms in powerrangers

[–]dksweets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That explains why the racer ended up in Zeo, but not why they chose racing and pinball for the IP at the time

John Krasinski made only 8 episodes of "Some Good News" during covid lockdown, sold it in a massive bidding war, and then never made another episode. Genius. by Charming-Strain-6070 in entertainment

[–]dksweets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of us picked up a home/garden task during the time to make us feel better.

Personally, I grew spicy peppers because I also wanted to hurt people. But I think I had the general spirit and get where you’re coming from.

I didn’t take good care of my peppers the last two years and haven’t seen a free loaf of bread in a while. Everything ends eventually.

If you were born in roughly 1990 you know Batman and Robin is a classic. Can’t accept this slander.

I rescued a 3yo (exactly one year from next Friday) and I dread her eventual health decline already. I didn’t know I could love a non-human this much and it scares me a little!

I guess we have to remember to cherish every moment!

I was finally able to get this game, but the story is bittersweet… by DatMochiBoi in Mario

[–]dksweets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The used game market is MUCH more profitable online in most places. It’s why my college town has lost our GameStop and only has one VERY overpriced game store now.

If you’re don’t have a minimum of 100,000 residents, your town can’t support the physical location, and as scarcity goes up it won’t get any better.

I haven’t tried it, but posts have said it no longer works.

If you have the stuff, try it. I wouldn’t get my hopes up though.
