What would be your periodization of the "golden age of gaming"? Mine would start at the introduction of the consoles like the N64 and PS1, and the release Windows 95...then it would end with the coming of microtransactions. So that would be 2006 with the introduction of that horse armor in Elder Scrolls Oblivion.
This is not to say that I don't enjoy any games released after that though :p I built a gaming pc in 2011 mostly so I could play Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
I don't bother. Our time is better spent figuring out legal ways to take as much money away from them as possible, not "engaging" in "discourse" with them. 🙄💀
Adult supremacy is a real thing. While it is very prominent among American Baby Boomers, it can afflict people of any generation. I believe we as adults have a responsibility to guide and protect youth, not forcefully shape them into some predetermined mold.
Frankly it infuriates me when I see somebody of my age (early 30s) acting just like a damned Boomer and complaining about "kids these days", when those kids are just responding to pressures of a world that adults have forced upon them. The only kind of youth I truly dislike are the alt-right kind.
I cannot speak for any other country, but the US public school experience is designed to beat the kids down until they accept their place within the capitalist system by the time they're 18 years old. Any education that happens in those places is incidental. They're primarily meant for schooling, not education.
After 9/11, the shittiest people in the world called me the T word for being brown and having a foreign-sounding name. In the subsequent years they hated me for my obvious neurodivergence, my lack of misogynistic tendencies, my refusal to accept the alt right, my insistence on wearing an N95, and now my identity as an nb trans person. This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. Every year they get more mad and I only have more middle fingers to give.
I've read recently that the vanguard structure of the Bolsheviks didn't even emerge until a few years into the Civil War.
Too many self-described Communists today act like religious cultists who worship a few dead guys, and maintain a single-minded belief in some rapture-like "Revolution Day" where they can re-enact some dumbed-down of events that happened in 1917-1923. I believe this approach is misguided and counterproductive to the needs of the people here and now.
For anticapitalist content from Turtle Island, I think we need to start looking for and platforming more Black and Indigenous decolonial content creators. Ones who can take the lessons from the past and apply them to the conditions of the here and now. There are already many people like this on TikTok. Personally I wouldn't put too much trust in big Twitch streamers, but that's just my take.

I have no interest in talking to them. Their proper place is to keep their mouths shut and their wallets open for my perusal.
There is always that one lib who downvotes 😆
We see you, dude!
They are sad creatures. Don't worry about them. Their opinions are wrong.

I really thought regular-ass people would have had enough of this capitalism thing after the pandemic started, but here we still fucking are today.

Lift so hard that the world itself trembles.
There are redacted things that redacted could have done so long ago, but redacted would not have redacted the redacted. And thus here we are today.
A crowd-sourced app that maps all of the homeless people and tent encampments in every neighborhood of your city. Like snapchat.

"homeless people are landlords" 💀
It's not looking at them that's the problem, it's the obsessing and worshipping part.

Thalassophobia is a big thing for a reason. This is what happens when somebody disrespects the ocean.
