Well and here we are! I don't even know if peeble and doop are real places online or she just made it up to make a point π
Made it up. Please. Dear god. Please.
When I hear "20 yrs ago" I still think 90s. π
I still think 90s when I hear 8-9 years ago.
I remember in 2010 when someone posted a meme on ragecomics that showed how sad they are that some people still use 'years ago' to refer to the early 90s...
and we wondered why everything was a GameBoy or a Nintendo for our parents
No no! THIS is different ! π it's because it's funny to mess with kids.
My routine when I walk into the room where my daughter is playing a game:
- Identify the game she is playing.
- Ask her how <activity in game she isn't currently playing> is going. Like if she's caught all the PokΓ©mon when she's playing Minecraft.
I'm not even trying to be subtle about it, but am still not sure she realizes I'm doing it deliberately. Either way, she corrects me with exasperation each time.
I used to work at a hikers' hostel on the Appalachian Trail. A group of hikers needed a ride into town but were short on cash. One of them suggested they offer the hostel owner some weed in exchange for a ride. Another one said, "He doesn't smoke weed. He's old, like in his 40s." He actually was in his 50s and bought his weed from me lol
"We are the first to do this." -every young cohort going back through time
Also "the fucking old people caused this mess and are standing in the way of fixing it. We need them to die off so we can turn it around"
There has never been a young generation not saying this. Many of them have been correct too, but few have turned anything around when it's their turn.
"The young ones are lacking conservative quality that we had" - Every old cohort going back through time
Ah the duality of humans :p
I often need to remind myself that Harry Potter, and Lord of the Rings are not recent movies.
It's the same as being a kid in the 80s, which I was, and thinking The Seven Year Itch was a recent movie. Now, I had seen that movie on TV, because my parents liked it, and I thought it was funny, but never did I think of it as "recent".
Still, you can't tell me that Harry Potter movies didn't happen in the last ten years.
I have never (not asking for info, I can look it up) seen it, just heard it mentioned by name. Couldn't tell you the actors or even the genre off hand.
But I can tell you that every time I hear the movie my brain (for juuuust a second) always thinks it's a Star Trek movie that's specifically about pon farr.
For those not in the know, Vulcans (aka the race of aliens that Spock belongs to), while very disciplined, will get super horny every 7 years. So horny that they will just up and die if they don't bust a nut and for whatever reason they can't just take care of it themselves.
Now I'm no kid from the 60s, but I did hear of it first with Tuvok in the Voyager series. And now that reference is just as dated now as the original show was when I watched Voyager. And I just had a whole existential moment between those 2 sentences in this paragraph. I'm so old now.
Holy hell, the last movie was released in 2011.
I remember how much anticipation and agony people were complaining about waiting for it, that it couldn't come soon enough.
I recently picked up a new game: RoboCop: rogue city..... It hits all of the nostalgia about the original movie so far. Marching through an office building blowing off people's hands and ripping machine guns off turrets and mowing down rooms full of enemies in all the gory, bloody detail..... It gives me all the warm and fuzzy feelings.
The sound track is on point too.
Hard to believe it's source material is from 1987. The game almost looks as good as the movie did. It's not as polished as big name titles. People will talk and their mouth won't move, some of the idle animations for NPCs is very repetitive and robotic.... But the visuals... MMM. If you liked the original, and want to partake in some thug killing mayhem as Murphey himself, I'd recommend it.
It's actually only $9.99 right now with the Steam spring sale, normally $49.99...fuck. I might have to play it.
That game is a blast to play. Some bugs like you said but well worth the 20 bucks or whatever I spent on it.
I refuse to ever call Harry Potter a classic.
But it is a classic
I'm a school bus driver and my elementary school kids go on about somebody named "Queso" (sp?) on Youtube and I find myself constantly fighting the urge to see what he's all about. It can't possibly be good.
He's a streamer whose chat makes fun of him for being fat. Caseoh.
