My parents are (early) Gen X. In general I don't think you are transparent or ignored. I'm not saying this isn't your case though.

I appreciate my parents and even though they are "outdated" on some stuff, I value them immensely. For instance, if it wasn't for my dad I likely would never have gotten into omputers. And that would've led me not have my current job (probably). I owe everything to them.

In fact, in my country at least (not US), I'm pretty sure Boomers + Gen X make up the majority of the voting power due to declining birth/death rates. (These stats are 100% pulled out of my ass, so they can very well be wrong.)

So, if anything you're the ones who hold more power (again, in my country at least).

What I'm trying to say is, things aren't as black and white as this stupid memes make them seem. We're all collectively messed up somehow. :)

I wonder if in the future, millennials and gen z will become the new boomers and gen X.

That will make me kinda sad. I just hope we don't go down the same path...

I think I haven't slept as little as these past few weeks. 🥲

Get off work, play NMS for 3 to 4 hours and have dinner. Join my brother for BG3 co-op. Look at the time and suddenly it's 1am. Start getting stuff ready to leave only to get lost on some side quest... When I finally have enough it's 3am...

Hey!

What do you mean you can't co-op? I'm playing with my friend and we're actually a party of 3

I'm on steam, he's on gamepass on PC, and his SO is on gamepass on xbox. So considering all this madness works, I don't see why you should have issues :(

Let me know if I can help you somehow :)

Currently playing Baldur's Gate 3, 2 player co-op and it's been an absolute blast.

Recently a friend started playing No Man's Sky and I joined in to help him get started and give him some tips... Only to get re-addicted to it myself so now I'm split between BG3 and NMS 🥲

As a gw2 veteran (in the sense of owning the game for a long time, not that I am very good at it) I'm pretty sure you'll like it! I honestly feel sad for how overlooked GW2 is...

The community is great, don't be afraid to ask for help if you're stuck on a quest or a puzzle. More often than not people will go out of their way to help you!

Never heard of skill up but now I'm curious about their review :)

Edit: I haven't tried the new Xpack yet, but I've heard it's great! Might buy it later on discount since I'm not planning on playing for a couple of months at least.

Yep... I just loved Diablo too much but I guess this was the last time...

I am curious how this acquisition from Microsoft will go though. I don't think it can get worse so maybe it'll get slightly better.

I never thought about the camera but that could be one of the things that bothers me, now that I think about it...

I thought that with season 1 I'd be more hyped to play it, but it seemed so shite I couldn't bring myself to playing it... And now, knowing that there'll be expansions yearly, I don't think I'll ever bother lol.

Oh... That seems nice! I like PoE but yeah, it does get too complex.

When I was studying and had a lot of free time, that would've probably been a plus to me back then. But today PoEs extensive build options are just a headache...

I'll try last epoch for sure! As I thought D3 (although fun) was a bit too simple on the builds.

I agree with you, but unfortunately that's the reality today. Having been raised playing DII with my dad, Diablo is too big of a franchise for me to skip because of live services.

I completely respect that though. I hope one day live services will be gone or optional. But that's not very likely...

You're right. I didn't even buy it pre order because I hate doing that and never will. So, after the game was launched, I watched some streams, the game seemed fun and no really big complaints anywhere. A couple of friends also bought the game, and told me it was fun.

And, to be honest, they weren't wrong. The game WAS fun... Until you end the story and it's just boring.

I played on both betas too and did enjoy the gameplay and such. Couldn't wait for more of the story...

So that's how I ended up buying it 1week or so after release.
