At this point i’m not sure what there could be to be excited about. They’ve kind of done everything… now it’s just about incremental upgrades. Like, better graphics, better battery, maybe something like having the ability to use the tablet part and the TV at the same time to mimic the DS/3DS, but that’s about it.

That’s a very good point… it seems like every time the national budget is up for renewal, those Republican clowns threaten to fuck everyone over. Bastards, the lot of them!

What word would you prefer? To me, neurotypical just sounds a bit too scientific to use in casual conversation/memes.

I think I would have to get a govt job in my career path to be able to do that. I’ve considered it, but idk if I really want to or not.

Tbh i think there are a fair amount that think it’s a tired form of expressing sentiments like that.

Must be nice to not have billable hours to worry about…

They did that for Gen Z, where it’s essentially the dividing line between people who were more or less cognizant when 9/11 happened, and those who weren’t.

I didn’t come up with the age range, but it’s been well established for a while now. Someone else told me about “Generation Jones”, which is basically just the younger half of the Boomer generation I guess. I feel like that’s splitting hairs, but who knows, maybe it makes some sort of sense to you?

I don’t understand, are you confused at the age range for Boomers? It literally says it in the image…

Just checked, wow he’s technically a Boomer! Born in 1964, so just made it.

I mean, Myanmar was a british colony… basically they fucked up everything, everywhere.

To be fair, whomever decided to use an apostrophe to indicate possession AND abbreviation clearly didn’t think through all the possible conflicts before going ahead and making it a thing. Should have made a separate symbol for one of them.

Thank you, that was a fascinating read! Sounds in some ways eerily similar with the direction we are going down today…

If so, the whole of eastern Asia should probably get on that, what with their 0.50 birth rates and impending societal collapse…

Oh sorry, I wasn’t trying to say you were doing that, it’s just a thing I see quite often whenever this topic comes up.

And yeah, their games are generally pretty good, so they have staying power. This is compared to flavor of the month games where, once the general populace has had their fun with them, they die in a far-off corner, never to be heard of again.

I mean, when life expectancy is in the early 80’s and you’re half of that…

Not really true, they discount their games on the eshop all the time. And if you’re talking physical copies, Target and other stores have sales all the time too. It’s just not as good as Ubisoft lowering the price of their games to $20 after a month or whatever, so people bitch and moan.

I liked the original game these games were based off of (Donkey Kong ‘94 on gameboy), but what I remember of the Mario vs DK games on GBA was that it focused too much on the mario toys and wasn’t really as fun as DK ‘94.

Thanks, I hate it.

Maybe that’s the secret behind those kids that graduate college at 13 or whatever. They’re playing life on (partial) New Game + mode.
