Personally I think it's admirable. At this point it's impossible to change course, just delay the inevitable. So millenials are just charging towards the end at max speed.

The same can be said of our unhealthy lifestyle.

Millenials are going to wind up being the new generation of ultra conservatives. Instead of banning videogames over satan worship like ultra conservatives of old, they're going to use other things to ban them like rape.

Millenial fathers will yell at their children to turn those games off because they're triggering their mother, and if they don't they're going to get beaten with the free range musk rat leather belt.

Any recommendations for strategy games for 4 people that aren't high-APM RTS?

Try one of the numerious board games like Settlers of Catan, because you're not going to find any videogames like that.

i see you as a snl character at this point. its a dinner party, and everyone is in the middle of the living room having a conversation. your character comes into frame from the bottom, says a line, and then someone responds to you and you reap their taint. then everyone else in the scene turns to the camera and says "taint reap again"

it would be really funny, and "taint reap again" would become the new "more cowbell"

i'm pretty sure the current new generation of ultra conservatives are already in the process of becoming the new generation of ultra conservatives and it's mostly young libertarians and the exact kind of people who crow about political correctness gone mad, not the people you're talking about; i'd say they're exactly like old conservatives except without religious faith as a tenuous explanation for why they hate women and queers, but apparently gavin mcinnes discovered christ after becoming a father so who knows anymore

serious advice: calm down and stop jumping to assign labels to every little intrinsic type of person based on what they do with their lives and what their political views are

many people should do this

You heard it here first folks; no matter what your political ideology, banning videogames makes you an ultra conservative.

I understand the gist of your post but am confused about why you specifically picked mine and not any of the ones talking about the things millennials do

because if ever there were meaningless labels that don't actually describe anything about a person, generations are it

Konami is catering to the elderly.

They're the only types of people I have ever seen who seriously play pachinko. There was some breakdown diagram showing why pachinko is the ultimate game for old people or something. Like old people whoa re afflicted with serious ailments or physical disabilities love to play it because it's the only thing they can do.

I played PT for the first time the other day and while the novelty quickly wears off when you hit the last loop and are trying to figure out whatever arcane combination of actions involving counting steps and singing vaudeville standards into the mic will trigger the ending while a ghost occasionally jerky-runs at you it is pretty good and it's a shame we'll never see a full game that is just being a ghost detective in a series of creatively-designed haunted houses with that level of visual detail

Konami is bad for canceling that too even if Silent Hills probably would have been comparatively boring and too much like a conventional game

IDK what Star Citizen is but something about those two words put together makes me uneasy. Found both the 3rd and 4th on Origin though!
