I've seen as many things that include '82 in the generation as don't. It's the most ambiguous year. The Miliminal. Just use cultural touchstones, like you should be doing anyway.

Mid 80s makes me feel like a man without a country. Too old to rock 'n roll, too young to die.

Squizzle posted:Almost exactly like comics "Ages" (Golden, Silver, etc.), pinning that poo poo down to years isn't actually useful. The real tests are all about culture and influences. Were you an adult when 9/11 happened? Probably not Millennial. Looking for (or lost) your first job during the financial crisis? Probably a Millenial.

You moderated an internet forum, as in an older BBS and not a Facebook group or similar. You're pre-Millenial. I solved it, you're welcome.

Millenial is mostly defined as being born 1980-2001. Some define it as late as 1984 (Strauss/Howe) to 1992 as end-point (Canada), but generally around 1980 seems the more common starting point. If you want make yourself feel better you can claim being from the similarly made up Generation Oregon Trail if you are nearly a Gen Xer. I'm born 1980 and never played Oregon Trail, so I claim being just another stupid Millenial rear end in a top hat. Decius fucked around with this message at 09:23 on Feb 23, 2016 |

I'm happy I was born pre internet and remember what it was like to be bored and actually have to use my memory for things. I was born in 82. What the gently caress happened to gen Y? That what everyone called my generation when I was younger.

STAH thread makes me wonder, what's the actual best/most clever use of GL or any GL style power in comics. So you can create anything you think of, that's cool, there should be like a million great stories using that cleverly. Instead, the most iconic GL stuff seems to be more about being space cops or emotional warfare. I like Kyle and designs given to him were more interesting to look at but still feels like it hasn't been tapped that much as a concept. Basically, Lurdiak posted:Dude, asking Green Lantern of all things to rise above chronic mediocrity is a pipe dream. How is this so true about a character with powers like that

It's the Bizzaro Comics strip where Alan Scott makes a boxing glove to defeat a bank robber and then the boxing glove has an existential crisis.

My favorite was when Kyle would use it to make French curves for his graphic design business.

You just made me remember the guy from Smallville who got slight nerve damage in his hands from a car accident that made it harder for him to paint, but also gained telekinesis from the same incident, and he felt that was apparently a bad trade and went on a murderous revenge spree. Keep in mind he could use his telekinesis to paint effortlessly.

I like Kyle and designs given to him were more interesting to look at but still feels like it hasn't been tapped that much as a concept. Not in comics, and totally not the way the ring works, I know, but I just finished playing Lego Batman 3, and all the Lanterns basically make portals to warp from one end of the galaxy to the other... shaped like regular doorways. I thought it was cute. As far as comics go, I like when people kind of forget that the ring is only supposed to make constructs and instead just make GL rings do what-the-gently caress-ever because hey they're basically magic rings that work on willpower/wishing really hard. Like a couple of years ago, Simon Baz, the most recent GL that everyone immediately forgot, was getting a crash course in ring-wielding, and his trainer (a GL who is a squirrel because hey, comedy) told him through a very poor choice of words that the ring could do anything he willed it to do. Baz took it to a hospital where brother-in-law was in a coma and (through great effort) woke him up.
