Music that doesn't contain actual humans playing actual instruments is fucking dumb and mostly terrible. Bring back guitars. Bring back real drums. Hell, bring rock n roll back into the public consciousness.

Dawg if you think music with real instruments doesnt exist anymore then idk what to tell you lol. I also encourage you to actually listen to some electronic music with an open mind. Calling not just a genre, but a ridiculously broad category of music dumb because of no actual instruments is kind of silly.

This is probably the most actual boomer post ive seen this entire topic lol

Refusing to play live service and gacha on principle.
I'm perfectly fine with unrealistic and retro style graphics too although I'm not even sure if that's really that boomerish since most casuals seem fine with that too. It's the hardcore crowd that prioritizes the flashiest graphics.

Physical games still give you more consumer rights compared to digital when it comes to video game consoles. You can't really compare console digital games to PC since steam gives PC players more rights when it comes to this kind of thing. Consoles really need to have multiple digital store fronts (not like, amazon, best buy, gamestop and whatnot. I mean multiple storefronts actually built into the consoles theirselves. No more of this ps store, microsoft store, and eshop only shit).

Like these fuckers will completely shut down old console digital stores and so many games that never got ported anywhere else or got a physical release will now just disappear into the ether. Only way stuff like castlevania rebirth can be played again is via emulation.

It sucks because even if I buy a decent amount of physical console games still (just picked up my steelbook SMT 5 vengeance on PS5 not too long ago) I know that physical console games (at least on the playstation and most definitely on the xbox. I'm sure nintendo still does pretty good with their own at least) is definitely way more niche now.

I never said it doesn't exist. I'm talking about it no longer being mainstream. And I've listened to a shitton of music. Music is basically my life. I'm a musician.

Taking care of my lawn. Love that fresh cut and trim of it.

I'm definitely more on the physical media side too.

Funny enough, I've really mellowed out on the "hating new media" thing as I've gotten older. Like, I'll still make fun of shit that sucks, but for the most part... I just don't care. If it makes someone happy and they like it, great, good for them, glad they have something they enjoy.

Music with real instruments is absolutely still mainstream. You should know this as a musician.

Someone whos listened to a lot of music should also not be making blanket statements calling music without real instruments dumb and bad lmao

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


Back in '19 I bought a used car from '06

A couple years after that, the plastic casing on the key fob broke

I thought "okay, I'll just have a new key made. I can live without the fob"

Turns out, the car won't start without the electronic fob.

Ended up paying 100 bucks to a specialty place to have the key fob repaired.

WTF!? Getting a new key made at a hardware store would have cost like 20 bucks at most.
But noooooo, the damn thing just HAD to have the electronic fob!

I don't care much about efficiency or min/max when it comes to games like oldschool rs

My total ehp (temple's metrics) is 2420 and my actual time played is a bit over 6k hours lmao. So not even half efficient. Idc though ill always choose the xp methods that are relaxing enough for me to do other stuff on the side.

Reminds me of that Arrested Development bit where Buster was sent to the school for children who should not be seen or heard.

He was so good at it no one noticed that he was still on campus for most of the summer.

Before that technology people could steal cars way too easily. Once your ignition lock cylinder got worn out or damaged it was game over.
