  • Did you play RDR1? I thought that one was much better than 2, story wise. Not that 2 was bad. Rockstar games are always good imo.

    Baldur’s gate 3 is also in my top 3, story wise and how well it was made and time spent playing it. I finished the campaign 6 times now, 4 of which with friends playing couch coop.

    Also Age of Empires 2 because when I was young I played that game for over at least 3000 hours (if not double) and I still play it sometimes. Just well balanced and lots of good memories from back then, having LAN parties with my friends and playing it for days.









  • I know some proper boomer parents but they are rare AF.

    My parents paid everything for my perfect brother when he went studying. He had a luxurious life as a student.

    I failed in school, because I was special (autistic later turned out) but should have acted like nothing was wrong. So I didn’t get a penny when I couldn’t eat for a week because I was completely broke. Instead they told me. To get my shit together, act like an adult for once and take responsibility for my actions.

    So far they never acknowledged they ever made a single mistake, they project all their mistakes and failures into me or others, they complain constantly like spoiled entitled teenagers and they do nothing but judge people who are less fortunate.

    I’m 38 now, they still tell me I’m behaving like a child even though I always say sorry for the mistakes I make, I always take responsibility and acknowledge when I’m wrong. I fought in wars (in the military), I have fought mental health my entire life, I struggled within the system my whole life, I have loads of friends who I’d die for and who’d die for me, while my parents have no one and are just a bunch of entitled sour lonely fucking boomers. Who’s the responsible adult here? Although I doubted myself many many times, my therapists and friends have ensured me it’s them, not me. And I started to see that too, so I ended my relationship with my parents for good. And with my entitled little brother who always takes my mom’s side no matter what.



  • I pay zero taxes if I were to sell my house. Because I don’t own a house, I can’t afford one. I’m forced to rent.

    My boomer parents constantly complain their pension is shit. They have to watch their spendings, they tell me. They live in a big house, surrounded by water and nature (in the Netherlands, so expensive AF), with a sailing boat AND an expensive motorboat in front of their house, an SUV and caravan, they completely remodeled their garden including expensive fences, they go on holiday about 5 times a year, they got solar panels and heat pump installed, got a new kitchen, bathroom and toilet, expensive automated sun screens for all their windows (all around the house). But they are treated like shit with their poor pension. My dad bought his first house when he finished his studies, my mom never had to work anymore as my dad made more than enough to support a household of 5, we always lived in middle class neighborhoods, we went to private schools. But they complain they have to buy fuel to come visit me, so they rather have me visit them instead. I live in social housing and struggle every month paying my bills. They never gave me a penny as soon as I left the house as I’m a major disappointment, even though I’m financially and mentally struggling (autism, ADHD, PTSD). They even changed their will because I’m such a disappointment so I will get the bare minimum and my perfect younger brother gets almost everything even though he makes loads of money every month.

    I don’t give a fuck. I don’t want anything from them when they die. I’m not complaining about not getting anything. I’m just complaining their love for me is measured in success and that they are privileged fucks who constantly complain about their sad rich lives while many others are actually struggling and they don’t give a fuck about them. They are an example of what’s wrong with society. I broke off all contact with them. Fucking boomers. They even turned full right wing racists even though their parents and grandparents fought in the resistance during the second world war and got deported and tortured to death by the nazis in concentration camps.
