I’ve been playing this, too! It’s a great game!

Most definitely can be refuted. There are hundreds or maybe thousands of amazing games out there made by young and old people that appeal to both young and old people. The issue Anon is struggling with is non gamer capitalists running game companies and milking games for every last penny at the cost of quality.

I know it’s a tired example, but look at the company and team responsible for BG3. A game that is widely considered one of the greatest games to be realsed in at least the last 10 years, maybe even longer. This game was made by a company owned and operated by old people and young people. The teams directing, designing, creating, and writing this game were made up of multiple generations of people, and what was made, unimpacted by corporate greed, was a masterpiece.

Good games are products of passion and creative freedom, not money or age.

Fair enough.

Whilst that is fair, i dont think there is too little information in the picture to see the irony, i think you presumed a lot of details that were incorrect and thats just as bad as me unintentionally ommitting the context you needed to understand my viewpoint.

How can you possibly know who was driving the car?

I took the picture… about 15 or 16 years ago

Furthermore, even if the red van wasn’t being driven by a learner, how can you know the events that led to this weren’t caused by a different car driven by a learner?

The area that the car was is a small car park outside of a pub called the coach and horses.

Coordinates 53.3764660, -3.1237445

The driver had just come from the pub. I was across the road in the beer garden of another pub called the greave dunning (just about visible i that screenshot) when it happened and witnessed the crash. He got in his car, had it in 1st instead of reverse, and went straight through the bricks and off the edge.

Is that enough for you to understand why i find it ironic?

Irony:

a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often wryly amusing as a result.

The car is not being driven by a learner. Its not ironic just because a car crashed outside a driving school, its ironic because the driver is experiencedz has a licence and should be able to drive but they have crashed outside a driving school, the place you go to learn to drive…

I thought this was pretty clear.

I have to disagree. Granted, those learning to drive are likely less skilled than those who have passed their tests already. However, the majority of crashes involve people who have already passed. Learners tend to be more careful and drive more slowly than more experienced drivers. Learners also have an instructor present who can use the dual pedal controls in the instructor car to stop something like this from happening.

So whilst you might think a more experienced driver would be less likely to crash, remember, this car was not being driven by a learner and more experienced drivers are less likely to pass driving tests, since they develop bad habits like not using indicators, becoming overconfident and bending or breaking rules, more likely to speed and as stated beforez are far more likely to crash or be caught in one than a learner.

Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley

Covering Leonard Cohen. This song is one of two (the other being Grace) that got me obsessed with Jeff Buckley back in my early to mid 20’s.

It’s just beautiful.

I will survive by cake is incredible! 100%. Couldnt agree more.

Dont you mean imagine giants? 😜

Yeah, its a great version. Almost a completely different song.

Yeah, i didn’t really like Seinfeld. I liked Fraiser, but preferred friends. At the time. I think Fraiser aged better though.

I liked up to the end of the season with the time travel where they all jumped to different times a few years apart. Think it was season 2. After that, i just didn’t feel the show was coherent or interesting.

Its a real shame. The part with his brother is, in my opinion, the worst part of the show. It gets better and better.

Not to say its a bad part, i liked it. Its just that it gets better and better as the show goes on, and the ending is great.

I dont k ow if you watched it when it was new, but today it’s not very funny. In the 90s, it was funny, but comedy has changed a lot since then, and some of the show is not very “woke” if you will excuse the term.

I think there are still funny and quotable moments but i dont think any of it would resonate with a younger audience. Comedy today is so much better and different to then. And a lot of shows that have come along since friends have used plots and jokes from the show and done them to death so it seems unoriginal and derivative.

I think this is all true of a lot of old shows. Tv is just a different beast now.

Yeah, last season was so boring and unsatisfying.

There were so many ways that show could have gone which would have been good.

Those are tarantula eggs 😜

I think i might have this, too! Is it like a static feeling? Like o old CRT screens?
