Working from home becoming a norm.
Public disdain for the ultra wealthy supposedly making it's way into the norm.
Those are two i can think of off the top of my head for social stuff.
For music it could be genre fusions becoming more of a standard thing rather than something niche. Post hardcore fusing with country has been a big mood these past few years. Probably started a little bit before but it's everywhere now, to be honest country fusing with any genre is becoming the in thing.
I have a theory about lactose intolerance. You now how humans in general just struggle with digesting lactose unless the body has built up enzymes over time. I think lactose intolerant people are just dairy addicts haha.
Yeah i originally was going to write "seemingly paradoxically" but it made it seem more like I was saying "seems to demand..." And I wanted to make sure it came across as a definite, if you know what i mean.
That sucks that it's got to the point you feel like you need it but to be honest even just as a deterrent (even if you or others think it looks goofy to wear one) would be WELL worth it to wear one. I don't think it requires outside validation for that.
Depending on the context if someone says 20's it's pretty obvious what they mean by it. I personally say 20's for the current decade and 1920's for the previous one, because it's much less likely I'm going to be talking about the 1920's
About 15 years ago with I was about 17-18 I hooked my megadrive up to a projector. Had to create my own cable for it because i didn't have an AV cable. Used a large paper clip for the prongs to stick them into the right holes in the AV port. Only needed two of them.
I would then project Sonic on the side of my house in the late evening and played whilst laying on a sun lounger. Can imagine that looked weird to any passerby's.
PlayStation is one of my favourites but it also comes down to that shade of grey being my absolute favourite shade of grey. And the OG pre-dualshock/analog potentially being my favourite shape of controller too. I have a modded Bluetooth one but sadly there's not too many modern games (outside of fighters) that don't need both the dpad and analog.
I also love the Gameboy color's shape. As an adult it's great for one handed gaming for rpgs.
That's hilarious haha, that has to be the best autocorrect from my swipe typing I've seen yet. I'll have to figure out what was meant to actually go there now (I'll stick it in an edit at the end though cause that is too funny to remove)
Alan wake 2 had massive critical acclaim what you on about and they're now in a financial situation to publish they're own games because of it.
And their store definitely runs better than steam and gog. Gog is the worst hanging most of the time with it often losing its penis place when going back to the previous page, and the latter is often the same on steam. Even big picture mode struggles with the steam store some times.
Maybe we could group together with other countries in the same continent as us and grow stronger bonds with them. You could even make it easier for trade to go between such countries by sharing some common laws amongst one another. Another wild idea is that if some countries are struggling to get people to work on certain industries, we could make it easier for people within this group to work between different countries.
Could call it the Group of Europe or something similar.
We would have never gotten the likes of Alan wake 2 if not for epics money though, which also paved the way for remedy to become more independent for future releases. I'd rather have an exclusive then nothing at all.
It's also arguable whether or not square would've ported kingdom hearts to pc if not for epic paying for it as well. Which in turn allowed them to put it on steam later because the game had already been made to work for pc.
Other than how they've handled rocket league and harmonix, epic have done nothing but good for the pc space in my opinion. Even if a launcher is shitty, a launcher is just a launcher and at least their store runs better than gog or steams.
I mean it was never true. The way we described those old decades are mostly in the viewpoint of the UK, US and other similar countries mostly.
