Threads like this really highlight how old lemmy is.

It's nice.

Tbh I'd pay a premium to join a service that provides game servers and matchmaking with verified adults just to avoid gaming with children.

I don't want it forced by the government because that's just state surveillance but I'd absolutely pay for a washed only gaming service.

You might dig this community: https://forums.oldtimersguild.com/ they have groups that play most current and old games, and it really IS a joy.

Meh, there are a lot of adults who behave just like children.

[–] turdcollector69@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

Yeah but I don't feel bad calling them fuckhead or rumple dickskin the way I'd feel bad about calling a child those things.

Genuinely loving being old and making fun of myself for being old.

I'm still reading down the comments waiting for somebody to agree how awesome Billy Joel is. Whats up with people feeling "old" for appreciating Billy joel. He is a musical genius and his music bangs.

Are people embarrassed to appreciate music from Bach or Mozart or quotes from aristotle?

Billy Joel was my dad's era but he had some good songs. Not quite my genre but I like some of it. I'll listen to music from any time period.

Same here. I've really only ever heard three songs out of his top 10 singles but Uptown Girl, Piano Man, and We Didn't Start the Fire I can definitely vibe with.

No need to get all caught up in society’s stipulations
You're a member of the freak generation
They're gonna burn, but you'll have duration

When the pendulum swings, it cuts
When the big door swings open, it shuts
Yeah, we'll be middle-aged children, but so what?
