I want to hear no more complaining about millenials.
I realize some of these parents in fall into the millennial cohort but the ones being vilified for not pursuing the traditional "American dream" of infinite debt though home ownership and children are not them.

So this is what it's come to? I miss the days when parents would hire gamers to kill off their kids characters in the hopes they'd get a job irl.

Millennial is a hard label to kill... maybe we need to hire buzzword-assassins for that!
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe they are driven to school.
ReplyDeleteAny school or this school Gene Chiu ?
ReplyDeleteCass Morrison Just reminiscing about how things changed between now and when I went to school.
ReplyDeleteI guess back when I was young, there were no video game coaches because anyone who would be coaching didn't have video games when they grew up.
And I when I was growing up pong was super advanced! Our family was too budgeted for a colour TV.
ReplyDeleteCass Morrison I do recall having a B&W TV and then getting a colour one. It was in the 70's when not everyone transitioned to colour yet.
ReplyDeleteI actually did get a JC Penny Pong game console. My uncle from the US bought it for me. It had 4 variants of Pong. One of them had 2 paddles per player. I actually poured apple juice onto the console and caused it to malfunction. One player had an extra paddle which made the game unfair.
I am a HARDCORE GAMER, it's my sweetest escape. Alas, Fortnite is so kiddish I just couldn't get into it... I realize the craze is immense, but I think this is because kids (especially American kids), love to be lemmings. So if a bunch of these Lil snots hype a thing, soon all or most other snots have to follow so they can "belong". This formula is why Disney's kiddie movies sell huge and why this annoying game is as big as it is, considering others of its ilk are far better (Overwatch, PUBG, to name a couple) to play. As for parents who are hiring coaches.... This only bolsters the aforementioned mindset.... This is also how Trumpism has spread (not unlike mono).
