@TheOneSwit @georgetakei Unfortunately, that link wants my email address. Looking at the title, only, my initial response would be "the problem is about significantly more than college affordability." There's a reason most of the American population — as evidenced by #CheetoMussolini's own communiques — speaks and reads at or below a sixth-grade level (and I assume that "sixth-grade" is relative to recent highschool standards, not the ones this particular #Xer had to deal with).

@cmconseils I mostly play in whatever the name for "medium" mode is. It's enough challenge to not be boring without being so challenging that it becomes a slog.

Wife generally prefers to play on easy mode, but will try to play at medium if we're playing co-op.

That said, it's been rather a while since I've powered on my gaming-console. With all the AAA game-makers all but abandoning campaign-mode, especially co-op campaign-mode (and, super-especially, local co-op), we just don't find new games worthwhile. Cost of two gaming setups aside, "couch co-op" is a lot more fun than trying to play "together" when we're each in different parts of the house.

…and neither one of us finds online multi-play with total strangers to be enjoyable. Dunno if that last bit is just a side-effect of us being #GenX.

Honestly, I don't know how online multi-play with nothing but strangers can be considered in the same breath of "social gaming" as "couch co-op". But, again, as an #Xer — for whom LAN parties used to be a thing — sitting in a room, by yourself, with your individual gaming-setup just doesn't feel right.

This feels like an X anthem.

Violent Femmes - Kiss Off
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kxK_-O1bQM

Situation gets rough, then I start to panic
It's not enough, it's just a habit
Hey, kid, you're sick
Well, darling, this is it

You can all just kiss off into the air
Behind my back, I can see them stare
They'll hurt me bad, but I won't mind
They'll hurt me bad, they do it all the time
Yeah, they do it all the time

I hope you know that this will go down on your permanent record

Kiss Off

OK I'll bite - #Xer music for Generation X for #AlternateFridayMusic⁩ .

We spent most of the 1980s in the shadow of pending nuclear apocalypse so taking that, and a band with "X" in their name, how about "Dancing With Tears In My Eyes" by Ultravox.

And it's even on Bandcamp so I don't have to link to YouTube: https://ultravox.bandcamp.com/track/dancing-with-tears-in-my-eyes-steven-wilson-stereo-mix

Dancing With Tears In My Eyes (Steven Wilson Stereo Mix), by Ultravox

from the album Lament (2024 Steven Wilson Mix)

I guess another #Xer anthem to consider is “We Didn’t Start the Fire” by Billy Joel. https://youtu.be/eFTLKWw542g

Apparently all of us Gen X people are posting about #Xer music for #alternatefridaymusic and it’s parsed “X-er” rather than being the neopronoun.

Some of these posts lament that we do not have a generational anthem like the boomers’ “My Generation” but I feel that we totally do, at least for those of us at the tail end: Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” https://youtu.be/hTWKbfoikeg
