Although that is true, they might not be as familiar with the concept of online multiplayer games, which rose in popularity much later. The odds of someone’s parents having played, for example, Quake or Unreal Tournament in their childhoods are considerably lower.
Am a 41 year old dad who grew up with Quake, Doom, and Unreal Tournament, and now have a 12 year old son who is also growing up on games. The boomers who didn't have a clue are dying. Those were OUR parents who didn't know diddly squat about gaming, not this generation's parents.
Well, in your bubble maybe. I can assure you the majority of people your age barely grasp the concept of the internet, let alone online gaming. Same goes for people in their 20s. It’s like cars for many people. Sure, they know very well how to use them, but have no idea about what other people do with their cars, like racing or off-roading. They might have some rough idea of what it probably is, but no clue about all the intricacies.
Nowadays most people use the internet, but that doesn’t mean they understand the pain when someone leaves your online match. Not everybody is playing online games, let alone online games where a leaving teammate actually matters.
I think you are right. There are many people in their 40s who grew up with online games, my father included :). Although I am still fairly certain that online games weren’t as prevalent back then as they are today, thus many parents don’t quite grasp the concept.
EDIT: I would like to add that even people who didn’t play online games, such as my mother, still played on the atari, for example, and know the concept of “unpauseable” games. So I think that it mostly comes down to demographic. In my group of school friends (a few years ago) some parents were in the know and others weren’t.
I really hate to be that guy but I went from 10.5 to 8.5 hours average by regularly exercising. Hard to begin with since usually the issue is not enough time or being too tired but it is worth it. Took about 3 months or dailyish activity
sleep is depression, i say as someone with adhd-induced inspmnia on top of just regular insomnia who can’t sleep for shit
i spent 3 hours lying down with my eyes closed not being able to sleep after getting 2 hours of sleep the night before, after staying up for 24 hours straight. end me
What fuels your sleeplessness? Even when I feel super tired it’s still a long combined process of constant tossing and turning and not being able to shut my brain up
I’d say switching between option A and option B is what fucks you up; you have an irregular sleep schedule. Pick option B and stick with it, even on weekends.
Do not forget about the part where it constantly lingers overhead, and despite you thinking about it every moment and making every moment hell until you do it, you don’t do it until that last minute anyway.
The problem isn’t that our parts wear out. The problem is that most critical ones aren’t easily replaceable and the most important one is designed specifically to not be removable.
