I see you like your games like you like your women
LEGAL AND OF AGE
I was going to say 16 but then I realized that'd make me a pedo. Also the only game I care about that I miss out on with that 2004 cutoff is Twilight Princess.
With women, someone under ~22-23 in general would probably be a bad idea. I don't consider fledgling adults to really be 'mature' yet for the most part.
Of course, am I really mature yet? I don't think so.
I had a thought today that the shittification of anime and death of cyberpunk is a function of the death of the OVA... and the rise of anime as an opiate of the masses. Something just to distract people from their depressing lives with no girlfriend and a stressful job (or hikikomori that are just shut-ins and depressed in their rooms...) instead of making an artistic expression for an educated and literate audience.
In the 80's, OVA's were something that were enjoyed mostly by people in well-off families (those that had VCR's or those that would rent them), with a high level of education; the rise of cable killed that exclusivity, and as with anything that is appealing to mass audiences it was a race to the bottom (or lowest common denominator). I doubt the tumbling of the Japanese economy did anything to reverse that race to the bottom.
That might not be the whole story, but I think it's at least part of the story.

Was listening to the january 6th committee thing on the radio today.
I do think Trump spurred on the events at the capitol, but I don't for a minute think he actually thought he had a chance to stay in power. He just wanted to save face as "a winner."
I highly doubt he had intent to actually stay in power, although I'm sure he would if the opportunity presented itself. He just didn't want to look weak to his supporters; he had to 'stay in character.'
I doubt his goldfish brain was thinking seriously about future consequences.
So yeah, a lot of political grandstanding and trying to make trump out to be much worse than he is (he's bad, but mostly just in that he's irresponsible and a narcissist).
They made a strong case that he knew he lost the election. Not that I ever really doubted he knew.
So: irresponsible, but I don't know if I'd say he had true malicious intent. It was PR for him, and a chance to be in the center of attention.
A piece of shit, sure. But not so evil as I think the dems are trying to make him out to be. Just immature.

The lunatic is in my head You raise the blade, you make the change. You rearrange me 'til I′m sane. You lock the door, and throw away the key; there's someone in my head, but it's not me.
"You should murder the entire US government" Okay, then. If I insist.

Yeah; it's from 2008 or so and runs rockbox (a third party firmware). I can play game boy color games on it, and I can copy music files to it over USB without having to use itunes or any other weird software. I just copy the files into whatever folder I want on the ipod's storage.
I have no idea what that image is supposed to imply.
Also it supports mp3 and flac files this way.

I remember having to sync my pc with an ipod or some bullshit and then it created a duplicate of all my music.
How did we go from people hating on incels to socialists asking for government allocated sexual partners that are also not hetro-normative.
Does that mean they want government to also allocate your sexual preference?
The current crazy US socialists want to abolish the family and allocate sexual partners based on your allocated work unit. Are they just trying to be as Dystopian as possible? These people are becoming more insane that I realised.
Its like they are trying to out socialist shitpost each other, but the problem is they dominate the discourse on the left.
