Would probably help if ya watched some Seinen which is generally of a higher quality. May I suggest Hellsing Ultimate and Black Lagoon? Just be ready for some proper ultra violence, also pretty sure all the characters are of age.

The some reason is probably just that they have a Delorean and want to show it off. Damned near every museum I’ve been to has had at least one random shit exhibit, the natural history museum in my county has a whole ass exhibit dedicated to mining within the county because they just kinda started to acquire old mining equipment at some point.

While it may not be related I have a CRT monitor that did something kinda similar and which I think I know what it is so I’ll give a suggestion. It may legit just be one of the internal boards or whatever equivalent that controls power and may just need to be resoddered or otherwise replaced.

Honestly Fable was getting a tad messy by the third game, starting over from scratch but using the original as a framework is probably the only way to do it. I feel like if Bethesda were to do a remake of any of the pre Morrowind games it’d be the same way, also I really wish they would remake Redguard because its such a cool game idea wrapped in a jank fest of an engine which funfact is technically 2d fucken Bethesda black magic.

Also Colby Jack my beloved. Seriously if you hand me a burger with anything else you’re waking up with your own foot shoved up thine ass.

I feel like it’d be better to say that the broad cultural attitude and even aesthetics havent changed too much since the 90s. You could throw me in my normal clothes (Read weeb shirt and surplus camo jacket) and there’s a pretty good chance folks would just assume I’m punk or grunge. While culture has shifted the broad attitudes have really only gotten bleaker if more socially progressive, but here’s the thing the culture that existed when my grandmother was 20 and what existed when my mother was 20 is for more different than my mother and I at 20. Throw me back to 1999 and I would only look different in that I’m a paranoid asshole trying to murder his own father.

Note I’m 26, just using 20 as a baseline since it’s pre 9-11 for my mom and 1976 for my grandmother.

Could’ve sworn there was an even earlier example of something similar with Doom 2016 where they played like they were just introduced to the concept of a video game. Like I know I play brutal doom and boomer shooters in general like an over hyped crackhead, I beat Boltgun at max difficulty with the clown vomit shader but that video was on the opposite side of the spectrum where they played like a toddler and got pissy about it.

Motherfucker, I used to have a vaporwave looken one of this due to a decoding error on an old phone and was going to post it but now I can’t find the sombitch. Fack.

For me it’s less “You changed” and more “Damnit he played some obscure bullshit and went on a philosophy doom spiral as a result… Again” My friends have banned me from playing Outer Wilds.

It’s over engineering and overpricing disguised as luxury. But I will admit I’d be perfectly happy with a Yugo or 1991 Fiat Polski, so I’m a tad bit biased against modern cars on that front. For example I’m currently fighting the carb on a 1984 Honda ct110, it’s being a bitch and stalling.

I feel you, I’m working on getting a 1984 Honda ct110 to stop being stupid and drive an 01 Tacoma, basically every car I’ve driven has been older than 2010 with a heavy bias towards early 00s and 90s and everything past that point deals psychic damage just looking at it. I don’t need cruise control and I sure as shit don’t need a fucken iPad mounted in the dash.

I could maybe see it being useful for maybe a combat vehicle, but even then it should be a wired connection IE the Goliath tracked mine. Mostly cause I can imagine a scenario wherein you may want to have a recovery vehicle to go get something or someone but may not want to risk losing additional people to do it.

But yeah broadly outside of some niche uses a remote controlled vehicle is just asking for problems.

Legit question, why the fuck do people seem to think government = a people? Like I fucken hate the English government, aristocracy, and royalty to the point I want to purge it but that doesn’t mean I want to exterminate the English as a whole. Is this a side effect of nation states? Or is it moreso a result of Israel in particular? Because I feel like I had folks accuse me of racism over hating certain governments and countries before namely N Korea, S Korea, and Russia but I don’t know if thats dishonesty or not.

I was referring to how ding dong ditch is less in the dickensesque category and more in the North American is this fine or a euphemism for a war crime category. Ding dong ditch could just as easily fall aling blow bang suck as it could along Willy Petes surprise.

Nah ding dong ditch runs closer to generally benign naming convention common in the English speaking areas of North America where it could be something benign or it’s something mildly horrific like Willy Pete (White Phosphorus) or Bouncing Betty (A type of land mine).

Yeah I was aware, just haven’t looked into into the local prehistoric environments of Arizona once the interior seaway ceased then there’s a gap until the last epoch give or take. Fun fact the original spreader species for avocados was a species of giant ground sloth.

Anyways it was just idle wondering from me, I find the history of local environmental conditions interesting. For example densely forested Crete or Scotland during early historical accounts but not within any modern periods.

Okay jokes aside was it even desert when the impact happened? Like I know of an impact in Germany that happened so long ago that Germany was a jungle.

Well that and also a lot of us North American ones can trace our culture back to the Unions of old and to a more abstract extent a Scottish striker group who were also called Rednecks, so we have that to take pride in really it’s mostly the boomers and Gen X who tarnished our name silent, greatest, and lost were proper feral and militant against the corporations at times. But yeah Redneckism is basically the inevitable end result of people being too smart, unwise, and not having enough money to do a job proper proper.

Heres the thing I don’t think there ever has been a unified American culture, as soon as assholes started to step off this boats there was already inevitable cultural divergences happening, for example the Massachusetts Puritans who were theocratically driven, the Marylanders who were driven by proto-secular ideals, and Valirginians who were economically driven. While the Mid-Atlandit and New England cultures did reconverge over the last century of so, Coastal Southern especially the rural variants is still noticeably divergent from the rest of the east coast.

Also I’m just gonna note that everything you listed is caused by top down economic pressures that are arguably on the verge of collapse. One of the things you have to factor into your analysis of American cultures is that all of them are subject to federal level pressures meaning that even the most communal cultures for example still have to participate in capitalism due to say taxes since that’s basically the only way to earn cash. I suspect once the feds collapse you’ll see a springtime of nations and the possible death of the Pan American amalgam culture, at least within the first 20 years or so.

While language influences culture and culture influences language they are not the same by any means. Plus within the last hundred years the US has become increasingly mono-lingual in favor of English, according to my great great aunt for example when she was a little girl her father would still speak to himself in a German dialect because German was his first language since he was from a German town. A lot of these minority languages have either naturally due to trade or whatnot or via force from the feds been on the decline or are now extinct some of which predated the founding of the US. A similar thing happened with a lot of regional dialects.

Also define so called high culture? Because frankly given how much of Europe once shared a Greco-Roman high culture irrespective of their own regional cultures I’m gonna call that a potential irrelevancy.
