I'm still salty about Westwood.

I'd say a bit earlier than that personally (wife and I agree that 28 is around that sweet spot). Old enough to have independence and chill out, but young enough that you don't randomly end up with a headache all damn day because you slept slightly wrong.

The optimal age is 28. It's late enough that you may at least be hitting a stride professionally (though don't stress too much if you're not), you've chilled out a bit from your earlier 20's, and your body (generally) hasn't begun to betray you yet.

Loooved Dungeon Keeper back in the day.

To preface: this is from a previous bout of hyper focus curiosity (i.e. I am not an expert). But the human genome is significantly more complex than "XX chromosome means biological female". Other genomic markers can trigger that don't align with the typical, which can result in male reproductive organs on a person with XX chromosome and vice versa. XX and XY are also not the only options. There are three, four, and even five somal groupings (e.g. XXY, XYY, XXX - note that to my understanding, you can't have all Y chromosomes even in these outliers). If anyone has further information or any corrections for me, I'd welcome them - I'm going off of memory from a couple of years ago and it's not directly relevant to me (i.e. I am cis-male with no known chromosomal abnormalities)

They felt like it? Their brain worded the thought using "his or her"?

On top of that, many people will see a Mennonite and think "Amish."

I think it could serve that purpose (and honestly has to some degree), but the big thing that I didn't consider when I was young was that a lot of people just want to hate (or to convince others to be focused on hate), and will find spaces to spread and amplify that hate. I underestimated the capacity and drive of those that would spread fear and anger.

If it makes you feel any better, when I was young, I thought the Internet would bring the world together since you could sit and have a conversation with people all over the world with different perspectives, and befriending those from different walks of life would help break us out of small-town small-mindedness where everyone "not like us" is scary...

Yeah, I might have been a bit too optimistic with that one.

Bopl Battle is a hilarious party game for up to 4 people. The rounds go really quick so it's a great game to play with friends when you have a limited amount of time, but the fun doesn't wear out fast either.

Dude I loved that game back in the day. So many great mods for it too

Pretty sure people have been shitting on AI pretty heavily as well, partly for those reasons (but also for several others).
