What does Taylor Swift have in common with a group of improv comedians pretending to be wizards? They can both sell out Madison Square Garden (... and
As a late Gen-xer this is so weird to me... I can still remember hiding this from adults in Texas that called it a satanic game. Now it's selling tickets in a legendary boxing arena. Is this what boomers feel? A mixture of shock and disconnection with pinch of resentment...
I'm a very early Gen Z and I feel like a boomer lol
I do nerd things alone at home or maybe with a friend or two. DnD live shows, people traveling to play/watch e-sports... It's all so foreign to me. I don't feel resentment, but shock and disconnection are always present when I read headlines such as these. Like, I wouldn't dream in a million years to pay money to watch someone else play DnD, but then again, video game streamers exist. I can't wrap my head around this!
And just to be clear, I'm not bashing the people enjoying this form of content. I'm just expressing my disbelief at the fact that it exists at all. If I didn't know better, and saw something like this in a movie, I would call it fake and detached from reality. When in fact, I'm the one detached from my generation. Then again, I don't have any social media and I'm writing my thoughts on Lemmy, so I'm clearly not an example of what my generation looks like.
there are an awful lot of nerds and geeks in NYC. part of why halloween is so fun here!
The Dimension 20 crew and cast are great, really happy for them.
