A little less than a third of people voted for it. A little less than a third against it. A little more than a third didn't vote. There was no majority here. I don't get this "you wanted this, so duck you, enjoy the consequences" response. A third of us fought against this. Our kids don't deserve a hell scape because boomers are gullible.

I was going to comment harvest moon after reading the title!

A lot of the older games for me. They're just a lot harder. Like maybe they expect you to be willing to replay an area or a level over and over, getting a little farther each time until you beat it and I just don't have the stamina for that anymore, or the time.

Newer games baby you, they increase the difficultly perfectly along side your ability growth. They might even make a level easier if you've failed twice. Older games don't care if you're having fun as much. There was less competition (fewer game choices) and more of a "gamers like this. If you don't like it, you're not a gamer" attitude, and now games want to attract everyone.

I have become such a baby about games. I want to have fun the whole time! I can't handle failing over and over. I'd rather just read a book.

Yeah, she "begrudgingly" voted for Trump, just like the people you're talking about. My parents on the other hand, lifelong Republicans, voted Harris. Sure "not all Republicans" but it is all the ones who voted for Trump. There's no excuse for them to have voted for him the second time. I am sympathetic to Republicans who held their nose and voted red the first time, but it's a different party now.

All Republicans. My idiot sister. She's like "I watched it" as if that's proof it wasn't? If the white superiority groups are applauding your actions, you're in the wrong. That quieted her down but it didn't change her mind. She thinks we're all over reacting.
