Well, hopefully those wealthy millennials will enjoy their distractions, homes, and retirement while the rest of us are dropped into the industrial grinders they use to reclaim the nutrients from our bodies.
Come on now, you're making soylent green sound so industrial and devoid of feeling.
Boomers are starting to become homeless. Their kids the millennials will have it worse, as most millennials can't afford a starter home. Retirement will look like homelessness for many of them.
They will!
It is every citizen's final duty to go into the tanks, and become one with all the people.
Chairman Sheng-ji Yang
And for young people Super Smash Bros Melee will be as cool as bingo or canasta
I thought about this, but arthritis is a thing sadly. It's probably fine for non action games, but forget about playing smash
The older I get (40's now), the more I think about how I probably won't be able to fully enjoy video games like I thought i would. My vision which was always perfect is starting to show issues already, whenever I pick up a game I almost always nod off or fall asleep within an hour or 2 and almost nothing prevents it. My hands will sometimes lose sensation and I have to drop my hand down and stretch it to regain feeling... I feel like I'll be like that guy in the twilight zone who outlived everyone and was finally able to read all the books he ever wanted but then immediately stepped on his glasses.
Yeah smash destroys the hands of 30 years olds in the scene.
What I'm looking forward to in retirement is finally cracking into games like Dwarf Fortress, Factorio, and Caves of Qud
Fine, hearts of iron; all the survivors will be weird esoteric fascists by then anyway.
Don't forget about the commune of trans girls who will also weirdly be into Hearts of Iron and Warhammer 40k
The elderly millenial trans women will be weird esoteric fascists too, but most will have actually read theory and been outside, so orsers of magnitude weirder
Now you mention it, I would like to die taking some fascists with me, rather than from some suck ass old age pathology. Now I have way too much to loose, but in my old age, I'm going to be dead anyways, so why not. Maybe we see a rise in Luigis
Nah, screw the office. Make it scrubs instead.
Oh, yah. Millennials are going to be so different from every generation that existed before.
Nindendo games? Ew. I was thinking dungeons and dragons
I've thought about this a few times, and this sounds accurate to me.
Yep see you there!
The Office
The original or the USA copy though?
Apparently there are 13 different adaptations. I kinda like the Australian one.
Oh, I was only aware of the two. I’ll have to change my shitty joke.
Dude is gonna keep making new ai until they figure out one that will answer his questions the way he wants.
Someone should kick that losers ass
Oh sweet summer child... There isn't going to be many elderly millennials. Most of us will die off from our fifth "once in a generation" financial crisis, WW3, or the collapse of the environment. Hopefully the younger generations use our bones to build a better society.
Right?! I don't know any millennial whose retirement plan isn't just hitting a certain age and killing ourselves.
Hopefully the younger generations use our bones to build a better society.
Knowing people, they'll use them to bash each other in the face, more likely...
A major problem is that the demographics for Millennial retirement are a lot worse than for Boomers. Boomers at least had a decent number of millennials to help support them in retirement.
Oh my God not this birthrate bullshit.
Birthrates aren't down by much globally. Just learn a language and don't be a piece of shit to the rest of the world.
Maybe rationalize labor practices and add some automation while you're at it.
What's really gonna stop us retiring is climate change
