I think mostly because it was unexpected for his age, usually questions like that came from much older people and it was surprising to me that someone barely older than me didn’t understand web based email. He seemed like a smart competent dude, so it was just not an answer my brain was ready for. Laughing might not be the best gauge for anything for me, laughing is also my fear response.

This is probably my favorite game, it’s going through a rough patch right now because development had halted for about a year and was then sold to another company last year who are still in the process of transferring everything over. I’m hoping for new development within another year because it’s an awesome game, but it’s been stagnant for a long time. It’s not on sale, but they’ve discussed a lower price for it openly after they get things rolling. We’ll see.
I sold computers at best buy for a few years around a decade ago, and this particular experience burned itself into my brain:
Me: introduce myself, ask what he was looking for Guy in his 30s: wants to look at chromebooks Me: tries finding out what he’s using it for to make sure it’ll be enough Guy: web browsing mostly, asks me if he can get his email on it Me: yeah no problem, what email client do you use now Guy: Gmail
It was hard to not laugh, but I am reminded of this when I think of the average person’s technical ability.

Rimworld. It’s the only other one I can think of that people play for insane hours, it’s still my most played game and I’ve barely touched it in a long while, I think I have 1400ish, my boyfriend has over 3.5k hours

I mostly use it for silly things or to give me ideas, and I might try it if we get back into running a game in foundry vtt because the macro I had it test generate messing around looked like it should work fine and I’m lazy
But I can’t imagine using it for serious stuff ever. Maybe in a few years.
Complaints about rgb are always odd to me because you can just turn it off if you dislike it. Even really cheap items without software have an “off” in the color cycles.
As a 38 year old woman I want rgb everything, my entire computer rainbows and I love it
Haha I absolutely loved Lexx because it was so weird. I cried so hard when it ended, but I was a strange perverted teenage girl so 🤷♀️
