Well, they're not known for not being hypocrites.

Being that deep, they'll die of hypothermia before the oxygen runs out.

This clown lost. I guess that's worth something.

Not much, but something.

It's not age related. It's generational.

You're at the end of Gen X (as am I), meaning most of the women of your age group that you're probably dating didn't really grow up around video games and probably still see them as a wasteful, childish pastime, which was the general, parochial view of our parents' generation about our hobbies. (Sure, endlessly watch people play sports on television but never waste your time doing something you personally enjoy.)

Meanwhile, those even a few years younger than us grew up in a generation where more and more girls grew up with video games, have a more personal relationship with them, and understand the value of the hobby. That's only increased with time.

My own wife, who is at the older end of the Millenials, grew up playing video games with her younger brothers but never had any real affinity for them. She's never particularly cared about my gaming (something I do now with my daughter), though she's never taken interest in playing anything herself.

Ultimately, you'll probably just have to choose a better class of date.

Honestly, I mostly used desktop and the official app sometimes (mostly while I was watching TV, like right now). I don't think I'd realized there were third party apps, otherwise I would have been using one before all this mess.

There's also tools you can use to make local downloads of your LJ posts. I did that with all of mine, so I have them stored away as a series of per-month html files of all my posts.

True, though that's also the UK. They probably have a different attitude toward games than I'm used to and have any experience with. I'm mostly speaking from the viewpoint of different generations in American culture. There's still a certain amount of viewing gaming as a wasteful pastime with no value that permeates multiple cultures even to this day.

This seems on-brand for Villa Rica.
