  • I swear to fsm I have no idea what this modern incarnation of the game is about.

    My only exposure is playing one time about 20 years ago or something?

    It had just come out, my buddy was breathless about how you could have sex with a hooker and then beat her and take your money back.

    He loaned me his copy, I played it for 30 minutes, I was like why would anyone want to play this. And I put it down.

    Prior to that I had played the top down sprite based one which I thought was okay.

    You are assuming that my experience is limited to youth crisis.

    I have 11 years of experience working in addiction,… My response to your cynicism is this… You can only truly understand the scope of the greater issues on all levels … And with all generations, once you’ve worked in the field. And it helps to have lived experience.

    Edit: oh yeah I know, I’ll up vote the uninformed opinion, and I’ll downvote the person who works in the field and is an educated and trained and expert /s

    I don’t want to have an automatic yeah no yeah no back and forth with you but… I suspect I’m much older than you and I can attest here that most people, even in professional roles, were hammered all day. They were as “functional” as this current generation is on ridiculous amounts of weed, psychedelics, and uppers… That is to say, not as functional as they could be. There’s no “what’s worse” contest here; the choice of drug doesn’t change the underlying issue. I’m a recovered addict and I work in the field of addiction so I’m speaking from the heart.

    The piper is coming. No I’m not defending alcohol, but the level of drug addiction among our young people is shocking. The amount of digital addiction is shocking. I work in youth crisis so I am not talking on my ass, most young people are addicts now. So it’s all fun to talk down about boomers who drank but holy fuck is this generation ever screwed.
