I believe the reason he got fired from SNL was he kept making OJ Simpsons jokes and one of the top NBC execs was friends with OJ. Not quite the same thing as a public outcry, but I’m not sure of any bigger controversy regarding Norm.

No, it’s named after the cereal

Yes. I’m sorry, not yes, I meant the other one, no.

I was a huge Iced Earth fan before that day. Fuck that guy.

I thought his most famous one was a portrait of himself being sad in the shower

Well he’s always been a notorious asshole, but he’s been publicly saying especially stupid shitty things since, well, since Obama was elected President.

Yeah. Megadeth

No

People that we want to follow that went to threads instead of mastodon

“This game MIGHT end up being controversial. We’re just going to act like it already is.”

Again…what have they said about this game so far that you think is a lie?

As far as I know all they’ve really said so far is “this is going to be a huge and epic game!” And people already seem to be like “oh boy another lie”

Has he even said anything yet about this game that sounds unbelievable? I feel like people are getting preemptively angry.

Lol this all started because you made things about your own specific narrow point of view

Yes and most if not all of those landed on console too. Your point?

What’s your point? If a game came out on console, it doesn’t matter that it was ever an arcade game?

I’m saying for millennials, the notion of video games had shifted from primarily arcade to primarily console due to the console boom in the 90s

Speaking as millennial in the 90’s, this is untrue. I, and most of my millennial friends played games on consoles, in arcades, and even on PC! If a game came out in arcades, and later came to consoles, it is still an arcade game. It doesn’t suddenly not become an arcade game because it’s been released elsewhere.

Also, do you seriously not know about Street Fighter 2? This is the biggest takeaway that you are not a millennial. The 90’s had a HUGE arcade boom with fighting games. Arcades were filled with fighting games, and the most popular games would have multiple units and still have long lines of people waiting to play. This was a huge part of gaming in the 90’s as millennials. There’s a reason why people wanted to play Street Fighter 2 so much when it came out on SNES: it was already extremely popular in arcades! At this point I feel like you are deliberately trying to troll, and like the idiot I am, I’m just taking the bait.

thus supporting OP’s point that Millenials should remember a time when games are not pay-to-win.

Again, I am a millennial who played beat ‘em ups in arcades a lot. They were very popular Those games are straight up pay to win. Yes they came out on consoles too, but a) those versions weren’t as good, therefore b) the arcade versions were still more popular

These generations are defined by date ranges and not something I made up.

Whoops! My bad. Millennials started in 1981 and I was born in 1980. Guess I was never a millennial after all except the years keep changing and I’ve seen start dates of 1980, 1979, and 1978 as well. It’s hard to keep track when the date keeps changing.

So yes, it is entirely possible that the oldest of the old Millennials might be arcade crawling at age 8 or 9 in the 80s

Ok, now I gotta ask; are you an alien? Because most human children begin walking within the first 2 years. 8 or 9 year olds usually don’t need to crawl

but a whole bunch more of them are still in diapers or not even born yet.

Hmm, it’s almost like the experiences of everyone with a generation aren’t all exactly the same.

I was around in the 90’s. I downloaded the Doom shareware (and many others) from either the internet or local BBS’s in like, 1994.

I don’t see any reason for me to use Linux

The annoying thing I’m discovering is people insisting that millennials were all children in the early 2000’s, when, if millennials start with 1980 as I’ve been told (and it does seem to keep changing), a lot of millennials were adults before the 2000’s even started.

They might as well has asked “what was it like for you growing up?” because everyone’s just posting their own experiences and insisting their entire generation was exactly the same.

So do millennials. There were a lot of really popular arcade beat ‘em ups in the 90’s. People claiming to be millennials who deny that are lying about one thing or another.
