And for young people Super Smash Bros Melee will be as cool as bingo or canasta

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

Oh, yah. Millennials are going to be so different from every generation that existed before.

[-] leftthegroup@lemmings.world 2 points 6 hours ago

I've thought about this a few times, and this sounds accurate to me.

[-] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 hours ago

Yep see you there!

Retirement?

[-] GooberEar@lemmy.wtf 29 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago

Come on now, you're making soylent green sound so industrial and devoid of feeling.

It is every citizen's final duty to go into the tanks, and become one with all the people.

Jim sucks and is an office bully.

We're watching Futurama, fellow olds.

[-] Sergio@slrpnk.net 19 points 1 day ago

I had the full run of the The Office on video. I had video editing software. I had it all planned out, how I was going to edit out 90% the Jim scenes from The Office, so I could play the whole thing on loop without intro or outro or the worst parts of the last two seasons.

Then I stared in the mirror for a long time and I was like: wtf am I doing with my life? And I haven't watched The Office since.

fuckin screencapped

[-] BakerBagel@midwest.social 9 points 1 day ago

Futurama has good science and absurdists jokes, but there is a LOT on Futurama that has not aged well at all, especially from a gender and sexuality standpoint.

[-] RheumatoidArthritis@mander.xyz 7 points 1 day ago

This conversation here is what the retired millennials are going to be doing, incapable of choice

Perfect! We can do discourse!

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 4 points 19 hours ago

Elder fight clubs where we all beat up the MAGA millennials.

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.

[-] hansolo@lemmy.today 28 points 1 day ago

On top of the fact that you need to have saved money to pay to live in a retirement home.

Are... Are there people that sort of really hope to just go from their patents' basement to a retirement home?

[-] Monster96@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Well if they bothered to submit those patents instead of leaving them in the basement then they might be able to live in a retirement home

Right?! I don't know any millennial whose retirement plan isn't just hitting a certain age and killing ourselves.

[-] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 2 points 1 day ago

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

Nindendo games? Ew. I was thinking dungeons and dragons

[-] ObtuseDoorFrame@lemm.ee 61 points 1 day ago

It's extremely unlikely that social security will still exist by the time we're old enough to retire, so retirement will be yet another thing reserved for the rich.

Unless you live in a civilized country (not the US) in which case enjoy your retirement you lucky bastard.

[-] Impound4017@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago

I just hope that the current crisis in the US is a hallmark of the downfall of American capitalism and that the status quo can change long term. Remains to be seen if that’d be good or bad, though.

[-] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

We have a collection of millennials and Gen z at our retirement home as staff. (Ofc)

We joke about this but it is put in place by us saying we'd also have to be picking up shifts to even live there. It would have to be a sort of inmates running the asylum situation because we're all working til we're in the ground.

[-] josefo@leminal.space 6 points 1 day ago

I thought about this, but arthritis is a thing sadly. It's probably fine for non action games, but forget about playing smash

[-] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 5 points 20 hours ago

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.

[-] Donkter@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] faercol 1 points 6 hours ago

Don't forget about the commune of trans girls who will also weirdly be into Hearts of Iron and Warhammer 40k

[-] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 hours ago

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

[-] josefo@leminal.space 3 points 1 day ago

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

[-] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 10 points 1 day ago

Nah, screw the office. Make it scrubs instead.

[-] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

And again everyone forgot about GenX, just the way we like it 😆

[-] nickiwest@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

I'll be listening to Nirvana and playing Symphony of the Night in my room. You're welcome to come down the hall to hang out any time.

[-] Sergio@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 day ago

"Meh."

My Gen Z cousin had zero respect for me til they PvP'd me on an old-school Street Fighter arcade machine.

[-] tamiya_tt02@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Maybe The Elder Scrolls 7 or Grand Theft Auto 7 will be out by the time I retire. Probably not. Weird that both those games have their 6th installments coming out next.

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 day ago

Zoomers dabbing in their retirement homes whilst their cloned grandkids look on in cringed puzzlement

Finally I can max out my Runescape character!

MTX so crazy in RS now (RS3) that you’ll likely have to pay to move every click by then
