With the half collared in faux fur. Agreed.

Also, a series of Lando weighted capes.

Where's my solo body warmer? My Aragorn wilds jacket or my fifth element tank top?

That makes sense. It hurts most from people you admire it have affinity with.

I don't think it's one or the other. Online gaming blends into in house gaming. It also depends what you play. Working cooperatively with three mates fighting the horde in Darktide is super social.

I ran a DND campaigns online and in person. Both are good.

The key thing is having a good network.

It's worth pointing out the Andrew Taint incel brigade are also snorting coke in your local.

Have you seen the women at larp? They are attractive AND actually fun.

Why go to the local sticky floor meat market, when you can bond with a man/woman over murdering goblins and solving plot??

This is also a generation where if you get smashed in public, it will be filmed and shared forever. Internet never forgets.

Gen X: Booze.
Gen Y: Coke.
Gen Z: Cup of tea thanks.

It depends. If this generation is more likely to play online games with their friends (that's what my kids do), cooperative games, getting together to play DnD in person and online? Etc.

Seems to me a much healthier social life than bar booze battering.

And socialising at home and online. Multiplayer games allow the violence without the um, violence.

I'm also seeing a really healthy pickup in dungeons and dragons, LARP etc. Roleplay, acting, violence by proxy. All whilst camping in a field, the devils!

Same, i have Neil O Brien, and he would have been more valued kept as a spad. Here's a creature of Gove and backed Badenoch. He's weak beer.

It's almost like there isn't the working population or growth big enough to pay public pensions AND pay billionaires.

A migrant did it, obvs 🫠
