some random chinese investment conglomerate will buy the xbox brand in 6 years. book it.


edit: the above is like when I handed my then two year old son my DS to distract him for 10 minutes and he handed it to me saying it was broken... He opened the hinge far past it's limit 

The brand is for sale but I don't see the chinese buying it.
Frankly, I don't see anyone buying it. A high overhead market with falling revenues? No one is signing up for that.

China buys EVERYTHING bro.

Maybe just let him hold a stick and throw a ball towards his way*? Revolutionary idea, I know.


(* - this may involve going outside)

But then they might not turn into a clone, which is the only way they'll have a father-son relationship. You cruel monster.

China didn't get to be China by buying dead brands.

XBOX ain't nearly dead bro. Also look at the billions of potential customers they have sitting there waiting to get some type of modern entertainment.

Far be it from me to extol the virtues of the parenting I received, but my fucking nerdbooger parents managed to squeeze in sports and institutional homophobia Boy Scouts in between reading me highly age inappropriate books and talking to me like I had a Master's Degree at age 4. The fuck is OP doing to his kids.

None of us have friends. Just geographically convenient acquaintances.

I don't understand how somebody in their 20's? 30's? can have no friends at all. either they are super socially awkward or complete douches.

[I'm a Puppy!]

I gotta admit my friends tend to live in other states we all moved apart. Though we're still good friends.
I have people I work with. But really where I live I'm not around that much to be able to make friends.

 

[Shadow Mod]

Making friends is easy.

It's finding a bestie that's hard.

[Mr. Gundam]

I'm in my early 30s and I've had the same core group of friends for over ten years now. Still see them on a regular basis.

Two things: It's possible to still enjoy gaming with your kids and raise them right with a balance of books and athletics. Mario Kart 8 with the kids 

Second, you say Boy Scouts was institutional homophobia? For me Boy scouts was a journey from one homo-erotic experience to another.

[Shadow Mod]

I'd make sure my kids do less games and more outside. Pretty sure video games and computers wrecked my eyes.

Holy shit!

[octopushover]

i'd make my kids pull a covered wagon like clydesdales and then i'd sit in the covered wagon and play mario and pretend it was the best thing ever while they took me places, so they would grew up hating nintendo, italian men and their father.

[cosmicblizzard]

Only got 2 friends that I see on a regular basis (they're my tenants/roommates) and a few others I see like once a week, but they're pretty awesome.  Got a bunch of other ones scattered all over the place that I really only see at events.  Had like a billion acquaintances in college, but that was mostly by association due to living with a super social army guy.  I think I'm happier now with my smaller core group of friends.

[Rufus]

You're still in university though. Once you're surrounded by family men and people that commute (or you're the one commuting) that might change.

Bet you some people in that thread are in Uni though.

There's really no excuse to not have friends in Uni. Like honestly. No excuse.

Gaffers are kind of creepy though the way some revel in being completely antisocial and sociopathic.

Meh they like to be like "Oh yeah, I love being antisocial! I'm totally fine being a sociopath! It's just the way I am. I'm happy like this!"

See man, them 20 somethings who never went outside are starting to have a voice...and it sings horrible songs of being forever alone and shit.

Hell they don't treat women like shit, they treat each other like shit because they were all mommy's little angels. Sad.

Bad parenting for the loss.

I'd like to line up all of them and smack them all.

 

You mark my words...living at home in your 30's will be a thing for this generation. It's going to be common. And I don't mean the omg I got a divorce people nor the I lost my job crew....I mean the I never physically left my home group.

The fucked up part is you're the "privileged" asshole and some kind of social butterfly if you remark about how self-inflicted all that stuff is and that therapy/challenging yourself is the only way out of that hole.

I work with people with disabilities and helping them develop appropriate social skills. With that said, you can't always use them as a crutch for bad behavior.

Pretty sure it's the same guy who keeps getting banned then reappearing and spamming low content posts. Previously had an account named Halo 2, forgot the others.

It doesn't help that there's a "I won't drink" dynamic in this lot.

I've said it before, I'll say it again; if you don't drink and/or use drugs, I can't trust you.

Totally. My youngest is autistic. And I often get the comments of "Wow, he's such a happy and polite kid, you wouldn't think he was autistic!"

I'm like "I said he's autistic, not an asshole."

You probably then can't trust me. I barely drink (like seriously like once or twice a month) and have never done drugs.
Probably a wise rule considering.

[CatsCatsCats]

Never? Why, don't you trust yourself? Did an addict abuse you?

Absolutely no interest in drugs. Don't judge others unless it's hardcore fucked up shit.

Spence meets someone for the first time. He firmly shakes their hand after being introduced, then shouts in their face, "ARE YOU A FUCKING COP?"

What would a Mormon need a penis for anyway?

Can't drink for medical reasons and never been on any drugs unless ADHD medication counts.  Been doing pretty fine.

so many people i knew that were in boy scouts were gay

[CatsCatsCats]

It's not like I actually won't associate with people who do neither, it's just crazy to me; shows either a fear of not having control or lack of experiential curiosity. Or maybe cowardice or closed mindedness.
