Speaking of Baldur's Gate, I own the original versions of Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 from gog.com. Purchased them a while ago before gog was forced to take these down, and they're still in my gog library. Now only the "Enhanced Edition" versions from Beamdog are available to purchase. While not terrible versions, some people hate the changes Beamdog made to the UI and NPC scripts. A "feature" I didn't care for is how they locked the game's resolution to whatever resolution you set in Windows.

The first time I had like 70 hours into the game and then my hard drive died. I was so pissed. I tried to play through it again like 4 years later then somehow my savegames got corrupted and I threw in the towel.

People are going crazy over this girl group going to coachella. I don't get it. If they were replicants in the Blade Runner universe, on a kick-murder squad, and they got retired, I'd be less moved than I was when Zhora got it. She was a more empathetic character.

The Anti-SJW thing has led to all kinds of channels jumping on the bandwagon and some "Anti-Anti-SJW" channels have risen up to challenge some of these people . Three Arrows seems to be one of the better ones

This happened almost 6 years ago now, but it's still one of the craziest things I've ever seen:
The things the city prosecutor says to this guy are unbelievable, at one point he actually compares their small town and police department to the movie Deliverance. The guy was within his rights the whole time and the charges against him were dismissed. I think this video actually shook up this small Texas town, I remember articles about the police chief and the city prosecutor both getting fired in the months that followed. Basically they were trying to throw the book at this guy to protect the cops, and the prosecutor didn't like that this guy knew his rights and due process.
If you are ever driving through Texas, beware of small towns like this one. Although if this guy had just shown his drivers license at the beginning instead of exercising his rights, he probably could've avoided this whole thing and been on his way within a few minutes.

Imagine being a 15 year old girl and having the hairline of a 40 year old man.

That was my take away. The cops were dicks for sure but when I'm dealing with the police I just kinda smile and move on. Sometimes people go out intentionally trying to get into a conflict with the cops but I don't think this guy was at all. I grew up on this military base and I managed to stumble onto this video a while back. This dude intentionally went to a military base trying to cause a scene to "prove his constitutional rights" or something. Really obnoxious IMO

The snowflake phenomenon could have something to do with the fact that a large portion of those generations (millennials and forward) were overly coddled by their parents and the schools ("safe zones", etc)... and/or they were raised by games/smartphones/electronics. Therefore, given their unconventional upbringing, they never learned how to deal with other people at the adult level.

This critic is basing his SJW analysis on the hero of the movie (Parzival) and conveniently overlooking other key characters. The movie presents its warning/criticism of geek culture in the older white dudes who founded the VR world (the "Oasis"). i.e. their broken friendship over petty differences (and perhaps greed), being a recluse/hermit, and not having the balls to pursue his love. The hero Parzival ultimately becomes victorious, not solely through his knowledge of geek culture, but also by studying the past relationships and failures of the older white dudes. By the end of the film, he gains understanding of the (geek/social loser) mistakes made by the old white dudes and vows to not repeat those mistakes (even directly stating this to his girl). Of course, some of the criticism is true, especially in regards to cringe worthy moments. Such as, Parzival telling the girl he loves her despite not knowing her for long and never having met in the real world.
