What is with millennials and being adult-children?

Millennials are basically the new middle-aged demographic and I don't think I have ever seen a generation have such a prolific issue with arrested development and adult-children running around. It seems like I am always seeing middle-aged millennials who basically refused to grow up that are still as immature as teenagers. Gen Xers seemed to be a lot better about growing up and even zoomers seem like they are more willing to grow up and be mature.

Because everything sucks now. Not saying I agree with childlike behavior, but what real reason is there to grow up?

Imagine being a responsible adult but you still cant afford rent on your own, you can't buy a house, childcare is crazy high, etc. Men used to be men because they had access to good paying jobs and women were reasonable. They now know the juice isnt worth the squeeze so they stay home playing videogames.

Millennials cant be adults because they dont have adult things.

There's definitely some truth there. Gen X was raised by the silent generation, millennials were raised by boomers, and gen Z was raised by gen X. So knowing how notoriously "progressive" boomers have been, I guess millennials are the end result of their parenting and ideals. Seeing how boomers are the worst generation of old people, I guess it shouldn't be a surprise how their offspring are the worst generation of middle-aged adults.

Yeah I can understand this on a silent quitting standpoint, like people just giving up on being a productive member so society, but it doesn't really explain why they are so fucking immature. Who knows, maybe it does because many of them never really took on real adult lifestyles and responsibilities, but I still see a lot of people who apparently have that still act way too immature for their age.

When the misc came back I thought I would keep up the Xbox fan routine that people here knew me for, at least for a bit. Fact is a lot has changed since bodybuilding.com shut down the OG misc over a year ago. The truth is, I am no longer an Xbox fan. If anyone were to ask me what consoles I would recommend today, my answer would simply be PS5 Pro and Switch 2.

So some of you might be asking "how could this happen?" Well, Microsoft going full retard with Xbox is what happened. Me being a fan of Xbox back in the day was never an act, I was genuinely a fan of the platform and the games they were producing. I had my reasons and I simply stuck by my genuine thoughts and feelings regardless of how much hate that might have attracted. But that was then and this is now. Now, my Series X is a console where I only have a handful of games installed that could be considered AAA Xbox games. Most of my installed library, well that's become mostly AA games, older games that have been FPS boosted, and 360 classics. My PS5 Pro is now by far my primary console and where I buy all my games this gen if I can.

I just can't standby and support Microsoft or Xbox anymore. Windows 11 has been a disaster and my only Windows PC's now are running Windows 10. My current main desktop PC is a Mac Mini I bought last year. I used to be a mac guy back in the day but turned away from them for about the past decade, only to come back because I now consider Mac OS to be the vastly superior option. I have heard a saying that there's no bigger haters than people who used to be the biggest fans and that seems to be true because I honestly have a fuck Microsoft and Xbox attitude these days.

Everything they are doing with their pricing, hardware, services, and software lately has shown off how bad their leadership is right now. They used to make games that genuinely appealed to me, back when the PS4 was known for it's cinematic action games and walking simulators Xbox was pumping out numerous Forza games that genuinely appealed to my interests. Now, Forza Motorsport is dead due to how badly they fucked up the latest one, and Turn 10 isn't even recognizable anymore. In fact just about all of their development studios feel ruined by this point, and the games Microsoft has been producing lately have been failing to appeal to me at all.

I think Forza Horizon 6 is the one and only Xbox game I can give a shit about since the old misc closed and I am not even hyped about it, and I don't even think I will buy this one on Xbox when it releases. My plan is to wait for it to release on PS5 and buy it there. No doubt Sony isn't perfect, I have my complaints with them, but overall they are looking fantastic when I compare the two right now. Things are so bad over at Xbox that I not only downgraded my Xbox Game Pass to the basic entry level "Core" subscription after their latest price hikes, but that is about to expire and I am just going to let it expire, sticking to PS+ Essential and NSO Expansion for my only gaming subscriptions going forward.

So there you have it. Times change and people change, and that is definitely true for me when it comes to the gaming scene. I know when it comes to many of the regulars around here we have had our disagreements, even hated each other at times, but I consider that water under the bridge. I have moved on, and I would like to spend my time here being genuine, and I hope we can share our passion for video games together getting along. Lets bring this community back and make it better than ever.

Bruh this isn't healthy. Your life shouldn't revolve around chasing me around this forum with some weird vendetta where all you do is derail any thread I am in. You really need to get a life. The fact that you are so obsessed with me, jay350, and attacking me like this tells me you must really have no life and nothing going on.

Like WTF did he do to you to hurt you like this? You have a years long obsession. Shits weird. Couldn't imagine obsessing over someone like this who didn't personally wrong me significantly IRL, even then I think I would have moved on by now.

I brought up the subject of immature middle-aged adult-children here, well case and point.

Spam more reaction gifs, totally doesn't establish yourself as some terminally online immature loser.

How old are you by the way? Where is your family? (willing to bet I will never get answers to these questions, but we all know the true answer)

You make fun of people for being middle aged, well how old are you? You make fun of people for not having their own family, well where is your wife and kids?

Typical millenial adult-child behavior on display here. Name any other demographic that would act the way gwg77 does in his 40's.

It's hilarious when you expose one of these LARPing rats. They come here under a new name with old grudges and attack everybody and talk shit. So of course they have a target on their back and when they get blasted they get all butt hurt and cry. You cant start threads and expect them not to get derailed by people shitting on you.

You call people larping rats while you have absolutely refused to tell anyone who you really are and what your original account was here.

Irony. You're under a new name and your butt hurt that people are pointing at your old name. This is exactly why people hate your guts and piss in your mouth because you're a hypocritical piece of shit

Uhh not until you started to make accusations against me, and many users have asked you who you really are but you always refused to answer.

That and I have seen you demand old handles before, anyone who is familiar with you would know that's a blatant lie.

That was just a joke and I really didn't give a shit but I find it funny how you showed up in minutes just to post in a marathon about how upset you were when I supposedly did that to you.

Literal adult-child behavior on display here. This is a grown man in his 40's.

But you just said I'm posting different users from different forums? And then I caught you lying again, so now you were just joking?

JayJ, you make this too easy.

Look I know you got nothing better to do than fight with people on the internet all day every day and spam emotional reaction gifs but that isn't how I want to live my life.

Fact remains that I posted a generalized thread about millennials being adult-children and you took that as a personal attack. So no matter what you say, no amount of your bullshit can get past how deep down you know you're a failed joke of a grown man.

I expect you to spam more bullshit after this, as you have to always get the last word in, like a true manchild.

I know you have an extremely low IQ, but when did I take this thread as a personal attack? Did you not see how my first reply agreed with your OP? Are you retarded?
