I bring up that date because that was 20 years ago now. So people who have been gaming since then are old enough to have not only been born into gaming, but have kids of their own that they may be raising into gaming now.

For me, I've noticed I've stopped craving difficulty in games entirely and am even somewhat turned off by it. Instead I care not only for more story-driven stuff and games with greater world focus, but games where I get to make notable impacts in the world and lives of those around me on a more... basic... level. So something like helping a friend set up a shop or helping someone overcome depression and ending up marrying them appeal to me far more than 'DEFEAT THE TERRORIST FORCES!' type stuff. Heck, I remember playing Stanley Parable a few days ago and taking a keen interest in the employee lounge for no other reason than to wonder if the employees actually liked the lounge or not (if they ever existed at all). Compared to my teen self who would have been all about tackling some massive boss, would have refused to play a female character because 'that's gay', and such... No way would I have guessed I would effectively end up as the quiet kind who prefers hunting down 100 random doodads across the entire map (and prefers playing as female characters whenever possible for no other reason than because I like to), it's practically an entire 180. I'm now faaaar more prone to play Gas Station Simulator than something like CoD.

What about you guys? What changes have you noticed or habits you've seen change?

Last I checked, oil isn't a renewable resource, isn't being made currently, and can't even be, say, mined off-world in a hypothetical since it's all organic. So once it gets used up it's gone for good. According to Google that will be in about 50 years or so, but I don't know how reliable that answer is. So... what happens when that happens and the final drop is pulled from the ground?

If the pre-set characters had to have a different class than the ones they come with, what class would you suggest? Conversely, what would be the worst fit for their starting class (I know a lot of people will say Lae'zel as a Selunite Cleric just to torment poor Shadowheart)? Spoilers because this can extend to Minthara, Jaheria, and Minsc.

Adding NSFW since this is an adult topic even if I'm not intenting to be explicit. Technically speaking it's not impossible for her to have completed the River romance just before taking down 'saka tower and deciding to give her body to Johnny, only for the actual fertilization to happen after the fact; or for her to simply not have known at the time. But regardless, if Val got pregnant via River, but had given her body to Johnny, what would Johnny do?

Pretty straight forwards question.

An anti-twist being when a game seems set up perfectly to deliver a twist in the plot, only to proceed to not do so. EX: The hero... is actually a hero through and through. They aren't secretly evil or the antagonist or something and the one time they were hostile to you it was a legit mistake or something similar. They're good people.

To be clear, in this question the sword is, indeed, 100% Excalibur and was pulled from the stone. No one else can remove it except for the kid. This kid is a British citizen but holds no relation to the royal family at all. What would happen?

Well, would you still love them if they were a wyrm?

I know it isn't anywhere near as physical as what boys do, but I also know it happens. So what happens and how do girls bully other girls in school? Is there any way to stop it or at least know if a daughter is being bullied?

What was the big status symbol among the local kids back when you were a kid? The best Pokemon card? Light up sneakers? What made you the cool kid of the school? Cut off age of 14.

Like, did extra virgin olives spend their days locked in their rooms playing with transformers and watching anime? Did non-virgin olive oil have a very romantic evening with the farmer in the back of their ford at lookout point? What's the difference?

I have had epilepsy since I was roughly 16-22ish. It's hard to say for a variety of reasons. Either way, the thought of asking this question only occured to me just now, despite me being in my later 30's. When I have a siezure, especially a petite mal, I've known I can act in strange ways. Asking weird questions and doing non-sensical things. One of the things I've found myself doing when I'm having an episode is ask various girls I know if they want to do things like marry me as well as say some hurtful things to people I consider close friends or the like. Previously I've written it off as me acting without any thought or reason. After all, I don't know some girl I barely interact with online beyond knowing she's a girl, so why would I want to spend my life with her? But at the same time I can't deny I do feel lonely at times and having a romantic partner at my side would, obviously, help with that. So my fear is that the things I'm saying/doing are how I 'truely feel' and normally I filter it out but when I'm having an episode I lack said filter and the 'truth' comes out. Not to mention if I ever do get lucky enough to find a woman willing to marry me, how will she feel about me potentially asking some rando girl to become my wife as well; especially if there's even a hint it might be 'true'? So I'm curious to know how likely it is that any of these weird acting outs during a petite/grand mal have any actual weight behind them or if they're closer to random nonsense that just happened to be coherent?

I don't think any nation in the world even has the tech to attempt such a thing yet; but hypothetically what would happen if a nation tried to drop an asteroid on an enemy nation?
