  • My crappy basement apartment with my two older brothers and 3 separate phone lines just for playing Ultima Online, then Everquesst.

    I missed a phone interview with Sony Online Entertainment, because I was too busy playing Asheron’s Call to get off the dial-up connection. Having an unlimited access plan through my work really was bad. Especially when my job blocked every website based on my job searches because they wanted me to stay working the support line graveyard shift.








  • Same here. My dad was hard left hippie, but the step-mom was far right racist from Oregon. I ended up with half my family in Gen X, with me and my little brother as millennial.

    But, most of us dropped further anarchist than just liberal. I think it all comes down to money. All of my family are still as poor or poorer than we were growing up.

    Only when people become wealthy as they grow up really become more conservative I think.
