Comment on NBC News Does Entire Piece Trying To Link CEO Shooting To ‘Violent Video Game’

  It’s rock music. It’s “reefer madness”. Then it’s metal music with satanic messaging when played backwards. Now it’s video games. Same old blame game while never tackling the actual problems of lack of psych care, real societal pressures like financial difficulties, and more.

    I mean aside from LSD being introduced by the CIA into the public, everything else the government tries to blame someone else.

  Boomers’ children are grown ass adults with their own kids now. Those parents are the ones who grew up playing games. This dumbass narrative doesn’t play anymore

    I’m talking about boomer parents. In respects to the millennial parents, of course they are laughing at this shit (or I would hope so)

      Boomers are the parents of Gen X kids.
      What you’re saying doesn’t make any sense.

  My parents didn’t let me buy any shooter games other than jet force gemini

  At least you landed on solid gold! Jet Force Gemini was the single best shooter for the N64. Far superior to Golden Eye. Yes, I’ll die on this hill.

    It was actually a really hard game. I never beat it, i sold my N64 anyways as i needed the cash.

      Especially in the era before just looking shit up on the internet when you hit a snag. I remember scouring levels in that looking for a path that I’d missed when I couldn’t figure out where I was supposed to go next.

      Definitely a highlight of the N64 for me. It’s up there with the Zeldas in my book.
