  1. Pew research has retired the use of Generations?

    I think with most groups that we look at there will be people at the cusp who don't clearly fit into one particular group. Especially when you are not appropriately paying attention to variation within groups. There is plenty of contact and association between generations for instance. Although...

  2. What Are You Currently Reading?

    Yeah, I think they are still pretty common here in New Zealand. Libraries and charitable organizations tend to have annual book fairs. One of the biggest that I know of off the top of my head is the Red Cross book fair. As for my currently reading, I finished Development as Freedom and am...

  3. Best horror games ever

    Are you going to get it on PC? I am also curious about how it will go. Really hoping it is good. I was also quite excited about Silent Hills. My preference tends to usually be more towards 1st person horrors so that was really up my alley. I really enjoyed the demo.

  4. Pew research has retired the use of Generations?

    Agreed, on their own they are of much more limited use now. With additional circumstantial and situational factors they could potentially still be quite powerful analytically. Although this would ideally be the exception. There are generally other more meaningful and descriptive groups to draw upon.

  5. Best horror games ever

    What are your thoughts on the upcoming Remake? It was always a series I was meant to go back to. Currently have The Room on PC. Played the demo of it back on PS2 and loved it.

  6. Recent Literature Purchases

    Bahaha, whoops whoopsies. Thank you for pointing that out, I totally forgot to change the permissions. Hopefully it works now.

  7. What Are You Currently Reading?

    I am currently working my way through three books. Two of which I picked up recently at a book fair. Evolution and Social Life by Tim Ingold Crisis in the Philippines: The Marco Era and Beyond edited by David Newsom and I have also been reading Development as Freedom by Amartya Sen

  8. Recent Literature Purchases

    I went to the annual Red Cross Book Fair last week. It was the first time I had gone in a few years. Got some books I am pretty happy with. Wasn't expecting to see anything by Tim Ingold so that was a really nice surprise.

  9. Last Game Played

    It is actually is. It doesn't even cost that much here in New Zealand and our stuff usually costs more than yours. Exchange rate works out to 60USD here.

  10. Last Game Played

    Trust you to notice the 69. :LOL: :LOL: Final Fantasy IV Pixel Remaster, I am in the magnetic cave trying to get the Mind Flayer summon. But the stupid enemies are barely appearing and when they do they are not dropping the summon. I am getting levels though, so not a total loss.

  11. When a stranger calls you "brother"?

    It isn't possible because I am the strangest. So nobody is stranger than me. 😬😅

  12. Haha I haven't noticed since I have been at work. I will get to see how it is tomorrow. 😆😆

    Hahaha and I can't wait. 😆😆

  14. PlayStation 2

    I don't think I was as impressed by the jump between PS4 and PS5 as I was at the jump from PS1 to PS2. I think a large part of the reason being that for lots of the titles on the PS5 they were released on both PS4 and 5 which would have limited have far they could push things in the PS5...

  15. Medical Discrimination Now Legal in Florida

    I am not sure about the particular states that were involved, but this is something which I have also come across in my readings too. As @PGen98 identified it was people who had the misfortune of belonging to socially undesirable groups found themselves the result of an active political...

  16. What game are you playing?

    That is really awesome. I used to love playing games in Facebook messenger. I have started the Final Fantasy 3 Pixel Remaster on my Switch. Also did a few rallies on Mario Run.

  17. Two monitors?

    I used to also wonder about how much was really gained with having a second monitor. But I wouldn't want to go back to just having one now. Typically it is really useful for multitasking. I can watch videos on one screen while playing games on another. This can be for recreational videos, or...

  18. Are bad words bad?

    I think it really depends on context, there can be words that can carry different implications depending on what context they are being used within. So I don't think words will always have moral values outside of the contexts within which they get their meanings. Although this is essentially the...

  19. Best Video Game Movie

    I am not really sure what my favourite would be, as like you mention there have been quite a few. I used to really like the Resident Evil movies, although it has been a long time since I have watched any of them. I also quite enjoyed the Ni No Kuni and Dragon Quest movies when I saw them more...

  20. Do you own a PS5 yet?

    I managed to pick one up just over a year ago. I was fortunate enough to be in the cafeteria at work when I overheard coworkers talking about how a New Zealand website had some in stock. So I checked and sure enough, they did. So I ordered their package deal which came with an extra controller...
