Oh! As if! Articles exploring Gen-X culture
Reddit users share the disproven and useless things Gen-X'ers were told growing up. Unsurprisingly, some people still believe them today. We all heard growing up that you shouldn’t swim for at least thirty minutes after eating. I always questioned this but believed my mother blindly because, hey, I’m just a kid, and Mom knows best. As it happened, that turned out to be untrue, as were many other...
When was the last time you listened to a new song or new music? If you’re past the age of thirty-three, research suggests it’s probably been a little while.

Ah, Yordle, the yellow dragon. While not the most challenging dragon out of the three in Atari Adventure, he was the most obnoxious. What an epic pain in the ass he was. Atari released Adventure in 1980 and speaking for myself, I was damned grateful to have it.
