If this report is correct, then it can only mean that I am ... old?

There's different measurements of old.

How your body works

How you see society

If you play with THAC0

There's a bit of nuance to THAC0. If you've never heard of it, you're young. If you know what it stands for, you're starting to get old. If you know how it works, you're old. If it's the right way to play, you're d u s t y

THAC0 is just subtraction instead of addition. I'll never understand the hate it got.
