An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine or advice forum.
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. Not hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.

Context: I'm of an age where AARP sends me snail mail to join; play a lot (too much?) of Destiny and the game sort of has a rep for being extremely toxic. Destiny 2 has hit a low spot so I wanted to try something new, mix it up.

Picked up Titanfall 2 from the PlayStation store on sale ($10?), played the short campaign then started jumping into classic Co-op (4 players defend a doohickey against 5 waves of AI enemies)...

...and it's full of little kids on mic laughing and giggling (and playing way better than me) just having fun. Super refreshing and makes me smile, I wouldn't call this a kid's game either. So yeah, good times for an old gamer.

I play on modded Minecraft servers and my two friends have been this 14 year old kid and a 65 year old man. Its fun seeing them both overcome the design challenges in different but intelligent ways.

They're not telling you that they fornicated with your mother? Man, game chat sure has changed over the years.

The Titanfalls were some REALLY good games, and what finally caused me to quit buying CoD every year.

Last COD I bought was Black Ops 1. Even had dedicated servers! Aw man, nostalgia pain.

Classic "Millennial" shooters have all been ruined. I am not sure who is buying them anymore.

Wait, did the ps4 servers come back up?

That's really cool. I hope a lot of them just got it this morning and are having a blast.
