Posting your weird memes and your old signature making fun of fat people was already borderline but now you're just being a nuisance by posting possible triggers for people

Mao already tried that. For some reason bosses nots like thats so Mao has give ups on that line of research.

I'm pretty sure folks born between 1946 and 1964 were in their preteens through early 40s when the microcomputer arrived in the 1970s. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak (founders of Apple) were born in the 1950s. Bill Gates (founder of Microsoft) was born in the 1950s. Should I go on, or will you still insist that "boomers", you know, the ones who invented PCs and consoles, didn't know how to turn them on?

Pffft. What you assume and what the reality actually was are two different things.

Even a simple search would provide you with "Also in 1968. Nearly 200 million households now own television sets, 78 million of which are in the US [Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968_in_television ]

There were about 63 million households in 1970. [Source: https://www.statista.com/statistics/...lds-in-the-us/ ]

Well in FFXIV we got a glamour system, meaning you can get all eras gear as the looks put onto your max gear, it is as simple as that... and also FFXIV can make you as Dark or light as you want.... as rainbow crazy as well... if offers you everything you can ever want at current level and more and more is added to it over time.

There is special sites where you can see all glamours and glamour options as it is.

OP is a IRL DRK main. minus sword. And armor. And skills.

Computers were not widespread among households until the 90s. Jet fighters were also invented in the 50s, do you assume everyone born in the 50s knew how to start a jet engine?

I don't remember what brand my first PC was. I just remember it was long before the existence of windows or computer mice and having to do everything through dos prompts on a monochrome monitor. Thing died long ago but I still have it's storage drive which I use as a door stop since it's like a 10kg steel block with something like a whole 8mb of storage in it. Oh but it was like... high tech at the time. I had 3.5, 5.25, and a tape drive in it. lol

Also vaguely remember the thing having a power switch that seemed like it belonged on a piece of industrial machinery you'd find in a factory.
