Study only proves that everything past the '90s is garbage. Not a surprise....
If you think you can stop learning or thinking when you get a real job after school, you either don't have a real job or are still in school.
I'm not quite sure of whether you misunderstood me, or I'm misinterpreting what you're saying.
My point is that many will willingly forgo any kind of education once they're past the last "obligatory" (i.e., what ideally will provide the means of sustenance for the rest of their lives: university) stage, as implied by societary standards.
Now, if what you're aiming at is that a man is pressured to keep himself updated to stay at the top professionally and therefore he should have no chance of letting his guard down ever... well, we might be living in two completely parallel societies, because I rarely see that kind of drive in any professional. Most are just a bunch of mediocre dipshits with a title's worth of whatever knowledge was up to date when they last were young.
I'm well aware it is possible —and commendable!— to both study and work because that's precisely what I do, and don't intend to stop at any point.
I've enjoyed my ages past, am enjoying my current, and am sure will enjoy what's to come, because first and foremost I'm at ease with myself. If you believe your life already peaked so early an age and everything after's bound to go downhill, perhaps you should reconsider how and where you're currently standing at.School is the easiest, most thought free part of your life. Enjoy it.
I just wanted to point out that any child that is going to school to get a real graduate degree in a real field, and not some bullshit like Social Work or Fine Arts, is going to do the majority of their thinking and learning once they graduate, upon promotions, upon changing employers. It is self evident. The leaders of every field who have the most knowledge and do the most thinking are in their 50s at least. The time when professionals known enough to start writing thinking books or get jobs doing really important shit. Jefferson may have drafted the DoI in his thirties, but he was a great mind until he died, and loved learning until the day he died.
Mediocre people in their 50s were mediocre in their school days. If you don't think or learn now and you are 30+ you were always mediocre, and all you did when you were in school was memorize some shit and regurgitate some other shit actual thinking people 30+ came up with.
But, this is the end of this retard fight from me. You have the right to be as wrong and mediocre as you want, and project that on to anyone you want. But its patently and objectively untrue and proven wrong by just opening your eyes and looking at the people driving everything.
He said a real field, not some bullshit.I have a Masters in Philosophy
But, don't you see we're agreeing? I do grant that there's people who keep working on perfecting themselves all their lives. They're the ones to be held as examples of excellence, and that's what I aim to be.But, this is the end of this retard fight from me. You have the right to be as wrong and mediocre as you want, and project that on to anyone you want. But its patently and objectively untrue and proven wrong by just opening your eyes and looking at the people driving everything.
This is precisely my point. When young, if ever so slightly, they did exercise their capacity to think or accumulate information because they were forced to. Once that pressure goes away...Mediocre people in their 50s were mediocre in their school days. If you don't think or learn now and you are 30+ you were always mediocre, and all you did when you were in school was memorize some shit and regurgitate some other shit actual thinking people 30+ came up with.
So bored of all those knock off DnD settings on RPGs, where is my christian eschatology RPG? My prehistory RPG? My urban fantasy RPG? My horror RPG?
Well, actual study was done for music and is not really new as similar findings were circulating since 2015:

but you can see it clearly extrapolating on RPGs just by looking at codex. I bet steam would be available to confirm it.
Now it suddenly makes sense, codexers cant into determinism for they were not exposed to it soon enough. Its not lost though as some of you might have children one day.
All that aside, we're both grown-ass men, so quit the name-calling and behave/reply according to your age.
Companies want to make things that sell, and things that aren't trad-fant and post-apocalyptic don't.I think the problem is that to invent something new, you need to have talent, it is easier to buy an IP and milk it by turning it on an online FPS like Bethesda did than trying to make anything new. This is a big problem of not only big companies.
If you are 25-55, the entertainment industry rotates around you like the moon around the Earth or the Earth around the sun.
Examples-
Game of Thrones
Battletech computer games
Star Wars movies
Star Trek reboot/ STD
X-File reboot
Rampage movie
Smashing Pumpkins reunion tour
Baldur's Gate 2: EE
Transformers movies
TMNT movies
Pokemon Go/ Pokemon revival
etc...
All so that you can share the crap you loved when you were a kid with your kids.
Yeah, most current RPGs are garbage. The avg age of Codexers(?) is coincidence. I think all of us here, regardless of age, still enjoy the classics, as well as a rare modern title.Do you start being a faggot around the age of 30, lukaszek ?
Well, most modern rpgs with their sjw popamolisms are p. shit; but always love to give geneforge or shattered lands a try when nothing else to play.
Even kids nowadays consider Fallout a goddamn masterpiece.And kids nowdays would consider the Codex classics to be steaming pile of garbage. News at 11.
In around a decade or maybe one and a half the classics CRPG as Codex knew it is probably gone from the market permanently.
The definition of classic will change. It will be the Golden Age of Dragon Age and Mass Effect the kids will be talking in the future.
