I've been pirating for over 10 years now.
I've been playing on PC for even longer, I don't even own a current gen console.
I only buy shit I know I like, which barely ever comes out. I maybe buy one video game every 2 years, simply because there's not much interesting me, and games that I played 10 years ago still pretty much deliver me enjoyment right now.
I've always thought spending £80 on a new video game (I swear it used to be £55) was absolutely stupid to be honest. Like, how do you even justify it if its a new release? Yea, I'd like to pay you £80 for a game that'll probably be shit. If its a remake like the industry keeps producing then it'll be worse than the thing I can emulate for free anyway.
Games never decrease in price, they simply go on sales now. Which wouldn't be a problem if they didn't just hand the control of prices to publishers and developers instead of storefronts deciding them, which Steam will never negotiate for obvious reasons.
The industry has turned to free to play as a way to get people into the door for their microtransaction-fests and their gambling simulators, which has made for a rush to the bottom across the entire industry. If they think this shit is going to be bad now, good luck with the next generation. This isn't the late 90s where developers and studios can fail and shut down and move onto a new project or job-hop to somewhere else to make another cult classic that doesn't sell. Failure kills careers and blows potentially half a million dollars in one-go.

I'm 23 so I'm not sure I count, but a lot of my favorite songs are from the late 90s/mid 90s
How do "you look at music from the 50s"?

There's certainly aspects of this but it varies from parents to parents, ones who are overbearing instead of just keeping their musical tastes to themselves will probably cause you to hate shit.
I found out my dad loved ELO to death like 3 years ago when I said I enjoyed their albums, I had no inkling prior. Hell I didn't even know he collected vinyls back in the day.

Nirvana is like the Austin 3:16/nWo of music t-shirts, dude.

Explain this character to someone who has only read the Fate/Stay Night VN and nothing else.
