Half of America’s Cities Are Depopulating. We Could Be Headed for a Ghost Town Era.

I live in a city and it sucks and I cannot wait to get back to the burbs. I don't live in downtown, so it is not walkable, despite it being a dense area. So I pay more, own less, and do less than if I was back in the burbs. I have no idea why anyone over the age of 25 wants to live in a city. I cannot fathom being an elderly person living in a city. How do you put up with that? I absolutely cannot stand it. I'm glad I tried it, because now I know for sure how much I despise it. I'm not even 30 yet.

I have friends who only have consoles. This is who I think should be looking at this. People like me who wanted a second PC for the living room may pass on this because of the price, though. I don't need a second PC that bad. But for my people with no PC, no monitors, no keyboards, this is pretty decent. Not to mention the it's an alright deal when pricing out a build yourself.

A Loss To The World - Legendary Doom Wolfenstein 3D Composer Bobby Prince Has Passed Away

I was about to say he wasn't even that old. But 81, damn. I love his stories on Doom. He had never really done any metal before which is why so many of the tracks are similar to real songs. Also Into Sandy's City being done with piano until he set it to a harpsichord as a joke and bam, instantly iconic. Like most of his work at the time, really. RIP to one of the guys that gave me the music taste I have today.
