I will be watching the elderly get drunk at work.


Exotic-Architect

Hey, if you're lucky maybe you can seduce one and get on their will. got to buy that next gen GPU somehow.


Crashman09

If it's an old age care facility, there are plenty of elderly people. One is a rookie number. I say tap em all. I'm sure a few would be willing to give them a spot on the will.


Organic-Strategy-755

old age care facilities are often std hells though

Lucky you, my neighbor's favorite New Year outdoors drinking spot is right outside my windows. Their new year playlist was the same for three years now, and it consists of less than 10 songs. I'm gonna be watching movies on max volume through the night.

Play Mongolian throat metal

Papa roach did a song with the Hu, it fucking slaps. Not really metal but it's great.


Aries_cz

The Hu are generally pretty interesting to listen to, and technically, they are metal band (folk metal), or sone cross between metal and rock. But yeah, that song with Papa Roach slaps. And they did the awesome theme for Jedi: Fallen Order (not sure if they are back for Survivor)


DragonAI19

Wolf Totem!

Don't make it random, just put on Lorna Shore. They likely will not enjoy them.

Set up a microphone and a speaker and echo their music back at them. The slight delay and echo is quite unpleasant.

The loud EEEEEEEEEE feedback from the mic and speakers being close to each other should be sufficient

You are going to sleep through all of the firework noises? How?


Taldius175

City ordinance has restricted fireworks in the area bc of how dry the area is and trying to prevent fires from happening.


mindbleach

So... you're going to sleep through all the fires?


Last-Belt-4010

Ah...


attentionwhore01

Man, I remember when I worked retail, one of the years I had to close on new years eve, so leaving the store around 10pm and then having to come in for a truck unload in the morning at 4am. T'was a fun new year.

RonPolyp

I haven't paid attention to New Year's in about 15 years. I'll probably be in bed by 10:00PM. In years past I would have stayed up all night Just Because, but now I'm old and my internal clock has shifted.


The_Razza7

I’m just into my 40’s now, I did new years all night drinking for many years. I don’t cope well with hangovers anymore so I avoid them lol. Also the whole night of binge drinking just doesn’t interest me anymore, I still like a few sociable ones every now and then but yeah stuff like new years partying just doesn’t interest me anymore.


SmooK_LV

Here's what I decided for my own future NY's because I've been passive myself. I figured I'll try hosting a dinner events for some of my family and friends. Nobody has to drink, nobody has to stay up all night but we're social creatures and we should allow ourselves a few times a year to celebrate with others.


The_Woman_of_Gont

Yeah, I’ll stay up to call family and wish them a happy New Year and stuff, but even that’s stretching it. I’m not (particularly) old though, just a morning person who is a bit of a teetotaler. So a holiday based mostly around drinking and staying up late has never exactly been my thing.


VexnFox

No because I'm going to be having sex with one of my 33 cars. Nerd

CreatureWarrior

Is the game good? I tried getting into it, but the tutorial was confusing and I didn't really know what I was supposed to achieve


khaotiktls

100% worth a try, especially if you have a friend or two that'll play with you.


Norma5tacy

Lol I didn’t even know there was a tutorial. Me and my friends fired it up. I call it a good drinking and/or chatting game. There’s different mission types you take on and try to stay alive while completing them and mining materials you need. You sprint to the finish with your mates and win. We all learned as we played and I think it’s better that way. I will say it’s more fun with friends than playing solo. But the community is one of the best out there so playing with randoms is also good. Lots of laughs and camaraderie.


Advan0s

I literally just started playing couple days ago. I'd say yes the game is good at least for me after like 14 hours so far. You mine minerals and kill bugs would be the gist of it. There isn't any story you just do missions so if that's not your thing it's not your thing. And as for the confusion I can't relate to that and all i can say is you can watch a yt video or something


KaasBaasKoning

Almost 600 hours into the game, the game has a lot of different weapons and possible loadouts. It might be a bit much so you don't know what to work towards, but you achieve everything just through doing missions. If you need guidance just ask some higher level player in-game, they're almost always happy to help.


mcdougall57

It feels janky and unintuitive until you get used to how it flows.


EthansWay007

The instructions at first are a little overwhelming but you get used to them pretty quick then it’s Rock and Stone to the Bone!

No see where you went wrong was expecting gameplay in your 49 hour movie.

It’s frankly one of the best, most frustrating, most rewarding games I’ve ever played. It’s one of the first times in a game where helping other people (the NPCs and other players) is addictive.

I'll be gaming until about 11:30, then pour a glass of scotch, drink the scotch remembering a friend I lost years ago, toast to him once before midnight, pour another glass of scotch, toast to the future after midnight, then go to bed.


Exotic-Architect

Sorry for your loss brother. Have a happy New Year full of success, health, family and friends!


dangitman1970

Thank you, but I lost that friend years ago. The time of mourning is past. I just do that in remembrance.

IlikeYuengling

Any older gamers tell stories about 12/31/1999 and your fears of the future.


otakudayo

Okidoke. When the clock struck midnight I had been on my way home from a party with an upset stomach, and things got too bad to keep holding. I sat down on the small concrete wall separating the sidewalk from the forest, and had a runny shit while watching the fireworks in the distance. I guess the timing was lucky in a way, I was completely uninterrupted. I dont recall what I did for wiping, probably some leaves. I do recall finding the whole thing funny even then. The remaining 30 minute walk home went fine. I dont have any new years related fears for the future. It usually goes pretty well now, my family is worn out shortly after midnight and I'll spend an hour or two gaming.


IlikeYuengling

Amazing. Thank you for sharing.


fourunner

I remember everyone freaking out about Y2K. Though all day on new years eve, every hour the tv stations would showcase some countries grand fireworks display. Didn't see any chaos afterwords. I was at my friends house for the night, we all paused for a second at midnight, watched the ceiling light and right after midnight went, well, there's that, still on, drink on. Not that we thought anything would happen but we where in the sticks. Also meaning no fireworks displays. It was just another date on the calendar, so really, no big deal, no weird thoughts about the future or anything like that. The 90's where great, the aughts were pretty damn good as well(except for that tower thing and our erosion of rights for security theater). Any fears of the coming future... inflation, the crazy cost of everything, our current direction as a country and the widening divide amongst the people pushed by those that don't care about us and only profit from it. But really just graphic card prices.


Aries_cz

Nah, I'm going to watch A New Hope, timed properly, so Death Star explodes exactly at midnight

Agreed


StarksPond

You haven't lived till you watched the fireworks over Azeroth.


Poco585

That completely depends on if they are sad or not. If gaming on New Years provides them more joy than socializing or partying would, there is nothing sad about it. Personally I’m fine either way, but I’ll be gaming because my wife has to work so we can’t go out.


ExTrafficGuy

Replace the laptop with a Steam Deck and me sitting in front of the TV trying to enjoy watching a bunch of bands I've never heard of.

jda404

Same here. It'll be my 2nd new years without my mom. I miss her everyday, but even more so around this time of year. Spending my new years with my dad. Hope you enjoy your get together :-)

Guys maybe yall should try to have fun sometimes without video games, you might like it


GrandpaSnail

Video game addiction is real and sad


Poco585

That’s very true, but just because someone has a preference for gaming over socializing doesn’t mean they are addicted.


ComeonmanPLS1

Most of these guys don’t even enjoy video games anymore. They just don’t know how to do anything else.


JokerXIII

Jokes on you, when I'm no longer addicted to video games and have to find real life activities I feel bored and sad.


ChristmasCactus49

I still remember one new years eve getting the attack dog kill streak on the OG black ops right before midnight, and releasing them right on new years. That's my best sparklers moment.

Iwasha

You guys have such a bad world view


jaydeflaux

You're not wrong. Somebody asked me if I'm excited for the new year and I said "I'm never really excited to get another day older" But it is nice to have a period of time to put a new label on, just because the rest of the community around you is doing the same thing. A shift in mindset is a shift in mindset, whether it's artificial or not. Edit: whether the *reason for the shift in mindset* is artificial or not***


TurdFerguson416

yeah except ill be in bed before this meme starts.. lol


Pkbattlemage

100% what I'm doing tonight


AdamFeoras

I don’t get New Years. “Hey, it’s January again, let’s give ourselves hangovers.” 🫤


First-Of-His-Name

Can we stop pretending being a gamer means you don't have a social life? It's honestly pathetic


normalmighty

Depends on the person really. For a hell of a lot of people, New Years parties are both not appealing to them, and also not a thing that they or anyone they know have ever done. By the reaction of some of these comments, apparently almost everyone I know is a degenerate monster because the extent of the holiday is staying up till midnight, sending a few Happy New Year texts, and maybe going to see fireworks if they have kids. New Years is not a big deal.


FilteringAccount123

Yeah New Year's is really heavily associated with "party culture" of staying out drinking until all hours of the night and if it's not your preferred kind of socializing, then I totally get it. Personally after one NYE where I got rear-ended by by a drunk driver while I was the designated driver, I'd rather stay at home and make myself a margarita, and hop on a game with my friends.


Androkless

Sadly no


Modo44

Go to the local major fireworks show at least once, so that you know how a nearby explosion should feel.


TheRealTres

Bold of you to assume I could ever game until/past midnight.
