....well, now I have to see this movie. In fact, once I track it down, we're doing a Google Hangout and we're all watching this movie.
I'm on that shit like white on rice.

Google Hangout? Gawd, such a millennial. Don't you know generation z's all about the FaceTime now?

Rabbit is also pretty popular.
Damn kids with their Snap-chats and their Drake music and their Tide pods. Back in my day, your internet access depended entirely on whether or not someone was using the phone, and we liked it that way, dammit!

You aren't a millennial. Also no. Because you're a teenager.
Well, there's also the issue of time. I've got a full-time job, a circle of friends whom I try to make time for, a side career (well, at this point just a hobby) as a semi-professional actor, and about a dozen other interests and hobbies vying for my attention. If I'm going to start carving chunks of my days out for a dedicated project, it either needs to be something I know will be profitable or enough of a passion-project that I don't care if it bombs. And as much as I love reading comics and writing fanfiction, I really don't have a whole lot of inclination to sink that much time and effort into a medium whose audience has already shriveled to a fraction of what it used to be.

While I understand where you're coming from, you still are dramatically underestimating the expenses required for even amateur webcomics. Ignoring time invested, without artistic talents of his own or someone willing to work for free while still being 100% reliable, Andy would need to hire someone to do the art. Which is a serious investment without a guarantee of return. And that's just the most superficial, basic obstacle. While venturing forward on your own and flipping the bird at conventional, mainstream publishing is all well and good - a path I fully support - it is not even close to being a financially secure decision.

We really didn't.
Kids these days will never know the struggle. Like having to wait until your pictures came back from Kodak to know if they were any good. Or missing an episode of your favorite show and just having to wait for the next time it airs, and who knows when that would be. Or realizing you've already played all the good games at Blockbuster. Or trying to watch the scrambled pay-per-view channels to see a distorted and fuzzy image of boobs for half a second and having to just make that work.
The line isn't all that murky, really. You were born after the start of the modern internet age (1995). Your entire life has existed in the era of the modern internet. Those who fall into that category have gone their entire lives under the influence of the internet. Thus, they, and you, are generation z.
And thanks for the continued, meaningful conversation with that last response.
In other news, I have a migraine and will be going to bed shortly. Tomorrow you can expect the post to be finished sometime prior to my D&D session.
Discord > Skype
<Snipped quote by Lord Wraith>
Once Microsoft bought Skype it got progressively worse and worse. I've tried to get some of my friends to get into Discord but they refuse because they're stubborn bitches.
