    The Wire is ing brilliant, but I'd argue that Bojack Horseman actually has the best writing of any TV series. The Sopranos is good too.

    In your own house no, but if I'm over for a social visit I don't take my shoes off unless it's family or a very close friend. A few years back I went to a client's house and they made me take my shoes off and it was very uncomfortable. It didn't impact my strip show too much, but I had just got those sequined boots and I wanted to show them off

    45. But silly as a teenager.

    proof of my old age: right now dismayed to see that Levis not only sells ripped pants, but also dirty ones.

    Then also the professional vs recreational time issue. If you spend your entire day at the PC, how much relaxation do you really get out of spending free time at the PC as well? Your parents didn't watch TV at work all day (I assume - cuz compared to that PC is healthier)
    Very good points and I have to say agree with all of them. I don't even bother with all of the trends and positively hate the idea of microtransactions. That is an automatic deal breaker.

    And yes, I work with computers, and especially now with the plague and the reduced amount of human contact, I find talking to people on a forum helping me more to reduce stress than actual gaming. Albeit I do both.

    Just to quote a few who reported their age, it is nice to see that there are so many of us. Not because I want people to be old, but because it is nice to see so many of us who are silly as teenagers and still having fun, doing what they have done all their life!

    I liked The Wire a lot. Season 1 was good, season 2 unfortunately was garbage. Although season 3 is better. Now season 4 is really tedious in my opinion, I mean it isn't bad per se unless you bore easily. Season 5 of The Wire was actually pretty good.

    The Sopranos on the other hand is consistently good. But I feel that season 1 is the classic Sopranos that everyone recognizes. But seasons 5 and 6 felt really long and tedious, it should ended by season 4 or something.

    I mean, it is consistent until around season 5 or 6. Or you could interpret that it is consistently tedious.

    Yeah, I had to force myself to finish the last season (of the Sopranos). It probably didn't help that I binge watched it. Still a ing great show.

    Apparently I'm the only one who actually enjoys the 2nd season of The Wire. Obviously it's not as good as the rest of the seasons, but it's still pretty damn good. I also really enjoyed the 4th season. Marlo is such an amazing villain.
