skip the maths

I'm so millenial this is the only part I understood.

I'm older than you, and obviously use 3D software more.

I know, right? Imagine the very idea that someone older than a millennial is using 3D software. Snort.

Next thing, somebody will be claiming that gen-Xers, or god forbid some boomers, did the 3D work in Toy Story, or Jurassic Park, or the first Tron movie. Ridiculous.

Good job, dear. You really put me in my place about being older than me. I definitely wasn't being condescending, because I find the idea of even older generations, still comparing ages a bit funny. Great job!

You're the one who brought age into this convo?

Tap for unraleted yappingYour account is 19 months old, and you have 7,5k comments??? That's about 400 comments per month, and comes out to 12-13 per day? How do you have the patience and time for that? I can't be bothered replaying to more than one comment/post per week.

Yes. And I'm also the one who jokingly claimed to not understand the very basic English and blender terms around your username.

I believe my generation is considered somewhat technologically literate, see. As is Lemmy. I, however, half-jokingly implied I am not.

How do you have the patience and time for that?

I enjoy writing and it really doesn't take that long to hit a quick reply on your phone. A large majority of my comments is just very shitty attempts at jokes, but got to work on the material somewhere and there's not really venues around here.

Millenial cringe

Wait wait wait, if a GenX or Boomer used 3D software to make Toy Story, who made that software?
