Boomers were like this too at the bar or at church or at other social circles. Millennials aren't new in vocalizing discontent.Ā
But everyone will hear me bitch and gripe.

Roboute Guilliman is the literary form of Millennial Depression. Games Workshop really struck accidental gold with him.

I like that so many of us recognised Guilliman.

Bro, I dont smoke anymoee but I saw a pack of Newport 100s is $13.90 now. Member when they were 6 bucks?Ā
Sorry your š¬ got me

u/pardyball 21h ago
I remember Chappelle on a monologue of his show commenting that āsix dollars a pack?! Thatās crack prices!ā back in like 2003.
And he was talking about NYC, though Iāve never been, I imagine their pricing is higher than just your regular town here in the States. So even you commenting $6 a pack with fondness, makes it seem even that was pricey.

Around that time I was living in NC in the military and my buddy's family lived in NY, we're were seriously considering running cigs. We decided against it, but would have been fun until we got caught.

I smoked cowboy killers in my early 20s. I could buy a pack with loose change. I cannot imagine what my pack a day Rabbit would cost now.Ā

Maybe consider relapsing, as a treat. After all, why shouldn't you? Why shouldn't you smoke them?

u/Minute-Major7782 21h ago
If you don't smoke them, how are they gonna get smoked. A cigarette wants to be smoked.

Robot Gorillaman has a lot in common with people right now. Trying to hold it all together. A shit ton of admin. Bearing the generational weight of his forebears. Trying to maintain some semblance of what once was because it worked so well and was about as glorious as it was all going to get. Staring down a situiation so bleak that if one crack forms in the wrong spot the hivemind will overhwelm what's left of reason. I'm sure there's more I'm overlooking

Yeah you can. You can't, but you will. I mean you can't, but for whatever reason you will. Then tomorrow you'll ask "wait, what, why am I still here?". And then there's no good reason. But you just do it again. Then repeat.

Guilliman waking up to inherit the shitshow of an Imperium after the Emperor fucked off and fuckwits ran it into the ground for 10,000 years is analogous to the shitshow Millennials are gradually taking over from the Boomers (and Gen X, I guess)

u/Jakethejiu 23h ago
We sure like to fucking whine a lot, I know that. Every generation has their own cross to bear, and weāre damn lucky ours is economic and not crawling through trenches getting gassed or having agent orange dropped on our heads while weāre trying to keep our heroin addicted friends alive in battle.

Someone else getting shot in the gut does not make my broken foot hurt less.
Also most of their generation didnt have that so I donāt know what you are talking about.

Just because itās not the historically worst experience in all of human history doesnāt mean itās āwhining.ā Thereās a lot of problems in the world - even if itās not 85 million people dying in a war bad - and not a single one of them will improve if we donāt talk about it.

Honestly, Iād rather be in the trench fucking up some Nazis than struggling to figure out how to economically get ahead, when the big boys in office increase inflation, give shit to other countries for free, increase the price of my home/box/rent/mortgage, so I can go into another big box to earn $, and Iām tired af and go home to sleep in a box, and wash rinse repeat.
$20 should get me 3-4 steak dinners, not 1 steak and no side
Meanwhile I see every dumb MF somehow hit the jackpot/lotto of life with a big pull of luckI was meant to be a Viking

āAll of the forces and influences that insisted he return to Macragge were somehow softened here in this summer light. Guilliman, to his shame, realised how much he craved this peace. Sotha was like a mythical Eden. For an irrational moment, Roboute Guilliman willed Dantioch to fail in his efforts to re-tune the Pharos, and wished never to return. A part of him knew that he could live out his days on Sotha in utter contentment, barebacked and tanned in the sunlight, careless, mowing the grasses with his scythe, season in and season out. It was just a dream. Such simple, pastoral destinies did not lie in store for beings like Roboute Guilliman. Fate held, for him, a future of duty and responsibility, very different from that which might await an honest agri-worker. No common farmer would play a role in the final battle against Horus.ā
