My mother does this. She says it’s because she can’t hear it when she puts it up to her ear. I think she’s just not positioning the phone correctly to her ear. I’ve bought her headphones and headsets, but she’s a retired old lady that’s technologically challenged so she’s pretty much never going to stop it.
Former friend of mine in his early 40s does this. I’ve even confronted him about it because it’s caused some embarrasing moments. He seems to think all of us (his friends) want to join in on his phone conversations or he wants to be the center of attention. He was a big asshole and narcissist.
100 years isn’t that long ago. It’s only 2-3 generations from us. Hell, people in office of that generation are only now starting to die lol. We’ll probably have to wait until gen x and millennials are running the show.
That’s how I would discribe losing my virginity. Minus the tentacle sex part.
It’s the developers and publishers that set the expectations. The fans will get mad if they don’t meet those promises or vise versa. Look at No Man’s Sky for instance. They over promised and under delivered, but fans came back after the devs put in the work to bring it up to par with what they themselves promised. Sorry, but these devs in the article read like they’re jealous or afraid their overlords will ask them to make a BG3 without the proper resources.
The game released a few months ago. How have you not known? It was a pretty big deal.
