OH MY GOD NOT 100% GAME RELATED RAGE RAGE RAGE!!!!

Grow the fuck up, people. It's called KOTAKU. It stands to reason that there will be just a little bit of Japanese Nerd related news on it.

I just don't see anything positive fromi that story as it just furthers old gaming stereotypes we're trying to get away from. I wouldn't have bothered putting up something like that

And really, video games over sex? I love games and all, but no, just no.

Depends on the game and on the sex.

Telling people to grow up while simultaneously insulting them in a childish manner really gets your point across. :roll:

There's too much conflation between reproduction and sex in that article.

That said, I don't know why people worry so much about declining populations. Do populations always have to grow?

I know the social security schemes in most of the world are not prepared to deal with declining populations, but that's a reason to find a sustainable model for them, not for taking for granted that smaller populations are a bad per se.

Cause young people spend more than the elderly. Who do you think buys all the new technology? The actual problem isn't the decline in population, it's the aging population.
