There was, I'm told, about a six year period where I didn't give a single fuck what Dad had to say because Dad wasn't Batman, and we think that this might stem from an incident that one Halloween when Mom told me that "Real Dad" was Batman. Batman, who I revered, could absolutely tell me to do my homework. And even did a few times via letters. In retrospect, I'm willing to bet that the handwriting on those letters, if scrutinized, would be revealed to match the handwriting of one of my parents. But for now I'm still saying it was The Goddamn Batman.
Maybe CaptainSparklez can do something similar. A letter of recommendation saying that Tycho's a pretty cool dad, and maybe his kids should show him some love now and then.
I'm pretty sure every celebrity has to deal with this. I bet it 's all kinds of frustrating when a world leader can't get their kids to put down a comic.
It's disappointing they didn't keep the guys in if that really happened. I've been wondering if that's going to be a fun game, or just a dilution of what makes minecraft good.
I suppose there are worse problems to have, though.
When your level of need in that area is not as high as your parents' (or siblings' or other loved ones'), and all you can experience is what it feels like for you, it can be easy to not be at all cognizant of the attention they need and how it feels for them to not be receiving it from you, because from your perspective, everything feels fine. Even when you are directly told, "I require attention a little more frequently," and you understand it conceptually, on the level of feeling, it still on some level feels like, "Really? Why...?"
Hooray for abnormality. =D
I don't understand the sentence as it is now. Who are the "psychotic millionaire god children"?
No, it's supposed to be "god children." Because most of them tend to be pretty young, or act immature as a large part of their shtick.
If it had been hyphenated (god-children) I think it would have been clearer.

This is terrifying.
Hey hey... yeah I know it scares people I'll be raising the next world leader.

Being in the Guinness Book of World Records for "Longest Continuous Fart" is a kind of world leadership.
Just sort of wish these comics could go back to an older, subtler format. They always wanted to avoid the panel 1: "Hey, how is that game you are playing?" intro.
And while they're at it, these kids can also get right off your lawn.
Video games: The ones kids are playing these days are the absolute worst since 1972.
I thought what they were trying to avoid was the "I'm really worked up about X" where X can be any game.

Enjoy.
No no, the ones they are playing these days are the worst. The ones in 72 were only the worst in 72.
Like, the call of duty franchise has been around for thirteen years.
"Man when I was a kid COD was so much better."
Mario also is obvious.
A kid could finish elementary school and graduate from high school and probably move out for college during that dev time.
To a lot of people in 1972 it was. Cause every year as far as I can tell video games kids are playing now are just the absolute worst.
