Seems like the hipster thing is on the way out. I hope the Hitler Youth haircuts make their exit soon, too. That's just my observations from spending the majority of my life on college campuses for the last 20 years. Not too much curb stomping going on that I've seen..... Maybe things are different on the rough and tumble affluent streets of San Francisco.

It seems to be evolving. At first hipsters wore the wool caps, the ironic t-shirts ect, but now they sport stuff you'd see a guy from the 1950's would wear along with handlebar mustaches, and way too many tats. I mean maybe they call themselves something different now, but it's the same demographic.

Well, if the question was "what game came first?" then yeah, you're right. Just because Shariki came out prior to Panel DePon, Bejeweled, etc doesnt mean that they aren't similar.

Ok, I'll bite.

Why don't any games that are similar to, but came out after Shariki, count? Bejeweled, Baku Baku (Animal) and others had arcade releases, so saying there are no similar arcade games is not a valid retort.

If someone called me a hipster I would be offended too. As for the look, I think it is regional. The hipsters I've seen in Colorado are sporting a man bun and sucking on their ---meecrob--- flutes while wearing flannel and talking about how progressive smoking pot is. Around here, the look is different, what Howard is describing would fit the lesbian/gender neutral females around here.

You head west of here and you run places where the "west coast hipster" is pretty much 95% of the population. Not all that unique.

Personally, I don't really fit any of the stereotypes I have seen Howard post.. I'm just your average 46 year old technology nerd who doesn't feel there is any kind of "age appropriate" anything in life. I wear what is comfortable, and I am not trying to fit into anyone's style, stereotype, or genre. I do own a pair of Carhart shorts, which is the closest thing I have to cargo shorts, but I wear them when it is hot out and I am working on something like a carpentry project. I don't own flip flops or a hat of any kind, my feet have only seen the sun a few times in the last 3 decades. If I drink or eat something, it isn't to be ironic, to stand out, or to try something different, it's because I like what I am eating. i have facial hair but I also shave every day. I'm overweight but look skinny compared to 90% of Americans. What other Howardisms can we dispel today?
