        Hello! I played D&D first in nineteen-eighty-fucking-one and lived through the Satanic Panic. Have you seen Tom Hanks in his first big acting role? My parents sat me down in front of that.

          Your parents made you watch a film because they were concerned you could not distinguish reality from fiction?
