    In 40 years time there’s going to be a bunch of 30 year old Gen-Betas going “What the fuck am I supposed to do with all my grandmother’s Rae Dunn crap? All this tacky white porcelain, just huck it in the ocean and let it erode.”

      Lmao my niece and nephew are going to enjoy inheriting my brother’s hundreds upon hundreds of D&D minis.

      At least we use (some of) them to play with though, they’re not (only) for the display cabinet.

        If your niece and/or nephew plays DnD with you, they legitimately might.

        You know a major reason why thrift stores are overflowing with Gramma’s China? Gramma failed to instill any love or appreciation for them. You hear once or twice in your youth “Don’t play near that cabinet! You’ll break the dishes!” Then they sit in that cabinet for the next 30 years entirely untouched. Because they’re too precious even for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. So the young’uns don’t build up any personal attachment to these things. So the second your triple comes un-bypassed those dishes are going skeet shooting.
