That's everything that's wrong with your generation, encapsulated in two small words.

Nigger, if you put a computer down in front of us, we were THRILLED. We couldn't WAIT to start poking and prodding every single key and button to find out what they did. We EXPERIMENTED. We weren't afraid to just fucking try stuff. We weren't afraid that something would go wrong. If a computer or a game had a manual we would read it for fun, like in bed, or bring it to school with us to dream about all the things that were possible. Don't misunderstand- we didn't NEED manuals for games. We were happy fiddling around with the controls to see what would happen. But we read them for fun. It was exciting as fuck learning simple computer commands and finding out you could type $PEEK and $POKE to make pixels change different colors. We couldn't get enough of it. The thrill of discovery, and mastery, of a new frontier.

Zoomers are TERRIFIED of experimentation. I can't stress enough how much I despise them. They are constantly here on this board whining "s-should I play this game? what if i have a bad time? i'm scared of not having any fun... please tell me everything about this game ahead of time so I don't make any mistakes.. I don't want to repeat content.. i'm scared.. i just want to 100% 1cc add this to my checklist and ignore the gnawing void of emptiness in my gut where a soul should be". They bitch about obtuse controls, logic puzzles, hidden content "b-but how was i supposed to know! IT'S NOT FAIR! the game didn't show me a waypoint and button tutorial! they didn't explain i could get the secret mcguffin here! BAW MY EXPERIENCE WASN'T FAIR AND EQUITABLE" Fucking get over it, you absolute miserable cowards.

zoomer jannies will delete this and 3-day me but you know I'm fucking right. I'm SICK of this incompetent loser can't-do-anything fear-paralyzed generation that is so broken THEY CAN'T EVEN ENJOY VIDEO GAMES without handholding and support groups.
