everywhere. thinking mostly kids play videogames is some boomer-ass take. SNES was 35 years ago... do you think people who grew up playing videogames in the 90s just quit one day? about three quarters of people who play videogames today are adults, and 40% are 35+.

How dare you not growing up like a boomer and not getting accustomed to linear television as your only source of joy, therapy and emotion avoidance? /s

Growing up with games that had no save options and no walk-throughs, we're the OG gamers.

I had walkthroughs, but you had to buy gaming magazines to get them.

I remember one of my dad's co-workers asking my dad to bring me to his place so I can walk him through Dizzy as he wrote everything down.
