I really hope this is a joke. If not, wtf?
It was an age without outlets for information. If you wanted to have a chance at figuring out that secret sauce to get to the next level or beat that boss, there was magazine or back issue roulette. There was admitting you suck to your cooler richer friends to beg them to tell you how to beat it. There was the tiny chance that the official guide you had to special order might mention the thing. Then there was the dialup internet where loading to the nipples of a single image took longer than most boys, and by the time the whole image loaded 1 in 3 was holding a self serviced d-pad controller of their very own. Times were different, and so were the frustrations. If you wanted to learn, you went to the library on the other side of town. People read newspapers for information and it had classified-craigslist that was like paying Twitter by the word to try and sell your broken junk. Those of us that didn't rage, blew on our cartridges like we were making a magical wish to a genie.
This is remarkably accurate, although to be fair, newspapers actually reported news back then, rather than journalistically fellating a group of shadowy billionaires. Different times.
Wow, this is quite incredible. I point out someone's lack of emotional control/stability, and you seem to think that implies that I am the one who is a child. I lived through the magical before times, friend, and I still didn't conduct myself like this.
If you think that justifies that kind of behavior you might have some issues as well.
What am insane simp for an insane child. I hope to god you ain't a parent.
You’ve never seen a rager? That’s almost mild.
I suppose I just don't associate with people who have such low emotional control and stability. I don't play with those who scream or are toxic in chat, and I certainly wouldn't have associated with anyone like this back in the split-screen days. That behavior is quite absurd and indicates a larger overall problem.
You're not wrong, but you're falling for a frequent foible of my own - not to put too fine a point on it, but you're coming across a bit superior.
Maybe he is superior?
I tried operating under that assumption, it didn't work out
They are. That simp for a shitty kid is just that SIMPING. I'd toss that Nintendo in the trash if my daughter acted even remotely close to that.
You're always such an asshole, you know that?
BOYS WILL BE BOYS AMIRITE?
Meme is shitty toxic behavior and this is what you simp 🤣 At least make it about policy rather than this clearly insane behavior.
You're not just an asshole, you're a poor reader. I was agreeing with the other person.
You clearly missed the sarcasm. Poor reader indeed...
Perhaps people should feel inferior for behaving this way. It appears this behavior has been normalized and is found acceptable amongst certain groups. It isn't and shouldn't be.
This is fun. I'm trying to agree with you while explaining that we don't have to be pricks about it, and you're just doubling down. I love this comedic chemistry. Can we heckle things together?
I understood you, I'm just not that concerned, in this case, if these folks are offended. People who act like this or punch walls or get in road rage incidents are a danger to those around them and should be called out for their shitty behavior.
Guys a simp, give it up. It's video games and so they are fine with boys will be boys.
Alright, I'll come off it. I just saw you walking in one of my shoes and thought I'd put in a friendly word... For the good of your sole. 🫣
