Who else has more memories involving video games than almost

Sort of. I remember plenty of other things from my childhood but vidya comprises the majority of the positive stuff.

What else were you supposed to do as a kid? Most of us were raised in a suburb, away from nature, and the majority of our time was spent in public "education" which was full of lowest-common-denominator shithead children. Video games were the only way to make that kind of environmental prison tolerable.

When you're an adult you can just do video game things IRL. Instead of playing an adventure game, you can have an actual adventure hiking in nature. Instead of playing a fighting game, you can train MMA. Instead of building things in a video game, you can build them IRL. We played video games because modern childhood sucks.

>What else were you supposed to do as a kid?

Do sports.

Do better in school.

Join clubs.

Play with friends.

But yeah, I understand where you are coming from. My mother wouldn't have let me hang out with a bunch of unsupervised 14 year olds running around town anyway.

All of those things require high-quality peers, which are in short supply. The average kid in public school is basically a nigger.

4chan represents what most Gen Z are like. We're fat socially awkward edgelords spamming memes. Niggers are out commiting crimes while most Gen Z masturbate to anime

I was not especially close with my paternal grandmother.

How are you supposed to react? Freak out and start screaming or whatever? I never understood this. If bad shit happens, you take care of it then go back to what you were doing. No point in theatrics.
