What happened to kids and why is the qualification for liking things with them have to be that its popular and that doing it will make you popular? I might have nostalgia goggles on but I remember me and my friends would pick games that seemed interesting to us beyond just how much other people liked it.

The next generation is so screwed, I can only imagine.
Obviously you should buy yourself a gaming pc and become a popular streamer. Steal his dream and crush his soul.

I would love to make money playing games but the market for streamers is probably flooded with a million other autists who have the same idea and most viewers probably already have a selection of people they watch.

Nowadays they want everything popular streamers play and whatever they show in bullshots, just like a dude from my college

>he tried to hype his group of bros
>they talk about ITS SKYRIM ONLY HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT and everyone from their group gets it

Turns out the game in the promotional videos looked awesome, but the gameplay and everything else turned out to be boring shit for them.
