This is just a meme but a pretty stupid world view generally.

So Tesla's entire strategy Elon was working was just abandoned.

Continues down the pathway that Tesla is just going to fade to irrelevance.

Welcome to the world of business. First time here huh? Might wanna strap in, this is pretty harmless when it comes to capitalists and its by-products.

Not sure that's right - before the internet I had no clue what was supposedly good or not. I'd rent games from blockbuster and just try them one by one. Lots of shitty games and I had no idea that Mario or sonic or anything was meant to be good.

Now it's a lot easier just based on metacritic or steam reviews to figure out if something is good or not.

It's a nostalgia thing - I don't remember the games where I got stuck on the first level and could never finish the game (which happened). Or were just boring so I quit after a half hour.

I do remember donkey Kong country, super Mario bros, sonic Etc. Which all worked well and were fun.

I think it's because people only remember the good games and not the stinkers.

I played a lot of shit games I can't recall because I played for 30 minutes max. There was one game I never passed the first level as I couldn't figure out what to do, I think something to do with jelly beans and a blob. How is that good gameplay lol?

But of course myself and others can tell you about the games we played for hours like Super Mario Bros which didn't really have bugs and were good.

And someone recently told me the Xz exploit doesn't matter because no developer is stupid enough to install beta releases to prod systems lol.

Laziness and/or low skills leads to a lot of IT failures.

"What do you mean everyone is equal and I can't just pay to get ahead? This game sucks, nothing like real life"

If Biden loses to Trump because people won't vote for Biden or would vote for Trump instead then Americans deserve Trump because he actually represents them. Just in case it's not clear, if the majority of people are morons, don't be surprised if a moron wins the election.

Games were definitely buggy and I honestly think people forget how much better the quality is nowadays.

I also think there is something to it just being the 90s or so and not having much choice. If you only have one game to play then of course you're going to replay it to death. If I have a steam library of 1000 games then I'm much less likely to.

A lot of this is just nostalgia for the past and the environment as opposed to games being any better.
