Haha how weird and quirky! A game from 2013? No one's ever played those before! You must be so special and unique! But not as special and unique as me, playing games from the 80s! Oh wait. There's nothing special and unique about any of this.
Encouraging people to be themselves and not determine their worth based on the age of the games they play? Yes. People are more than this. It's sad as hell to put yourself down just because the game is old.
Where does it imply loser? It's a light self deprecating joke. I recall making the same digs at myself because my Sims 3 character was doing really well and I felt like I was living vicariously through them. The age of the game is a fraction of the joke. Do you get this agitated when people joke in real life around you?
They're presenting themselves as something "different" from other gamers... How is that not presenting yourself as unique and special? It gives "I'm not like other girls" energy.
Last I checked the meme is saying the accomplishments are less impressive than they may seem at first, and I'm not seeing "Im not as impressive as I first look" as being "special".
It's not impressive either way, so why are they bringing status into it whatsoever? Older games are not "less impressive" to play, and that mindset should not exist in the first place.
You’re the only one here interpreting this that way. Like I can’t tell if you’re an actual human or if you’re a bot powered by ChatGPT that didn’t correctly process the content of the image.
I find it curious to see people having this sort of insecurity (in some cases, some sort of aversion) with playing older games, while they don't have it with other media, like books or music.
They probably posted it here specifically because they knew people would find it relatable, actually.
I think it was more about the getting goals done in a game instead of real life, and the 10 years was tacked on because some people do like to keep up on the newer games.
