I’m a similar age and also a gamer. For me it feels generational more than age. Gen X always seemed to see video games as a kids activity, even when they were in their 20s. While millennials see it as just another pastime, like tv and movies.
Anything put on the internet is forever. No one should be publicly posting anything with the expectation that they have any control of it after it goes out. If it’s not held by the server, there’s the way back machine or even just folks taking screenshots.
In addition to the new Zelda, I’ve been playing a lot of Super Mario Bros 3. That game holds up so much better than the original.
It’s crazy how we’ve had minimum wage for 90 years and people are still angry about it. It makes me sad that folks are willing to spend energy trying to prevent others from being paid for their work.
