>Says the elitist virgin aspie with no friends
Grandpa what did I tell you about using the computer?
that's an awful lot of assumptions
>oregon trail in middle school
more like carmen sandiego, but i appreciate the idea. blazing through that week's typing lessons so i could play carmen sandiego
otherwise great list that i pretty much agree with 100%. there's a line for video games where if you started playing after that, you will forever be underage and be casual because your tastes were formed from games that were casualized. this line is, in my opinion, the ps1/n64.

Games pandering to certain groups is why gaming is dead

>>320746463
I meant 28K
>>320746202macintosh bootup sound.
Never did find out where the hell those speakers were.
>>320746589
Still wrong. It was 28.8... And if you also didn't know what 14.4 was then you're a newfag and ruined all of gaming.

>You have never owned a PC with a turbo button
Must have been nice having rich parents you little faggot.
>You have never rented a cartridge game from Blockbuster
Blockbuster never existed where I lived. I rented my cartridge games from the grocery store near my childhood house or from a local mom and pop rental store.

>If you didn't grow up exactly like me you're the reason video games are casual shit!
Here's my list of reasons why you are responsible for video games are casual shit:
>You make a thread like this
>>320746813
I was aware of all of that information
>>320746380
and now that damn song is in my head
Anyone ovee the age of 30 that still plays videogamss should be shot.

Autism the post
>i'm old and totally not losing grip of what's good nowadays, it's the newer generation that's wrong!
Take a good look everyone. This is one of life's critical stages happening right before our eyes. It'll happen to all of you.
>>320747703
The bullet will come and end your shitty life anytime now buddy.
Good. Long live the Casual Master Race. I shall laugh hard as I continue to enjoy all the games I get, while you retards get progressively more butthurt that times have been changing and you're no longer the main audience.
I just hope the Casuals push this even further, and eventually being a "hardcore" gamer becomes punishable by torture. I mean, the hardcores want things to be hard right? So we should give them what they want and make life as hard as possible for them. Let the casuals have what they want and let them coast through a life of wonder and pleasure as they get massages and eat delicious fruit as they watch the hardcores get what they truly want - being tortured or forced into rigged gladiator matches while we laugh at their deaths.

You can blame their parents for that. It runs in the family. Parents were probably idiots too.

>Reminder that you are the reason video games are casual shit now if:
>>Your parents weren't rich in the 90's and early 00's
Fuck you.
A lot of those are too specific and don't qualify you to be cancer. This makes your poser weak overall man.
