Why are people rejecting modern technology?
>>

Because it sucks

Fuck faggot ass gen z, stay the fuck away from our vidya you tranny generation.

>>543453397

I've never seen a gen z with a gameboy. They are all still playing Fortnite, Wolverine, and soon GTA 6. Please stop with this "gen z loves old stuff". They hate old stuff, because it reminds them of how shit the current stuff is.

Modern "technology" makes simple work harder so by definition it's not technology.

>>543453564
Well maybe I'm alone here but I did grow up on the GameBoy because that's what my family had and it was rare for them to buy anything new. It took years before they bought me a Nintendo DS.
>>
>>543453500
on the contrary, gen z flocking to old consoles and games will raise prices so you can possibly get a hefty bonus from your plastic crap (we are adults now)
>>
Also, zoomers worship remakes of old games rather than just play the old games. They will reeeeee about dated graphics and gameplay then play a remake this is 99.99% the same as all the other crap out there being made.
>>
>>543453397
at least they do sometimes want to play the old consoles as they were? as an alternative to playing shitty smartphone gambling games or w/e

well yes more will probably end up on emulation handhelds and steam in the end but how do you judge the experience of the original otherwise?
>>
>>543453397
Gameboys aren't that bad a deal in 2026 to be honest. Nowadays people make new ones with USB C ports and backlit screens in any color combination you could want and you can just download every single game ever made for them and stuff an EverDrive into them and boom, infinite mobile fun that's not on a cell phone.

wireless controllers worked basically perfectly for a while now but you always had the option for wired controllers

touch surfaces were (mostly) a fad on some gaming devices but never that relevant. keyboard&mouse and controllers with buttons and other devices (driving wheels, joysticks, vr controllers...) with buttons were and still are used more. you shouldn't have to look for long

Modern handhelds like switch, steamdeck, are just a twin stick PSP. There's also the dual screen handhelds which have been very popular in the last year.

They're all the same of twin stick, dpad, start, select, 4 face, 4 bumper and 1-2 touch-screens. The high end ones are more powerful than the steamdeck.

Because modern technology requires a $30 a month subscription with unlimited ad breaks interrupting everything just to experience some broken piece of software that constantly tries to convince you to spend more money and is going to have a third of its features removed and then reintroduced behind a paywall, while older technology simply does the thing it was made for without interruption because you already paid for it.

Lol I distressed and sold counterfeit N64 carts before it was common practice about 12 years ago for a small fortune to millennials. Buy a stock of legit cheap bottom barrel games, remove the front label, stick on the new one and replace the board inside with the counterfeit. AFAIK there isn't any counterfeit gamecube discs on the market and some of those games are hitting $250+ loose. There is still gold in the streets.

They’ll also eventually stop patch support for physical copies, so anything you have on disc including stuff from 10+ years ago will be the broken 1.0 version without even the day 1 patch. If they’re feeling nice maybe they’ll let you pay a subscription so you can patch your discs.

What stuff? What games? All the good games came out decades ago. You don't need day 1 patches to play old games.

All they can do is kill off gay garbage nobody cares about, it's like with movies and TV - nobody cares about the new shit. Even when they wrap it in old garb. You're trying to fight a war that doesn't exist, retro is popular not because people like pixel art. It's because shit wasn't pozzed.

The original DS and the GBA SP both use the same batteries and charger. You have to snip the plastic nubs off the battery to actually get it to fit between the two systems but functionally voltage wise they are the same.

Having an SP and a DS with games as well as some charging cables plus a handful of aftermarket batteries from ebay is the galaxy brain move going forward. DS Lite and 3DS are good but you won't be able to standardize spare parts in the way I outlined.

Broken hinge Nintendo DS systems are cheap on ebay as well and can be converted into Game Boy Macros if screen modding a normal GBA with a backlight is too much work. Lots of options for these handhelds.

Android gaming could have easily taken over the entire industry, a Switch-like device back in mid 2010's would have been the killer app. Google could have easily provided the neccessary software/hardware expertise to make it a success. At the time the best you could do was a Bluetooth controller with a built in phone holder and emulators to play retro rom's. Rather than this happening though, the market produced 50 iPhone clones and filled the app store with Indian shovelware, supposedly because it's more profitable? Considering Steam is the most profitable company per employee ever I refuse to believe it was an accident.

Feature creep, it always kills technology, just look at games. Now every FPS is a COD game reskin, every MMO is a WOW/Diablo reskin, the problem is people get almost everything they ask for and that includes things most other players never wanted. Same thing applies to every piece of technology out there, smartphones were entirely unnecessary as a device, backup cameras and aerodynamics or other features in vehicles. The list is exhaustive, nothing is more BORING or DANGEROUS than being able to do anything and everything. The novelty of older tech reminds people of simpler eras, of a kindness and care once implemented that has long since departed from our society. People want peace of mind and to ground themselves, you can't attain that through feature creep and profit for the sake of imagined progress.

>possibly get a hefty bonus from your plastic crap
dealing with gen z buyers online is a headache. they always want to return or a refund. selling at your own yard sale just attracts retard resellers. i just dump it all at a local store and just take 60-70% of what they're going to sell it for. my time and sanity and not being a hoarder is worth the remaining percentage.

I had a garage sale this summer and is say 90% of the people that came by were resellers. Luckily I used Google lens on everything I thought might be worth something and didn't get taken advantage of too hard but you definitely get worn down and pissed at all the scummy resellers. Ended up packing it up early and donated most of it to a church.

Because people can objectively see that modern tech isn’t improving things.

I love the faggots in 2026 who are still shilling retards to buy a pc for gaming when there’s no point. It only made sense when PCs and consoles had their own separate niches and the graphics for PC were better. I can spend 500 or 600 on a Xbox or PlayStation and have as good of graphics and the same games. Why the fuck would I spend 5000 on a PC?

People are navigating to legacy gaming systems because you don’t have the BS that comes with internet connections, subscription services, spying, etc etc.

It sucks when a car, phone or pc has features that cost money to make but i will never use any of them.

At this point using fucking PC for gaming is more convenient than modern consoles. Even with a little of modding

Digital rights management issues, "always online" modes, "sign in to use {shit thing}" for everything.

Jailbreaking is going to be the new piracy.

the jews want everyone to have a single account. all the companies have been fighting over who has the best system for that. even gaming companies. I remember when I got my first internet / coding job the owner of the company could not shut the fuck up about this. He wanted the single database to rule them all and to charge everyone 50 cents a month or some shit.

every time you log in it has to update
half of the content pay walled
doesn't even work that good(poorly optimized, full of bugs, requires BASEDTX 9099 to run)
online videogames were a mistake
but god damn current single player games don't help either

Cheaper, better.
Shit from SNES to PS2 run on toaster, and is effectively "free".
And said shit has enough bangers to occupy you forever even if you pick only the top 0.01% of each hardware. Meanwhile modern shit is disappointment after disappointment.
Kids are just being cost-savy, both with their money and their time.

>>543453500
Fuck off, neo-boomer. For once the kids make a good decision, you should be encouraging them and giving them tips instead of clutching the meager nice shit we still have.

Crimson Desert is an objectively better game but Palworld is still my GOTY.
