How did we get here? Which game started this? I know Earthbound is in the meme but I mean which, at the time, new release was the first game people felt compelled to play and participate in because of the online meme hype rather than because it was good
Undertale

>>720980528zoomers and alpha. but there's so many of them on here now that if you call that out (which is the truth) they shit their pants and start ranting and derailing the thread. Both of those generations are hardwired at the genetic level to obsess over FOMO, what streamers and goyfluencers tell them to like, and social media posts of them playing a game that they never have any intent of finishing. That's how we got here.

>>720980528>then>anons play games then shitpost about them>now>anons shitpost about games but never play themtale as old as time, really, just stay out of touch and enjoy yourself, that's the most gamer cred you'll ever earn
>>720980528I think I'm done with Silksong. It's just not fun. It's frustrating. I'm a grown man, I don't get a sense of achievement from video games anymore. When I'm gnashing my teeth to progress in something I genuinely don't enjoy I have to ask myself why?

>>720982284>start game >play game >don’t finish itwhat is this phenomenon? Am I hyper autistic for NEEDING to finish a game I start no matter how shit it is or are they the weird ones?
>>720985872They either lied about playing it or they were too dumb for the puzzles and had to stop.

>>720980528>people play shitty games they don't like because.. it's trendy and they think it'll get them online social cloutTrue, I'm glad great games like Silksong still exist. Best 60 hours I've spent this year.
