this is just a millenial version of a boomer meme. you guys are really shaping up to become what you hated. complaining about kids these days not enjoying the same shit you did when you were a kid. what next, you gonna complain about how gen alpha are destroying the economy because they're not buying avocados or something?
stop the inter-generational fighting, honestly, it's cringe and a huge distraction from the fact that the rich fucks in charge are looting us for all we're worth. let's fight them, instead of eachother
Don't tell me what I hated.
How did you take this personally? I saw it as a criticism of the industry
I took it as a complaint against the industry not against the players.
Hey dingus, it's not complaining about you, it's about being sad for you that you'll never experience that level of innovation since companies are all "minecraft fortnite skyrim again" and nothing else.
Problem with your generation is that you get offended by anything. You just proved that point. This meme was just to understand the massive graphical improvement that has been going on through the years.
How are you so triggered by this? Holy fuck chill
I have 0 idea how you could have read that from the image. It's about the seemingly exponential improvement in graphics or just how fast things were changing in gaming.
Zoomers will do this in 40 years too. Same as it ever was.
lol chill
Bro, take a deep breath, that is just a meme. People can be nostalgic sometimes, there is nothing wrong with that.
except its not just nostalgia, is it? over 50% of this meme is dedicated to dumb culture war shit.
No it's comparing the acceleration in graphics between the two time periods. If anything the bottom quote is more showing pity to the younger generation for missing out on the rapid advancement, not somehow calling them stupid for missing it.
it's not, at all. if it was comparing graphics between two periods why are all three of the bottom screenshots fortnite? why not compare red dead redemption 2, the last of us, and mario kart wii, or something?
or why not show world of warcraft for the top 3?
clearly it's implying that zoomers only play fortnite or that games haven't improved in 10 years, and that's all a bunch of bullshit. baldur's gate 3 was the first game ever to win all of the major awards.
This is how I took it as a millennial. Hit me in the feels too.
Yeah I agree on the cringe part
