Top kek m 8 A 1 bantz good shit right there # original jfc man talk about beating a dead horse <| sep |> never tried them , heard both good and bad . <| sep |> 36 year old gamer here . My intro to gaming was Donkey Kong on Calecovision back in 85 . So yea , had this as my hobby since the 8 bit era . And I completely get where you ' re coming from . I remember playing TMNT on the original NES . Yea , THAT version . A game so hard that as an 8 year old there was no plausible way I was beating it . But I kept at it . Defeat after defeat . I continued to grind at it until I beat it . when I was 9 . Yes . took a whole year to best one game . And we had no save points . Of course 89 was also the year I first put a quarter into my first arcade game . Street Fighter . Long story short . and I say this with no intent to insult younger gamers , but a big factor in why us old dogs don ' t quit and play the same content over and over is because we come from an era where we had no choice . The only way we were beating the games of our youth was grinding it out , getting our asses kicked and learning patterns and procedures to eventually overcome the challenge . Back then games were made to challenge first , entertain secondly . It ' s the polar opposite now . and us late 20 searlymid 30 s gamers . we ' re not the ones who demanded that change .
