    I hate this >:( Let me exaplain myself. What I hate is that way that people see videogames, like, if you play something old you are stuck in the past, but hey! If you read a book that is 100yo or watch a movie that is 40yo it is okay! but if you play in atari, what are you? a caveman?

      That stigma seems to be getting slightly better, but it’s always bothered me.

      “OMG you’ve been playing that game for hours! Why don’t you go DO something! You’re rotting your brain!!” -Someone who’s about to sit in front of the TV until they fall asleep.

        I must not operate in those circles. I’ve never heard that before, but I’m also old and playing old games and fewer newer ones.
