lmao

well little timmy back then games weren't really polished or intuitive and lacked resources to come with tutorial sections so we just like read how the game worked. plus since we only had a limited amount of games we could take the time to dive into a booklet and learn the ways of the game.
you kids with your thousands of games on pirate sites and digital distribution platforms don't know how easy you have it

Books? That's lame, they should have a pail of water in them!

But i'm a zoomer

Pull off your pants and spread up your buttcheeks little timmy. it's time for your lesson.

I'd slap him for breaking the number one rule in my house. Never speak to me.

Don't call your son a faggot, he might grow up and be one.

underrated

yes jimmy, back when objects had a singular specialised purpose and excelled in their chosen field, we included game manuals, tutorials and easter eggs in a booklet with a game
now we have low quality generalised and thus diminished performance jack of all trades devices that can do everything but cannot do anything particularly well
i grew up clean and free from the dogma you'll face on a daily basis and i also got to experience life, which is how i moved out, met your mother and had sex thereby creating you
fuck you jimmy
tom is my real son

I cleverly dodge the question by not having kids.

im a late-20s boomer and my 12 yo socially healthy (unlike me lol) sister literally spends all her time on whatsapp and snapchat and shit. Literally all fucking day, she cant go 1 min without her phone to chat with her 200+ friends. I was a pretty standard to hardcore gamer back in the day, playing on my ps1, gameboy, and later PC for hours on end, but i still actually did other stuff like reading, watching tv, listening to music, doing homework. Even though i was spending too much on vidya, it is nothing compared to what zoomers do nowadays on their phones.

imo it was better when you weren't connected 24/7. They will never know the joy of life just by unplugging from the internet. When you were doing ANYTHING, you could forget the world. Be it reading a book, playing vidya, doing homework, going outside. Nowadays you need to check every once in a while if people aren't messaging you, pulling you out of the immersion of life itself. I can't be the only one worried by the overbearing ubiquitousness and meta-ness of tech/internet, right?

He's talking about manuals.

You see, son, back in my day the art book was included with the game.

This is why I don't have sex

Nah I'm there with you. The right balance was having internet on your computer and that really shitty browser on the nice flip phones for occasionally googling quick questions. Increased 'productivity' is great in a vacuum but the reality is that people and work's expectations scale with that - remember when you could believably 'miss calls' for more than a few hours?

Then his sweet boipussy belongs to daddy

Kids these days don't grow up playing with toys. They're weaned on videogames and Youtube.

Play games? Thats for boomers, kids watch Twitch.

If I ever had a son, I would instantly delete all my gigs of anime and never go on Yea Forums again. I never looked at my father the same way after that.

>well son when I was your age I used to use them, but then daddy grew up and became a man and bought a personal computer to play games on. Some day son, you too will become a man and when you do you'll grow out of using little plastic boxes to play games on.

I'd be more concerned if there was a bottle of hand lotion and a box of Klenex sitting on the desk too.

>if you turn out gay I'm kicking you out of the house and disowning you

it was before the internet was big or well-organized, so they included some supplementary details to help explain some mechanics or story to the player

Dad, why are you such a fucking faggot?

What a prick, like you havent ever looked at this kind of shit

Dad?

Devs had hardware and storage limitations back then so they had to put back story, information, and instructions in a separately printed manual. Nowadays you need to sit through 5 - 10 minutes of basic instructions like "use the stick to move, you ponce!"

I wouldn't. I would be questioning where I went wrong as a parent.

Won't say anything. Just go upstairs and hang myself. Little shit has to know that it was his fault, so he gets a special place in the suicide note.

ask myself why i have a "son" if my state doesn't allow single parents to adopt, let alone schizophrenic sociopaths and then cuff him in the basement so he can watch me play doki doki

Your generation is retarded boy they need on screen prompts to tell them what to do

Considering how bad some journalists and lets players are at games, they really should have read the manuals when they were a thing.

They don't want to read or try to understand things on their own, they want the game to show them where to go for the next little piece of the story so they can "finish" it and then move onto the next "experience."

The books tell you how to play the game in case you need help.

You hit the nail on the head user
