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
complaining about kids these days not enjoying the same shit you did when you were a kid
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.
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.

Bro, take a deep breath, that is just a meme. People can be nostalgic sometimes, there is nothing wrong with that.
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.
I think it’s fair to say games have improved at a similar rate. there have always been masterpieces. I think there are more per year now, just because the industry is bigger.
but technical graphics have largely stagnated. partially because nobody can afford a new graphics card, partially because it gives diminishing returns. I also think we are largely past the point where technical limitations in graphics keep people from making any piece of art they want to, and actually using a lot of the capacity for stuff requires a ridiculous amount of work from an increasingly varied array of artists, for, again, massively diminishing returns.

How did you take this personally? I saw it as a criticism of the industry
How are you so triggered by this? Holy fuck chill
Zoomers will do this in 40 years too. Same as it ever was.
lol chill
I took it as a complaint against the industry not against the players.

except its not just nostalgia, is it? over 50% of this meme is dedicated to dumb culture war shit.

This is how I took it as a millennial. Hit me in the feels too.
Don’t tell me what I hated.
Yeah I agree on the cringe part
