>>54900455>Was shiny hunting ever really fun?The act of hitting 5 buttons on loop until the green dragon is black? No, it wasn't fun.
But you found ways to make it fun. You would share your catches with other lucky people on forums, or at the lunch table. It's like gambling. Pulling the lever is not fun. The endorphine rush of winning is what you remember, though.
Yes, it's too easy now. The endorphines come from thinking you "overcame the odds". The higher the odds, the higher the rush.
And don't lie to yourself. We all do it for the rush.
I do judge you on how you shiny hunt. Yes, I am gatekeeping your pixels.
But the rub, you see, is that I don't shiny hunt anymore. I will chase a new high while you rake in your easy wins.
