>>9142947>It's liking a genre because they're oldexactly. it's the cargo cult of the zoomer. they want to bring back the mythical "good old days" of the 90s that they only experienced through the lens of popular media. they worship old (from their point of view) things: retro games, christianity, pre-industrial subsistence farming (i.e. the retards who worship ted kaczynski) , simply because they're old but without understanding HOW and WHY these things existed in the first place. for example: early fps and rpg games not having a mini-map was not a conscious decision to make the game more difficult or 'hardcore', it was merely a product of the technical limitations of the time. if baldur's gate had been originally released in 2020, it would have a mini-map.
basically, zoomzooms believe that worshipping idols of the past will bring the past back. it won't.
goddamn it, somebody better fucking read this, i'm getting old and don't have the energy to do this shit every single day anymore.
