Another memory I have was buying the Oblivion 5-year anniversary metal box thing that came packaged with a super ragged-out strategy guide for about $10. I remember reading it while playing the game and constantly being amazed by all the cool shit you could find and do, like going a guild of mages, become a vampire, and travel the realm of a god of madness. Never in all my years have I been able to replicate that feeling of sheer wonderment towards anything.

back in my day we used to be stuck on a level for days or even weeks, even closing the game for a few months only to come back to it and cracking it. Zoomers are so spoiled with technology, but it's kind of ironic they're also the generation that can't fend for themselves. God I hate homosexuals like you.
Unless you grew up gaming in the 80's you're outright lying. You always had access to information you just never sought it out. Or you just never had internet access but that's a personal problem.
The internet was a lot more foreign and stranger back then, a lot of kids didn't really mess with it even if it was there. Or their parents didn't let them, etc.
Yeah, no. Anytime we were stuck on a game we would ask friends at school what the frick you were supposed to do. There was always that kid that had the gaming magazine subscription with all of the maps and secret shit.
I used Chuggaaconroy back when I started TTYD but that was because I enjoyed the information and trivia that comes along with the playthrough and less because I was "intimidated" by a Mario RPG.
Games are usually easy enough to beat nowadays.
I'm a 22 year old zoomer and remember doing this as late as the 3DS. I remember the setup moment when the 3D started blew my mind in the backseat of my mom's car.
That's me as a 30 year old man when I opt to not bring my phone with me to the toilet and instead grab some old nostalgic game with me to look at the box of and read the manual while I shit
I did that with plenty of games.
You seem to forget that generation z still had things like the Wii and the DS, when digital ganes weren't that common.
Literally and unironically reading the wiki pages about how mechanics work
or for actual <18 zoomers probably watching streamers and LPers play it..............
>The short window of anticipation where you have the game, but have to wait a while to play it
I guess the process of downloading and installing a game?
I mean, you can still buy physical games from the store, and instead of the manual just read the back of the box... Not really that different >inb4 UHUHGUHAUFDAI GAMING THESE DAYS SO MANY UPDATES HURRHURR IM A homosexual BOOMER HOW DO I CLICK THE BOOK
shut the frick up larp'er. Us millenials caught the tail end of that with the PS3/360/Wii era of gaming.
Going on on Tiktok and saying fr fr no cap
They still do that.
They own the digital editions of the consoles and just dl the games
Scrolling through Reddit and Twitter for 20 hours looking for memes to post in their discord.
Zoomers watching streamers play their game they can't afford because they wasted it all on sub money
going on youtube and watching elsa and spider-man play in a ball pit with the game's main character
Watching video game essays and posting about ecelebs on reddit and Ganker
watching a let's play and then b***hing about the game on Ganker
>let’s play
AHAHAHAHA LOOK AT THIS DUDE
HE THINKS ITS 2008
AHAHAHHA HE IS PROBABLY OVER 30
looking at ads on their console of choice's dashboard whilst waiting for a 70GB patch to download
I did this and I'm a zoomer, I distinctly remember doing this with Pokemon White and being excited to catch and use Zekrom

the vampire thing really got me in oblivion
you could become a fricking vampire, and it really changed how you played the game
same. i did this with halo reach the morning it came out.
Watching the same Tiktok/Youtube short on repeat
Remember in 2016 when "millennial" was used to refer to increasingly younger and younger people? RSE is zoomer core.

Getting groomed on discord as they listen to the new rap beat that dropped.
For me it was renting snes games at the movie store. I was already in my teens during xbox playing on my own pc, Pentium 4 and GF4Ti./spoiler]

Literally just that but instead it's for the Nintendo DS. In fact pretty sure this tweet made by a zoomer.
I can remember that with that exact game: the place, the weather, the car. Frick.
Reading through the patchnotes while the game updates

>get home
>too scared to play it
Playing with the fentanyl-laced xanax they just bought from a black teenager on the uber home, excited to get to OD on it.
I did this and Im a millenial. Specifically I remember doing it with both Brawl and Melee
I did that with plenty of games.
