Modern Gaming isn't fun, it's an obligation. It's a dystopic hellscape bastardizing the things we once found enjoyable about video games, and this video is a cathartic take on exactly why that feeling of resentment towards this new wave of entertainment exists within a lot of people who grew up gaming in the 70's, 80's, 90's, or early 2000's.
This is a comedic video essay on the state of modern gaming. Strap in. it's not going to agree with you.
I leave out some context occasionally for the sake of the joke. It's ok, everything is fine. Please don't be upset.

I miss being able to unlock everything in a game by simply playing.

This is the exact kind of rant I've never had the energy to properly formulate.

staring at your steam library full of games, wanting to play but not finding anything "fun" is a painful feeling

Speaking of modern gamers, they inarguably are spoiled, living in heated houses, with electricity. In ancient times, as one might call the 1980s, modems were running with charcoal, and gamers had to fight off sabretooths just to reach the floppy disk. They actually used a living mouse, clicking on their ears. And a rub on the little rodent's head replaced the modern mouse.

this felt like a 6 hour video condensed into a 30 minute video rollercoaster of broken dreams and disappointment

This man woke up and chose violence but Iām sure the older gamers feel him 100%

"Fuck you, grind for cat ears" is hilarious. Because the example shown in the video can't be obtained by grinding. It was only available by using real money!

The most significant reason why modern gaming sucks is it's becoming more and more like any other business sector in the entertainment industry in that it's more focused on profit than fun.

As a game designer this video was absolute catharsis! Thought it was just me going insane, like I just forgot how to enjoy new games, but all of this breakdown hits the nail exactly on the head.

The kazoo sound so effectively and accurately defines the industry now.

I think the main issue of gaming right now is stagnancy, AAA Corps want to do nothing but generate money and feel like the current setup is perfectly suited for that. In the 1990s and 2000s, everyone was expanding in every direction possible to see what would work and that just isn't necessary for them anymore.
There's always going to be good games coming out and this slump may very well change some day, but I do share your frustration.

This video spoke to my very soul. This is exactly why I'm so huge on emulation and older PC games. The funniest thing is that I'm now playing games I've never ever played before and so have no nostalgia for, and yet, those games are still better.

God damn bro, that Jeremy bit hit uncomfortably close to home.

You know, I think this 29 minute video is what ive been feeling for the past few years. I just didnt know how to explain it properly, and you did. I started playing video games when my friend introduced me Red Alert 2 when I was 9 years old. At 28 it really does seem over. I think im done playing video games.

"It's the best time to be a gamer" no, it's the best time to be a game publisher.

I'm actually impressed he doesn't touch the "half-solved puzzles and every character won't shut up's problem" of many single player games.

I put out a Channel Update video, make sure you check it out: https://youtu.be/IoDYOai0XwY Follow me on Twitter: twitter.com/selfdeficientyt I just wanted to say that I'm absolutely floored that people are connecting with this video. This was a pure passion project. I have a good job, but this was (as I described to my friends) a labor of hate. It took me a year believe it or not. Not working full time on it obviously, but the idea percolated for like half a year, script took months, audio was cut and edited before I cut it to any video and that took 2 months, and the video took around 2 months to cut together. I will try and make more videos. I have a couple of ideas. I'm cutting together an update video to shed light on the making of this video and the direction of the channel. I am inflammatory. It's OK if you disagree with me! This video was just supposed to have the vibe of a psychotic rant I'd have with my closest friends who were sick of me refusing to shut up about this subject. I'm not the authority on what you enjoy. Thank you sooo SOOO much for giving a shit, and engaging with this video. All you early subs seem very excited for me and that's fucking wild! Never thought this would break 1,000. I'll see what comes next. Follow me on my socials on the channel page. Maybe I'll start a Patreon? I can't pump content out quickly, and hopefully people understand that. Give me your ideas!!!
