Yeah I'm also wondering how she possibly got such a short name, she's maybe 16/17 at my guess has an insane set up and the amount of retro stuff she had is insane.
I'm thinking maybe a millionaires kid or something but she does seem so into retro stuff my brain just can't compute it.
But yeah she appeared out of nowhere about 6 months ago and her YouTube name is actually just Kari.
Yeah I'm bad at judging age of girls/women I think and always err on the side of caution. That's a possibility she could well have achieved it herself.
My main wonder is how someone at that age gets fascinated by retro over the latest shinys. I mean I have nostalgia for certain older games and such but I still kind of would have all the latest stuff if I could.
You do not miss old games. You miss being a careless happy kid.
You can easily ignore the whole corporate AAA games-as-a-service bullshit.
There was never a better time to be an indie gamer. Arcade, platformer, racing, RPG, shooter. You can find a GOTY contender in each category under 5 USD each year.
Exactly this. For me it becomes obvious, when I play older games. Sure, A Link to the Past is still a gem, Super Metroid or SMB3, too. But many of those older games, we have fond memories of, kind of suck today. Just a bit, they are still fun. But the magic is gone. Saw that with Sands of Time a few weeks ago. Then the System Shock Remake came and gave that sense of wonder back.
Downloads are no problem. Disk space is cheaper then ever. Go have fun discussing games on Lemmy while waiting for the download, watch a Video about it or whatever. It is just harder to have fun, because we have sooo much to choose from and because some of us became old grumpy farts (myself included).
Grew in that age too. Just cause you are playing games that are shitty doesn't mean games are shitty now. The game market is bigger than it's ever been. Game has forced online play and microtransactions? Don't buy it.
There was tons of absolute garbage in the 80s. There's tons of great stuff now. If you've lost your sense of discovery that seems more like a you thing than a "games are bad now" thing.
