Saying "21 year old emulated game" = triggers people, why?

How much does this trigger some of you?

Stating a fact that we played, or some of you still do play a 21 year old emulated game shouldn't be a trigger. It's....the truth rofl.

Heck I still hit up DOSBOX and smash some Whacky Wheels on my Mobile.

Let's not be so PC people.

What does the age of a game have to do with people being upset?
Is it OK to be upset in a game that is new but never when it is old?

Perhaps it is dealing with idiots that believe this fallacy that upsets them?
Perhaps it is hearing the fallacy over and over again that upsets them?

People shame projecting playing a 20+ year old elf sim while windowed-out of the same game in the midst of arguing with some asshole gnome about a stationary group of ogres in a half-completed zone inside of a 21 year old elf sim.

I'm old, so I used to play actual Sim- games, like SimFarm or SimCity. In fact, I'm so old that when I say that, I don't mean any of the new-fangled versions like "SimCity 2000": I mean the original SimCity.

I haven't played them in awhile, but even so every once in awhile when I read some post here about "elf sims", instead of thinking of EQ I start to imagine Sim-Elf (like a fantasy version of Sim-City) ...

It's because it means in part that everything is done and nobody should be as caught up in what's now a casual pastime. If people got passionate about Pantheon (when its new) and "beat" a new game then it's fundamentally different than playing Mario 1 for the 100th time after every guide has been exhausted and cheat revealed.

In short, there's no glory, nothing to conquer, and no pride to be found. So, you don't deserve to show pride and if you do it probably means your list of people to send holiday cards to is very, very short.

This is a game to you people?!

Because people here pretend they don't want instancing but they cry when they don't get 20 year old pixels at their convenience

It's pwning once the first groups went through, did the things to feel prideful about, declared it done then found interest forum pwning people getting their sloppy seconds.

That is our generation of gamers. Hey, least you guys are not on Reddit crying about people hurting your feelings in games that have no where near the hook original EQ does... because internet anon went out the window for selfies and status updates so this online shit is for really reals.
