Exaggerated, but still impassioned.

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.
