    Kids growing up today will never know

    It’s funny that the author chose to use Tony Soprano in their article, because one of my favorite quotes from that show was when Tony said, “Remember when is the lowest form of conversation.”

    Kids growing up today have a different childhood and will have their own “Remember when” on the internet.

      Its like people saying “my kid is gonna play n64!” And be completely anachronistic with their generation? Not that fun tbh. Everything changes, but the shape remains.

          They won’t. They’ll play roblox and whatever other games the other kids are playing and thats fine. My N64 sits in the toy room, connected to the TV, wishing my brother and I were children again.

              I do, but I meet them on their games, I only put them on to something of mine if they ask. So far the only game from my collection that they like is Spyro the Dragon and sometimes Rain World.

                    I get that but surely at some point they were not really choosing games but just watching what you were doing? Didn’t they ever want to do your things? grab for the controller or such?
