He just got old OP. It happens. And now he's scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to make mid games seem shit since he's talked about most all of the old shit games.

2005 was great. We had eminem before the lawsuit, GWoT, the Nicholas Cage movie where he sells guns to an african warlord, Robin Williams and Stan Lee and Steve Jobs and Michael Jackson were still alive. The only thing that's improved in the past 20 years is RuneScape.

It wasn't, but you can't deny the post-2010 decline of basically everything.

Immigration destroyed all the trust in Western societies, the internet and information flux destroyed any trust people had in religion and the Americans getting their shit pushed in in Iraq and forcing wokeism on every other country destroyed any trust in politicians or the future.
Add to this the rise of smartphones and people just not learning how to make small talk and it's just a huge heap of cancer that is grinding everyone down. Any one of these individual things would have been alright if it was isolated, but it all happened at the same time over the last 20 years and people are all burnt out and confused because it happened so slowly. One person says it's the end of society, another will say everything is fine because they haven't noticed.
Nobody has trust in anything anymore basically.

The 2008 cataclysm, which sped up the outsourcing to slaves, making the Western economy perma-shit and hell for autists.
Then fuck apps and social media ruined everything from 2012 onwards, and inflated the inceldom pandemic into the mainstream.
Though the economic rot set in back in the 1970s, it has been noticeably shit and has been getting worse since 2008. Fuck the globalists.

I feel like society is operating on so many layers of abstraction, that people have lost the ability to see what's right in front of them.

Like, the last year that felt normal to me was 2012. Everything since then is really weird.

He reviewed Simon's Quest (1988) in 2004.

The equivalent of that today would be reviewing Borderlands or Resident Evil 5 on Playstation 3.

I always say the fact that we're online 24/7 now is a major reason. That and it takes zero internet knowledge to be connected. At least in the 2000s there was some barrier to entry.

James Rolfe has aged way better than the average person. He barely even looks 30 despite almost being 45.

It was always shit, the feeling of things going to shit is caused by the change in you. As you slowly realized things were shit.
