When did beating a game become the equivalent of a participation trophy?

>>716477482 (OP)
around the ps1 era. maybe even earlier

Whats so difficult about opening a can? Just nibble it like a beaver

>>716477482 (OP)
Maybe they should have taught him to dot that instead of raising a retard.

>>716477482 (OP)
It's an unnecessarily complicated tool for a simple job. Having a can opener with gears and shit is equivalent to the onions bottle opener. I just have a normal manual one.

I don’t know why they’re like this. Every single fucking thing I had to figure out myelf with zero assistance, shaving, jobs, friendships… other than going to college, which my parents threw down a ton of money but once again didn’t bother to offer any direction so I ended up with a useless meme degree.

lmao the filter is still in place, you know what I mean

>>716477707
It's significantly more convenient. It opens cans faster and the resulting cut is smoother.

>>716477570
this, older people really expect me to instantly have knowledge about something "technological" when is probably the first time in my life seeing it

>>716477482 (OP)
Why didn't his parents or public school teachers teach him how to open a can?

This is the only can opener I've ever used, but I don't even remember the last time I used it, must be like 20 years ago at this point. All the cans have tabs on them nowadays

>>716477798
wow you save like 5 seconds, how many fucking cans do you open in a day for that to significantly affect your life in any way? This is like people passing on the highway only to turn off a bit later. wow, you saved like a whole 20 seconds, way to go!

Even stupid little kid me realized how degenerate it was

>>716477925
Why do you feel so strongly about people using tools that make life slightly easier?

>>716477570
No one taught me how to use one. Doesn't take a genus to figure out that you have to somehow get the sharp circular blade against the can.

>>716477909
Still handy when a tab breaks

When I was playing Factorio it took me like 10 minutes to figure out how pumps work, and I immediately thought of this webm while I was struggling.

>>716477787
kek it do be exactly like that
I think television completely mindfucked boomers

>>716477925
It doesn't. Just like how having basic mechanics on my can opener doesn't cause me to have an autistic breakdown on /v/.
It works, it's easier and it's faster, and this angers you for some reason.

>>716477968
Not him but to be fair speedrunning opening cans is pretty fucking stupid.

ive always felt like that video pairs really well with this ponderous song invoking a sense of exploring uncharted territory. perhaps an individual discovering lost ancient technology?

>>716477482 (OP)
You know that's already the easy mode can opener right? I big you can't even use the hard mode opener

>>716477871
The first time I used a can opener I studied it for a few seconds and knew exactly how it worked, sad that gen tard can't figure it out, probably because they were raised on canned food

>>716478045
i guess you have to press the link to listen on youtube, its just a mass effect song.

Not being taught how to do/use something is not a problem or the problem. Being a genuine dipshit who purposefully doesn't learn (boomers) is the problem. It doesn't matter how many times you teach or tell them how to use technology, they willingly don't remember or care. That is the problem. A kid not knowing how to use a can opener when they've never done so isn't a problem but a teaching moment. Though I suppose them not being able to intuit it is also a problem.

>>716477482 (OP)
It genuinely depresses me that there's an entire generation that got dickall for parenting and were basically just an entertaining pet. It's not a "tee hee hee was too busy being in his phone amirite?" moment on display here, it's a simple failing of actually teaching and guiding the next generation. Simple necessities like cooking, cleaning, self care, common sense probably would've died out if you couldn't search that stuff up.

>>716477482 (OP)
Boomers suck at explaining how to do anything with your hands and get mad and give up when kids don’t get it right immediately. Bad teachers lead to bad students.

My favorite is when they ask you for help and then argue with you
And then do it again next week

>>716477787
It's a fucking can opener. If you can't figure it out in 5 seconds you genuinely might be clinically retarded. And I'm saying this as a zoomer (I think I'm not actually sure what the cutoff is nor care enough to check)

As soon as games stopped being designed around the philosophy that informed predatory arcades trying to Jew you out of as many quarters as possible.
