my nephew cant be bothered to read anything over 3 words and he just answers everything kk so i take it to mean “whatever i got it shut up now” even if thats not what it means. usually when hes asking me to fix something hes broken on his computer by not reading things before he clicks. a computer is not an ipad.
all these kids today act like the internet is their life. they are gonna be pro gamers or youtube stars. but they refuse to put in the slightest effort into any of it.
they all say they love games but only about 90% at most do. how do i know? ask them whats the last single player game they have beaten? ask them what they play when the internet is out or their friends arent on. they look at you like you grew 2 heads? play games without online multiplayer? or when my friends arent on? what you want me to squad up with randos and spend time learning how to play? do something besides playground mode on fortnite? why?
i know they are all not like this but i would say over half are. and they lie so much. like their life is supposed to be a youtube video where they get ferraris for their 12th birthday. so they have to lie to make sure that everybody doesnt know they are regular people.
im old and cynical but at least i know pubg mobile is not a real game.
