  • Well to me, this meme reads like someone assuming Internet was needed to 100% a game, while, at least for me personally and the games I played growing up, 100% just wasn't really a thing. I either beat the game, i.e. beat the final boss/level, or I didn't.

    I even remembered hating achievements and was somewhat let down when they added trophies in a PS3 patch. I never liked the idea of 'achievement hunting' as I felt it detracted from the fun of the game. I find myself doing some of this still today, though I can't help but feel like if they didn't exist, I'd be happier.

    Though to be fair, I never grew up with a Nintendo or anything beyond a Gameboy Color, not did I play many RPGs, including FF. The closest I can think of is collecting all the Pokemon in the first gen games (never owned any others). But of course, that required multiple versions of the game and multiple Gameboys and/or friends.

    Today however, RPGs are some of my favorites and games are an entirely different experience.

  • You can tell this meme was made by a Gen Z/Alpha gamer because games generally didn't used to measure 'completeness' since that's primarily measured today by trophies/achievements.

    Sure, some games might have shown a percentage on your save file and of course you could find/complete everything in a strategy guide, but even those might not have shown absolutely everything including but not limited to Easter Eggs.

    Edit: I grew up with a Sega Genesis, Gameboy, and eventually PlayStations.

  • I was born clubfooted and mine are smaller than average (for 5'11").

    Length-wise I'm probably technically around a 7, but I have a super high arch that prevents me from wearing shoes that size.

    I end up wearing anywhere from 7.5-9 depending on the fit. The toes of my shoes almost always end up curling up over time due to the extra empty space.

  • I loved the Hitman games when I was younger, but somewhere around Hitman Absolution, I just lost interest because of this. They renamed this, resold that, combined this with that.

    Last time I downloaded something, it was to try it in VR when it said there was a VR patch. I couldn't do anything. I found out later, it's only for PSVR 1 and only on PS4 with the camera and a dual shock 4 controller that has the light bar for tracking. Literally nothing explained that anywhere.

    It's an absolute mess and a shame.

  • It's sooo challenging, but I try. Buycott helped for awhile, but I haven't redownloaded since I got a new phone. We typically try to stick to best choice equivalent brands, but I do check the packaging to see if whatever brand is under Nestle.

    The hardest part is convincing my SO to stop eating Stouffer's.

  • For me it's a graph where Y is the likelihood that I will boycott and X how easy/convenient it is to find a replacement inversely related to how terrible said company is.

    So the worse a company, the harder I will work to find a replacement.
