    Sucks for them if they have to limit their Internet perspective to a shitty little phone screen. I’d still rather be the cool dinosaur with my gaming desktops with big screens and mechanical keyboards.

    My kids love gaming on the desktop computers too - that’s the Trojan horse (games) that gave me motivation to learn how to use computers in the first place. Gotta learn how to work the computer to get the games to work.

      Yep I feel the same.

      However, you can plug that little crappy phone into a DEX hub with a KB/mouse/monitor and play witcher 3 which is cool.

      Not my jam though. I like to actually own my hardware, and be able to repair it. Something phones will never do.

      A lot of it was due to how awful windows is, folks gave up trying to work around all the bullshit and said a phone is easier.

      I totally feel you. Something to be said for our era where it took work to make games work and that gave me a baseline of computing knowledge. Kids today play on browser or hit download on steam and it works. Which is fine. But they get 0 learning from it. Hence why Young’s are idiots at computers unless parents teach it outright.
