This Little Girl Having No Idea How To Use A Gameboy Because It Doesn't Have A Touchscreen Is Depressing As Fuck
Fuckkkkkkkk thattttttt shittttt. My kid has been able to use an iPhone basically since the day we brought her home from the hospital. She can open YouTube on her own, flick up a text message notification from blocking her video before it’s even sent, and if we are being honest, can probably use any app on my phone outside of Twitter better than me. She also doesn’t understand why we can’t watch Paw Patrol whenever we are at someone’s house that doesn’t have it DVR’d and her eyes have never gazed upon a non-HD picture. I know hating millennials has been all the rage lately, but I can’t wait to see how much millennials as well as everyone else on the planet hates the fuck out of this kid’s generation.
I mean that isn’t even an OG Gameboy. That’s a Color Gameboy. It was released in 1998. Even Robbie Fox was alive when it came out. And can you imagine what this kid would have done if there was no color on the screen? Probably thrown it in the garbage. This kid tries to use this Gameboy the same way I would try to start a Model-T. And that makes me very sad. KFC has long said that kids that were born in the 80s and grew up in the 90s were the greatest generation because our formative years occurred in both the pre-internet and post-internet world. We were able to have fun playing outside and playing video games inside. We made due with magazine porn and scrambled porn. Kids these days don’t know how good they have it or will have it down the road.
And that concludes my Gran Torino rant. If you want more talk about kids and toys, check out this week’s Podfathers. Chaps and I break down the latest candidates for the Toy Hall of Fame and have Captain Cons from Zero Blog Thirty on to discuss why flipping off babies is actually okay.
