One one hand, yes. Kids will grow up with shitty expectations.

On another hand, every generation goes through that, not understanding what the kids these days are up to.

On a third hand, there will always be a group of kids that learn an appreciation, either handed down to them from their elders or through pure curiousity, of the older generations offerings.

On a fourth hand, Goro.

On a fifth hand, happy New Years, Luispurr and company.

On a sixth hand, we’re entering Vishnu territory.

I think one of my concerns has long been that people brought up on today’s garbage (be it our books, movies, art, or video games) will be unaware of what has gone before. And, unaware that what has gone before is, in many cases, far superior to what is currently on offer.

The joy of playing Super Mario Bros. for the first time is something they will never experience. And, worse, thanks to a fixation on graphics above gameplay, might be something they are unequipped to appreciate.
