GENERATION X EX GAMER !! A PERSONAL OPINION (NOTHING TO DO WITH MONEY) !!! WELL DONE, NOW YOU PISSED OFF ALL SIDES !!!
Getting to the point of GAMESTOP corp or GSE, This company which the hedge fund fuckers where trying to tear apart and make money, I can totally see the redditors point of view, their days were filled with playing games, with everything being taken away from them and technocrats killing society, the gaming world is the next pastime. THINK READY PLAYER ONE but with the surveillance state and the loss of physical cash, more and more privacy is being lost. so why not go back to familiar days, with a view to the future, make some money and stick it to those who think we need their products. Never sell, you can be a share holder of a company that you choose and shape their future with likeminded people and patriots who are fed up with giving money to those who are trying to take away their fweedoms.
COS, YOU GET WHAT YOU FCUKING DESERVE !!!
When i was growing up, as far back as my memory would take me, childhood was a blur of keeping out of the old man's way in case i got smacked round the head for doing something he did not approve of, so fun was playing with the few friends i had at the park, generally playing the goat to get attention, awkward years of a teenager, spots and realizing i had a dick, the thing had a life of it's own, it was a constant battle of trying not to show that i had a hard on, me and a couple of friends would to go to London and play the game of touch a woman's bum and run (arse or ass). Most of the time we got a smack round the head and it would be totally worth it, badge of honour. kek !!
Time at home during curfew or (be in at 6pm or else) would be in your room, fcuking around playing cards or just trying not to make too much noise, hours of boredom, exhausting, so cards or games. T.V was shit, 3 channels, BBC1, BBC2 AND ITV, that was it, cartoons where fun but always violent, sort of slap stick, the programmes always finished with the good guy winning and good moral lessons. Everybody wanted to the be the hero as a kid.
We collected comics, then got into manga cartoons which were much more graphic, then C.B radio to talk with others locally and abroad, then came computers, i am going back as far as the Sinclair tennis game, simple and hours of entertainment. Then the first computer I managed to get was a Commodore 64, bloody slow, the games were decision games, choices made to find your way through clues and a path to victory. The first game i ever finished to the end was Mario brothers, it took weeks of getting through stages to finally beat the last baddie and rescue the princess. The second game i finished was Mortal Combat again more gory but totally worth the time of playing with friends and using the finish him move. kek !! Actually good fun for the loser too, to see what combination of buttons you had learnt and share the final move. My school was a comprehensive school, education was a blur, learned what i needed to and literally get by, then hormones kicked in and it was always about going to clubs and chasing girls, work, drink and clubbing, trying to keep a job to pay the rent after getting kicked out and trying to find a girlfriend, everyone settled down, those friends from good families go t married had kids, I was engaged 5 times, but never asked once to get engaged, always forced into it but one or other emotional manipulation or blackmail done which i fell for and gave in, 5 engagement rings and walking away from 2 homes built, being a surrogate father for 8 years. Watching all my friends get ripped off by their women, kids taken away, committing suicide because of the law courts with the women doing fuck all and the state backing them to the hilt whilst fucking off the blokes who had built everything and have the whole thing taken away because of MUH feelz.
Anyway, getting off track, the high street was the high street, most people knew each other and the shops were local, with fairly good people running them, community life, neighbours who would gather and have parties in the houses and gardens, barbecues, the internet came and then due to demand and options, noticed that every high street started looking the same, progress and laziness to where we are now, death of the high street due to MUH Covid, (the thing is a fcuking cold) if i hear that fcuking term. HELP SAVE THE NHS, WASH HANDS AND SAVE LIVES I am going to kill someone, kek (joke), but i am sure most normal people feel like that.
