"Wait… you still play video games?" Oh, sweet summer child. I've always played video games. I played them before you were born. I'll be playing them long after your PS5 starts wheezing in retirement. I was there when controllers had cords, screens had scanlines, and blowing into a cartridge was considered high-level tech support.
It all started with a rectangle paddle and a square ball, and I've been chasing pixels ever since. Sure, the graphics got better, the soundtracks got orchestral, and the storylines started making grown men cry (looking at you, The Last Guardian). But here's the truth: I didn't outgrow video games. They grew with me. They evolved from basement button-mashing to full-blown, emotionally devastating epics with 100-hour side quests and photo modes.
So yeah, I'm still playing. I'm not stopping until my hands give out or someone buries me with my Steam Deck. And if you get it, you're going to love these 31 memes that celebrate the joy, frustration, nostalgia, and utter perfection of being a forever gamer.
