Are you fucking serious? They're 10. Why would 10 year olds know what Donkey Kong Country is?

That aside, eh. I didn't know what a VIC-20 was when I was 10 either. Give it time.

You could have just pointed them to DKCR/3D or something

You're also forgetting that this is the series that has been dead for over a decade (before DKCR anyway), of course they're not going to know what it is

"What's DKC?" the enthusiastic children inquired.
>uhh mumble umm
"What a weird guy," they mused as they left the store, still oblivious to the joy of Donkey Kong Country.

Way to go. You could have shown them some cool-ass games.

Wait, why is this a bad thing? We don't need another generation of hipster faggots who nutride games made before their mom shat them out of her crusty vagina.

You do understand that you are not 10 now, right? And that they are 10 now?

Do I need to explain time? Because it's complicated.

Rather than going full autist, I just told them to get a PSN card and look on the PS Store.

I mean, that's like if a grown man in the 80s asked 10 yo kids about Howdy Doody. Same reaction.

It sounds like DKCR was what they were buying.
Unless OP is so autistic he brings up DKC when kids are buying Cabela's Survival or something.

Don't come here looking for people to consolidate your hate for the younger generation and agree with you on everything, that's not what /vr/ is about.

Get out.

>> No.683510

>People ask you about something you like
>Get upset they don't already know about it
>Fail to introduce them to it

It shocks me how many people apparently do not enjoy teaching others about things they enjoy. They would rather just be upset everyone is not already exactly like them.

Double for the people in this instance being young children who have not even had time or opportunity to learn these things.

Like I said, they'll find out about it eventually. I didn't know a lot of things when I was 10 and that was pre-Wikipedia. If anything, children now can find information much easier.
