just noticed that XO seems to like 80s and 90s video games a lot. is it related to why we love pre-lib america so much?

I certainly fit into this category but I don't think there's a correlation.

I did vote for Obama the first time, after all.

tbh it's probably just that people tend to like things from their childhoods.

yeah fair enough. people who grew up with these games are by default more conservative because they're older and whiter.

It's basically:

1) playing as a kid everything is magical: the music, characters, etc. plus games stimulate your imagination a lot

2) libs ruining games recently (gamergate, horizon zero dawn, etc.)

older games are also more simple and conducive to casual playing. as you get older, you have more responsibilities and lose interest in investing your time and energy into big long games. you just want something to fire up and get a couple dopamine hits
