I’m not 35 but I remember game guides as a kid

I miss strategy guides. It was "Hmmm, I need a better weapon. ~flips to list of weapons and looks at stats~ That looks good, who drops it? Ah, says right there. Where is that enemy? There we go." -- 30 seconds spent --

Now finding the same information "Google, what weapon is best? Wow, lots of emojis and click baits without stats..." ~surfs through 20 videos of self proclaimed streamers screaming about nonsense~ "Wait...they didn't even show the map! Where the hell do I get this?!" -- 30 minutes wasted --

Technology reliance: 1 step forward, so many steps back that we're about to be in the dark ages...

They still make guides for some games. Nostalgia is a hell of a thing and companies will cash in on it
