I found Electric Underground and Mark red pilled me

I just went searching YouTube 1 month ago and found his channel because I’ve been getting more into retro gaming via emulation and now my entire perception of modern gaming has changed and I’m acutely aware of how unappealing most titles are now. Before it was just a vague fatigue that I didn’t have the ability to diagnose the problem on my own. I think it was the Stellar Blade review that really hammered the point home. Now I just want to play old Shmups and Arcade games (I even bought an Arcade stick, something I had no idea I even needed/wanted before). Every time I try to play a modern game now, I just think about the gameplay density thing and feel like I’m wasting my time (which I don’t have a ton of free time for gaming being a busy person in my mid 30s). I’m still grateful though and feel like my eyes have been opened for the first time in a long time about gaming and it makes me really appreciate the newer indie games and odd major release that is actually doing something special and breaking away from the norm.
