To clarify, I of course have no issues with minotities and homosexuals. I just dont like seeing them get hired just for the sake of agenda pushing, especially when they are casting them in roles of well established characters that have never been of that race or sexual orientation.

Its sad that so many diversiry/gay castings are happening and that producers are pushing this agenda more than ever before. Good thing that the we as a nation are wising up to it and starting to reject this stuff.

I understand what you mean, OP. I'm 29 and also grew up playing video games my entire life; I very much prefer retro (6th gen consoles and prior) titles over most modern releases, although not quite for the reason you've described. I don't necessarily find modern games overwhelming or to be sensory overload as you've mentioned, but I do sometimes feel like there's just so much padding and bloat to menus and an excess of superfluous options... I just don't care enough to navigate everything most of the time, unless it is well-implemented into gameplay.

Part of the problem is that I think some games--both old and new--do a much better job than others at creating intuitive UI; if a game has an overabundance of options and windows that pop up, this doesn't feel quite as bad if the process of navigating from screen to screen (or executing whatever command you're attempting) flows seamlessly and requires little backtracking and hopping back and forth to properly complete your task. It's definitely an important piece of game design, and I believe it's just harder for some modern dev teams to implement well, since games are a bit more complicated than they once were.

Anyhow, just my two cents. I feel ya on this! Fortunately, there are a lot of wonderful retro titles that are still as engaging and captivating today as they were upon release, so you're certainly not in a short supply of options. :)

That was well put! Sometimes the way develops do presentation in games can make a load of difference. And yeah, the retro classics will never go out of style and are timeless. I even enjoy a lot of retro inspired games nowadays too.

Yeah I came back to WoW after having not playing for years and suddenly all the different bars and info on screen was overwhelming, I still played but I felt like too much was going on for me to do anything but focus on health bars since I was healing

Games nowadays demand players to multitask more than before and sometimes our brains simply dont have the capacity to process things.

I dont know if anybody else feels the way I do about this, but I feel that a lot of modern video games are too much to keep up with. Example for me are FPS games and certain RPGs. There are so many things that pop up on the screen and countless stuff to keep track of. I dont know how gamers manage to multitask so effectively. Im only 27 and Ive been gaming my whole life, yet I often struggle to keep up with others on games that arent on Nintendo platforms. Granted, I am very much partial to retro games and platformers, so that partially explains why I can gave trouble getting the hang of some modern games. Perhaps there is just a sort of slowness with brain processing I have or I just dont have the patience to keep up with complicated games because Id rather spend my precious time on games that dont demand so much investment.

Every show has to have a token minority or homosexual now. Also, white men are now always shown to be less intelligent or out of touch compared to women or brothas.

I don't hate people but I definitely have limited energy for social interactions. There comes a time where I'm just like "okay I need to be alone now" and it happens pretty quick around a lot of people

This more accurately describes how I feel.

I barely have the patience for even the smallest of interactions with most people in public, and I just prefer to stay home playing video games or watching WWE programming.

Tattoos detract from a persons appearance and they often look trashy.

Why do so many people have them now? They look so ugly and weird. They make people less attractive.
