I basically had like 2 friends and I was much better at street fighter 2 turbo and mortal kombat I played with my brother for a little and beat him as well. We would play beatem ups for 2-3 hours finish and never play it again lol. Online gaming would have took over my life as kid lol

That's not a positive though. My kids will not come out of their rooms, both playing online nonsense with their friends. And hard to convince them when we have heat warnings every day.
My oldest pretty much plays Ark/Rust/Rocket League all the time. Contrast to when I was his age, we had a few regular games but played tons of different C64, Amiga 500, MSX and PC games together. (Of course piracy was rampant, less than 1% of the games we played were actually paid for. Hence NES/SNES were out). My youngest is a bit more adventurous with gaming but still mostly sticks to Roblox and Fortnite. Meanwhile I have about a thousand quality (physical) games in my collection ready to be played at any time from PS2/GC/XBox until now. They used to play some of those yet after getting addicted to online, no more... Yes online gaming does take over the lives of kids :/

I agree with you it's not good but i was just saying in terms of not being bored by games it's endless now and can take over your life easily. like in the 90s most of the popular all time great games would be finished or be done with them within a 1 week to a month max. In the 90s i would just rent games and be done with in 1 week lol. Now games are massive with so much content, QOL save points, and online play that gaming just never gets boring, and on top of that you have thousands of games available via emulation.
