Mikli(@CryptoMikli):Threadguy says video games are now unplayable because of GenZ's short attention span “Fortnite introduced the idea of double stimulation. You’re playing Fortnite, listening to a podcast or music, and talking to somebody at the same time. It set this new standard where I can’t play a game without listening to something else.” “When I’m playing a story game, every cutscene and every bit of dialogue is an excuse to doomscroll. Getting into a game like Elden Ring, which requires complete immersion in the story, is almost impossible, despite how good it is. I think Rockstar might be a little too late. I don’t think I have the ability to do that anymore because I’m completely fried.”
