I don't know about any of you guys but I always feel a little bit of guilt for playing and enjoying games while fandoms and such have been established long before. exhibit a: when pokemon go came out I had 0 interest in it until I went back to school and I hung out with a group of guys that were all really into pokemon go and we went around the shopping centre playing it and then by time I got home that day I downloaded it and my cousins that were all pokemon everything since childhood were being all judgy, and since then I've started playing other pokemon games. exhibit b: I was hesitant to get the nintendo switch since there weren't any games that really interested me but I thought I'd give breath of the wild a go and I'm really enjoying it but I realise I'm not understanding any of the references/ easter eggs all the while I watch a bunch of youtubers that are all like hngggg this music, this everything is so nostalgic and i'm here like wat? watwatwat?
am I wrong to feel this way?
