2026. I am still alive. I look at the state of gaming and I feel contempt, clean and sharp.
I like the 32X. I like violence. I like games that bleed and shout and do not apologize for it. GET OVER HERE was honest. It meant something. It did not hide behind menus and mood boards. It hit you and moved on.
My enemies are not the old arcade freaks. My enemies are the Nintendo fanboys. The adult children. The Switch 2 apostles staring at an empty altar. No games. No ideas. Just faith. They clap for tech demos and call it a lineup. They say wait. They always say wait.
Westerners ruined the medium by turning play into therapy and rebellion into branding. Then Nintendo sealed it by selling nostalgia as virtue and absence as design. Cozy lies. Plastic smiles. Another Mario holding nothing together.
I am still here because I do not flinch. Give me blood. Give me speed. Give me excess. Burn the beige. 2026 and the shelves are empty and the fanboys are still smiling. That is the state of gaming.
