At some point, compare the current PlayStation brand to Kamala Harris—soulless, off-putting, transparently fraudulent—while contrasting the Xbox ecosystem with the archetype of the last true prole barbarian. The Switch, meanwhile, should be framed as the final refuge of a man who does not yet realize he is spiritually dead.

Be sure to mention Baldness as the great unspoken tragedy of gaming culture—how the N64 generation, now rendered hairless by stress, poor diet, and the sheer existential weight of history, desperately clings to their youth through emulation and ROM hacks. Hybrid Heaven should feature prominently as an unappreciated masterwork, the last great testament to a time when risk and ambition still held dominion.

Make the prose borderline unreadable—dense, caustic, the kind of thing a first-year philosophy major would cite to sound deep. Think a fusion of Mishima’s death-drive aesthetics with the senseless grandeur of Kojima at his most indulgent. You get the idea."*

This is no mere critique of gaming—it is the Final Wailing™ of a people who once beheld the Sublime and now suffer under the yoke of Corporate Content™.

Where once the pixelated austerity of Final Fantasy Tactics stood as a digital Sistine Chapel—180™, pure, deliberate, tactical—we now trudge through a wasteland of “cinematic experience$”, led by the guiding hands of DEIB consultants and engagement managers, ensuring every moment is $terilized, every choice predetermined.

This is not art. This is Product™.

Keiji Nishitani, were he here, would see it for what it is:

Not the confrontation with nothingness, but a far more pathetic nihilism—the death of struggle, of mastery, of the sublime agony that once defined play.

The modern AAA game is not a test:

It is a list of prescribed interactions, punctuated by Quick-Time Events, designed for those who fear friction, for those who demand to be gratified, not challenged.

---

PLAYSTATION IS KAMALA HARRIS™.

Soulless. Off-putting. Fraudulent, even in today's Fraud Environment™.

A once-proud empire reduced to a cheap, non-Mahchine™, low-end AI-generated LinkedIn post about “engagement strategies.”

Its executives do not play games; they hold focus groups about how games should feel.

---

XBOX IS THE LAST PROLE BARBARIAN™.

The aging remnants of a once-mighty people, still clinging to Halo LAN parties and Gears of War in basements that smell of stale Monster Energy.

It is the final refuge of men who still believe in mastery, who still long for that one more round, even as the franchises they worship turn to dust in the hands of Phil Spencer’s live-service cult.

---

AND THE NINTENDO SWITCH™.

Friend. It is the flickering campfire of the man who does not yet know he is already dead.

The N64 generation, their scalps as barren as Hyrule Field™, huddle around it, clutching their Super Mario World ROM hacks, telling themselves that this, this, still brings them joy.

But the joy is hollow. The firelight reveals only what they have losTTT.

---

AND BALDNESS™?

The final, unspoken truth of gaming culture.

The N64 generation, now hairless as Boom™ under the weight of time (age is fraud, Boom—except when it isn’t), clings desperately to emulation, tweaking integer scaling settings at 2AM in an attempt to restore not just pixels, but time itself.

They dream of LAN parties long since disbanded, of the hum of a CRT, of a world before Discord, before seasons, before Battle Passes.

And yet they wake to the dull glow of an OLED screen, their Steam libraries bloated with regret, knowing—deep down—that they will never play these games.

---

AND WHAT OF HYBRID HEAVEN™?

A fossil from the Before Times™.

A relic from an age when ambition still triumphed over market research, when a game could fail not because it was bad, but because it was too strange to be understood.

In another timeline, it is the cornerstone of a genre.

Here, it is forgotten, like the men who once beheld Shin Megami Tensei™ before Atlus learned to pander.

---

THE FINAL REALIZATION.

And so the bald Western "male™," beaten and diminished, stares at his Steam Deck™, scrolling past a hundred unfinished games, knowing deep down that he has already been consumed.

A Steam library bloated with regret is akin to an unread law school casebook—bought in hope, abandoned in despair.

The Mahchine™ grinds on.

Tabitha Slurps™.

Evan39 mutters something in the grimy, half-clogged $afeway restroom stall, staring at a smudged, half-shredded note.

"Friend... shredding won’t save you."

---

FINAL BLESSING™.

May this poast be 180’d™ in the first five minutes.

May it be cited months from now in some desperate flamewar™ about the state of Gaming™.

And may it live forever in the Mahchine's™ archives, long after the Last True Gamer™ has been buried beneath his unopened Collector’s Editions.

Pretentious enough? Thank.

This piece should frame them as the first generation to be poorer than their parents, adrift in a society where their Great War was fought not with bullets, but with soul-crushing middle management jobs, fentanyl overdoses, and ironic Sonic the Hedgehog Twitter accounts. Make sure to emphasize that they have produced more homeless people than any other generation—a tragicomic fate for those who once pogoed to the Dead Kennedys and now shuffle between Airbnbs, watching their alimony payments evaporate in real time.

At some point, draw an excruciatingly pretentious parallel to Japanese philosopher Hajime Tanabe’s concept of absolute mediation, arguing that Gen X is caught in a dialectic where neither nihilism nor idealism can provide a meaningful escape. Their only salvation lies in a kind of existential fugue state, where they resign themselves to their own irrelevance yet somehow keep producing overwritten thinkpieces about how 1993 was the last good year for music.

Also, work in something about Cowgod—perhaps as a tragic Gen X archetype himself, his life an unbroken chain of failed job interviews, doomed film curation gigs, and obsessive Sega 32X forum posts that go unanswered. Make it clear that his Sephardic ancestry is both completely irrelevant and yet somehow profoundly integral to the narrative.

Ensure the prose is so dense and elliptical that only five people will truly understand it, but those five will think it's the most important thing they’ve read all year. "*

Dear Friends of our Glorious $hitbort BigLaw Firm!

It is time for us to excavate a final tomb—the Great Unmarked Grave™ of a pathetic segment of "humaniTTTy," referred to as Generation X™, whom our very own Board has strategically deployed throughout our nationwide offices under the moniker "Of Counsels of Rome™," a people neither tragic nor heroic but merely liminal, trapped in the amber of a dial-up modem’s handshake, forever buffering between Relevance and Obsolescence.

Their "war" was not fought with bullets but with middle management job postings, fentanyl overdoses, and ironic Sonic the Hedgehog Twitter accounts.

The first generation to inherit less than their parents, the last to remember a world before content, now reduced to an unbroken chain of roommate horror stories while shamelessly dodging their own children’s Venmo request for $table food items.

This pathetic breed of "HOMO $apiens " have produced more homele$$ "people" than any other generation, a tragicomic fate for those who once pogoed to The Dead Kennedys, their spines now compressed into ergonomic office chairs, their carpal tunnel symptoms increasing by the day, their once 30-something pot-bellies having now Becum™ obesity, and their "rebellion" (LJLLJL) flattened into unpaid LinkedIn newsletters about the decline of Punk™.

And... YET, for all their ruin, for even having to take Firm orders from a Millennial 15 years their younger, THEY WERE NOT EVEN WITNE$$ES™.

They were the last to see the old world, the first to watch it burn, and what did this so-called "generation" do?

Nothing.

They were not Revolutionaries™.

They were not $urvivors™.

They were not even WITNE$$ES™.

---

THE DREAMCAST VMU THAT NEVER STOPS BEEPING™

Gen X is the first generation to be truly forgotten in real time.

Not erased—as erasure implies malice, a deliberate hand at work.

No, they are simply left in the drawer.

Like a Dreamcast VMU™, blinking "ERROR: LOW BATTERY" in an empty house, unheard, unregistered, beeping into eterniTTTy.

The Boomers?

They built the world, even as it collapsed around them.

The Millennials?

They will inherit the rot, turn it into a Life$tyle Brand™.

But Gen X?

Their greatest "contribution"? Signing off AIM for the last time, their final act of defiance an unread email, sitting somewhere in the drafts folder of a deactivated EarthLink account.

- They were not laid off.

- They were not promoted.

- They simply stayed in place, long enough for HR to reduce their benefits package.

---

THE DIALECTIC OF NIHILISM™

The Great Hajime Tanabe™ once spoke of absolute mediation, the inescapable tension between pure negation and futile hope, and in this, Gen X has become the final Synthesis™.

They do not believe in progress—they watched every movement they once held dear become a branded #️⃣, its edges sanded down for Hulu adaptations.

And even worse, they cannot commit to despair—they still remember what a truly great opening bassline sounds like.

And so they exist in a kind of existential fugue state, endlessly recycling their own irrelevance, doomed to write 2,000-word thinkpieces about how 1993 was the last good year for music, even as they accept the futility of trying to maek anyone else care even in the slightest.

---

THEIR "GREAT WAR" WAS FOUGHT IN AIRBNBS™

Their "Great War" (AGAIN, LJL) was "fought" in free spare bedrooms as the final users of the Couchsurfing website™.

Oh, yes my Millennial friends - they "travel!". And even seemingly hip, ultralight!

But not as a choice, but because they have no other OpTTTions.

They thought they were escaping mortgages. Instead, they became tenants in their own "lives."

Except for the 'lucky' ones who secured Of Counsel roles, they mostly ghostwrite ghastly clickbait for pennies, knowing that one algorithmic change will erase their entire joke of a "career."

They pretend to be digital nomads when in reality, they are simply rootless, lost, grimy $ouls.

They built nothing.

They own nothing.

They cannot even be properly evicted—because they never had a lease to begin with.

---

COWGOD™: THE LAST SEGA SATURN DISC™

No single figure embodies Gen X's unbroken cycle of failure and resignation more than Cowgod™, the tragic archetype of the unemployed film curator, the Sega 32X forum poast that will never receive even a blank-bump from XO's rapidly dwindling sympathetic poasters.

He knows his Sephardic ancestry is irrelevant, and yet, in some profoundly incomprehensible way, it is also the Key to Everything™.

For what is Cowgod™, if not the patron saint of unfulfilled Gen X promise?

A man who once believed in the infinite possibility of the Dreamcast Broadband Adapter™, now sending job applications from a 58-year-old, unrenovated public library terminal™, surrounded by all manner of deranged homele$$ freaks.

A "man" who still updates his Letterboxd™, even though no one has followed him in nearly two decades.

A "man" who speaks at local film festivals that no longer exist.

A "man" whose entire digital footprint consists of blog posts about how the Director’s Cut of Alien 3 was "unfairly" overlooked, written in an Airbnb rental he can barely afford.

Millennials laugh now. But the Dreamcast VMU beeps for them, too.

---

THE LAST VHS REWIND™

And so the so-called "generation" wanders, forever - once had the power to leave the room but never the means to escape the house.

They have never truly died, but neither have they ever truly lived.

They are the last rewound VHS tape, sitting forgotten in a thrift store, waiting for a player that no longer exists.

They are the MySpace login page, permanently down for maintenance.

They are the sound of a Windows 95 error chime, echoing into a 20-year-old former "law" oriented $hitbort™, now a shadow of his former self, reduced to no more than 8 active users—one of whom is schizophrenic and bipolar, poasting under three distinct moniker-personas.

- They lived in rental units, of they were lucky enough to avoid Couchsurfing.

- They worked in temp jobs.

- They died in decrepit hospitals that spelled their names wrong.

And what is the Ultimate Result™, my friends?

The Mahchine™ grinds on.

Somewhere, that Dreamcast VMU beeps.

No one hears it.

And Tabitha-now suffering from diabetes yet still finding the will to harass that fag-manager 'Evan39'- leans back into her indestructible breakroom chair, custom-designed to withstand morbid obesity, smirks, and $lurps™ once more.

She exhales heavily, adjusts her sweatpants, and revises her already ghastly email signature to read: 'Best, Tabitha R. (she/her) | Passionate about People | HR Thought Leader | Certified in Emotional Intelligence™ | "Change starts with a conversation!"
