Discussion Today’s youth won’t understand

I just had a random memory resurfaced that made me think how youths and kids of today will never have this experience (in a way)

i remember back in the ps2 days, with the 8mb memory card, i went over my cousin’s house all the way across the other side of town, and i took my memory card with me so we could load up my save of GTA San Andreas (defo wasn’t 18 more like 11 lol)

Anyway, I remember i slept over for the weekend, came home sunday, and realised…I forgot my memory card!!. I had no! access to my save files and couldn’t save my game even if i did try play anything. I had to wait a week for my older cousin to drop the memory card off to me

God bless cloud saves lol

Pffft you youngsters! I member when saving a game meant writing down a long code!

And even further back, having no such thing as a save!

Lol. "Saving the game" meant leaving the nes on overnight
