Having a parent in their 60s that’s an avid gamer but still endearingly kinda boomer-ish about it is hilarious my mom has a sizable Steam library and the other day she flagged me down asking me “What are all these pop ups?? They’re so annoying!” Turns out it was all the achievements for this game she’s been blasting through. A few days later she sent me a blurry photo of her computer screen on archive.org alongside a text asking “What’s an ISO image?” then a follow-up text 20 minutes later with a blurry photo of her playing the game with an addendum of “nevermind I found a guide on Reddit”
