I don't think anyone born past the early to mid 90's seriously struggled with any kind of tech, so they can't troubleshoot. I feel like an old man preferring PCs to mobile crap, but at least I'm able to figure shit out if either malfunctions. I just don't understand how anyone can prefer a mobile interface over a good old point and click GUI. Mobile is fine when I don't have access to my laptop, but the laptop is far more useful.
There's also a portion of doing that sort of activity and getting it formated and working that doesn't seem to be part of the "common Z experience"
What I mean to say is the last time I was sick and stayed home from work I spent 8 hours straight trying to get a stupid Candyland cereal box game from when i was a kid to work on my computer. The process included installing Windows 3 in dos-box, before eventually giving up and running a virtual windows 98 machine in PCem, which I had never used before.
Last night I spent 3 hours getting Marvel Ultimate Alliance to work on my computer with mods and all from scratch. Even though I HAVE a fully set up copy in my backpack on a hard drive.

I haven't even played it now that it's working.
It's a different era/mindset.
