The Inevitable Descent into Absurdity: Grandma and Fighting Games
So, a 92-year-old woman won a Tekken tournament in Japan? Fantastic. Just perfect. Because apparently, celebrating decades of experience and wisdom now involves dominating adolescent gamers with button mashing. Really? Is this what weve come to? We’re supposed to be impressed? I bet she uses a custom controller designed for arthritic hands and relies on a team of analysts feeding her strategies during breaks.
Dont get me wrong, its adorable. Sweet little Grandma beating the pants off young whippersnappers. Its the heartwarming story we all need to feel… inferior. Because let’s be honest, how many of us are actively improving our skills at anything these days? We’re too busy scrolling through endless feeds of people achieving improbable feats, making us question every life choice we’ve ever made.
This isnt about celebrating longevity or dedication; its a manufactured narrative designed to generate clicks and perpetuate the illusion that anyone can achieve anything they set their mind to, regardless of skill level or years of training. It completely diminishes the hard work of those who actually dedicate themselves to competitive gaming.
And I’m sure the sponsors are just thrilled. We proudly support Grandmas victory! Buy our energy drinks and orthopedic shoes! Seriously, where does it end? Will we soon see a centenarian dominating professional chess? Please, someone stop this madness before I start knitting myself a fighting game controller.
