    Fight with everything you got because in a few short years, sometimes months, even days or hours … those younger than you with better reflexes and a willingness to learn new things, methods and ideas will quickly become better, faster and stronger than you, you poor old ancient bastard.

    Oh this takes me back. Early 2000s, a pre-holiday release of one of the Gears of War - I forget which, and then: Christmas Morning.

    Thousands of people having just opened the game immediately jumping into multiplayer and getting absolutely massacred. What an amazing Christmas present.

    Now I’m the fodder, on a good day.

    Or, you know, don’t do that. Find those children in their starting zones and give them in game currency and equipment. Help them get stronger. Stand under them and prop them up. Teach them how to play and defend them from the teabaggers of the world. Show them a better way.

    Build a legacy instead of a throne.

    It’s for their own good, it’s preparation of what’s to come. They should say thank you before they rage quit.

    Oh, I know this guy. He used to be a presenter on that science channel on YouTube like 10 years ago. Forgot the name of the channel, but the other hosts were Laci Green and Trace Dominguez.

    Edit: The channel was called DNews, now renamed to Seeker.
