We have this cool thing in English called words. Instead of wanting to say things, they could have literally expressed those ideas using words and removed all ambiguity.
And sure, I also lied about that, because that makes sense. It’s a thing I just had to lie about.
Can you explain what takes so long then when setting up your devices, because I really don’t get it.
Playstation 5 setup should be a single login, then download and install firmware updates and before playing a game install another update. Everything else should be optional.
And two days to set up a router is not normal and something only very few people would have to deal with. For the most part it should either be connecting the router and it setting up automatically or connecting it and putting in your login data.
In general I would argue that it has become a whole lot easier to set up tech nowadays. The only thing that is more annoying today than in the past are mandatory accounts for tech that doesn’t need them so they can gather/steal your data. That shit sucks.

These are the extra steps, and depending on the size of the updates, internet speed, and server (over)load they can take a very long time. PS2 was as simple as put disk in machine and play game, no updates required or even possible.
This of course meant that some times games shipped with show stopper bugs that got missed or ignored with no way to fix it. This was also abused, shipping with known issues so they could be on shelves for Xmas with the assumption that they would be fixed before the game was in the hands of customers.
Not everybody has good internet. I’m done explaining this. I’ve explained it in multiple comments now so if you don’t get it then that’s a you problem.

From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it’s gaming you can probably discuss it here!

Yeah I really lied about how I had to plug in 4 things and buy a memory card to be able to play my PS2.
They probably wanted to say that it shouldn’t take an entire day to set up a new console today, unless your internet is extremely slow.

This would be the strangest thing to lie about of all things. I dunno what clout is gained by saying it took 2 days to set up a router lol
