imagine you're 9 again, sitting with your dumbass snotty neighbour who smells weird and lets you watch but not play his games. except you're not 9, you're paul eres. you have an intractible cold due to the damp in your condemned new jersey frankenstein lab and your neighbour is a middle aged salaryman on youtube but now he's really bad at the games. this is what passes for entertainment for some reason.

That's... hilarious

What's not hilarious is that you've gone over to visit, and they tell you that their big brother has a new game for the SNES, and it's called Populous but because your childlike brain is only used to simple modes of interaction with a gameworld, you can't even start to comprehend the methods by which the big brother is shaping the playfield. It's not that you don't want to try and harness that power, it's that you feel that, when given your turn (as is fair), you'll reveal yourself as unworthy and incompetent. You say to them "this looks cool, this is fun", but you really just want to play Mario Kart even though you consistently come in last place, even in the battle mode. With Mario Kart your failure is a known quantity.
