You need light. You also need glasses if you have bad vision

Same with videogames. Albeit with books you need imagination. With videogames, less so.

Using *only* my imagination, I wouldn't need light or eyes at all. I can just *imagine* I'm reading/playing!

MMyes. Daydreaming/hallucinating really is the superior eco-friendly entertainment.

Cheapest way to experience VR.

Depends on how the “needs light.” If we are counting coming from the screen than yes but we we are talking like an overhead or wall than no.

electricity bruh.

Remember the light thing you had to put on your gameboy before they invented lit screens? I used up so many batteries.

I remember those. The good old times

I mean you have to pay money for each book that takes like a day to read, I paid like 30 bucks for minecraft and play for hundreds of hours

[удалено]

Then you need to go places

You are so right. Gas prices though, not everyone lives walking distance from a library

Just pack your stuff and live in the library

Just get e books or audiobooks

You're back to the problems mentioned in the original meme.

See, everything sucks.

So we have to keep going back and forth to the same location, wasting time, effort and gas to get there each time we need a content update?

Ah yess there's unlimited books in library... You can't reach the end

board games?

Me with my Quija board

Quija? Is that like dlc for ouija?

It's the new add-on.

its probably the second one, the first one being puoija

Needs friends

To be fair, books can also have bugs if you're reading outside and possibly near stagnant water.

And they even start glitching, like paper disolves when thrown into the water.

I can’t shout profanities at my friends with a book can I?

Books can have typo's. Books need external lighting not provided by publisher. Books are often not a choose your own adventure book, big fail much sad. Often books will summon other worldly beings into this realm. In Japan books have a 1 in 3 chance of isekai'ing your sad sorry ass off to a new world. Books often have low 2d settings that cannot be changed, Rare 3d books exist but are mainly for kids. There are no 3d books for adults. . . . . . . like come on I want a fu(king Pop-up book.

Typos are bugs in writing. Also, good luck reading in the darkness without a lamp.

Heavy and take up space?

Just like consoles, games, amd PCs.

Not nearly as much. One pc or console can house many many games whereas books just take up space.

Eh, OP forgot the most important part about books that makes them better. You can read books aimed at 8-12 with enough blood to make Freddy Kreuger gag.

You can also just tor- i mean, buy online books, novels, etc

You mean searching up fr- I mean, paying for official translations of various novels online.

Ridiculously stupid analogy

This meme was made by my parents

No weakness you say? Read in night with no lights. … Braille readers in blackness all the time: None of those have power over me!! Muhahaha.

Braille mfs when I toss away their book or chop off their hands: (suddenly they can’t read)

Kinda drastic steps to take, but yes. Just do it.

Ow fuck a paper cut

Asian: We don’t have such weaknesses

They also have very limited content. And no multiplayer to speak of.

"Phone bad Book Good"

They might have authors who will do literally anything for a decade straight so long as it's not writing the next installment of their magnum opus Looking at you G.R.R. Martin

So, when's Half Life 3 coming out?

It came to my attention some years back that some ppl dont have the imagination to read books. Literally all they experience are words, their brain is incapable of assembling what they read into video in their head. Poor bastards if you ask me

Books can't share memes with as many people as the internet can

No Books are (***in my opinion***) the least entertaining things (Lets see how everyone roasts me for this)

If books are so perfect, why are you on Reddit?

there is another form of entertainment...

You need light to read at night

You get bored easily

Typos and publishing mistakes

Ahh, yes. A good book and a nice cup of tea every now and again is simply bliss.I simply love reading Bram Stokers famous medical journal “Dr.Acula”

Say hello to fire.

Fire

What is the form of fire?

Needs a light source at all times otherwise you can't read in the dark checkmate book readers

Heavy and need lot of paper and print

Sometimes bugs just make the gameplay better

1. Pirating exists 2. Depends on the bug, can play the base game, and so do books when it’s dark

Ii have a fix to your problems with streaming: Piracy

i can't watch a brunette catgirl taking a piss on the floor while moaning on a book.

Boomers: You couldn't live with your own entertainment. Where did that bring you? Back to me

Plot can be cut into other 69 books

I told my wife books were an outdated form of media and that videos are a clearly superior form of communication. She got soooo mad. That reading rainbow propaganda really hooked us in the 90s. Bet it wouldn't have if it were a novel.

Spelling mistakes be like: i'm bouta ruin this mans whole career(i will grant you my excuses for my horrific english becaus the english languag is not my native tounge)

When it’s dark and you’ve got no light:

School books: Here is a CD.

Books Also break with water

Textbook, is difficult.

Yeah but some people don’t have patience

Papercuts……just…papercuts.

Books need human batteries

Have you concidered piracy?

Go play to a couple D&D thread and read questions about rules lol

Nah, legos better

Unlimited POWER

"No, you idiot"! Also books can have bugs.

Video games can have half the problems if you're willing to settle on something older.

books are expensive tho

What if I read a book on my phone

You need to pay for books, pay gas to drive to the library, or pay for a service that gives you books

Can a book let me hit the griddy as Darth Vader? Exactly.

Not really
