My issue isn't with the low-tech the MC uses. I've collected antiques for my entire life (and I mean that literally. Even when I was little, I bugged my parents to go to any antique store we passed), and nearly a quarter of my wardrobe is older than I am.
My daily-drive watch is an early digital model made during the LED watch boom of the 70's.
I unironically use vintage calculators for number crunching, including important shit that affects my life.
And don't even get me started on my collection of vintage and antique figures, or vast amounts of other old tech I've owned over the years.
Oh, and computers and a few typewriters, some of which I've used to write stories that I posted here.
I
get the aesthetic. I have no problems with it, and use it myself.
My issue is with his insufferably holier-than-thou personality. I was not exaggerating in the least when I said that he shit-talks other people, just as often as not to their faces. He's an extremely hateful person.
To give you an idea, he shit-talks other people
just for using electronic clocks and watches, and jerks himself off for using a mechanical pocket watch (that he probably has to set to a digital clock every morning).
Not just once, either. It's brought up multiple times, because the only thing he enjoys more than his old tech is hating other people for not using it.
It got to the point where I actually forgot why he picked up the gynoid
while I was playing the game, because he did nothing but shit-talk her every single second she was in-frame, and many long minutes when she was out-of-frame.
I apologize for the confusion.
