There is no princess

I grown up playing 8-bit video games. In a world where social media wasn't a thing yet, saving the princesses and destroying the islands were the cheap dopamine, the bliss of achievement.

Now I think those games should be explicit for adults only, because a child should not be poisoned with such cheap dopamine, especially naive child like me, just to realize in most of the achievement in real life, it never involves saving a princess.

Now before I'm frowned upon by a lot of people, I admit games like that can leave children with impressively beautiful childhood, and people should learn to grow up, i.e, strong enough to realize the distinction between reality and fantasy.

But I guess it's difficult for dreamy people like me.
