The only games I tend to play these days are the ones that I don't have to update before playing. Such a nuisance to be always online.

Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

I remember when games didn't need updates, they just worked, or the bugs they had were cool (or annoying and required workarounds). Though I guess it makes sense that since games are more complex and larger now, they end up having more bugs and need more updates these days.
I was pissed off when HL2 required installing Steam.
I didn't know that was the least awful variant of this particular affront.
Don't tell me 'but now there's bugfixes!' like I never updated HL1 with bare executables. Fuckin' Doom had multiple relevant versions. They thought 1.666 would nail it down... and then grudgingly released 1.7 a month later.
I'm glad others have pointed out this is pretty bullshit. If it's a great game then it's good. If the game was buggy you're shit out of luck, stuck with a broken mess with no hope of it being fixed.
Yes I loved not being able to save my progress
That depended entirely on the game. Most RPGs had some sort of save feature, even the old Final Fantasy on the NES. On the SNES, Super Mario World, the 3 Donkey Kong and Super Metroid all saved your game, instead of relying on passwords.
Yes there were games that could save, but also a lot that could not and I disliked that.

What cartridge came Zork on again?

I'm the autist but you single out games to make my statement invalid? Like it wasn't a thing back then that games didn't have a proper save feature haha
You still had to install the game with a disc most times.
Edit: I never owned a console other than the N64. Just pc.
