You are not joking.

I often drive through the American suburbs, with their neatly groomed
streets and houses, and I will ask myself: "Where do these kids play?"

I grew up in a working class area next to an industrial zone and the
railroad yards.  There were many empty fields and in the late afternoon,
after closing time, a kid could go wild with play opportunity.

And we did.

At one point we even attempted to dig a tunnel under the train
tracks but our adventure was discovered by the railroad employees
and we had to abandon it.

We had so much much wild play it would take years to even describe
it all.

But that's all in the past.  Now I am an adult and a scientist/
engineer.  I don't need stupid games nor fiction because I've done
it all already.

I pity the readers of fiction.

I pity the players of games.

They are just frustrated children.
