It will be weird in 20 odd years. “Dad has given me his old PS6, it’s a great bookend/paperweight”

It's too bad Sony revoked everyone's game licenses in 2030

In 2030 we game through a gamespeaker, that's a person who learned the layout of game maps and attack patterns of monsters in the before time. You game by asking them questions and describing your actions.

I think a paperweight is an old term for a heavy thing. Like it has the weight of a pape. Pape is probably one of those left over partial words like “shevled” and “hap” not existing without “dis” and “less”.
