Gen Alpha Discord User Fears WinRAR Because Of Sonic.exe, Millennials And Gen Z Twitter Users Feel Closer To Death

an irrational fear, to say the least.

but on a side tangent, a bunch of Sonic.exe fangames have started including 4th-wall breaking elements such as distorting the windows, adding text files with different lines, and creating fake error messages. while on it's merits, sounds neat. there's been an increase concern in which the EXE games could reach Mugen's Cheapies levels of external intrusions. especially when there are a few fangames that just shuts down your computer.

while I don't think this person should worry about Winrar of all things. I do be worry if those fangames just ended up being malware powercreep in the unforeseen future.

I mean I haven't used WinRAR in ages, but I get it.

Now, its good that they didnt wanted to download a file off discord of all things (honestly they shouldnt have even downloaded the first one), that being said their ACTUAL reason for not downloading is astronimically dumb and it makes me question how old this kiddo even is BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY THIS KID IS OVER 13, I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THIS IS A TEEN, Like, there is no way they dont know what an executable is there is no way they installed discord and then proceeded not to fucking notice their program was an executable, ldk what EA game they wanted to crack, but I assure you they should've ATLEAST looked at the programs if they wanted to do that…

also IK its popular thanks to FNF but do kids still consume sonic.exe stories ? hasnt it been like… 11 years since the first iteration came out ? IK there is a couple new creative ones out there like "no more innocence", "Non-existent" and whatever "lord_X" is … but do kiddos still consume the original story ? wanst like the OP of that story a creep or something ?

If you find sonic.exe scary you should lose your right to speak

This has to be a very specific window of time. A handful of users can't use plain old Windows to unzip 7z files, and the youths don't remember what WinRAR is. A strange end to an era I never thought would be described as such.

Still, I'll admit a certain degree of schadenfreude knowing that the Zoomers are feeling the march of time now.

I always forget that windows by default disabled most file extensions from view (since it's generally the first thing I enable on a fresh install)

So most computer users would never ever even SEE a .exe ending unless it's a file hiding as one (i.e Shockfilm.exe.mp4)
