It was certainly jarring reading that immediately after accusing someone else of having never played the games.

(Who is clearly playfully poking fun at something he enjoyed playing but can recognize as being constrained by computers of the era and no longer a common format of games thanks to 3D rendering).

I don't think 3D rendering replaces text adventures any more than movies replace books.

I mean, for some people they do, but those people never liked books to begin with; they just didn't have an alternative.

You can read that as "for the games I've played". I have played zork and the common interface works as expected. "look" "examine" "n""s""e""w" etc.
