When did it happen to you Yea Forums?

Minecraft after creative update.

MOBAs for me

SNEEED

I forget when but it was some years ago when I was playing some CoD game with my friends and thinking the whole time that it was boring and something like an updated perfect dark would be way more fun

Zoomer faggot

When DLC, season passes and unlock treadmills became expected, and games became work rather than fun.

Not being with it is better though, because I'm having lots of fun with the other losers off in the corner with my weirdo racing sims and indie games.

Stay mad.

This.
I can pinpoint it for me, it's when things went to the loadout shooter.
The free-range shooters, where you have to find shit in the level to use, I was on-board with. The more Counter-Strike like games where you had to buy your weapons, I was on-board with. Loadout shooters just killed me for some reason.

Sometime in the 7th gen, hard to pinpoint the exact moment. Probably 2008-09 if I had to hazard a guess.

Just recently is when I really felt it hit me. All the games I'm excited for are games no one else wants. I think the most "it" thing I've even been interested in lately is probably Spellbreak. Which just seems kind of cool even if it is BR trash

No joke, I cannot get into CSGO, Siege, Dota, LoL, or Fortnite. The lack of dedicated servers and the obsession with rankings completely confounds a boomer like me. Games used to be about community and just messing around, not performing for some kind of audience or trying to make a career out of playing. Granted, e-sports has been a thing for decades but now everyone in their teens and 20s seems to seriously believe that they'll be the next star.

I have never followed trends so I don't give a shit. No I'm not a hipster either, I just do what I want. Suck it oldies.

I'm not mad at you.
I just pity you.

Never, I was always out in my little world. I think for about 1 month I was not only in sync with other people my age, but was popular. Even got to hang out with the most popular girl in school (she was supposed to be hot but always thought her face looked like hardened clay). Then had surgery and I was out of the loop again.

The battle royale genre. I loved pretty much every fad until this

>being with the in crowd
>ever
Its all the same shit, you just grew up. I never understood the appeal of the sims in the 90s, I never understood the appeal of minecraft in the 00s, I never understoof the appeal of OW and fortnite in the 10's. Like what you like you dumb faggot, not everything has to cater to you. If you feel like everything is diminishing, its more than likely that youve just been over exposed and burned out from constantly doing your hobby for literal decade. Pick up another hobby and let some games build up for you. I alone have like 20+ games I need to get around to just because I'm busy doing other shit, and because of this I never feel this effects of this doom and gloom bullshit you fags keep complaining about.

Battle Royale. I'm genuinely out of the loop of why people liked this boring ass genre. At least I can enjoy Apex Legends since it's a watered down Titanfall.

Same. I've tried but I just can't seem to have fun with them.

I still don't know what the fuck yeet means after having it described to me on many occasions over a very long time now.

When it became clear that Esports competition and shitty Microtransactions were more important to developers than making a fun game.

realizing that the children who grew up with PewDiePie are old enough to post on this site.

I'm honestly surprised how quickly I fell out of popular culture. Figured I'd at least get three, four decades in the know. Maybe it's just the internet, but I'm already out of college and seem to be constantly behind.

7th gen.

I don't believe there are any in Siege and that's largely what killed it for me. Players take the game way too seriously even when it's not a ranked match. Nothing worse than a tryhard who seems to get angry that they're not going to reach plat. You're not special when thousands of other players are there as well.

For the games that do have dedicated servers, the vast majority of the community seems to lean hard towards either matchmaking or ranked play. People getting furious over ladder seasons is nothing new, but I'm honestly embarrassed for anyone who gets genuinely upset over their rank slipping in games like Overwatch or the ones I mentioned earlier.

I think it may be because of this:
>Free-range (arena) shooter
>Know what weapons you want
>Try to get those weapons
>Gameplay happens around trying to get best weapons and control map
>Emergent moments when you get that rail gun and 360 noscope some kid with it
>Every game, while following a general strategy and flow, feels different since you have to obtain your weapons while everyone else is trying to do the same

>round based buy shooters
>can't just start with that you want
>have to plan your loadouts
>meta game around optimal buy/save rounds
>meta game around optimal buys depending on round
>risk/reward gameplay based on what you buy

Loadout shooters don't feel good because every game starts out the same. Yes, it's more "balanced" but it's boring. I think people are starting to get sick of the loadout shooter because it's just so fucking boring to start with everything every match. I think this is why BR has really taken off.

>BR Shooter
>Offers customization in weaponry and/or loadout
>Risk/reward gameplay when deciding where to land and when you should engage later on
>Every game plays out differently due to loot drops, where you and others land, and where the circle goes
>Has cosmetic based progression systems

I think those reasons are why BR has become so popular lately. Shooters like UT and CS are just too dated for most people now.

I'm kinda nostalgic for these things and I was born in 93. I think it's because after 2012 things went to shit even my friends say the world ended in 2012.

see I didn't like apex legends because it wasn't boring enough.

Pubg was fun despite on a technical level being shockingly executed because of the pacing, you start off very relaxed, it's a good time with your friends selecting a place and landing, finding stuff, then the intensity gradually ramps up and ramps up until you hit the fever pitch of the final circle where literally nowhere is safe to be.

something I don't think that is talked about enough with BR games is the skinners box effect of the randomness of loot and landing your luck, whenever you have a bad game, a bad spawn, bad luck, for whatever reason your reaction is often "well the next one will be better" rather than "fuck this."

Because games that go super well in BR are very rare they're all the more coveted.

A generational disconnect isn't exclusive to being middle-aged or elderly. Nothing about that post was curmudgeonly. It's not a stretch to say that fads seem to come and go much more forcefully than they used to because of the Internet.

It's the internet. Information is shared too quickly now and it especially hits Yea Forums fags because we used to be the weird fags that lurked the internet when 90% of normalfags just used it for email and other dumb shit. We used to be on the cutting edge of memery and in depth game discussion because all the weird yet interesting fucks used to lurk here. They still do, but its spread out now. Normalfags caught up with memeing and grew desensitized to the rude and crude behavior that once safeguarded this place, so now we're left with a weird cesspoll of normalfaggots trying to pretend they are something they arent. We dont have interesting topics any more because most of the userbase now consists of boring normal faggots rehashing the same boring shit because they are creative or weird enough to come up with anything else. And the ones that are like that feel isolated and disheartened because all OC is met with "cringe" shit.

I just wish social media never took off. Or at least waited a few more years. I'm so tired of this 11 layers of irony shit you see everywhere. I want to talk about vidya without sifting through fucking wojacks and pepes, not because I'm offended or any other dumb shit, but because its fucking boring and canned.

I still enjoy lots of games and try out new stuff all the time, but you can still feel disconnected from what seems to be popular these days.

You never saw something like Hamilton or Westworld or Black Panther and thought "what's all the fuss about?" You can still enjoy something and still feel like you're lost since everyone else seems to be hyping it up so much more.

MOBAs and I guess battle royale games now. I don't keep up with new releases the way I used to, I mostly just play old games on emulators and Street Fighter now. I've been playing maybe three new releases a year at most.

Yea, this. It isnt anger or resentment or anything like that that kills me. It's the apathy.

Around the time Social Justice and bans for being "disrespectful" became popular.
I don't understand it.
Do people think that staying wrong forever is preferable to being told that problems exist?

I was also never into Pogs or Minecraft or iCarly or any of that stuff in my first 20 years of my life, but everyone reaches a point where so much of it piles up that you feel like you can't keep up rather than making a conscious decision to ignore things that you're not interested in.

Are you enjoying Hollow Knight?

at this rate I feel like it's hard to not "be with it" anymore. zoomer culture is centered on the internet, which is just a melting pot of like 10 websites at this point all reposting the same shit. people are so uninvested in anything in general, it's more about doing the same thing as everybody else. I know a lot of people who talk about apex all the time and how it's their favorite game but they act amazed whenever I party up with them and get more than 4 kills a round or something. I secretly hope there are some other sites like Yea Forums was 10-15 years ago where the stuff you'd see on here was niche shit several years ahead of the mainstream.
posted while I was writing pretty much sums up how I feel perfectly. isn't even necessarily like the stuff the ai in mgs2 talks about although that is another valid avenue of complaint, but the internet might as well not even be divided into different websites these days.

Formerly it.

I was never with it in the first place.

There was a brief month when I saw a Homie in a coin machine and made it my personal mission to collect every single one that was ever made. I wasn't old enough to understand that there are literally hundreds of those things.

Funny enough, I got frustrated so quickly as a kid that it turned me off the idea of "collections" to this day. Still respect other people who do it with toys or trading cards or whatever they're into, but I definitely don't have the patience for that.

I don't know what your endgame is, but keep posting

I went into a Discord the other day for the first time. The more I observed the more it seemed to me at first glance the 'people' in there were 4channers but it started to eventually unravel and it began to feel like these were merely imitators, disingenuous pretenders or full-blown pod-people like facsimiles meant to blend in with the real thing, that these were in fact the same kind of scum who never understood what the site was about, had no taste or principle in anything beyond what was trendy, could only express themselves through smugness and irony. It was then that it occurred to me fully that the Yea Forums that acted as a haven to me for the past 15 years against all the cancerous seepage from places like Gamefags, Deviantart, etc had finally been breached; not yet defeated but now infiltrated by the enemy, and what was once a strong fortress was now contested and being fought over between the old guard and the new invaders.

>I'm so tired of this 11 layers of irony shit you see everywhere.
This so fucking much. You cant even fucking genuinely like anything any more without being met with a wave of fags trying to start some fanbase war or looking for the new TORtanic, trying to seperate everything into "chads" or what the fuck ever. I'm not a paranoid fuck, but sometimes it seriously feels like there is force trying to actively kill off individuality on here. Which is weird since we're user, but I cant shake it. Maybe it's just zoomers parroting normalfag culture which is destroying individuality in general as well. Fuck man, I dont even know what humanity is going to look like a few decades from now at this rate. I guess I'm getting old since I'm starting to get worried for other generations.

it was the fucking worst and many first generation Yea Forums users were direct migrants trying to get away

This was the most surprising thing to me about social media. People still act like dicks and say fucked up shit using their real names.

to be honest I can't even act retarded on purpose on Yea Forums because I feel like despite it being anonymous, that's still my post and by extension a representation of me to other people

What happened was the internet being more accessible more than ever, your just being exposed to more different tastes than you were used to.

Until 2016, there was a part of me that still clung to the idea that Yea Forums is just filled with a special type of people and surely that kind of angry and intense behavior would never be normalized across the entire Internet.

Individuality is tied directly to eccentricity. Large collectives are naturally suspicious of eccentric behavior because they're always a sign that common norms are going to be violated. I thought that the Internet would make people naturally more empathetic to people with differing belief systems and social environments, but we just have large homogenous globs flinging shit at other homogenous globs.

The core of why BR games is successful is how random they are and how luck can factor in to it. There are lots of unfair fights. So if you drop near a really good player, you get a gun and he gets nothing, you can kill him. On the flip side, if you die you can blame it on getting bad drops or bad teammates, you never have to blame yourself.

There is a lot of research on how noobs like randomness and being able to blame other things. Plus they love getting cheap kills. If they kill someone with a crit in TF2 it was pure skill and when someone killed them it was a lucky noob who got a lucky crit. It lets them pretend they are the best.

Then factor in that the gaming industry was pushing towards eSports and competitive play. Shooters that are always 5v5 or 6v6. Shooters where you have to coordinate with your team. Shooters that shy away from randomness and try to push towards skill. They pushed too far and didn't leave much of a market for the noobs.

Then Battle Royale comes around, it is random as fuck. Good players can tilt the odds, but a noob is going to get lucky and get some kills. All those homeless CoD kiddies found a new home.

Same to an extent. I'll post stupid stuff sometimes when I'm bored, but there's a point where I feel guilty for posting something too stupid.

Dragon Age 2
Final Fantasy 13
Monster Hunter World almost got to the point where I don't recognize it as the MH I love anymore.

or maybe kids grew up

what I liked was always weird and scary anyway

Lootshooters are shit, but I still like modern games.

t. 30 year old boomer

Well theres always people of the older generation partaking in the newest fad so I dont really believe that.

Whenever the minecraft alpha/beta came out, and I decided I didn't get it.

those are always outlier, desperately clinging on to the notion that they are still "hip" and "with it" they'll literally try anything, even tattoo a dick onto their eyeball if kids deemed it "cool"

That sense of shame is simple human dignity. When people rely too heavily on large social groups for approval, they start to believe that they can say or do anything they want so long as enough people are there to say it's okay.

That's far, far worse than the kind of behavior you see with anonymity. Contrary to popular belief, the value placed on anonymity is much more effective at deterring horrendous behavior than a large angry mob wearing their own faces in public.

Same here. Unfortunately this also extends to responding to meaningless provocations. I should really learn to stop that.

When leveling systems became common after CoD:MW. Suddenly the game itself was not fun enough for people, everyone needed to show off how high of a level they were, the attachements they had that some low level players did not, and the skins they unlocked through boring, uninspired achievements.

You used to have to be good at a game to impress everyone. Now you just run around with ugly cosmetics and a meaningless number next to your name.

The idea of living long enough to see another world war or a global catastrophe is far more disturbing to me than death. I'd rather leave when my time is up, no more and no less.

Truth. I spent a lot of time there before hearing about this weird Yea Forums thing.
I still have the LL bookmark in my topbar even though the site is nothing but a withered husk.

Just put it out of your mind user. You won't be able to tell how horrible death is when you're dead anyway.

when instagram started

but we can go back even further and to a lesser extent it was when the ipod first came out, and the first time I saw it I actually said out loud "it will never catch on"

Maybe I'm just getting old and out-of-touch, but I get a sense of dread about the world nowadays. Like it's all going to collapse into something horrible sometime soon.

As much as I despise zoomer culture, it really is our faults for not sharing our superior boomer culture with them and at least creating some sort of familiar synthesis between our tastes and their tastes.

But no, bitter faggots had to hunker down into the "muh no spoonfeeding" bullshit.

A treasure worth having is a treasure worth sharing and we didn't share our treasures, now the world is fucking shit because of it.

That's why I don't shy away from sharing old shit on here, because I want them to see that a better world DID EXIST and that they don't have to settle for the shit being fed to them now.

I wonder how much the change in board culture and forums in general has to do with the wider age ranges posting on them. There were always some older people posting, but it seemed like it was mostly people who were teens around 2003. Now you still have teens posting here along with the older people (some new, some from the original group that never left).

I'm guessing it's too much data, the internet overloads them with options. So there's less incentive to go back and experience older stuff. Not true for all of them of course, I've seen some zoomers that play old games on emulators and enjoy them. But compared to my childhood where there was a more limited selection of games, then you go back and play older ones you missed. Seemed like there was a more unified culture of which games got played too. Now everybody has a backlog of hundreds of games.

mortality is good, though

Its the mentality you just posted. "I only watch/play shit that other people are watching/playing". It's like when an old person is proud that they cant operate a cellphone or a computer or whatever, but in reverse. They wear their ignorance like a badge of honor rather then one of shame, and its fucking infuriating no matter the age.

Not, by not hating on everything new that comes out.

So you wouldn't want your children to live forever because you died? You'd want them to wither because you had to?

I'm 30 and still enjoy new stuff. It's just harder to keep up with.

I'd say I'm mostly still with it, don't like BRs or MOBAs but I can see why people enjoy it.

Their choice wouldn't be mine to make. I have no right to impose that kind of choice upon other people. What matters is that they either appreciate the choice (if it ever exists) or to see that there is nothing to fear about something that happens to everyone that we know.

How we choose to see the world now, with its flaws and limitations, is more important to me. It keeps me from being disappointed.

I think I just didn't want to see it and needed it spelled out to me to accept it.

Like, I get that I'm oldballs now, and I'm willing to accept the possibility that maybe that's the only reason I can't wrap my head around things like BR and ASSFAGGOTS games. But on the other hand, I absolutely refuse to believe that other forms of media aren't objectively shittier than they've ever been. Movies and especially music ARE worse than they were in decades past.

even if the technology was here next week, you won't be getting on that train, that's for multi-millionaires and beyond

then what am I supposed to call kids younger than zoomers

Millennials are so fucked. Gen-Z and Gen Alpha are probably hyper fucked too if we don't got the kikes and colonize space right fucking now.

Humanity will rot and die due to dysgenics if we let people like Ocasio-Cortez waste our resources on trying to make an infinite, growing population "equal"

fuckable

Welp. To my credit, it's late as fuck for me. But yea, you got me.

Maybe some things are worse, but we can only change what it's in our power to. Just do the best you personally can to make the world a bit better.
Lamenting about what we cannot change doesn't help anyone.

We need technological solutions, stuff that can't be censored or controlled. The problem I see though is that people are comfortable sticking to major sites and services. The loss of freedom is unlikely to affect them, so there's not enough incentive to leave. So you'd have to make a better service that's easier to use, while also being free.

But western society will 100% collapse or balkanize by then. The latter being the preferable option.

>Movies and especially music ARE worse than they were in decades past.
Both industries are actually better nowadays as a whole, its just that the stuff that gets mainstream attention is usually shit. Its much easier to look beneath the surface level stuff to find the things you really like compared to past decades.

I was never really with "it" man, I was just a fucking loser and still am.

You don't like todays music? how unique and special you are

Could work. Dunno if it'll take off though.

I miss small sites with unique looks. The internet feels too consolidated nowadays. It was like an adventure exploring things back in the day.

When casual games started being a thing instead of devs just making games that happen to be fun and simple/easy/relaxing. It roughly correspond with the rise of smartphones. Fuck smartphones desu, they fucked up everything they touched.

I didn't care about trends one way or the other until they started dominating the entirety of the market and slowly killed off all the niche genres that I once enjoyed.

Early to mid 20s.

It's almost much tamer, much more corporatized. I remember how fun shit like Habbo Hotel and Second Life were back in the day. I saw VRchat and thought it might be a window back into that lost past. I thought we'd get to see stuff like Fort Longcat again. Instead all we get are memes beaten to death like ugandan knuckles and #wholesome vids about some kid with a kermit avatar talking about being homeschooled.

I fought a very severe case of this for about 3-4 months and I really understand, it just truly sucks. I dropped 2 classes and had to be a part time student because I just couldn’t deal with it. I would wake up and within a couple seconds the realization of death would hit me and my body would just implode. All I wanted to do was cry and lay around. Eventually I just realized that I had to get over it, and I just brute forced it by accepting the idea of faith. It was either that or drop out of college. I still feel it some days, but it’ll get better. If you’re a NEET, don’t just sit around, you need to do something during the day.

pbr is worse than piss, I have no idea how hipsters chug that shit

I agree. I also believe that people should be willing to accept loss, when it happens. There can be both.

Remember all those smug half-smiling internet intellectuals who always used to say shit like 'kids are smarter executives give them credit for'?
Gen Z sure proved those fuckers wrong ten times over. The absolute dumbest and most morally bankrupt generation in American history.

I could see this happening but I don't think everyone will have access to it. China will probably become transracial and go 100% blonde aryan but they'll still be speaking chinese.

The good news is that if they actually are superior they'll probably help out the non-augmented humans a bit out of pity. They'll go on to create Gundams and colonize space and maybe bring some natural humans along in the same way people create wildlife preserves.

I felt the same seeing VRchat. Never got around to trying it and it looks like I missed its peak. By the time I get a headset I'm sure it'll be mostly dead.

>always buy a console several years into its life for cheap games

>it has less games than ps3 somehow and they're all shit

Might as well buy a dreamcast at this point.

I think it has something to do with the fact that they are growing up in an ultra sanitized (kid friendly) version of what we grew up in.

Somehow puritans figured out how to neuter the absurdist,insane,vulgar humor we grew up with, market that shit and sell it as "normal". Every time I see people go D: at something like gutter oil in twitch chat I feel like calling them weak faggots.

I dunno, something about seeing people with such a low "offence threshold" gets my nuts in a twist.

At this point I don't want to kill myself, but I have accepted death as a viable alternative to living.

>The problem I see though is that people are comfortable sticking to major sites and services. The loss of freedom is unlikely to affect them, so there's not enough incentive to leave.

It's even worse than that. You try to explain freedom of speech, the value of privacy, the need for decentralisation, etc to these people and they don't even grap the base concept, let alone understand the issues or have an informed opinion. They just completely shut down for a few seconds then change the subject to some celeb, sport or anything that doesn't require higher thoughs.

Who's worse: Millennials or Zoomers?

As soon as the Rock Band and Guitar Hero phase left, I became a relic.

Popular culture is now something GLOBALLY defined. That means that pop culture has to be watered down even further to appeal to an even larger audience. It naturally makes it much more bland.

The trade-off is that a globally connected world creates a greater potential for niche communities to form of all kinds. Potential means nothing if we're not willing to create or preserve them.

I think it's a mix of both. They are more intelligent, but also more morally/socially inept due to lax (or Non-existent) parenting and growing up in the FaceBook generation

So mid-late zoomers?

To be fair they're going to die too, it's just that their deaths won't be the wasting sickness or the decay of age, but more the knife in the back, the faulty equipment failure leading to an explosion, or just lady luck giving them the finger. You can push the Reaper back, but that fucker has your number and he's getting his due someday.

Zoomers.
Millennials try, then give up when it gets hard.
Zoomers just don't try.

Yeah. Feels like a lot of stuff is now more polished in terms of production, but made to be bland and inoffensive.

well since we stopped naming the generations, the "zoomer demographic" is only going to get worse as time goes on because it's all encompassing

Yeah that or the heat death, still we've been dabbing on that nigger since we started treating wounds and cooking food. We just need to collectively learn that he is not our friend.

Late Millennials and Early Zoomers are practically the same thing.

I tasted a tidepod and I didn't die. It was gross though.

Also the future isn't "brown" there's just no future for leftist whites as only "racist" whites seem interested in working and starting families.

You articulate pretty well what I've been feeling for years. It feels like everyone's lives are running along the exact same grooves dug by social media and streaming entertainment. It's like simulacra social experience as surrogate for a real individual life. People will proudly recite the same opinions and none of it come from their own life experience. Even Yea Forums now is drained of its past creativity. I'm very greatful for the few real people I still know.

I blame millennial parents. They essentially teach their kids to be cam whores and that the only way to be happy is to be zany and crazy on the internet. Look at how many kids are iPad babies because their parents are too lazy to look over them. The internet fucked me up when I was 12, but I had a sense of reason instilled because my parents where the good boomers. Millennials don't have a grasp on reality and assume everyone has some innate knowledge to not do dangerous stuff. If a kid sees movies and videos where people light themselves on fire and live, they think they can do the same thing because that's their only frame of reference.

Not sure about that. The cultural gap between a Late Millennial born in 93 and an Early Zoomer born in 98 is quite noticeable.

There's 2 sides in a tide pod. One is essentially scented oil. The other side is detergent. Not all detergent will fuck you up, but the highly concentrated detergent in a tide pod will cause instant cell death. Go ahead user. Give it a try. Come back and tell me how it goes.

I came to Yea Forums in my high school years back in 2005. Needless to say this place shaped my adolescent and early adult years. It definitely shaped me into being an atheist after growing up in a Christian family. But now at 31 I see a world that has home insane and been torn to shreds by people deliberately intent on dismantling western civilization. My juniors are taught to despise it. I have no spiritual guidance, I have nothing greater to believe in, no entity somewhere I can hope will make it all right or whom I can even appeal to for guidance. I go to work, come home, masturbate several times, eat, go to sleep. I remain in a fog. I cannot go back on my beliefs, but at the same time I can understand why religion was the opitate of the masses in the first place. Where is the sense in any of this?

It's worse for me since I hate ALL story based games, and that gets me alot of ire from both western and weeb fans.

>what, you don't like 90 minute cutscenes in metal gear? you must clearly hate fun hurr durr

Give me a break.

The only escape is forced self improvement, and not the faggoty /pol/ kind. You have to create a sense of place for yourself in the world. There are many ways to do it, but it's a personal journey and one you'll have to figure out for yourself. Personally, I bought land in the mountains and have been living innawoods in a camper. It's bliss to me, exactly what I needed to do, just get away from it and live outside of a small town. Just remember, you don't have to do anything, but you can choose to do anything.

So your brother is a zoomer?

I mean seriously, what the fuck is you people's obsession with reality TV shows
it's literally on every channel

I didn't even realize it until very recently, but I'd have to place it at about the time the Dreamcast died. It occurred to me that the system still feels new to me, despite being dead for nearly two decades. I've played plenty of games on newer consoles since then, but they all feel like they exist within a single generation that followed the Dreamcast that just isn't as appealing to me.

What's funny is that irony was the predomient tone of literature after WW1. It's why Tolkien caught shit from his peers for how earnest LOTR was. So Zoomers aren't any different from those evil old white men from a century ago after all.

TTgo is honestly underrated. I liked old TT better, but from watching bits on TV in the morning it seems like an alright show. I can see why kids like it, especially compared to other modern cartoons.

I don't think I'm reasonably old enough yet to feel this way about anything. And neither should anyone else in their 20s.

Hopefully that means we get a new Tolkien out of all this.

2014

After browsing Yea Forums since its inception, Yea Forums and Yea Forums seemed to finally succumb to the inception of /pol/ posters who seem to think that everything in the world resolves around a single political issue of their choice be it SJWs, Feminists, BLM, niggers, jews or whatever.

I found it amusing at first, some comedy hi-jinks at the expense of some idiots on the internet.... but then it never stopped. FeministFrequency which have struggled to maintain a concurrent userbase or subscriber count higher than a 12-year old cod footage uploader circa 2008 were massively outweighed by the sheer size of the youtube septic community eagerly awaiting the next video or dumb statement to be made so they can rant for 15 minutes.

It became a constant ongoing thing. Cringe threads became thinly veiled SJW threads and the narrative that the feminists and SJWs were coming for our games was heavily pushed. We got some good content out of it like Yea Forums the musical, but Yea Forums paid a price for it.

Like some kind of throwback to MGS2's storyline regarding the A.I's controlling human consciousness using memes, Yea Forums succumbed a non-stop flow of rage inducing content, optimised across all social media platforms for maximum bait.

What happened was beautiful in a way; we did it to ourselves, I think, but if such a thing had been orchestrated rather than just assisted by social media optimisation algorithm it would have been a fantastic piece of reading in some kind of sociology study.

Regardless, it became impossible to have any real discussion... the comfy and chill threads dried up, /pol/ users spilled over into any board that would listen to why the jews and niggers are the cause of everything bad in the world and I, for the first time, found myself wanting to actually do something else for once, stopped being a NEET, got a post-graduate degree and now work a job that I enjoy.

Oh, you wanted to talk about games? Yea Forums doesn't talk about video games.

People live vicariously through the lense of more beautiful people who are able to edit their lives into 30 minute long highlight reels. One of the reasons so many relationships fail these days is likely because people compare themselves to reality stars or youtube vloggers who seem to live a life of decadence and charm.

You can fuck off. TTgo is on for like 12 hours a day and I can only jerk off to chibi Raven so much.

>Late 00s-Early 10s stuff was widely considered the downfall into shit era
By the people who were your age back then. This always happened, and will continue to happen. People have nostalgia for their own childhood and look down on things one generation younger because it's different. The late 90s weren't necessarily better.

Agreed, Yea Forums used to be the cutting edge and now anonymity is an excuse for Redditors to vacation here to shitpost. Ironically Reddit discussions are more on-topic but the voting system is pure trash and the population is garbage. You can't escape shitty discussion here but I will say that boards like /vr/ and Yea Forums are generally better if only because they rarely follow trends and modern culture.
Yeah, the point being this place is infested with zoomers. The aughts were trash. And to be fair I was a kid in the 90s and I don't believe in glorifying them either, or any specific era.

The idea that pushing a 3rd worlders to a first world country will somehow make them as smart and developed as 1st worlders is an insane idea.

In the past, the west was scraping off the outliers from 3rd world countries. The most intelligent, the most driven, the most energetic. The cream of the crop.

The populations that stayed behind only got dumber. Now that it's easy and convenient to move to a western country it only proves that these "people" are little more than cattle looking to graze

Even kids hate CalArts man.

Some time after I stopped playing multiplayer games in favor of singleplayer. When I tried to go back I found the landscape had changed dramatically. TF2 somehow became worse than it already was, MOBA shit became a thing and along with sjwism ruined online communities even further than previously imaginable, and BR had just started to become a thing with pubg releasing. These days I play near dead games with autists. They're the last place that hasn't fallen to the zoomer plague.

There are lots of regressive incentives like trying to shore up district populations for legal reasons (even if they're totally fresh immigrants), trying to get policy concessions from the governments of those countries by opening borders (I can almost guarantee that the country those people came from have a direct relationship with your government if you dig deep enough), to cheap labor for nearby cities (common in China and Russia, not so much in the West).

People want a lazy explanation like "Marxist brainwashing" but the reality is just poor leadership and extremely, extremely cynical back-channeling between world governments.

Remember when thicc was phat?

You're right, at least from the top of governments. Sudden population shifts that aren't prompted by a serious crisis are done for cynical political or financial reasons, with the talk about being "saving the unfortunate" or "we're all human" being used as PR speak to sell the general public on it.

around the time when live streaming became big
I understood concept of let's players on YouTube, but never got this

I never fell for the pop culture meme like the majority of brainlets in society so I always felt like everyone was wrong from the get-go.

If this happened to you, you let it happen to yourself.

This is true.

Am I only one who dont give a crap about le "good old days" and just enjoy things for what they are even if they are subjectively worse than before?

ah.. so you're part of *that* meme group

>I've never been to a Scandanavian country but what stops people from moving there and building a life?
a) those countries have far higher immigration standards then the US does
b) those countries are only as nice as they are because of their low populations. There is a correlation between high population and being a shithole.

This. I'm only 25 and the 18-20 year old kids i work with only play cod, ac, fortnite, and rainbow 6 seige. I have nothing to talk to them about.

You're the only one here who thinks that way because only an emotionally well-adjusted person thinks that way. Yea Forums is a home for people with major depression, social anxiety, autism/aspergers and other illnesses.

This.

And none of you have any other interests but video games?

It's the better attitude to have.

I still genuinely miss the variety that old game devs seemed to have before publisher homogenization took hold of the vast majority of the mainstream market, but I don't think that that means that there's nothing worth enjoying anymore.

Not him, but just because you like thing that happens to get famous doesn't mean you "fell" for popculture meme.

Look into 'the culling'. Only battle royale I actually enjoy. You might like it too.

you fell for pop culture memes, you're just coping by telling yourself that whatever you fell for either isn't a popculture meme or you didn't "fall" for it

It wasn't at a time I was interested in it. It's not my fault it blew up.

it blew up because it's pop culture meme, and you're into it

I feel the opposite
I’d rather see a world war or conflict of some kind. I could put my years of /k/ training(LARP’ing) into use and even if I died in the first five minutes, I’m ok with that. Now just living my mundane life for the next few decades and then dying from natural causes or illness. That terrifies me

I think the time to blame publishers for the current state of gaming has passed. The indie gaming market is big and between crowdsourcing and all the freeware game engines, making a game on your own is easier and cheaper them ever so long as your goal is not state of the art graphical fidelity.

It happened in 2010.
Stopped giving a shit since.

There's really nothing wrong with pop culture anyways people just want to be special (which is also ok)

Games with shit gameplay and/or 40 hours of cutscenes.
I've been out of "it" for awhile, luckily there are still a lot of people making video games. I wish Square-Enix would fuck off and keep to themselves, though. I'd see the HQ take a trip down a sinkhole for what they did to Deus Ex.
What's wrong with them, anyway? Are they jelly that Eidos, while by no means perfect, can actually make a fucking video game?
It can't explicitly be greed. They're not so stupid as to not realize that they're inane business strategy is what's losing them money. It has to be unwarranted jealousy, or penis envy.

Didn't the devs shit on it with their updates

Indie devs are great, but they're not the end-all solution to the industry's problems. Steam is a sea of chaff to search through, and I still miss the middle-of-the-road budget games that were allowed to do something bigger but still not so huge that they weren't allowed to experiment and try something new.

The only ones who seem like they're still allowed to do that as of late are Japanese devs.

In a not ironically way:
The Maya end of world was in reality a end of a era
Since 2013 I don't have any good year

Yeah AA is the place where the most interesting things happen. Japan has to do it because their audience is a lot smaller than a Western dev's. It's the reason why I barely play any new Western games anymore. If you look at other industries you can see it too--the lower and higher end budgets increase and the middle shrinks.

ESL retards need to fuck off back to where they came from. You're part of the problem.

I used to never play weeb games because of the stigma attached to them but now I prefer them
They don't aim at realism, their games aren't just a bunch of shit that appeases a vocal minority and they're just fun or at least try to be fun

FPBP

I distinctly recall saying exactly where this trend was going when DayZ got big. Mostly because what made DayZ fun already existed in A2 mods already.

The gradual progression, coupled with PUBG being a standalone hit sealed the deal.

No recovering from the flood of normans who want the quick action fix which modern BR games have devolved into.

There's some good shit out there, but you need to look for it.

that's just a Yea Forums meme user, Yea Forums isn't pop culture

I think my moment was when people stopped being amazed by graphics and started to nitpick. I remember playing SNES at my uncle's house and being amazed at how much cooler everything looked compared to my nes. I remember people losing it when when 3d games came out. I remember having long conversations with my friends about how nothing could ever be cooler then doom or goldeneye, but right around the corner, something even bigger would blow our minds. Then, I guess somewhere between re4 realism and cod4 realism, nobody seemed to be amazed by it anymore. Everything became sterile and by the numbers and everyone started fighting about resolution and fps and pixel counts. All kinds of dumb shit that didn't matter. "It" used to be about having fun with stupid video games. Now it's about arbitrary nonsense and dick size.

I remember dicking around when the mod first launched, it was fun roaming around making friends, luring a konga-line of zombies to some dude to get his leg broke by a single punch.

Probably after my 1st year in college. That's when life started to become the shitshow it is now. Every fucking day I pray to return back to my highschool days.

Remember how we got introduced to internet and it was amazing how you can have entertainment on demand without some retarded TV schedule?
But now people are willingly going back to a TV-like schedule ON THE INTERNET. What the fuck.

I saw a review in forbes of the new samsung folding phone that went "if you had a nintendo DS as a kid, you'll enjoy this". I mean mate a DS is a current console as far as I can tell.

This.
I was there for WoW, I was there for CoD, I was there for LoL. Although I wasn't there for Minecraft, Terraria was my jam.
I don't get battle royales. Not even don't get, but the first good game just released in the genre and I just don't care.

Ended up losing my friends as they fell for liking whatever everyone else liked and stayed that way and moving houses/schools only made it worse.

Society still influences your interest.
You can literally not change that fact.
Even if you lock yourself up, that still means you are influenced into avoidance.

You're right, if you don't like trends you end up being a contrarian unless you take advantage of said trends. In the end, what it really boils down to is whether you regret having the attitude of one or the other and personally I have no regrets; it's always a good laugh hearing people whine about childish concepts like "stress" and their specific "urges" when I am incapable of experiencing any of that crap that people use as a scapegoat for all their life troubles that aren't even a real issue in the first place.

>I'm guessing it's too much data, the internet overloads them with options.
Probably this, I grew up with dial up internet and gradually got used to the internet, then I enlisted got out of boot camp and I went to a computer with headphones on, went to youtube to listen to music (You really miss music when its gone) and just stared at the screen overwhelmed by the choices of what to listen to.

I like the "good old days" and much of new stuff, it's just that now I sometimes overthink some stuff and accidentally get mad.

Are you me? Most of the music I listened to in highschool were old soviet songs even though I wasn't a leftist anymore.
Only rap i ever listened to was stuff from the late 90s/early 2000s through my cousins.

If we're lucky maybe i2p can decentralize the internet

Maybe its because i didn't have an xbox when i was in elementary school, but i never really though halo was that good. BUt then again all i ever really played on my PC was SC4/3000/2000, Civ III, and a few flight sims and RTS, and whatever 3rd person games i had for the PS2

People use phones for 99% of their internet use so it's inevitable that the internet will shrink down to just a handful of apps.
People barely google to find the stuff in the wilderness between the giants and when they do the first few pages are the same big sites anyway.
Government regulation and demands for more control in the name of intellectual property is also making it more difficult and expensive to compete with the internet establishment.

The state of Yea Forums over the past years is an absolute disgrace, regardless of how much of a shit heap it used to be.

I recently went back to Yea Forums and goddamn, the board slowed down tremendously since about 3 years ago.

2013 Yea Forums was a trashfire, but I can at least remember it pulling off the occasional prank or having an interesting thread once in a blue more. I could never have imagined it would become 90% porn. That isn't to imply Yea Forums should have no porn, it just shouldn't be a supermajority of a board called "random."

An entire generation known for eating Tide pods and floss dance.

What a time to be alive.

Every generation is garbage, I was born in 1996 and I can't stand millennial normalfags any more than in can stand zoomer normalfags.
If I could my online social interactions wouldn't be limited to IRC channels and imageboards.

2016 huh. I remember thinking the site would get better. That it couldn't suffer this bout of cancer forever.
How wrong I was.

There's a difference between lack of identity and a lack of individuality, you shouldn't confuse the two, this was actually a problem capital A "Anonymous" made over a decade ago

My friends can't understand why I don't like e-sports. It's the definition of soulless. Even local tournaments are infected by the (lack of) spirit of it.
I just want to have fun.

It never ends. Just focus on what makes you happy instead of what divides you.

When WoW killed all the smaller multiplayer communities for like 6 months and even after that it was never the same.

When I realized zoomers were dead serious about saying gen 1 & 2 Pokemon sucked compared to modern releases... Also, zoomers telling me san andreas is garbage with no story compared to v

What this dude said

The main problem with Yea Forums imo is that it's essentially a fucking porn board now.
At this point I honestly they should just straight up ban threads dedicated to porn on Yea Forums, there are like 7 fucking porn boards already I don't know why so many retarded faggots feel the need to use Yea Forums for it.

This. I remember turning to my brother like last e3 and saying we aren’t the target audience anymore. I’m 24 and he’s 27.
