Try living in a first world country.

Tug of war with siblings when it comes to your single land line. Trying to cram as much porn as you could on a floppy. Copying friend's floppy cause you were broke and wanted games. A/S/L

I remember how we asked big guys to get porn for us from VHS from rental shop

We were born in a simple time when video games were new and exciting.

I think the excitement of video games died when it was put on the phone, kids growing up with those cheaply made phone games that had no heart put into them, other then to make a quick buck.

My town got stuck in the 90's, the Playstation 1 was the hottest shit till 2007

I had nights like that too, user. I picked out things like Contra 3 and Smash T.V., how about you?

No way. Mobile games were just to pass the time until you got home. The real issue was priced were jacked up. I remember them being like $20, now it’s triple that.

I remember always seeing Ninja Gaiden in game stores and being salty that I didn't have an Xbox. I just stared at the box cover like some kind of Dickensian street urchin, my sole solace being the possibility that it probably wasn't as cool a game as it looked.
It's probably for the best I didn't know how good it was or I would've been extra salty.

And then I just got Tenchu WoH from Blockbuster instead, worked out okay in the end.

We asked big guys to buy porn magazines, it was disgusting because guys used to share it and all the pages were drenched in cum

Brainlord, EVO and Secret of Evermore were my favourites, Conkers Bad Fur Day eventually became a family favourite too and we'd rent it almost every week to play the multiplayer together

I remember years ago when people used to rant on the late 00s-early 10s as being the downfall shit era. Now zoomers are posting childhood nostalgia on social media for late 00s-early 10s things like Johnny test, icarly, and bieber, when it used to be widely hated.

Different type of game, but I agree, you didn't make out too badly. Did you ever get to play Ninja Gaiden? Was it all you could have hoped for?

I don't understand people glorifying childhood like that. No control, ignorance, blind choice. There was magic in it, but, not being a kid, I just don't see it anymore.

I wouldn't call if glorifying childhood so much as fond remembrance.

But in retrospect, is that not how it looks? Parents pick you up, parents decide when they're willing to drive you there, parents decide what good things you get, when, and in what quantities. With some leeway but still.
Mundane things seem magical. Seem.
You pick the coolest looking game, but then it turns out shit. Or it's actually great but your tastes are different so you think it's shit.
I dunno. Maybe I'm just looking at it wrong. But posts like that just do nothing for me.

Yep. I made sure to get a 360 as soon as it dropped and got NG on backwards compat and NGII. And yeah, it's pretty much the best at what it does, not as polished as NGB which I got later but still great.

Now everyone is out of state, engineers in another state or moved with their folks years ago. The only one's left are teachers or finishing up their education. And here I am still, emulating the same games we used to play. I can't even find throwback in stores anymore.

I try not to idolize the past too much, the present has a lot of great things too, but it's definitely interesting living through the change in video games during the 80s, 90s, the 00s. I miss it, and like everyone else, I wish I appreciated the time more. It's something I will forever hold dear, most people won't care about some old man's memories.

Playing a handheld in the back of your parent's car during a nightdrive, using the street lamps as lights, giving you a brief few seconds to play your game.

Reading gaming magazines and using those to get ideas on what games to buy.

Anime actually have a presence on something other than adult swim Toonami or early morning Pokemon.

Bringing over your game or memory card, in order to use your save to play at a friend's house

Being more ignorant about video games in general, more of a sense of mystery without the internet.

Reading the manual of a game you just got on the ride home(Or just manuals on their own.)

Prices of games going all over the place for physical releases, some 30, some 80 dollars.

Games having a bigger sense of mystery and rumors.

Local multiplayer and split screen actually existing.

JRPGs everywhere, every system, from high budget games to low budget titles. Low to mid budget JRPGs not limited to handhelds.

Rushing home to watch some Toonami, only to watch Raditz crash again thus signaling another few weeks of DBZ reruns, god dammit.

The buzz of CRTs.

Didn't have to worry about people spoiling the ending or events to a game.

Game journalists not having a chip on their shoulder.

Demos. Demo CDs and DVDs.

To a lesser degree, the discovery of emulation in its early days.

Having to make sure your parents or your siblings don't use the phone while you play online.

My old pets. I miss my cats. I miss my neighbor's dog. I hope I was good enough for you guys

Memory card art and animations.

Not having to pay for online activity on consoles.

True, zoomers don't know shit about media tapes. VHS tapes were dope you could actually rewind and fast forward without skipping shit like early DvD players that only let you "skip". That and making mix tapes off the radio. There was just something about that whole time period that was more comfy, I'm sure being a kid has some too do with it.

That reminds me of what I had. Following graduating highschool, a group of us got together every friday to hook up xbox's, pc's, whatever console to play games. We played WoW, FF11, Socom2, Guitar Hero, Smash Bros, Starcraft, Swat 4, Halo, you name it. One of us even spent some time making an RPGmaker game loosely based on our hijinks (pic related.)

Good times.

This was a huge one, you didn't know much about the games you were buying unless you happened to read the review in a gaming magazine, or your friends had it.

Not having the idea of monetizing their hobbies constantly looming over their head.

This. So much this.
Nowadays the genre is only starting to try and recover with a bunch of niche sandbox games being made here and there among carbon theme park copies of each other. But I've yet to see a game that'll manage to recapture the magic of sandpark games like Ragnarok Online, Maple Story and such.

No gamecube is boomer class console along with Xbox 1, zoomers are X360, PS3

Reminder that there is no such thing as boomers and zoomers.
Baby boomers are people born between 1946 – 1964 which I doubt any of us here are.
The term you are looking for is Millennials, which are people born between 1980-2000

>According to Forbes (2015), the generation after Millennials, Generation Z, which they defined as people born from the mid-1990s to the early 2000s, made up 25% of the U.S. population, making them a larger cohort than the Baby Boomers or Millennials.

I think my parents weren't very good parents(afterall I'm here still) and to try to be a bit better they gave me plenty of consoles, and many games. We weren't rich or anything but my parents would go out of their way to get me games. Not everything, but more than most kids.

There was though in the beginning a charm having only one consoles, while one of your friends had another console. It was cool going over their house and experiencing a different world.

My parents bought my brother a playstation, but he bought the games himself. I bought medievil with my own money, but never got to play it. Parents forced me to let my brother play it because "you never play it, it's just wasted money user".

I thought boomers were the baby boomer generation, which is 1946-1964. 90's are Millenials until 1996. From 1996 it's Gen-Z, which I assumed is Zoomers

Gamecube/Xbox/PS2 was the last generation where every console was amazing and absolutely worth owning in its own unique ways, PC was also completely unique and equally amazing, all four platforms were at their peak in creativity, soul, and genuine effort. The limitations of the era pushed developers to get abso-fucking-lutely everything they could out of the memory and power available to them so when they really put effort it in showed.

PS3, Xbox 360, and the Wii were all okay at best and bad in new and disappointing ways. and the gen that followed is the worst we've ever seen with rampant homogenization, aggressive and unwarranted monetization, and shrinking AA market that is taking the niche market with it now that all we get are half assed indies that could have been good if only they were as polished and full of content as games used to be.

I have very little hope for the next gen once the PS5 and Xbox One Two finally launch.
Nintendo always sorta delivers but they've been slacking real fucking hard the last two gens and its only getting worse, I thought the Switch would have a huge launch line up since they were seemingly holding so much shit back from the Wii U, and it seemed like a safe assumption that game output would increase since their dev teams wouldn't be split between a console and a handheld anymore. But its like Nintendo is just out of ideas or doesn't feel like they need to work too-too hard since they basically aren't competing with anyone anymore and have their own little niche. I'm getting pretty sick of all of their games feeling like "just enough" though, I've been skipping more of their releases than I used to because I'm tired of spending 60 bucks to find out the game has none of that old Nintendo Polish™
The other two are just jerking off over their online subscription profits and have barely released fuckall.

to cut a long retarded explanation short, the less im involved with games, as in reading about it and the tech or systems in it, the less i enjoy the game
Like, watching dev talks and learning about stuff may have spoiled me, its a double edged sword, you get more hype the more you learn about it but also become more acutely aware of its issues

It's a meme you dip.

Older games work around the limitations or sometimes use the limitations to their advantage to let your brain fill in the rest like you said.

Newer games leave less to the imagination and suffer for it

See user, you are taking the names seriously, you got to put them in the internet context. You are abosutely right on the real world terms.

The boomer name in this context is ironic. What we call "boomers" are kids from the early 80s to early 90s. Zoomers is younger.

Someone in your family is lording military service over you, and the rest of your family is going along with it because of respect that such service brings.

But it's not directed at you, or against you. Any unfair comparisons being drawn are the result of the people making them, not from what you are and what you've done. You can appreciate your own achievements and triumphs without the facade of serving a greater cause. Be more for yourself user.

I beg to correct a bit here: NDS was a spiritual contiunation of PS1-N64 era adopting gamedev dogmas of that time but in a more refined way. Kinda like GBA was a spiritual successor to SNES and Sega MD. Other than that late 00s-early 10s were trash aside of some rare occasion, that's true.

you know that DVR has existed for 15 years and was far better than VHS ever was, right? You're just nostalgic for your childhood, children of today will attach themselves to totally different things and will still feel the exact same things that you do now, just for different stuff. They will be telling their younger how "you just can't understand", whether it's what it was like before every car drove itself and you had to actually work the wheel and pedals, or before you could project images directly onto your eye and had to look at a "screen" to view shit, or any number of things. Stop thinking that your childhood is special because it was yours. It's true that you were part of a unique period of time, but so was everyone else in your age group, and so too was everyone that was ever a child during a "stable" time (no war, depression, etc.).

Case in point, current kids will be talking in 10-20 years about how great Fortnite was and how "today's kids just can't understand". You can't stop it, and you can't change it, so just accept it. You don't have to change your own opinions, just recognize that they are people like you and they are affected by the same sensations, and that their opinions are too affected in kind.

I agree with what you're saying. I have a feeling though, in some very distant future, that the upbringings of generations will become homogeneous over time. I'm not sure if that will be when space colonies exist or what, but I just get the feeling that Earth is destined for something like that at some point. (ex: 60 years of children being raised where life is basically the same for everyone until they're adults.)

Shit buzzwords. You're older and should know better.

>He thinks we're getting space colonies

Millennials is a broad term. I'm 34 and technically considered one.

Yeah that's true. I remember years ago when people said the late 00s-early 10s were when everything went to shit, and "le 90s" were better.

Now in 2019 Early Zoomers post childhood nostalgia for the late 00s-early 10s, when it was considered the downfall into shit by those older than them. Same will happen with late 10s-early 20s Fortnite nostalgia.

Last time I checked (2014) they were still fine, so hopefully they're fine. They haven't been exposed to any tough conditions or severe changes in humidity.

Seeing Halo 3 and Minecraft nostalgia threads here was something else. I still popped on those threads since I liked both of those games, but seeing that most anons posting were kids around the release of those fucking made me look in the mirror for grey hairs.

Yea Forums used to hate on those games years ago, but now is nostalgic for them. It's because this board (and the internet) has a fixed general audience of 13-21 year olds, that new people cycle in and out of.

In the end I convinced them to get a second phone line and I got a summer job on a local farm to help pay for it.

I feel like the gen after the gamecube/PS2 kind of killed the feeling of excitement for videogames in general.
You don't even get a goddamn manual with your game anymore to inform you of all the mechanics which is just goddamn bullshit.
Videogames are truly dead and it's one of the reasons I pretty much pirate every new game that comes out now even if I have an interest in it (and emulate older ones that are too expensive because of scalpers).

That happened already for long, long stretches of time, due to cultures being disconnected and to things not changing all that much. That was in the past when people were less connected. The 20th century is when you've seen the world get much faster in how it changes and progresses, and I see no reason to expect that to decrease in the 21st century, as more and more people become interconnected.

People here never hated minecraft, they just got tired of it. What they hated was notch being a lazy piece of shit and was not very good at programming.

I'm more annoyed by CoD posting not being instant shitflinging. Might as well talk about fucking Madden here too.

Sarcasm or humor in general. Then again my generation will never understand the need to get offended about anything for no fucking reason.

Agreed, people who are saying that adulthood is hell are stuck in the transition phase.
Replace "work" with "school" and it was basically the same. You didn't need money to keep your home and shit, but had strict rules instead. And did you genuinely enjoyed all those forced visits to see relatives and other people you barely even cared for?

I still have the sound of the tape whirring round the heads in my mind from the millions of times I would put a tape in, although I'll never hear it again so perhaps it'll become more distorted as time goes on. I kinda miss the adverts before the movie, mostly because you could skip them by just fast forwarding the tape to the start of the film, but they also felt a bit more special than the ones on DVD.

I mean I did because those relatives I barely cared for had cousins that I could do fun things with. I always enjoyed being around my family so this is a feel I can't relate to.

In all reality, people forget how good VHS could look. Most movies didn't get properly remastered until the late '90s when they became concurrently available on DVD as well. I have a small VHS collection that I watch from time to time when I'm feeling nostalgic, and I've got a few duplicate tapes from when they were originally released and then later remastered editions. Raiders of the Lost Ark's release from 1984 vs the 1999 re-release is fucking night and day, borderline DVD quality on the latter. Hell, even the 1990 release of the Star Wars trilogy vs. the 1995 remaster will give you whiplash. There's a bit more analog "fuzz" in VHS tapes, but on the other hand, if you're using a really nice TV/monitor to watch, then the DVDs will have visible digital compression. Hi-Fi audio which became standard on most VHS tapes in the mid 80s makes for CD-quality audio.

People love to shit on VHS, but with a clean VCR and good audio setup, it's still a highly enjoyable way to watch a movie. And I just love analog technology for how simple and direct it is. No log-ins, no load times, no forced trailers, commercials or menus, just fucking content. It's literally quicker for me to pop a tape into my VCR and get to the movie than it is to boot up my smart TV and search for what I want in Netflix or Amazon or whatever. It's one of those weird paradoxes where people are fooled into thinking something is more convenient when it really isn't at all.

Honestly, this whole "cultural" debate is just getting retarded. I used to argue that "Boomer culture" lasted from 1950-2010, and "Zoomer culture" from 2010-present. But now, I realize it's a whole lot more complex than that. There's no such thing as a culture that purely belongs to one group. Even our current culture, which I still associate primarily with Zoomers, has a lot of Millennial bullshit in it.
The truth is, there wasn't ever actually a golden age. We just pick out the good parts of the past and try to get them to represent the whole, while ignoring all the crap. I've just now come to terms with this.

Ah, that was before my use of computers. Was still shitting my pants in the late 80's.

>when you taped the wrong channel

What counts as zoomer to you faggots? I was born in ‘00. First videogame was pokemon red on the gameboy color. First “TV” I watched was vhs tapes of Spiderman (‘67) and Scooby doo, Where are you. I specifically remember watching “Which witch is which” at least 12,000 times, and that aired in ‘69. I remember shitting my fucking pants when my dad brought home a TV with a vhs AND dvd player. The only taste I got of modern shit was because my parents were movie pirates and all of my dad’s friends were game collectors, so I would get handed down shit like a gameboy advanced or a Playstation. My dad got paid way too fucking much at his job, so for christmas in ‘11 he got everyone their own xbox 360, that’s probably the first time I owned anything “up to date”.
Oh sorry, I mean “Yeah fortnite, WOO”

seriously though, how young do you have to be to have legitimately never even touched a VHS tape before?

ignorance =/= innocence
it is about feeling, not about knowing

I've started seeing people born in the second half of the 90s (mainly 1997) call themselves zillennials. I predict though that everyone will eventually stop being so goddamn nitpicky and generation z will strictly be 21st century onward

Its a objective fact that the late 00s-early 10s are a terrible era, just like its an objective fact that since 1950s, the USA has been in decline. So what if people feel nostalgia for it? People always will.

The late 00s were all right. If you just turned off the TV and radio and played games, talked to friends, and used the Internet, it was great.
Everything went downhill in the 2010s once "the system" took those as well.

I don't think it's much of a picky thing, culture and technology changed really fast in the late 00s to early 10s. As someone who was born in the late 90s and matured pretty early, I was on the last vestiges of GeoCities/Angelfire era internet in elementary school. Those old vidya fansites I used to go on back then became pretty much irrelevant quickly after. People who were born even in, say, 2000 or 2001 never got to experience that. They also didn't experience much of Newgrounds, aside from the porn games maybe. For god's sake, they're too early to remember &fmt=18.

Newgrounds and Geocities were pretty big in 2007-2009. Geocities died in October '09, and Newgrounds started dying out around 2010.

2009 was the last year of "Wild West Internet".

Every episode is up on the digital archive project site for torrenting. Since different companies own different seasons of the show, its unfortunately the only way you'll ever get to see most of them, since there probably won't be physical releases.

God this really activates some deep childhood memories.

I enjoy tabletop games with friends, but yeah once you get a large group of people, video games become cumbersome to do unless you plan a larger-scale event.
You're lucky you got groups to still hang out with. I can get a hold of my friends from high school or college to meet-up maybe once a year. Other than that, they're too busy with wives/girlfriends/lives/careers.

I would honestly take the Yea Forumsshit from back then over the political shit on Yea Forums now. I probably just feel this way because I got here around 2011 myself, though.

Weird to think how fast things change.

When DVD came around in the late 90s I couldn't wait to get rid of all my tapes. Don't have much nostalgia for shitty quality and rewinding, so I'm just reminded of how good we have it now.

I kinda prefer the mechanics explained in the game, I just liked manuals for their unique story tidbits, funny writing, and artwork not shown outside the manual.

Mostly because jannies/mods clamped down on ponies for a couple of years. Plus I heard the show is finally winding down. You'll still see a shitposter or 2 trying to elicit some replies with a pony op image, but politics is now the topic of choice for shitposting

I fucking hate the term Zoomer and Boomer, they're such forced memes. Stop dividing people with words that sound like they came form a Dr. Suess book and speak like fucking people.

Haven't played them but I've seen articles written on how insulted gamejournos are by the difficulty names.

>but politics is now the topic of choice for shitposting

I honestly feel out of place on Yea Forums these days because of this. It's not that I'm offended, but I do still find the stuff in this image more relatable and familiar than all the political fighting that Yea Forums has now.

i thought calling myself that and conflating myself with actual baby boomers was just a joke

>without it being some sort of general
You mean people actually talking about the game and not swerving towards politics, consolewars bullshit, or crying about SWJs. Even when we were shitposting back then, it wasn't as bad as it is now.
