I'd be more willing to wager that most of us are late 20s to early 30s losers that have let life pass us by and tend not to stop and think how many years we've wasted here, maybe I'm projecting though.

i'm 19 and my first console was a Game Boy Color, have sex

>Average is 18
I doubt that. Its probably in the early 20s. Zoomers can't deal with old world forum UI that Yea Forums uses.

ps2 was my first and im 2001

First console I played was a snes that my parents had but the first current gen console at the time was a gamecube

Try 15.

Were you an 8.8 ragefag?

I was able to post without it verifying my ID back when i was 15

I'm 27 and I fucking hate Yea Forums, consoleniggers, tripfags, and buycucks.

28 yo here i fucking hate this place and these ppl but the (you)'s are too addicting

I spammed >8.8 for laughs even though I bought a Wii and TP. The game pretty much felt like a 8.5 to me

I came here when I was 12 years old.
Worst mistake of my life. I can't wait until hiro finally decides to shut this shithole down.

33 here.
Been here since 05. I've tried leaving several times but never went for more then a month without coming back. I really REALLY miss the old internet, and imageboards are one of the last types of websites that are like the pre07 internet. Due to that, at this point I'm full embracing Yea Forums and all of it shiftiness.

Vidya is for children and man children

>implying they are posting from a desktop and not a mobile device that "fixes" the UI

My first console was a GBA Advance SP and my first (and still favorite) game was Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga.

If you were to ask me I'd tell you that zoomers on Yea Forums are the way they are because they grew up during a different era of gaming history; One where corporations have been overextending their reach into individuals' personal lives and one where online communication has vastly changed the landscape of the video game industry. I personally envy many older Yea Forums anons because they got to experience the luxury of enjoying vidya during simpler times.

Explains all the corporate bootlicking

LARP-ing on a video game forum as someone who LARP's as a macho IRL, you definitely live up to your role model :^)

27 here, I'll never leave. I hate the fakeness and conformity that real life necessitates. I can't get along with those people.

Chapeau for this level of introspection, zoomer. Yes it was a simpler and healthier time. You had the excitement of technology, think of flipphones and snake on nokia phones, early stage of social media like myspace, online multiplayer like battlefield 2, etc. But without the ubiquitous nature of it. When you were outside, you were outside. When you were playing on the ps1/2 you weren't connected to some stupid online service. It's really hard to imagine or remember, even for boomers like me, what it was like to simply go outside without internet connection.

I genuinely cannot wait for the day where we can just unplug from the internet without negative consequencse. Where we do not have to worry about emails, messages, the latest garbage media that is pushed down our throats, and what Stacey and Chad are up to. Fuck all that shit. We've already seen everything that is there to see on the internet. Why we can't stop consuming I don't know...

Good show. There's literally nothing wrong with being young as long as you aren't a zoomer who refuses to play /vr/ shit. It would be more impressive if you didn't grow up with anything retro and decided to go back and play old shit anyway, but good nonetheless.

18 years old seems too high.

You're just now figuring that out?
This board has had weekly CoD nostalgia threads for the better part of a decade

also the constant """epic trolls""" spamming the same 5 meme threads all day long cannot be older than 10 mentally

I really do miss the days when everything didn't all have to be connected in one way or another. It felt more unique and meaningful when shit like early social media or each online game were relatively isolated and separate.

I believe this also, i don't believe kids come here, they are on social media not forums like this and reddit, basically >this but unironically

Children at heart!

I'm 29

I want the world to end.
My youth is gone and everything has gone to shit.

We grew up playing flash games on sketchy 2000s websites. Yea Forums is almost nostalgic to zoomers.

I had a PS2 when I was 4. Loved MGS2, even if I didn’t understand anything happening story wise.

Who over 30?

I blame the quadrillions of greentext compilations on YouTube

You just got buttblasted because you couldn't accept that Titanfall is fast

>This means the average Yea Forums user was born in 2001 and their first console was an xbox 360
For me it was the gamecube. played alot of sonic and melee. My first mario game was New super mario bros for DS. I didn't get a 360 until after the halo3 craze but I was able to get into the call of duty hype. mw2 and blops1 masterrace.

This is the unfortunate truth.

Please stop. I had graduated high school when you were 9 years old and I don't remember ever being on crazy old sites. When you first got on the internet at age 9 it had already progressed to modern levels.

It wasn't just one place. I got here because of ebaum's world and YTMND in the mid 2000s. I'm sure a lot of zoomers come from Reddit. 9gag was briefly relevant and probably funneled some shit in. GG funneled some in, election, TORtanic,the Fappening, Chanology, Gaiafags, habboshitters.

thanks Yea Forums

Zoomers are the ones who hate Titanfall, fast paced movement in an FPS is the antithesis to the garbage they grew up with

you been saying that since before hiro, dont you?
get some will and leave.

Is there anyone here that isn't from a broken home?

I'm 25 but started coming here when I was 12, videogames were my escapism.

>not playing 64
The fuck

No, it's full of 6th gen zoomers who think every game pre-2000 is outdated and every game post-2010 is shit or that 6th gen is "old school boomer".

no shit retard, fucking millennials ruin everything

this is also why theyre so defensive about their zoomzoom games. They thought everyone older than them would quit playingg games and then they would be in charge. But we're still here, and still think they have shit taste, and they hate it.

>there are people on this board who have never seen a VHS, cassette, 8 track, or CD-ROM

Why is growing up with modern technology bad boomer? I always see people saying things like "Well i was born in 2001 to a poor family and we had VHS and cassettes" trying to cram themselves into the "last of the old school". Why does it matter?

It's not that it's bad, it's just weird to think that they might never have interacted with, or even seen, those things that were so ubiquitous with our childhoods.

Feels weird seeing people say they are 18, since I started browsing at 14.

Hey, man, I was born in 2000 and my first console was the Wii.

Boomers are pretty shitty posters too.

Projecting indeed

I'm 27 and it's the only place on the internet that I know with true free speech where everyone is showing a relaxed mood. Even the shitposting itself can be cosy and comfy, the same thing would be unthinkable on plebbit.

There was a forum very close from Yea Forums's mind in France called jvc, but it's fucking shit now.

Based, my first console was DS lite and before then all I used was my dad's shitty Packard Bell PC

It's partially true though. Posting quality has been in a state of continuous decline from already being hit-or-miss at best, and now it's mostly shit.

Just straight up false

That's skewed by a plethora of underage people not being counted because they click a thing saying they're at least 18.

>they click a thing saying they're at least 18.
There's no such thing as that

The red pill is that this is actually because of the increasing number of ESLs here.

Clear your browser data and visit Yea Forums. You'll have to click it again.

That is a range not an average, user

You all have shit taste, but you grew up with shit games so its not really your fault

My guesses would be /cgl/, /ck/, and /adv/

Yea Forums /y/ and /hm/

How do we get zoomers to actually play good games? The moment the controls aren't one gorillion percent smooth, tutorials aren't holding your hand untill the end boss, and when there is no sign of a battle royale mode, they immediately lose interest.

I went to my local Walgreens today to pick up some popcorn, tortillas, a can of chili, soap, and some fiber. There was a sign on the checkout counter about the smoking age and it finally hit me that people born in 2001 were turning 18, but thankfully the reason is because based Texas is making the legal smoking age 21. I can feel young for a few more years. Dumb zoomer faggots.

I'm 30 and in the same boat. I'm just addicted to scrolling down, refreshing and shitposting. I'm like a robot at this point.

there is a mountain of a difference between late 20s and early/mid 30s in perspective, at least in my experience and everyone else i know. As someone that is actually in their early 30s, communicating with people in their 20s is difficult as fuck and im a linguist. I mean even their understanding of basic words is incessantly demonstrably wrong.

30yr old masterrace checking in

Buddy, Mike Tyson won his first HW championship at 20. If you think all 19 year olds are “scrawny”, you need to leave your house more often. lol.

Lost at life and trying to feel better about it ass. Lol

imagine being elitist about being old on a board about videogames, literally the most underage hobby available for discussion on Yea Forums, besides maybe /toy/

?

Most PHD graduates are in their 20s. lol.

>Most PHD graduates are in their 20s. lol.

No user. I'm not sure if you are baiting. But you just demonstrated exactly what i was saying. Most PhD graduates are older than 30. Most people currently graduating with PhDs are in their 20s.

If you're a man the best years are between 35 and 50. If you're a woman, no wait that's not possible.

>I mean even their understanding of basic words is incessantly demonstrably wrong.
Probably more about who're you're interacting with than age.
People with good vocabulary, reading, etc skills already have them developed way before age 30.

Other than the fact I'm 18, the rest still applies to me.

>NO NO NO DONT CALL ME OUT FOR BEING RETARDED
Choke on a railroad spike you fucking nigger I'm sick of you shitposting retards spreading this fucking garbage meme.

This post reeks of normalfag idiocy. Get out.

>People with good vocabulary, reading, etc skills already have them developed way before age 30.

While that is true there is definitely a difference in how those skills are perceived by people in their 20s vs 30s. For some reason kids view "big" vocabularies as pompous or try hard. Huge emphasis on the quotation marks around big because apparently a lot of 3 to 4 syllable words are considered big now. This is more generational than age, but still supports my point. I can understand intelligible 20 somethings, that goes without question. It's just they often can't understand intelligible 30 somethings.
