Zoomers will never know this feel

Honestly, more power to them for it. That kind of trashy mess isn't cool, and it does nothing to prove you're any good at vidya.

There's nothing prideful about living like a disgusting pig, and there's nothing respectable about devoting your entire livelihood to gaming unless it's your actual career.

The only thing that image conveys is how pathetic OP truly is.

Thanks for reminding me PC gaming was shit back in the day.

>games didn't get worse, you just grew up

They will, they will grow old and desperately try to convince themselves that if they keep pretending to enjoy the same things they did as a kid, they will eventually feel the same way they did as a kid. But you won't. You never will. It's no different than a junkie who just wants to feel as high as they did the first time.

What exactly is that feel? The feeling of having collected the things you want to collect? Or the feeling of being at the computer doing things you want to do? The feeling of playing the games in the picture? The feeling of using a CRT monitor? I'm 35 ffs (kill me) and this is retarded.

>Also cancel Stranger Things.
Even season 2 was pretty bad, I don't think they really know what to do with the story.

you can literally experience this right now nostalgia fag

True, other than the CRT monitor I still mostly enjoy everything in the pic.

CS 1.6 servers are mostly dead though. I can't find a good NA cs_assault server :(

Well there's a magazine talking about HL2. People were porting models from CSCZ and CSS into 1.6 back then. Though I always had a fondness for the default models.

>I don't think they really know what to do with the story.
They definitely didn't, but Daddy Netflix was desperate for an appseller

you can literally have all of this now. I dont know how expensive crt monitors are given the rarity.

Seriously mixing things up, from commodore 64 to half-life 2. The person that owns that room is in their 40s by now, and so must have been a mess during their 20s.

just steal one from the mountain of crt monitors in your local recycling center

Early 2000s nostalgia already peaked on the internet around 2015-2018, with 90s nostalgia being popular online around 2008-2015. Now in 2018-2019, we're moving onto Late 00s-early 10s nostalgia for stuff like Party rock anthem, Cool math games, iCarly, and Minecraft.

I can only agree with the ball mouse, my school had an optic mouse in the pc lab and it was like living in the future compared to home. That fucking ball got dust from another dimension.

The rest was quite adequate for those days, faggot

I remember back around 2012-2017 when 90s nostalgia used to be recurring threads on Yea Forums. By 2018-2019, zoomers had fully taken over Yea Forums and it shifted to Minecraft and late 00s-early 10s nostalgia threads. Just the way it is though, younger people always taking over the older people.

Mabye there's a little hope for this board. Thank you for calling this poser trash out.

I really hate how it feels there hasn't been any progression in vidya. Compare games from today to those from 10 years ago. Yeah sure, there are objective improvements in things like shaders and lighting and effects and texture detail and all that, but that aside, the games feel exactly the fucking same. It's not like the leaps in tech we saw previously.

Also I wish I could find an old CRT PC monitor. I looked around my parents house for monitor that came with our old windows 95 gateway PC, but they threw it out long ago, as did everyone else who used to have them. Real shame too, because those things objectively had superior image quality. No lag, no ghosting, no color or contrast issues, etc.

cs_militia was a good one too. I miss a lot of stuff from when I used to play 1.6 and I can't really get into CSGO. Hope I can afford to buy a server long-term soon.

Could you imagine what kinda games we'd get if that 12 mill was given directly to the dev teams based on merit and they were given 3-5 cycles between games? Fuck life isn't fair.

this is tasteless

Younger than me

Obviously it's just stupid art, you realize that, right?
No one would have their game boxes at such a stupid angle so that the cameraman can see exactly what the games are. You'd have them lined up right next to each other like you would books. You wouldn't have them out like \ \ \ \ \ you would have them like |||||||| to maximize shelf space. It's just a stupid picture, the idea is still conveyed fine.

Might be the Bethesda/Zenimax fallout mousepad, might be the game selection, including but not limited to shit like an almost-shrinkwrapped warfcrraft 1 box, despite having the "warcraft battlechest" on the shelf, having the "battlechest" to begin with, instead of the original discs, including for Diablo, might be the fact that PS1 games are just mixed in with PC games, including legend of dragoon, final fantasy IX, might be that there's really not that many games here for win98.
I mean Total Annihilation ,Stronghold Crusader, Dark Forces, Galactic Battlegrounds, Lego Racers, I'm a huge fan of, sure. And stuff like MOH:AA was pretty damn good back in the day. It's just weird to have all these edutainment jumpstart games and where-in-the-world-is-carmen-sandiego with them. And I'm kinda pissed becauise I lost my Test Drive Off-Road disc and this guy has it. I still have TDOR 2, but not the first one. Also the PC version of Episode 1 racer isn't that good.
Also the setup is just so incredibly soulless. I can't see a single game you'd even consider playing with that joystick. No wing commander types. The new Cougar case, the flat screen viewsonic (at least it's 4:3 aspect ratio though), the shitty lenovo keyboard and mouse...
props to actually having a big floppy there, but they were phased out long before then.. but i guess a win98 build can also be a dos build. :)
like i'm glad someone's enjoying themselves but man like what even is this? like a fold-out white resin table in the corner of an empty room? like i don't know everything is so sterile and awkward.

How? It was a combo of eurodance music (hugely popular in the 90s and early 2000s), anime (also hugely popular in the 90s and early 2000s) and the general old wild west style the Internet used to have in Web 1.0.
Advice animals and rage comics were part of the transitional era.

I mean, can't a 8yr old in 2003 play videogames? I had UT2003 bacak then. I also played UT99 and a re-issued version of Unreal. That game was legit scary for me back then.

lol thread?

Can you nu-battlestation retards explain to me why you get a mousepad that's so huge, and then block off 70% of it with your shitty tiny keyboards? Like why not just buy a mousepad that's the size of the green square, considering you can only USE the green square anyway?
Why not use a keyboard tray, or have the keyboard on your lap, or move your fucking monitors so the keyboard can be to the left, OFF the mousepad, so you can actually USE the whole fucking mousepad, like, why even have a mousepad this big if you have a fucking controller and you're clearly the kind of shitter who doesn't even use it? What shooters do you play that could use it? Surely you aren't playing any AFPS like quake or ut, you're playing overwatch, csgo, r6s, and other dumbfuckery where 45cm/360 is fine and you never have to turn around, so here, maybe just move your three fucking monitors back a bit, move the mousepad a bit to the right, move the keyboard a bit to the left, and actually have room to use your fucking mouse, instead of turning yourself into a mousepadlet.

I'd rather not have progress than fight in some war because some politicians can't communicate like adults.

Unfortunately, the market has stagnated since then and we've had a real drop in creativity since the big companies realized they could sell the same call of duty game for every year. I guess we just have to be satisfied with one genuinely innovative game every 4-5 years. If it wasn't for Nintendo, there would be absolutely no innovation in the gaming space, besides VR, which kind of seems like a dead end until they can actually make something impressive out of it. I'm watching the space, but there's a long way to go. Fuck soulless industry hacks and trannys that destroyed gaming.

Peak of PC gaming

You have a child's understanding of war and human history. Not surprising coming from a generation raised by social media and video games.

Are you saying that you wouldn't have done the same in World War fucking II? It was the biggest and deadliest war in human history, Nazis were already working on their own nuclear weapons, and people wanted it all to end by any means necessary. Drastic times call for drastic measures. You have the privilege of hindsight to look back and say "Maybe things could have been done differently", but in the moment, you can't expect even Einstein to be thinking through every possibility step-by-step.
This is why I hate it when people say Truman was a terrible president because of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It was a tragedy, but he didn't have many options, and dropping the nukes ended up being LESS deadly than the alternatives.
It's easy to be a hero in retrospect, I want to see you actually do the right thing in the moment.

I'm 29 and I didn't use social media until I was an adult. It's you who has a skewed perspective. War is part of being human.

Men fought in a war so we could cut off childrens genitals in 2019 and call it progress. We were not the good guys.

The americans were bigger war criminals in ww2 than anyone else, that much is clear.

That doesn't mean it's good.

>so we could cut off childrens genitals
That isn't what's happening and if you have to purposely use dishonest arguments like this maybe you're not the one who is good/right. You're being manipulative.

he's right. your good guys turned this world into a piece of shit. your greatest generation literally won so that their offspring could be killed off and get replaced. fuck you.

phineas and ferb were pretty good desu

it wasn't the same back then as it is now

The internet was a mistake.

thank god that no matter how pathetic my life is I still have better things to do than get upset over some other generations nostalgia

I think you've bought into the fearmongering a bit too much. And thinking that the world didn't have as many problems 100 years ago is delusional. Even if the percentage of white people in the USA has gone down, the total population has increased which means there are actually more white people in the USA now than 50 years ago.

>your greatest generation literally won so that their offspring could be killed off and get replaced

Shit like this has been happening since sexual reproduction. Grow the fuck up you little shit.

gaming is too cookie cutter now. Eventually you'll have offshoots become better and the best games will be underground, while mainstream will stay cod/fifa/phone games

just like music

If there's one thing I like about modern gaming, it's that digital distribution has reduced the clutter in my home by at least a little.

Remember that feeling of being super optimistic about gaming’s future? It felt like games were getting better and better every year and it was never going to stop.

I really dont get how ecelebs became so popular and accepted though

Watching someone play a game is one thing but virtually jerking them off and sending them money over their fake, dramatic clown type personality is levels of pathetic that shouldnt be possible

I never had that. Around 2003 it was mixed for me, a lot of my favorite games released around that time, but the Age of Shadows expansion for Ultima Online was also total garbage and killed my favorite online game, so I wasn't entirely optimistic after that. I also hated CSS, but really liked a lot of HL2 mods around 2008. I think most modern games suck, even though I still find good ones occasionally, and the only thing I'm really currently looking forward to is virtual reality stuff. Thinking of playing a lot of my old favorites in VR is exciting.

Part of me wishes I was a teen in the 2000s instead of the 2010s

which leads back to this user's point draft the faggots and weed them out

They left because it was hopeless and their was no way to complete the main objective of the war. It was a loss.

literally everything else (shelves, hoarding and omnipresent branding, gay ass faggoty warm palette and ''i read books''-tier cancerous whoring of a coffee mug print) reeks of zoom-zoom-zoom, trying to depict an era he was only tangentially a part of thru the lens of contemporary brand loyalty+social media whoring culture.
OP is definitely gay.

Zoomers (gen z) were born in 2000 onward, late 90s onward to some, and were toddlers at most when MGS and Half life were out. So I don't understand how those games are "zoomer".

Rent-free

Gen 3 had the best spinoff era by far tho

>late 90s onward to some
I prefer that definition because permanent memories start forming around age 4-5. So a kid born in 1997 or 1998 wouldn't remember 9/11, which is the cutoff for American millennials

1996 still produces a cavalcade of zoomlike faggots though, holy shit.

I don't understand...

isn't three screens to distracting? How do you focus on one thing if two things are always trying to grab your attention?

we pirated things too but most good games needded cd keys

As far back as 2006 94-97 was being lumped together as one transitional group, and you had people born in 97 saying they related more to siblings born in 94 rather than siblings born in 99. But now, people have shifted 97 to being the start of the "new school", when just a few years ago it was universally considered to be 1998

as someone who is nearly 40, what do you regret the most in life? i'm 22 and i remember when i was like in year 2 in school, there was a day when my best friend was not in school and this girl's best girlfriend was not in school and the 4 of us were kind of friends despite it being weird for boys and girls to be friends at that age and because of that, me and her hung out all day together, and this was the girl i had a crush since like year 1. i guess i developed early. we were sitting on a swings next to each other and i wanted to ask her out then and there but i was too much of a pussy to do it and i wish i did it. the next year i moved out of that town and never got to see her again. that's like one of my biggest regrets, although I have no idea how she would've reacted, I don't even know if she was mature enough to understand romance. so that's one of my biggest regrets, what's yours?

None of the shit you said matters. Whenever I make a big mistake, do something dumb, ruin a relationship, etc it still sucks but instead of dwelling on it for days/weeks/years l just try to do better next time. I'll probably do the same shit several more times but if the frequency decreases that's a trend towards being a better person.

There is nothing wrong with wishing you had something older generations got.
Stay mad zoomers. 90's gaming was amazing. The defining difference was the massive leaps every console generation. We started with NES, then SNES, then someone got a SEGA Fucking SATURN, and then Playstation and N64.... and then the Dreamcast fucking blew my shorts off. It was always so cool to see the IMPROVEMENTS every gen and how awesome games where back then. Now it's this stagnant hamster wheel that spins backwards half the time because people buy the same rehashed shit. There is no reason to make anything new any more. We get like 5 GENUINELY NEW games per year now.
Imagine the 360 gen you have nostalgia for, but just 10 times better, like they invent 4K resolution and then 3 years later you are reading about 8K resolution in a magazine being in the next console and they actually live up to their promises and deliver actual 8K. Then another 3 years and some kid at school tells you about 24K and next Christmas you're gaming at 24K because they actually delivered on promises back then.

Some people born in 1997 remember 9/11, I've seen countless posts on the internet affirming this. Someone born Jan 97 living in New York for example is very likely to remember it, whereas someone living overseas born in December 97 is unlikely to remember it. It depends on their circumstances. Regardless of circumstances, anyone born in the following years is extremely unlikely to remember, with people born in 99 being the first ones who biologically have no chance of remembering it. This is another reason why 97 used to be considered a transitional year rather than the start of something.

i am pretty sure nostalgia is something natural for humans, having fond memories of your childhood and all, every generation will experience nostalgia. like when you hear a song from earlier decades, early 2000's, 90's, 80's.. et cetera, and that is linked to memories you have from that time

is this really true?

The worst kind and is the prime reason for condoms no matter how much you hate wearing them. Her entire goal is to trick someone into financial support so she never has to work. They are sociopaths and know exactly what they're doing.

It's about half and half. Some women are fine with you expressing your emotions, but here's the thing: most of them lie about it. So if a woman ever tells you it's okay to be emotional, don't listen to her. This is the sort of thing you can only suss out after decades of marriage.

New port came out a few months ago so everyone is just now playing it and pretending they’ve played it before.

you're right about 96, because 5 years olds should be able to remember it

No, because you still don't remember the experience of shopping for NES games at FunCoLand, having to deal with Nintendo's tip hotline (since Gamefaqs probably existed when you played them), and a boatload of other peripheral cultural reasons

Younger zoomers are actually even more screwed than you, since they don't remember video game consoles before they were internet-connected, so they have a different sense of what single player offline games are

remembering multiple years of the early 2000s (2000-2004) would cancel out not remembering 9/11. Being some zoomer born in 2000 who played the nes in 2009 however would not cancel out being a zoomer who doesnt remember 9/11

Ok, I can agree with you there.

you're the fuck who keeps posting the same image to battlestation threads in /g/

I've seen American people online born in 1996 who don't remember 9/11, just as i've seen people born in 1997 who remember 9/11. I've never seen anyone born in 1998 say they remember 9/11, and all the pre-1996 people saying they don't remember 9/11 are from overseas

I'm by all measures here labelled a zoomer and I get this feel completely

>Remember that feeling of being super optimistic about gaming’s future?
not really.
Since WoW came out it was clear that the industry didn't care about the "pro gamer" and only aimed to casualize as much as possible their games so every tard monkey could pour money into it.
more than 10 years later we have mobile games and microtransaction into everything.

Boomer shit was a dumb forced meme that ended up taking off because older millennials are actually in a weird transition period between still thinking we're young but out of nowhere became similar to baby boomer fathers. It's a mix of nostalgia for the stereotypical dad from the 80s/90s that we saw when growing up and now became that dad (even if you don't have kids). At least that's what I took from it. Maybe read more into it than the retards who just wanted to spam another wojak.

The best part is it was made in atime where sjw dont even exist The movie was made in The right time and the right decade

That's fine, this is really only a good litmus test for Americans, Canadians, and I guess Saudis

I remember watching Spongebob and Pokémon circa 2002-2004 (memory's a little fuzzy).

Raises the question that I never thought of do other countries have different generation lines? Culturally different countries I assume wouldn't follow baby boomer/gen x/millennial/gen z since they're all based off US cultural events.

I remember my 4th birthday party

Of course following up my post we have this delightful nugget

>Tfw America helped bolsheviks take over and communism triumph in Europe, and fought the good guys

You realize that the US supported the White Army in Russia directly during the Russian Revolution, right? And it was willing to nuke Japan to end the Pacific war after seeing the USSR landgrab all of Eastern Europe, so that Japan wouldn't suffer the same fate, right? And that the US spent countless money (including the Marshall Plan) throughout the Cold War to protect countries from commies, right?

No you don't, because you're retarded

Attached: 2spooky.png (628x443, 352K)

most countries have boomers since WW2 was global, but after that it varies

however the internet is dominated by the English language, so I wouldn't be surprised if various countries think they have the same culture patterns regarding generations for arbitrary reasons

I remember there was definitely a lot more variety and nuances in games which is something I always appreciated. Something I generally miss is when studios could express their ideas without worrying about market reception. Game devs went crazy and tried new ideas often and that made me excited. It seemed like they had this unending stream of imagination that would keep on going.

Now, everything is just safe and stagnant.

People can have flashes of memory much earlier than that even as a toddler but it's just a brief like 30 second memory. Very different from full vivid memories. I know which desk I was sitting in school that day.

'92 here. I had a tonsillectomy literally on 9/10/2001 in a hospital in NYC and was coming off of anesthesia on 9/11.

Normalizing kinks the last few years isn't really a zoomer thing since they weren't in the sexual market yet. You might be right but since they're still in high school/college I don't know. It's definitely been the case with late millennials in their mid to late 20s for several years though. Since maybe 2013 (ironically the same year tinder hit mainstream) every year has normalized a new kink.

No they aren't.
Let's say someone was born in 1997, but hates Minecraft, Fortnite, and Bieber, and loves The Beatles, Star Wars, Nintendo 64, and Pink Floyd.

They resemble the "wrong generation in youtube comment section" type of youngling, something like them has existed in every generation. They're a zoomer.

>born in 97 and hates that garbage and likes stuff that is actually good

People born in the late 90s can't win. You just want to hate on anyone younger than you.

You know what? Yes, I WAS born in the wrong generation, thank you for mentioning! I fucking hate this shitty decade. I've been waiting all decade for things to get back to the level of quality they were in the early 2000s, and things STILL FUCKING SUCK DICK.
So yeah. I wish I WAS born in the late 80s or early 90s. Then I would be able to experience more of the good times.
No, I will not conform to the diarrhea the media spews out these days. I will NOT play Fortnite, I will NOT listen to Miley Cyrus and her disgusting twerking, I will NOT watch whatever capeshit is new in theaters, and I most certainly will NOT get a social media account!
I'm going to live my life like it's 1997-2005. And fuck anyone who has a problem with that!

It wasn't much different than playing on a console really. I was a kid so it's not like I really cared about much of the technical aspects about it at the time, although the jump-up in graphics was pretty noticeable.
I think the most memorable moment was the first time I logged onto Mplayer and played multiplayer Quake on a random server. Playing a game online with other real people was pretty crazy the first time I did it since before then the only multiplayer stuff I played was on the N64 sharing a tiny TV screen with my friends.

Calm down Elliot. No one gives a fuck about you or how much you hate your peers.

Nice obedient sheep mentality, repeating what you've been trained to think about WW2. You're too naive if you actually believe the American people had, (and still have nowadays), any say over military and war decisions made by the USA.

How do i put this for you, had America made the right choice of whom to support, instead of fighting blood of their blood, if the Nazis had won, we would be living in a social utopia right now, in the height of civilization and human developement, instead we are witnessing the death of the White race, the European culture, and civilization. Every victory and feat the European race achieved collectively, is being turned back and erased, such as the defeat of islam, the prospect now is muslims being the future of Europe. And America isn't doing much better

face reality like a man, pussy

Imagine typing a post like this and thinking you're not a zoomer
How have you not grown out of this phase by now?
Were you born in 1997 or 2007

You are 100% a revisionist. A few years back Pew themselves had the millennial definition as 1981-1997, and 1998 as the start of gen z. Kill yourself

Nah, you're thinking of someone else. First of all, I don't reveal my age on the Interwebs. Second of all, I didn't once say "most people born in the late 90s are boomers". I've maintained pretty consistently it was a 50/50 ratio, but I'm over that now. I've dropped the boomer/zoomer meme entirely. Now I just judge people by their characters, not their ages.

Pretty sure my old NEVER OBSOLETE Emachine is still in my parents basement.

>I'm in my 20s
Considering how much you're sperging about 1997 you're 22, which is still an adolescent. Give it like five more years.

That's not the same person

Yeah, I am. That's why I responded to his post right here:

I'm this guy

you're the other guy

All right, let's just admit that despite having very different opinions, we're both massive spergs when it comes to this subject.

Funny how nobody has mentioned that all the media zoomers like or remember are the works from during or after the recession when everything was going to shit.

I hope your definition of Zoomer is born 2000-present, because if not, I might have a bone to pick with you about that statement.

probably macros- b space

a friend stole most of my cds- wow, guild wars, battlefiend 2 battlefrield 2142, office 06, i have oblivion i never beat it though.

It's not really a choice you can make, since a lot of the stuff that defined the era was based around brushing up against the limits of technology at the time. Even something as basic as sound was stone age level needing a dedicated card to run a midi soundtrack in the dos era, and the magazine in the OP isn't a trivial addition since that was your information source for a great number of things. It's a time that I think is impossible to replicate because of the standards of what was considered acceptable were totally different, and "quality of life" wasn't really a concern when all of this was new. For example I don't think any developer, indie or otherwise going forward is going to sit down and come up with something like Tomb Raider which is entirely based around clunky platforming (except as a blatant ripoff), even though I could probably load up one of the original games now and have fun with it still today. The same is true of old classics like Starcraft that have a lot of interesting quirks that no one is going to put into a new game intentionally. Looking back at all this stuff in general I think limitations have a lot more to do with genuine creativity than most realize, and why there's really no going back now that literal toasters have more powerful computers than my PC in 1996. There was a whole world spinning around all this stuff that can't be recaptured even if you play Half-Life every day until you die.

>I'm glad I can buy digital. Fucking game shit is just clutter taking up shelves.

digital distribution came at just the right time, when people became intolerable enough to actually go out and buy vidya.

Well, I do have this idea for something that could change the world.
I can't go into to much detail right now, because it's not fully fleshed out yet and there's quite a ways to go before I can make it, but what I can say is it might just be the most revolutionary invention of all time.
The basics of it would involve virtual reality, AI, and possibly transhumanism (I'll have to figure out how to work that in if I can).
Sounds like a crazy idea, but a lot can change in just 30 years.

Groceries are the only thing I buy in person and that's just because whole foods won't deliver to where I live because beach traffic is too bad.
