"Late 90s and early 2000s in gaymen" bread

I'm 30 now so I miss the LAN parties where people didn't take their games that seriously. There were no streamers or e-culture.

Also this: youtube.com/watch?v=Y7EQaNlsEFs

It was the indisputable peak of the industry.

/thread

LAN parties are still a thing and they've actually even gained in the popularity in the last 2-or-so years, but, yeah, nowadays they're mostly about showing off your e-peen by showing off your custom PC build, instead of actually playing games well and together.

...no.
...stop.

late 90's/early 00's nostalgia is probably my favorite thing in life right now. everything feels so fucking inauthentic, and I don't just mean video games.

I liked this more

Gaming was better because I hadn't been introduced to "gamers" yet. The idea of meeting other people who shared my interest seemed so exciting at the time. Little did I know that the video game community is nothing but miserable degenerates who don't even like video games.

No change cause years later still no gf

ths is a boomer thread what's this shitty cringe zoomer video

just post the song on its own faggot

>The idea of meeting other people who shared my interest seemed so exciting at the time.
fucking this. I started meeting with a local group of anime fans when I was 13, started actively going to cons and shit. fell off when I was 17 or so and basically lost any interest of fandom of any kind around when I got to college. Those people still pop up randomly in various feeds and holy fuck most of them look like they have done absolutely nothing with their lives in the last 12-15 years.

now I actually avoid real-life discussions about shit I like because talking about them with anyone but anonymous fags hinders my own enjoyment of the thing.

>gay dad rock

I blame women and their enablers.

I miss when all games were playable in LAN without internet access, before steam ruined everything.

It was gay boi sk8er rock back then so it’s monogamous homosexuals dad rock today.

Wish I still had a nice CRT monitor.

It was ours those days, our nerd thing
nowadays it's theirs.... their "political" retardation

I'm just going to be honest. The explosion of gaming made me realize how much of a shitter I am. Winning whatever tournament at the local arcade or among friends wasn't shit. I am literally shit at everything I attempt in life and it was pretty demoralizing that I couldn't even keep "decent at video games". Now i have nothing.

13 consoles.
300 physical games. (274 completed).
No skill.

I'm sure someone can relate.

Before MMO ruined gaming in Korea, it was pretty soulful experience. Consoles were banned due to shitty relationship with nips so PC was the main gaming system. I used to play korean port of worm, bomberman and cs1.6, broodwar. Since PC cafe was so ubiquitous and cheap (like 50 cents per hour), online community was active all day.

Kek.

You guys are pathetic, watch this:

Maybe you should stop being such a scrub and git gud. Pick any game and actually commit to it.

What's a respectable game to dedicate your time too these days?

Almost anything of fighting genre.

Its almost like capitalism and greed corrputs everything it touches and you had the luck of experiencing videogames before they went to the normies.

Back to /pol/, landwhale tranny.

What's tumblr lettering, is it the new reddit spacing?

I don’t have a stance on 90s gaming why would anyone have a “stance” on an era of time like who gives any fucks?

>I don’t have a stance
So, you're brain-dead, got it.
