I was born in 1988. Let me fix that for you.

I wonder if there are people that lived through the 90's but didn't play a early THPS game who thinks its just a meme.

>>muscle pain from gaming too long
this literally happened to me playing DMC3 last night. Being in your 30s is bullshit.

Born in 1991.

Just wanted to say I grew up with a Saturn and loved it dearly, NiGHTS into Dreams is still one of the greatest games ever made.

>>muscle pain from gaming too long
Nope
>>energy drinks give you the palpitations
No clue, I drink coffee a lot and don't get them.
>>get tired faster
Not really, but I'm also pretty active
>>games are shit now, 1998 forever
I don't have a shortage of good games to play now. The thing to remember is the number of games being released yearly has fucking BALLOONED, but there are still more good games released yearly than any "responsible" adult can play (if you're not a consolewar shitter).
>>The Saturn, now that was a console
Didn't own one until mid 2000s. Without having the 90s nostalgia to go with it, it was ok. I still prefer the PS1 and N64 to it.
>>Pokemon Peaked at Gold and Silver
It's certainly my favorite, but I'm willing to admit that diamond/pearl might be better.
>>Final Fantasy hasn't been good since the 20th century
XI, XII and XIV are all phenomenal to me. Can't stand VII and VIII. Love IX, IV and VI as well.
>>Zoomers are now the moral panic your parents were in the 90's
Possibly, no idea. I'm not one for moral panic personally.
>>you miss the 90's anime art style
No. It aged like dogshit. Current anime art style is miles better when it's not moeshit.
>>grain was better than ultra HD
Depends on the game, mostly ultra HD looks better on a crt than grain and grain looks like shit on modern displays.
>>Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 still the best game ever made
Fuck you and everyone that says this, THPS3 is better.

Getting old is so fucking awesome!!!

Don't worry user, most 30 year olds feel just as happy and healthy as those in their late 20's despite the creeping decline.

We're just horribly unlucky and instead of turning 30 we turned 80.

A year ago I could run a 10 minute mile and play basketball and all that shit. Now I can't hold a controller for an hour. Don't have a genetic autoimmune disorder if you can help it.

i think time will always pass us by and i think i've been on Yea Forums too long

How will I ever get a girlfriend at this point? I'm socially stunted from years of solitude. I have no appealing qualities or skills. All the girls of my age group are probably taken already and are losing attractiveness fast.

I just want someone to talk to about my feelings and be physically intimate with.

27 here, help me embrace that I'm going to be 30 years old soon.
I'm already feeling my libido going down and I'm being a bit more tired than usual from the same work.

Happens to every generation
I'm 30 and have nostalgia for jackass
I like video games:)

>muscle pain
1988 babby here

yall need to do some lifting and (occasional) cardio. I just did a medical study for money and the last physical check up, the doctor said "clean ekg and vitals like a newborn, very good".

I don't have any easy fix for "games are shit now", though. It's really difficult to stay positive and excited about video games when these days, work just kills my motivation.

Danny Phantom and Jackass were great. Never liked CoD though, was always more of a Halo 1-3 guy.

Love is not a crime.

Are you starting to consider a bugout bag and prepping? thats the first sign of boomerdom.

This is a fucking lie. I'm pretty fit and eat well. I started taking the gym seriously at 27, now I'm 32. You will still get muscle pain. I've been taking glucosamine to help my joints for two years now. Although some of that is probably related to my job, I work as a production manager in the film industry, so I do physical labor even when I'm in the office.

>It's really difficult to stay positive and excited about video games when these days, work just kills my motivation.
This is true.

I have this odd problem now where my right knee gets randomly wobbly. Anyone else get this? Its not sore exactly but it makes it difficult to walk. Its like I cant bend it properly.

Oh god. I swear its just because i watched Laid Back Camp!

"boomer" and "baby boomer" are the same thing, outside of your dumb meme.

I wish I had a boomer friend who would show me all of his favorite games.

I would just make you play snowboard Kids all the time

and I'm not going to be helped by some boomer giving generic meaningless npc peptalk phrases

Replaying old handheld games because handhelds were the backbone of my childhood and adolescence. That and picked up first Everquest not so long ago.

t. born 1991

I remember when dubstep and justin beiber we a huge thing i barely had any idea of. Thats when i stopped understanding what zoomers and the mainstream were talking about. At first it was a shock but then a nice comfort to be distanced from the inevitable source of our species' extinction.

So sit in your hovel and complain instead of doing the grunt work and sorting through 100 shitty internet dates to get what you said you want. Clearly you don't want it badly enough.

This is exactly what I was imagining.

Wow you sure educated us, everyone really thought boomers were born 30 years ago and aren't just having fun with a meme.

Energy drinks while gaming is shitty meme.

Time was every group of kids growing up had that surrogate older brother/uncle who taught you about shit, but nowadays everyone is afraid of everyone outside their door so stranger dangers make those guys pedophiles by default so they dont exist anymore.

The best time to change is yesterday, the next best is today. user, you already identified what's wrong with you, now you should be taking steps to address those problems.
Don't fret about girls/women your age getting taken because that's just not true. You can also date girls/women who are younger than you anyway.

>muscle pain from gaming too long

Since I got my first laptop in 2007 I've been lying on my left elbow 24/7, that elbow is now fucked up and the deformed cartilage presses on a nerve which results in half of my left hand feeling numb sometimes and pain most of the time. I still do it because its comfy as fuck

>muscle pain from gaming too long
No way, i can still play hours on end.
>energy drinks give you the palpitations
I just drink some white monster once in a while because of the meme, doesn't really do much to me.
>get tired faster
No, i can still stay awake until 6am and wake up a few hours later without any worries
>games are shit now, 1998 forever
Depends of the game, i'm still quite enjoying this hobby. Some gendre got worse, some got better, some died. It's all subjective.
>The Saturn, now that was a console
Yeah it was a great console, i'm glad i got to grow with sega consoles
>Pokemon Peaked at Gold and Silver
Dunno, i stopped at G/S because i didn't want more of the same.
>Final Fantasy hasn't been good since the 20th century
I never liked FF and most Square RPG, i just don't really get what people sees in them.
>Zoomers are now the moral panic your parents were in the 90's
No idea, i don't really care.
>you miss the 90's anime art style
Yes and no, i don't mind how it looks nowadays but i do appreciate the old classics.
>grain was better than ultra HD
Depends of the game, it's a pretty subjective opinion

I did get to play some snes and N64 games with one of my older cousins but that was a long time ago and it didn't happen too often.

How did you meet her?

I can't fucking wait for cold weather so i can settle down in a comfy hoody with a big pot of warm tea and snacks and shut out the world for another 4 months.

Please recycle and don't litter, it's all I want from my generation. It's not a hard thing to do. The West can learn a lot from Japans trash program and how strict it is, which it needs to be. Don't just toss your jars or cartons with food or liquid still in there, just take a minute to wash it out first, it's not hard at all. Some soap, hot water, do a nice shake and it's all out and clean. Also composting if your country has a program for that, the amount of food waste is staggering these days, atleast it can go to some use.

How old were they? I refuse to believe anything over 15.

2000's was the last decade I enjoyed, its like everything automatically became shit in 2010. I hate this entire fucking decade, the absolutely idiotic politics, nu-Yea Forums, stale fucking memes I was already tired of 9 years ago and the fact I will turn 40 this decade.

On the upside I have a comfy as fuck job, can only go forward with my career and will end up a mildly disappointed but ultimately not desperately unhappy old fuck in 2036 provided zoomer shits dont burn everything to the ground in the name of their tribal bullshit

Y-you t-too

I'm one month away from being 29, which for me is one year away from wizardom.

Played COD 2 not long ago for the fuck of it.
Still plays pretty good and looks fine on PC.

>embraced old games I missed out on
I’m so glad I kept all my old gaming magazines. It’s fun to flip through them, find something that looked cool but couldn’t afford 15 years ago, and downloading it 10 minutes later. Just proof that something fundamental has changed with modern games when a “new” old game is more fun than a new new game, and you know nostalgia has nothing to do with it.

I’m sorry I was born in 2000 user

I think you, me, and other fit people probably have a much easier time dealing muscle pain than people who don't exercise, though. But yeah, I take your meaning. It still happens. I just feel like I'm not as achey and fragile as most 30 year olds describe themselves as being.

>I just want someone to talk to about my feelings

If you do that with a SO then you're going to end up alone. Don't act like a woman. I know it sucks but that's just the way it is.

No! You will go to the corner and think about what you did.

The fact a lot of my time spent on my PS4 is playing HD Collections is proof of this.

I miss the mid 2000's. College girls were at their finest and I miss booting up my windows xp machine or playing melee in my dorm.

I'm playing FF8 again because its comfy, fuck the remaster tho

I have an 18 year old cousin who dropped out of college to be a fornite streamer.

He just bought a house and is marrying his girlfriend in Japan next year.

I have to say I dont recycle my trash. Its too much of a fucking hassle even though my dad who is over 70 does it but hes autistic about such shit. In return I never flew on an airplane, dont own a car because I live in a big city (I own a japanese sports motorcycle but the impact from how much I ride it is minuscule) so I guess I'm square with the environment. Invent a good lab grown steak that tastes as well as the real thing and I'll switch to that too.
