The year is 2004…

we all make mistakes

I'm playing Unreal Tournament 1999

That was the year my parents took me out of school and had me homeschooled as a kid and isolated from any outside world activities, consigning me to a lifetime of being a KHHV hikikomori unable to function in the outside world.

OH BOY! New Unreal Tournament is coming out soon!! I can't wait for years of enjoyment and fun. Surely Epic won't fuck up the best franchise they've made and abandon it mid life cycle. That Timmothy B. Sweeney sure know how to make a 12 year old feel like a man.

I was playing either X-Com or Rainbow Six Rogue Spear on a PS1 or that I had just recently rented out from a local videoshop.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

Just came back from watching Spider-Man 2 what a fuckin mess.

>Unreal Tournament 2004 and Neverwinter Nights RP Servers
>Alone in my room with my guitar in my lap
>Alone at the skatepark for hours every day

Kind of just depresses me. I miss gaming in that era. Never had many friends though and that never changed. Wistful memories. Not bad ones.

In the UK. Had a half day at school, so went home at 12, stopped in the chippy for dinner, cheesy chip was 80p. Can of coke was 40p, most single chocolate bars were 20-25p. Stopped in at the supermarket to browse their Xbox games, used the £20 granny gave me for mowing the lawn to buy Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow because my friend said it was good, went home and spent the rest of the afternoon and evening playing it. Life was fucking great.

gonna ask my homies over aim if they want to play wc3, cod, or bf42

shout out to my cs:s partyvan niggas

If we're nostalgia posting, can anyone help me find this old video? It had touhou music and a baseball pitcher and the villain lady from Higurashi spinning in circles.

Jesus, just reminded me of this crap. My dad did the same thing and the only games he got me were Dogz 4 and (I think) a game Top Gun. Also this learning soft series of games where you go through a 3D museum, and another one where you can explore a 17th century galleon. Wish I remembered the name of these barely video games.

AH SEHR GUT

Back when PC gaming was SOUL. Even the LED is tasteful.

it's not led (which is why it looks nice)

Monitors still have actual black color.
IRC is still alive and kicking.
Booze and smokes are actually cheap.
Vidya is still on CDs.
AVP2, Q3 and UT99 all fucking night long.

I want a 2000s sleeper rig so bad.

the year is 1998, I've gotten aiyered by Ed Truck, best boss I've ever seen, we got drunk on pine and apple, classic flavour because I don't like noveltees, then we hopped onto a man, which we found out it was a woman, he filled her womb, took a drive home, the land suddenly disapeared, we were in a pool of legos, that's how it was 1998, the year of 1998

I've been thinking about how much I am becoming separated from the young "crowd". Kids nowadays live in a world that is completely different from mine. Everything I evaluate and understand, I see through the prism of my experience. When I look at things, I can't help but remember things modern kids can't even imagine. We live in two different realities. I guess that's what it truly means to grow older. You can try to stay in touch with current things as much as you want, but it's impossible to separate yourself from your own experience.
It also brings about some true nostalgic melancholy. The old world was fucking comfy, and I enjoyed it, but now it's gone, and I can't do anything about it. There's no fairness in this, but that's how it is. It makes me think about two things. First, maybe Buddhism has a point, about life being suffering. And second, I wonder if our distant ancestors had to deal with this, as they at least had the pleasure of living in a largely static world, not required to push themselves into "the future" regardless of their desire to do so. Maybe we as a species haven't evolved to deal with such sudden change.
