>>214090673
meds

video games no longer give me any dopamine hit

from 9-16 its all i cared about. i remember how exciting each no console was.

huge dropoff at 19 but i still played through college, now at 32 there is no video game i can even imagine myself enjoying

>>214090630 (OP)
The PS1 always felt more kinda warmer to me like with the graphics and the sound and design compared to more modern systems and games. Like the PS2 for instance kinda emulates that feeling with some games, but the system and some games just feel colder compared to the PS1. Just me?

we're closer to 2050 than the 90s

>>214090630 (OP)
le time... le passes?

>>214090806
well for one the ps2 was blue and black, had a those tech menus and more electronic sounding startup sound.

the ps1 was grey, had a colored logo and a warmer startup sound

as far as graphics goes, the need to stylize more lead to more pleasurable results in many cases, such as FFIX compared to FFX or FFXII, which in my opinion while still looking nice, due to their 3d background and higher fidelity characters aged worse in the long run than the toon characters and pre rendered backgrounds of FFIX.
Though it really heavily depend on the specific games

>>214090630 (OP)
ya but time passes slower when your parents only let you play thier bideo games
17 years ago im not even sure if i was playing age of empires 2 yet as my dad only had a copy of 1 lying around

>>214091043
Oh yeah I forgot that the PS2 is usually black. I have one of the few silver ones at home. But I agree that toony games age better. I just realised that again, after playing XIII on the PS2 again, which was basically a game in comic style. The graphics are stil pretty good for todays standards. Not competitive, but still pretty presentable. And the game is still preferable compared to the catastrophic remastered edition they released a few years ago. The one time I make a pre order, because "It's a rather unknown game, so the people who work on it will do it with passion and it won't be a money grab." and it ends up in a pile of shit. Well lesson learned.

we simply peaked, there's nowhere else to go, this is the top

>>214091626
This but year 5 of Genshin Impact
I've spent $45k as of this update

>>214091881
what is the benefit of spending money? do you unlock new characters or get hats or outfits for your characters? sorry I've never played genshin but that seems like a lot for one game.

>>214091659
You mean peak stagnation. Only another huge breakthrough like VR with omni directional walking could save gaming from this magnet tar pit trap. The haptic feedback suits can come later.

>>214091659
No we've just hit a temporary plateau.

>>214091626
This but also GTA games, we've had GTA V just getting re-released for 12 years now. We had GTA III, Vice City, San Andreas, the stories series and GTA IV all in a 8 year span.

>>214092215
You buy new characters, outfits, weapons, items, and can level up your existing characters if you get multiple draws of the same character. This is mostly though lootboxes though, so lots of repetitions

>>214093406
But $45k bro? On digital trash in a game? Really? You could buy just about every videogame ever made for that price.

>>214093439
I make about $400k per year and don't do anything with it (never had gf, no travel, I only have work clothes and then I go shirtless or wear an undershirt and the same gym shorts since middle school around the house)
My most valuable possession is easily my computer and I spend all my free time on Genshin directly or on YouTube - so why shouldn't I buy Genshin stuff to make my experience easier and buff my waifus

>>214093529
What a depressing way of living (assuming any of that is true).

>>214093545
I don't find it depressing, it's just my life. I have a studio in NYC, so it's nice to get out of work, get some ramen or Chinese food, and then head home to unwind and play Genshin for a couple hours. It's especially nice to play that game in particular because I can answer calls for work without quitting the game until I head to bed.

>>214093604
Do you actually work or is this "work" that was organized by your parents?

>>214093628
I am a developer manager in a company you've probably heard of for paying highly for people with comp sci degrees. My parents made me do nothing but study as a little kid and it made me end up here, but they didn't set it up

>>214093529
how tall and how old are you? Are you KHHV?

>>214090630 (OP)
still havent played ff7

>>214093529
gives me rich asian vibes. are you asian?

>>214093799
>Are you KHHV?
Do you really need to ask?

>>214093817
I will play it eventually. I just started playing Parasite Eve for PS1. Its fun. Completed Persona 1 and 2 last year.

>>214091626
if you were under 15 when RE4 came out you're not a millennial.

>>214093835
Yes that is why I asked.

>>214093799
5'8", 210 lbs. No, I was forced by a girl to have sex with her in high school
>>214093831
Yes

>>214093891
what emulator do you use?
i really wanna play koudelka but pcsx1 shat itself so i went to go play persona 3 and 4 instead

>>214093929
Chinese?
>>214093929
>I was forced
story time?

>>214093937
I'm currently playing PS1 games on a Mister FPGA connected to a CRT. I still have a PS1 console but the laser is starting to crap out.

>>214094033
>Mister FPGA
ive never heard of this before, looks pretty autistic but cool

>>214093947
I don't like to relive the trauma but essentially it was one of the popular girls who had it in her head that I liked her and forced me to go on dates with her and eventually one day she brought me to her house, made me drink alcohol, and then she forced herself on me
I cried the rest of the week and my parents wouldn't even let me stay home from school so I had to see her every single day
I haven't spoken to a girl romantically since

I was five

>>214094202
sorry to hear that. She was asian as well? I kind of wish I didn't complain about being forced to study so I would have gotten a high paying job like the rest.

>>214094329

>>214094374
sorry to hear that. men get overlooked when these things happen. we're supposed to "like it" and be "happy" it happened. unless butt stuff happened

>>214094164
Yeah, its a very niche thing. I ended up buying a Mister after learning there was a guy working on Sega Saturn support which is nearly complete. I hate buying old hardware since you have to eventually learn how to service old consoles that are crapping out due to age.

>>214090772
That's called growing up. I also used to love playing video games until I was around 15 but then lost interest.

>>214094585
kaere.
