old zoomers, (born before 2001) how you holding up? Sometimes I feel like our generation is irrelevant, and that even gen alpha is having more influence on the internet now.

>>507328817 (OP)
>old zoomers
They freaks out if you call them zoomers and insist that they’re millennials every time

Are late 90s considered zoomers or millennials? Anyways, I got fucked over by convid and am just graduating university at practically 30. I want to kill myself every day.

>>507328978

Gears... Halo... GTA 4... Xbox 360 launch dashboard... Home...
I'm doing quite well in most respects however covid fucked over my social life hardcore.

>>507329096
95+ is generally considered zoomer. I was born in 99.

>>507328817 (OP)
97 here. That meme is wildly accurate. I’m not doing great, every career path I’ve tried is a dead end. Recently broke up with a girl I was with for a few years and I’m living at home again. Also want to kill myself but too pussy to do it. Have no idea what to do now. And to the anon above, no one wants to be a fucking millennial. Millennials are the gayest generation, the boomers of their time. Voted king nigger into office and started the chain of events that led to things being the way they are now.

>>507328817 (OP)
well yeah, there're physically fewer of you

>>507329096
Zoollenials. Funnily enough in your age group the amount of fur fags is over proportionally high

>>507328817 (OP)
decent. shit going pretty good
>99 zoomie

2004 here, I vividly remember and I experienced most of those things when they were still relevant
>how you holding up?
uni, then job (cybersecurity), khv incel
could be worse, not complaining, fuck boomers
>Sometimes I feel like our generation is irrelevant
uh yeah because you inherited a shitty nigger gay world to live in
>even gen alpha is having more influence on the internet now
not really, depends on which parts of internet, I don't use tiktok and none of that kind of shit so I'm not aware of that
most online communities are still like 18-25 with outliers
>>507329096
>am just graduating university at practically 30
it's ok anon, if you think it will help you then it's never too late for that
just do your thing and try to get the best scores in class, the rest is irrelevant
>I want to kill myself every day.
this is not ok
did you check your test levels lately?

>>507329573
Is it?
So when did alpha begin in your estimation?
I feel like that's way too old for zoomers.
By that scale we'd be past the beta gen at this point almost.

>>507328817 (OP)
This image perfectly encapsulates why all of society must collapse and faggots like you with your shit tastes need to be hunted down. Fuck zoomers to death.

>>507329937
99 is the cut off for zoomies. Gen alpha is 2000+

>>507328817 (OP)
I love Ye and Im a zoomer, everyone wears Yeezys here now

>>507330316
not really. a generation is 18 years. Alpha starts around 2011/13ish

>>507330316
What? They're called millennials because they were coming of age around the new millennium, the year 2000.
The image is dumb too, for example the gamecube came out in 2001, it wasn't made for zoomers. Maybe they played on their wii but they weren't even old enough to enjoy until like 2010.

>>507328817 (OP)
Nothing in this image is culture, it’s all products

>>507330736
OK. youre wrong. I grew up with the GameCube playing sonic dx as a kid. and a ps2. and a wii. and a xbox. born in 99, so how was it possible an 8 year old could play video games?
>>507330691
irrelevant. 95 to 99 is zoomies. or are you the kind of person to say 99- 2015 is the cutoff, which is stupid.

>>507330691
Although I don't think it's a set rule, i feel like it depends on what's going on culturally at the time and how connected people are. There is more of a distinct cutoff between gen x and millennials. But the millennial and z line is more blurred with a lot of cross over.

>>507331179
Irrelevant, a kid today could grow up with only a snes, just because you played old games doesn't really mean much. You are in between the millennial and zoomer gen.
5 years isn't long enough for a generation.
What's the current gen according to you?

>>507330916
That’s 50s and 90s 90 iq

2001 are older zoomers. 1997 is the start and 2012 is the end.

>>507330316
retard

>>507330736
You are being retarded. I was beating games at 5-6 years old and was introduced to them around the age of 3. The oldest zoomers (1997-2001) absofuckinglutely grew up with a Gamecube or a PS2 and they didn't wait until 2010 to play the Wii. They could play it at launch. You guys don't know what you're talking about and have a poor scope of child development if you think it takes until the age of 8-13 to be able to play video games, let alone be good at or beat them. You also think they can only be enjoyed the moment they came out. I was playing Gamecube primarily 2006-2008. That doesn't count especially when the thing was still printing new games and a lot of people hadn't moved on from the thing yet and were mad when Nintendo cut support early?

>>507329096
I dropped out cause my degree (Computer Science) was useless (I am 29).

How is gamecube and gba sp zoomer? Everything after that makes sense. Obviously there'll be some exceptions because some of you are poor white trash and your families made you use old consoles.

>>507328817 (OP)
I was born in 1989 and most of those things appealed to my age bracket growing up.

Every generation goes through this but I get what you mean. It feels like time is speeding up, the "American dream" seems fake, and I feel like I'm slowly morphing into a chud with each passing day. NGMI.

Gamecube lifespan (2001-2007)

Zoomers
1997 - 4 at launch, old enough to play it throughout it's entire lifespan
1998 - 3 at launch, will have experienced most of its lifespan
1999 - 2 at launch, if you start playing games around 4-5 someone born here would have definitely experienced 6th gen
2000 - only 1 at launch, but would have very likely started on gamecube and formed a lot of their strongest memories and experiences with gaming here
2001 - born at launch, gamecube would have likely been one of their first consoles laying around in the house. experienced it primarily at the end of its lifespan but formed very important memories with them

I'll say 2002-2003-2004 also probably had gamecubes laying around. Gamecube is 100% a Zillennial console in that it is a shared experience between zoomers and millennials.

>>507332988
You were 18 when most of the shit on the list came out and for the stuff you weren't, you were definitely older than the main age bracket it was made for.

2000, not very well, constant pain due to an accident, unable to finish my degree due to finances and can’t get an internship despite getting straight A’s. Currently I’m a truck driver and haven’t been laid in a little over a year. I don’t like my life, I have a few friends but nothing to really exist or struggle for, but I wouldn’t kill myself either.

>>507333124
Have you ever heard of Zillennials? It's a label for people who are late millennials/early zoomers or are on the cusp of both generations. A zoomer born in 2001 is not the same as a zoomer born in 2011. Same with a millennial born in 1985 vs 1995.

>’97
go ahead and datamine my ip i dont give a shit.
gen A is gonna be ok. a lot of younger gen Z is gonna be okay (well not the dudes getting drafted but yeah). unless they roll out some sci fi shit that can literally mindcontrol us, gen Z and A are the first to grow up entirely with tech and that can be good and bad. if i glance at a AI video, i can fall for it now. younger people (or people who give a shit and actually look) will still be able to pick that out i think.

>>507329096
University is a meme
Fuck boomers for saying working at 14 was le bad

>>507333124
Nobody thinks that 99 is a millennial. I have no memory of that time.
>>507333352
>Currently I’m a truck driver and haven’t been laid in a little over a year.
I am 26 and have never gotten laid. Sometimes I think it is fort he best, because some of you guys complaining about not having sex for a year sound like starved and desperate. One guy I talked to was whining about his wife being away and not having sex for a month.
>>507333567
I was born in 99 and I remember playing GTA San Andreas in some internet cafe in 2005/2006 or so. My childhood was not very tech heavy.

>>507328817 (OP)
>influence on the internet
I remember a time where the internet was just a place for fun and reading something up on Google (Millennial born 1992).

>>507332643
Faggot you are just agreeing with me. Maybe the oldest zoomers were playing GC games at an early age but so what?
Emulation is more popular than ever, will all the kids today ignoring trash modern games and playing Playstation and sega games mean that those consoles are part of their generation? If so video game consoles are a shit metric to base a generation on.
Honestly you sound like a coping zoomer, clawing desperately to grab onto something that wasn't trash. Can't blame you.

>>507330736
see there’s also the rest of the world only now joining in on this “generational labelling”, which leaves many people in for example eastern europe not understanding where the lines lay. baby boomers comes from post world war pregnancy boom for example, but many people in the world 10-20 years old now would have gotten 90s stuff rerunning on TV well into the 2010s. i remember the 70s hannah barbera stuff like classic scooby doo playing on local TV around 2010. fresh prince reruns. newer stuff you either couldnt afford or simply had a later release date than US or Japan. what i mean is culturally a lot of people may identify with a “prior” generation via media because older media or tech, like consoles coming to poorer areas later by a number of years. i used to live in an area not 10 years ago where internet wasnt even that wide spread. unlimited 3G mobile data? wow rich boy over here.

>>507334093
Oldest zoomers are zoomers too and they grew up with the gamecube and other 6th gen consoles. You cannot say they don't count. It's like saying millennials don't count for the gamecube because only late millennials really hold some nostalgic reverence for it whereas the rest prefer SNES, N64, or NES. That's why it's a zillennial thing.

>>507329096
90s should be zillenials. Too young for Millenial to o old for Zoomer.

>>507334289
Early 90s are definitely millennials.

>>507329096
Bro, I am a unemployed, high-school dropout at 33. Not to denigrate your own suffering. It is still valid and it sucks. Just putting it into perspective.

>>507332694
CS degree isn't useless man. Even having the paper from a horrible school is enough for you to get some business analyst job with a little self study. From a good school a CS degree is extremely valuable.

>>507334289
its like this
>you you remember watching 9/11 as a kid, millennial
>I you were barely in diapers when it happened, zoomer.

>>507333676
I could see how that comes off as desperate and it does indeed suck psychologically to go from often to none, but I also have 0 desire to interact with women of our peer group (or any other) anymore, we have seemingly nothing in common and romance never ends well.

>>507334173
True, the internet and technology has changed a lot when it comes to generational labeling. Current methods and meanings will probably have to be modified in some way.
>>507334173
True, i agree and I've said as much in the thread. Perhaps I was being a little extreme with my 2010 comment. It was more of an insult I guess.
God damned zoomers. *shakes fist*

>>507334598
See I thought Millenial meant turn of the century not 9/11.

>>507334763
So it really is just an insecurity thing of knowing some zoomers grew up with the same thing you had, like a weird generational sibling rivalry?

>>507334763

ps3 was peak console gaming. After they added the subscription mechanism for playing online everything went to shit.

>>507328817 (OP)
Holy shit, foster home for imaginary friends. I haven't seen that since I was a little kid.
One thing the meme got wrong is that my first call of duty games weren't online, I started with finest hour then got big red one, then cod 3, then cod 4 came out and the entire franchise changed and started focusing on online gameplay rather than the storylines.
1997.

>>507334793
9/11 was part of the turing of the century. to the point,
>millennials were old enought to watch it and potentially join the army
>zoomers were the ones writing the letters to soldiers in iraq in elementary school.
I asked how many they killed. you were supposed to ask tho. lol.

>>507328978
Other way around in my experience.
"Nah we're not millennials we never even got to have hopes and dreams"
1992-2001 is a fucked up in-between generation.

>>507330736
No man, the GameCube was my second console and Luigi's Mansion remains one of my favorite games of all time. The N64 was my first console and it was that one that I was too young to really get it, I just kind of ran around on SM64 and Zelda: Majora's Mask doing random shit.

>>507334853
millennials are like the early 2000's older brother stereotype.

>>507334997
I halo 3 at midnight with the bros, we had three 360s setup and ready to play. That night one of them got the red ring of death right when we started up the game. I laid my head on it like a pillow and whispered sweet words to the machine and by a divine miracle it worked.
>>507334853
More of a disgust really. It's one thing to associate with a fellow gamecube enjoyer but then I'm broccoli hair and tiktok adjacent. Know what i mean?
Now if you played pso then alls forgotten and I kneel.

>>507335302
Yeah kinda like that, I don't really hate you but I can't be too soft you know?

>>507335441
the red ring of death is actually very interesting but i’ll derail the thread with nerd shit

>>507335441
I remember playing it on Christmas with my brother and my dad. shit was fire. then my cousin got waw and that was just the hypest shit in the world.

>>507335441
Remember to take turns with your little brother. He wants to play too.

>>507335024
>ps3 was peak console gaming. After they added the subscription mechanism for playing online everything went to shit.
I had both a 360 and PS3 and switched to PS3 eventually because the online was free. When they announced that PS4 would charge for online, this was basically when I gave up console gaming and switched to PC. Fuck microsoft btw.

>>507335493
as someone who actually grew up with brothers, I know why. pigheaded, but wont let you starve either. but they would beat the shit out of you.
>ever play roshambo?

I can't stand most zoomers. They are like wokeness personified. They don't drink. They don't drive. They don't have sex. They have therapy. They have pills. They have gay sex

Which one is it, grandpa?

>>507335733
yeah thats it but the why was interesting. i had forgotten they were the “new kid” to gaming. they were selling the (OG) xbox at a loss and figured lets do that but ramp up production too. even with a crazy fail rate the console still sold but now i look like a MS consolewarrior. dont tell /v/

>>507334236
I'm smack in the middle of millennial (89) and Gamecube is way more nostalgic for me even though I had a 64

>>507335024
ps3 was amazing other than the multi-platform titles and launch price

>>507334793
Technically the first year of the 21st century was 2001, so...

>>507328817 (OP)
Based thread.

Born smack bang at the end of '98. I only really enjoyed the 2000s and early 2010s. After about 2014ish everything just went to shit.

Managed to avoid uni at the cost of not being around women nearly as much as I needed. But in exchange, never been in debt, lived on my own all my adult life and just about to head over to Japan to flee the normalfag culture here. My only real problem is that I've never had a gf, cause I had to move around often and it just never happened. Dating apps and men and women discourse fuck it up too.

Seems everyone wants me to become a wigger, passport bro or some other zoomer stereotype. I've always continued to be a normal person from the 2000s.

>>507335123
COD 1 was online on PC.
COD 2 had Xbox Live support for the 360 re-release.
I think the best CoD campaigns were when the series had gone mostly multiplayer anyway. World At War, Black Ops 1, CoD 4 and MW2 were all great.
If you haven't, try Black Ops Cold War's campaign, it was cool.

>>507330316
Nah, I just found this girl on the internet. Probably born 2005 and still very similar to me born in 97.

I think zoomers are 97 - 08. And 97 is practically millennial. I swear I was born just a few years too early. I always got along much better with younger people than people my age or above.

>>507336487
youre basically a zolennial. weirdly, I get along great with older generations. im very hit or miss with people my age.

>>507336203
Hang in there. Life can be quite unpredictable.

The cut off for zoomers is at 2005-2006. Basically if you had an iphone by 10 yrs old and heard of instagram you are a zoomer. I consider up to 2003 as zilennial.
I am from 1999, i grew up with .swf , flash games and the only social media in my youth were myspace and facebook, there was no shitty tiktok or instagram. Those were after 2015 more popular when the internet oficially began going to shit.
If you are a zoomer and heard of myspace or yahoo messenger you are also a milennial. It s that part from 99 to 03 which is the border.

>>507336407
I think they had the option but until I got a 360 I didn't play online.
I still think big red one had the best storyline but that's just me. MW2 was pretty good though, and so was BO2.
The last COD game I bought was Ghosts, and then I stopped because I could see the writing on the wall for where it was headed. BO2 in my opinion was the last fun COD.
These days I usually just play HLL or shit like Amnesia, but I don't play video games as much as I used to anymore. My Xbox just serves as my TV most of the time.

Oh and also used newgrounds since the age of 7. I also watched older popular movies back then which aired in my zone. last action hero would be a title for example. Many movies with Schwarzenegger or hulk hogan around that time 00-10

>>507332874
i played that as a zoomer for some reason

>>507336487
The retarded traditional jarhead haircut zoomers start at 2005 probably. I hate getting lumped with them. I hated that haircut even before it was popular.
Up to 2001 is zilennial. Otherwise you d have to consider bieber a zoomie too.

>>507337258
Remember Moviefather?

>>507328817 (OP)
Yeah this is pretty accurate to describe Zillennials.
>Can't remember 9/11 but vaguely remember the world before it, but I definitely remember the world before smartphones and the blackberry.

>>507336375
Yes everything s gone to shit after 2015, when they used media as political playground. Even the music became shittier. Perhaps because of the mobile phones or not, the thing is it happened.

>>507333520
95 to 98 didn't fully get to experience the world before the internet/social media but they have enough of a concrete memory of how things were before that point - I tend to put that as a defining characteristic of zillennials.

>>507337503
No, i didnt use that site. But perhaps i ve used equivalent versions named differently.

Zoomers and Millenials are the first generations in all of humanity to be raised on the internet. They're practically identical to anyone who was not. Dont let millenials bust on you too hard little zoomies, just ask them about their myspace phase.

I miss the 360, it was the peak of online gaming. No other system has had that much soul since.

>>507337599
I dont know how was there in the west but up to 2012- 2013 nobody in my class wasted too much time on the phone at school because they were limited, those werent smartphones, they usually had conversations annoying the teachers, they didnt play on phone often.

No, zoomers and zoomettes were brainfucked so hard that all they can do is cry out for internet censorship.

also we are zillenials nigger, not zoomers.

>>507328978
the real zoomers are the ones born after the 2000's

>>507337853
360 era was kino, cod4, battfield bad company 2, gta 4, l4d 1+2, just so many great ass games came out around then

>>507337586
>even the music became shittier
"Craft beer, tattoo here, fun at the partay
Beards, live laugh and love, stomp clap hey"
It sickened me from the moment I heard it.
I'm a musician myself and dove headlong into the 70s and 80s, a bit of the 90s, back in 2007.
The songwriting was so fucking different last century, but I'm sure tonnes of tunes were shit and simply didn't get recorded.
Any monkey with a computer can spend $50 on headphones, $110 on a Focusrite Scarlet, and record literally anything he writes and slap it on SoundCloud these days.
Consequently, the qualitative signal to noise ratio is much worse than it was in 1984.
Just go through the UK charts on youtube, those don't even include a lot of the good stuff but 1984 was banger after banger after banger anyway.
There isn't a song on the charts of today that's any good.

>>507331179
sonic dx was my gateway drug into being a sonicfag.

>>507336981
If you never heard of flash player, then you are a classic zoomer or someone inexperienced with tech.
Flash games are the hallmark of that period of internet 2000-2015. They began to be discarded because of the mobile kikes wanting to sell their shitty games ( or applications this is how they love to call them, apps) which had less quality than the ones who were hosted for free on the internet. Finally killing it in 2020. Then you pay 5 euros for some shit that was for free on the internet 15 yrs ago. Lol.
This doesnt mean they killed completely but you d need a PC for that and a flash emulator. I still play my favorite flash games time to time.

>>507337415
I do consider beiber a zoomer. I think you're just a poorfag who didn't have access to this kind of stuff as quickly as an American.

Beiber literally started his career on youtube. The old youtube, with star rating systems and =3.

>>507337689
It was the shit in its day. People would sneak cameras in to the theaters and record shit then put it on the website so that's how I watched new movies. They had older movies too. I watched Starship Troopers 2 and 3 on it. They suck, by the way. Only the first one is good.

Facebook mentally fucked people so bad, I remember when it became popular when I was in highschool, that was the beginning of the mindrape. Still have the dm of some chick in my class telling me she's naked, and that I should come over.... and I didn't get the message.

I'm nostalgic for old adventure time, when it was still good, and not just some tumblr slop, I know it always had some tumblr holds up spork humor to it but it really got unwatchable in the later seasons

>>507337415
the retarded haircuts started with early 2000 zoomies

>>507334289
>>507334367
Zillenials or the border starts at 96-97 to 03-04 depending in region. The interval may be even smaller.

>>507338578
I can't believe they are still rocking the same haircuts, they have been for atleast 5 years, should it be out of style by now?

>>507337258
NEWGROUNDS!! that’s some old school shit to me. the “thing-thing” games were awesome and so was that flash game and animation series Madness. shit was soo cool

>>507338424
>People would sneak cameras in to the theaters and record shit
The best ones were those shot directly from the projector room. Man were there a lot of shit quality early releases. RIP the old kino.to, you were breddy gud.

real niggas know newgrounds had to support castle crashers, and alien hominid when they made it off the platform.

also that newgrounds animation of kim possible sucking cock was probably the first depiction of “blowjob” i ever saw. i think it was originally from newgrounds anyway

>>507338630
idk but i'm 2000's but never had it but i could tell it started with our generation mainly the younger zoomies just imitate us

>>507338643
My nigger, tankmen was also good shit

>>507338702
i remember the alien hominid demo on the 360, i thought it was so cool “a guy” from newgrounds made it to an “official” game store

I remember a game where you could dress up a ragdoll in a teletubby outfit, and beat the shit out of it, that was good.

95 here. Old enough to have been lurking on Newgrounds and 4chan in 04 while playing Diablo II, Starcraft custom maps, classic WoW, Adventurequest, and Age of Mythology, but not really old enough to truly savor it. In the same career and romance hell the late zoomers are in as well

After 2014 they killed EDM and replaced it with retarded hiphop rap whatever that shit was called having a downbeat tempo and annoying sounds in the background. Every pop music after 2014 has this idiocy.
It s interesting how edm was famous for a short period of time 2011-2014.

I'm 28 and have started working recently in a decent-paying job that'll last for at least 9 months. Trying to save up with my Latina GF who I've been with for over five years, who's also just started working.

>>507338888
holy fuck you found 4chan early, 96 here, found it in 2010.

>>507338578
like the short overly-gelled trend of late 90s early 2k was so much better. i fucking hates gell, felt like actual glue in your hair. and the gay ass spikes and faux haks teenagers would do. it looked like dried cum shot sometimes, cringe

>>507338348
I was browsing youtube in 2008 had a much nicer interface.

Yep. Sometimes you sat there waiting for it to load for 20, sometimes more, minutes and then there was a fat guy in the way for the whole movie. It's funny now but at the time that used to piss me off.

>95+ is generally considered zoomer
Retarded take, I was always called a millenial growing up the word zoomer wasnt even thing yet. I think the real definition should be if you remember the world before 9-11. Growing up on the wild west internet vs the dead corpo shit we have now

>>507328978
Because we were? "Zoomer" was never a fucking thing until it was invented here kek. Born in 1996 and I never thought of myself as anything other than a millennial my entire life. I'm old enough to remember times before the iphone dominated society

>>507338578
Probably i d say that s more of a political haircut, only military men had that haircut , it was famous for that time due to afghanistan war this is why there s a movie called jarheads but got popular only after 2015. Nobody in my class had that haircut up to 2013.

>>507339080
it was heaven, the gayness was after that.

(((Generations))) are just astrology but for marketing to the npc. Everyone would stop arguing and would generally agree on things if they looked at the arbitrary progression of Pluto or whatever

>Millennials = Scorpio 1984-1995. Psy-op’t by boomers, sex obsessed
>Zoomers = Sagittarius 1996-2008. Meaning crisis, lazy, hobo-worship
>Alphas = Capricorn 2008-2020. Prob gonna be more conservative, most fucked up yet, but some will probably outwork and out compete zoomers soon. Side-hustlers to a lethal fault.

>should be if you remember the world before 9-11

This was a retarded cutoff too. People didn't use the dust bowl deaths to define the generation of the 1930s lol. What defines zoomers vs our generation is the rapid succession of tech. The iphone is the clear cut generation divider of late millennials and early zoomers vs the true zoomers born after 2004

>>507339438
man im looking up a few wikis but i cant find if that guy ever did any more. same with that not-vice-city game in the south park art style, i wonder if he ever finished the story.

>>507339316
I knew about 4ch since 2011 through encyclopedia dramatica but only made the first post in late 2015. I honestly came here because of the over censorship of the internet. Too many retards reporting you for simple jokes, you had to dump all that rage somewhere...

>>507337599
If you were born in 95 to 98 you were born into a world with the internet being a thing. Social media is a bit more fuzzy. I was born in 2001 and the vast majority of my childhood, social media was not as big of a deal until around the early 2010s and I did have VHS and all that.

>>507328817 (OP)
Not feeling any better about the 2003 bracket, to be honest. I don't look forward anymore, I only look towards the past I missed out on for inspiration. It's like a dark age.

>>507339469
Which is why I prefer wild west internet. Zoomers didnt play runescape or club penguin or everquest

Deadpool gets a pass for being goofy, you moght haye the movie or character, but thats at least what you expect. The rest of those movies do not for trying to shamelessly trend-chase and copy it.

>>507337134
Cold War was a miracle, it had great single player and multiplayer. Infinite Warfare had an alright campaign. The rest sucked. MW2019 had great multiplayer. Lately the games are terrible.

>>507339720
Loved it, that why I chimp out every time I hear a zoomer calling for internet censorhip, it was a great time.

>>507339469
Yes the iphone is the clear divide. And also if you used a PC or not. Between milennials and zilennials is which version of windows they used. Milennials first should have had '98 then zilennials XP or vista to win7

>”dude you got the eminem album early? bluetooth me that shit, we can try leave it transfer overnight”
>mfw listening to shit quality mp3 and wav files on a tinny flip phone speaker

>>507337586
People say this but I think the 2000s sucked if you were an adult in the USA. You had 9/11, Iraq, Afghanistan, and then the 2008 crash. I wasn't an adult so I forget about it sometime but you can ignore the stupid 2015 political shit, you couldn't ignore the economy imploding.

>>507339230
Zoomer wasnt invented "gen z" was already a thing it became zoomer as a joke on "boomer".

>>507339166
Idk as someone born in the zoomlennial time period I think there is a distinct difference between us and millenials because millenials didnt grow up with wild west internet they grew up when the internet was barely used by normal people and was mostly assorted informational webpages. Most importantly social media didnt exist until they were adults. But if you were born 1995-1999 then youre at the perfect age to have grown up playing online games and posting in forums, and then started using social media right when it blew up in the early 2010s in high school. Zoomlennials have a distinct edginess and grittiness that millenials do not have, millenials are the generation who started getting comedians canceled for edgy jokes, but zoomlennials yearn for edgy jokes. I think we're our own distinct generation from a very small time period, the boom of something as important as the internet was our childhood and I think thats pretty amazing.

>>507339955
Here in my country the prices for real estates was much much lower in the 00s than it is today. If you had a chance to buy anything it was in 1990 to 2015

>>507339957
nah man, true wild west internet was late 90s. you have no idea.

>>507340117
That's a good point. I remember people buying houses & retiring on laborer jobs as a kid and I can barely do that today as an engineer. Romania probably didn't have to worry about 9/11 and wars either.

>>507339957
best way i can describe this, ironically, is via two videogames. in gta 4 and 5 story mode there’s constant digs at “hipsters” - by the time gta 5 was “fully” out in 2014 / 2015 who the fuck gave a shit or even knew what a hipster was anymore? myspace blogging, early adopters of the internet, early to mid 20s in the early 2000s. the cast of watch dogs 2 visually appear like they’re mid 20s to late 30 and act like QUIRKY INTERNET PEOPLE, what i mean is this “woah internet NEW and HIP” attitude you uniquely got from this era. the ones that were becoming 20 or had “early access” to the internet grew up more casual about it. i juuust remember when “internet dating” was typically seen as something bottom of the barrel fucking losers had to resort to. look at it now.

>>507340264
Sort of, but this country still felt the effects of the 2008 crisis afaik.

that were becoming adults after 2010* i meant

>>507339774
I might have to look into it.
>Lately the games are terrible
Lately 99% of games are terrible, that's why I don't play much anymore. HLL kicks ass and thats more than I can say for any other FPS of this decade.
I wish I could wipe my memory of Skyrim so I could play it and have everything be new again.

>>507340236
I just loved when i could have said nigger or call someone retarded and nobody gave a shit or reported me in a game or forum. Yeah that was the time. Why the fuck so much censorship, are they literally retarded and cant handle a few jokes? Lol.

>>507340603
bruh grown men said they would come to my house and rape me on xbl when I was a squeaker, and no one cared. If I said something like that today, well... pretty sure I'd get a knock on my door.

Oh and let s not forget about xat chat rooms. I used them extensively in the 2010 to 2013. They were flash based too.

I've noticed I feel like Rip Van Winkle every time I go back here to check on things when shit goes down. Born 2k but everyone seems to be retarded and take bait or never checks shit themselves or falls into very obviously retarded takes. Started browsing for real around 2013-2014. Personally I'm...doing fine? I fucking hate grad school but I'm set to make big money afterwards. Socially, it's very easy to get a whole lot of people to agree with you if frame things a certain way. Everyone agrees there is rot but you have to logically lead them to why there's the rot, you can't just immediately spill your spaghetti on jews or niggers or whatever. Ironically, I really started getting people who 'd agree with me on that shit at work RIGHT after I graduated college. Also just saying: I really do believe you have to have stable ground for yourself before you start helping others, it's part of why I'm going as far as I am

>>507328817 (OP)

Facts this is how me and my friends are, we have the downsides millenials (most are filthy liberal bleeding heart types) and zoomers (completely socially inept with no job prospects)
>>507339166
Speak for yourself, I was born in '01 and witnessed the decline in the internet as I grew up.

The older I got the worse google search got, the more boring and sanitized the internet got.

I also remember starting with those big box tvs that had a lot of static on the screen when you felt them.

I witnessed technology become smaller, faster, but absolutely annoying to use and ad filled.

>>507340698
If you re in germany or GB yes, they would come for you lol. Even if you call a fat politician fat, that s a high insult to them too.

It was my first console, my favorite game of all time will always be pokemon XD gale of darkness.

I am not white or poor either, its just a solid console dude.

Been smoking a lot of weed lately

Kek, my family was pretty poor. I didn't really realize it until I noticed the consoles we had were like a few years old before we got them.

>>507338128
>The songwriting was so fucking different last century, but I'm sure tonnes of tunes were shit and simply didn't get recorded.
they had garage rock in the 60s and punk was a major DIY force in the 80s. Music is just more accessible now. You sound like one of those hair metal bands complaining about grunge because they arent technically proficient.
>but I worked so hard on this 3 minute guitar solo packed into a 6 minute song!

>>507340815
Oh yes, the tech or the internet is much faster the only thing I like at it now, but the interface and quality is pure shit. Evey site now has this retarded flat design with an image fitting an entire screen or a paragraph on an entire page, instead of skeuomorphic ui design with more paragraphs fitting in a page with a text size of 8-9 verdana or tahoma font instead of font size 18

>>507340981
There are people in Indonesia who live in villages with no electricity and go out every morning to catch fish so their family can eat... but yeah you're so poor for having old gaming consoles

You are wearing rose tinted glasses, all the gay stuff you hate started before the '00s even began, a lot just had yet to reach the big screen.

Iron man was a messy drunk and womanizer for a long time before rdj played him.

Honestly post-70s you can see the faggification of the west in real time.

>>507340981
Yeah about the consoles, if you ever played mario on Atari you are a zilennial or older. I used to play the flash or java variant of it too, but required an emulator it was on mofunzone.

>>507341094
why are you being dramatic nigger, that dude had a point it muddies what generation you are from if you were using last gen shit because your family were brokies. God you sound like an assblasted faggot.

They were actively protecting pedos and retards, it was in 2012 2013

Or Genesis for that matter.
You can be technically interesting without having a 6-stringed wank.

You raise a good point though.
They had different subcultures then.
Now it's all the same.
Everyone looks the same, plays the same, sounds the same.
They use the same VSTs with the same overcompressed EQ because that's what their favourite (unsuccessful) young youtuber says to use "or else your mix just fucking sucks bro nobody's gonna listen to your work", projecting their own insecurities onto everyone else.
35 years ago nobody gave a shit, go do what you want, the crowd will find you. Reading up on it and hearing the stories from people who were there, that was the general impression back then. Today it's not.

>1992
Virtually all of your core childhood memories were before 95% of this list. Someone born in 1997-2001 is more likely to get something out of the majority of it. Trolls World Tour? That's a 2020 movie. You're thinking of Gen Alpha at that point.

The only shit on this list that existed in 2002 is the Gamecube and SA2B. And Family Guy. Undertale came out in 2015 (you'd be 23) and I do not consider that to be a childhood thing at all (born in 2001) .

I don't know why millennials do this

>>507341918

You zoomers fucked up bigly. You didn't rebel against your parents throwing a phone in your hand as an infant. You didn't keep your eyes off the TV for a second to go play outside. I've witnessed all of this over and over with every family raising zoom zooms without fail. You let the Jew in your school, in your hand, on the magical light box dictate the way you think without ever doing the thinking yourselves. You became niggers willingly because you were brainwashed and there's no going back. MKULTRA and it's goals are real. Magic is real. Brainwashing and hypnotism is real and boomers were the first to suffer the consequences because they did the exact same thing when TV's were introduced to every household. It's no wonder you guys are just them with a Z instead of a B. Except... They had agency because of wealth. Now no one has wealth except them still so you're just going to be little nigger jew-brained rats forever with no fortune.
Yes, millennials and Gen x have their fair share of problems, but we grew up on the early internet before MKULTRA could catch up to the digital age so we skipped most of the brainwashing. You gladly accepted it into your hearts and minds. Your generation is absolutely fucked. I'm not even going to get into the diet side of things, I don't think you could even understand the level of poison you've literally consumed because of your lack of intelligence. Gen alpha will take the reigns of the world alongside millennials after the boomers die off and Gen x settles into retirement or cushy jobs. You'll be stuck being cannon fodder and the bottom rung of every corporation you infest. Forever a menial class.
Idk you guys did this to yourselves and you have no hope.
Btw I fuck your women and steal their virginity, ruining them forever for you. I'll have children with alphas when they're ready and the childless Z's will forever effeminately cry like the little bitches you are.

it was, and you're butt mad about it. reminder the wii was backwards compatible with GameCube.

>>507342283
>>507342412
No it isn't, unless you're the world's oldest child.

Madagascar - released in 2005. Zillennial movie upon release but leans zoomer especially with the sequels. These are movies mostly kids under 10 enjoy. So that'd be like 1996-2001 enjoying this upon release, not saying there aren't older who can't enjoy it but you're being ridiculous.

>Grim adventures of Billy and Mandy was canceled before zoomers even watched tv
You're retarded. It ended in 2008. The oldest zoomer was born in 1997, even people born in 2005 could've been watching that shit.

>How the fuck did zoomers play GameCube?
see >>507333258. you seem kinda slow

Foster's Home came out in 2004 and lasted to 2009. Many zoomers would have easily seen it as kids. Dark Knight came out in 2008. Brawl came out in 2008. Mario Galaxy in 2007. Adventure Time came out in 2010. Avatar in 2005. 7th Gen consoles are extremely zoomer. Youtube Poop memes are beloved by zoomers because it was part of their childhood. How dumb are you?

>>507342744

Are you guys finding out you're just early zoomers or something? Not every zoomer was born in 2006 and some of you are even confusing them with having nostalgia for a movie released 5 fucking years ago. You guys are clueless.

I’m a millennial and I hates trump. But it’s sounding like trump had causes companies to loses billions in revenues and reduced trade defections which boomers had failed for decades.

>>507342840
MOOOOM! anon wont let me play on the dreamcast!!!

>>507342915
youre zillennial, technically. and yes, i grew up on new grounds, too.

>>507342953
No brother. The Nintendo Wii belongs to zoomers. GameCube is straight millennial. Just because you were handed down your millennial older brother's GameCube doesn't mean it is yours.

>>507342915
Most of the shit on the list came out when you were in your teens or twenties. I know millennials have peter pan syndrome but come on. When I think childhood I think somewhere within the first 10 years of life primarily. Not 15.

>>507328978
Frankly, we are caught in an odd middle ground.

>>507332874
>Obviously there'll be some exceptions because some of you are poor white trash and your families made you use old consoles.
Uh... yeah? That's Gen Z.

>>507342950
they dont want to share their toys. not realizing we had the same toys anyway. its like arguing
>nuh huh, only i got a rattle as a kid!

I need a zoomer v millenial boxing match.

>>507343147
Well, as other anons have stated, a lot of us weren't getting the new consoles, we were getting shit that was a few years old under our Christmas Trees.

>>507330112
Old fag is coping cause you’re past your youth lmfao

>>507332505
That makes us 80s more like you ha. Alpha are a totally different generation from the both of us.

>>507343099
I don't understand zoomer fascination with stealing shit that belongs to millennials. You guys are telling me how technically these shows lasted until zoomers might have technically watched them once or twice when they were 3 or 4. That doesn't fucking count.

sega, and anything nintendo before the wii is millennial in fairness. xbox and playstation 2 is arguably shared and later consoles were more zoomer

>>507342892
My dad owes me 10k from all the money I've lent him. I went to trade school on my own dime and apprenticed to become a mechanic I fix my friends and my family's shit not just cars but oddball shit like dish washers, dryers, guns, tech things, etc. I own and pay for my own vehicle but yes kike I'm a man child I should be a Jidf faggot like you.

>>507343147
>NOOOO MY TOYS WERE MINE ALONE!!
only child syndrome. like bro, its hardware. even kids nowadays if they play on it could claim they grew up with it, you retard.

>>507343147
Gamecube is a zillennial console and you're never going to change that. Most millennials did not grow up with a gamecube (1981-1996) and thought it was too kiddy. Late millennials are an outlier here.

You need to grow up and get over sharing the Gamecube with your little brother.

>>507343362
I don't see how Gamecube isn't more zoomer than the original Xbox.

>>507328978
Retard
Being a millennial is fucking embarrassing

>>507343325
Older millennials definitely were too old, but people younger than me missed all this shit in its prime. This meme is zillennials only then. Fuck everyone older and younger.

>>507343004
Zoomer boomer is an american thing of classification of generations. This age thing is reginonally different but dont dare lump me in the same category with the retarded tiktok using, woke shows watching using zombies who cannot even fucking use a PC and have ugly haircuts that look like a Chihuahuas haircut or chinese crested.
My generation of 98-2005 could have been different if the retards who promoted iphones smartphoned never did that.

>>507329576
>they "voted" for it
First off, I didn't. I didn't vote any of these faggots in, and second: neither did anyone else, even if they thought they did! How have you not picked up on voting being a spook to shift the onus of everything fucked up those in power and influence do to ordinary citizens?

>>507343506
*Watching zombies.
*Regionally

hahhahahahah, maybe if you suck his dick he'll come back to you bro.

>>507328817 (OP)
Millennials: 1981–1996 (Avg. Age - 36.5)
Zoomers: 1997 – 2012 (Avg. Age - 20.5)
Alphas: 2013–2025 (Avg. Age - 6)
> I feel like our generation is irrelevant
Your feelings are correct. By the time Zoomers hit their teenage years, the internet had already become centralized, destroying isolated pockets of people from which culture is created. Which is why Zoomers don't have a generational identity, whereas previous generations, the identity was apparent. Boomers were "squares", Gen X were apathetic, Millennials were absurd, and Zoomers aren't anything, they're fractured, there is no common generational movement.
>gen alpha is having more influence on the internet now
No. The average Gen Alpha is 6 years old. Maybe in another decade or more... But now.. No, Zoomers are still seen as the children, and alpha seen as the babies.

>>507343325
look, you dont want to share your toys, I get it. you still want to feel special about growing up with specific hardware, but us zoomies grew up with it too. you're gen ain't special, except for needs.

Kek these threads are intentionally designed to turn into a flamewar, and it always pays off.

>>507342283
>gaslighting millennial
I relate to various things in that image. Black Ops 2 was special to me. Mom even got me the special edition with the two coins. Get over it

>>507343466
My friend's younger brother is a zoomer. My friend and I were born in 93. We actually played Smash Bros Melee whereas the zoomers just watched and tried to play but sucked too much ass.

If you had an older brother it fucks it all up, because you probably played with his old shit.

>>507343690
Black Ops 2 was worse than Black Ops 1 and both are worse than Modern Warfare 1 and 2. Every game made after Gears/Halo/MW-BO2 is worse than these games.

>>507343607
Shiternet become centralized in 2016 remember that bullshit gdpr and "this website is using cookies" bullshit? That s when it started. Thanks to the retarded EU cucks.

>>507343325
what’s the difference? cable TV didnt just disapear. shows didn’t suddenly stop running when someone said “oop, better stop these medias because they belong to millenials and the first gen z kid was just born so better start making arbitrarily categorised medias for them exclusively”. fuck you autist. i’m gonna go enjoy some 80s music now just because i assume that’ll piss you off too for some reason

>>507342928
>YOU ARE A ZOOMER, NOT AN 'old zoomer'
A zoomer born in 1998 is quite different from a zoomer born in 2008 due to how fast the world and technology changed. I'm certain of this.

>>507343840
Nah I don't give a shit but zoomers specifically do this nostalgia for millennial things and I think it's weird as fuck.

>>507343472
You were born in 1993 dude. People 8 years younger than you got to experience Gamecube when it was still the most recent Nintendo console (and at a lower price). That's not even counting zoomers born in 1997-2000.

>>507343693
Melee was one of my most played games in the 2000s. You haven't grown up past being mad at your little brother. You are a manchild, which is probably why you consider stuff from 2015 your childhood (that I don't even consider)

>>507343759
the oldest had a genesis, but I never played it. second oldest got Xbox, but I got Gameboy sp's, the wii, my own Xbox, ps2 at one point, and a dedicated game cube. throw a ds in there somewhere.

>>507343603
Joke all you want. It's pretty sad to see a motherfucker get wrapped around a woman's finger like some desperate puppy.

>>507343852
Yes drastically different, as it is north korea from south korea.

>>507328817 (OP)
It's obvious that with humans getting more and more intimate with technology. Trends of all sorts, tech, fashion, entertainment, culture, etc are coming and going at a faster and faster rate.
Personally, I don't see the point in divvying up generations as they are even more. The people who do that are just trying to avoid being labeled something that they're not, which is a fundamental psychological human want.

The biggest issue are the kids who, in their formative years in school, inherited a War Mongering US after 9/11. vs the kids who were too young to remember it, or care, by the time the US cooled down in the 2010s, post Obama. That's not to mention the number Obama's ID politicking did on younger Gen Z Men while they were in school in their formative years.

But yes, the trends can be rather stark. Even talking to a fellow Gen Z who is lockstep with me about every big button issue politically. They might start talking about a cultural phenomenon that I completely missed because I am +/- 2 years their age.

>>507343983
Yeah it's sad dude, but it happens all the time. It's basically human nature.

>>507343824
Both Black Ops 1 and Black Ops 2 were great and fun.

By the time zoomers got onto Xbox Live they'd stopped including headsets in the box and there was party chat and there were no more lobbies of people screaming nigger at each other. Gen alpha chads like my son, playing Gorilla Tag on VR all yell nigger at each other all day. Zoomers btfo

>>507344096
Both are very good, yes. 1 is better than 2. MW1 is also better than MW2.

Anyone remembers ogame? Or those web browser based strategy games?

>>507344107
>t. never played mw2 multiplayer
lol.

>>507342034
You may have played it but it was never contemporary to your timeline. Most this shit on this list is indeed within core childhood memories. Unfortunately Undertale is more aligned to zoomer timeline. Just because you don’t like that doesn’t make it true

And here lies another issue is the zoomer thinking they are first at things, and desperate to be relevant because of overwhelming narcissism

>>507344208
remember the George Bush flash game?

>>507344107
Glad to know, they are experiencing some of what we did.

>>507344107
>>507343905
Again, I think you're very ignorant. Zoomers WERE the squeakers who shouted slurs. I knew 7-8 year old kids at the time who played GTA and Call of Duty and this was the late 2000s. I don't think you know what you're talking about.

Also if you re born in 98 to 2001 you should have also played civ3 or civ4.
Gta SA fallout 3 new vegas and despised fallout 4 and civ5

>>507344215
MW2 came out in what, 2008? Another example of zoomers playing their older brother's game five years after the hype and mistaking it for their own thing. I'm going to tell me son Fortnite is a Gen alpha game because he can technically play it.

>>507344082
No, it's submissive beta male nature. Some dudes live their purpose and don't become a woman's lapdog. In fact, many men in history lived that way. Genghis Khan didn't spend his days running errands for some woman.

>>507343905
Your nostalgia is for emo/scene, right? At least that seems to be the case for most of you.
That wasn't gone when I was a kid, it wasn't completely gone when I graduated in 2016. My whole group of friends was that kind of kid in high school, rap culture hadnt taken over yet. I was still rocking suicide silence shirts, vans and black spike earrings in senior year. Im not going to "claim" it, I'm just pointing out that was my childhood. Smoking weed and trying to find ways to get to warped tour that year.

>>507328978
98 here, and it's Zillennial.

>>507344294
Sure, which one? The one where he made hamburgers or the other one where you d beat him up? There was a similar game about bin laden getting beaten up.

>>507344264
The Gamecube was still contemporary in 2006-2008. 90% of the shit on that image came out in your teens and twenties. That's not core childhood.

>And here lies another issue is the zoomer thinking they are first at things, and desperate to be relevant because of overwhelming narcissism
This is literally what you're doing.

>>507344315
can confirm.

>>507344403
Damn I wish I had a bro that cared as much as you care about your bro. He did throw a good thing away.

>>507344315
For a zoomer to have played MW2 would mean they were 5 or 10 years old, many years after the game's initial release. If you did not play on release, it was not your game.

>>507344107
who were the squeakers in those MW2 lobbies making you wanna kill yourself if it were not us?

>>507344315
"Zoomers" could have played gta SA multiplayer in 2008-2011 lol. And counter strike 1.6

>>507343607
gen alpha - very young zoomers are also inadvertently creating a HUGE amount of money for essentially bubbles for fake low quality shit for advert revenue farms, think elsagate, scam products shilled by influencers, the likes. how much longer until pingxingling (5) and friends gets tired of roblox and AI narrated insta reels at 20fps on his moms 3rd generation tablet? how much longer until Hutjeet Curryswami (14) realises clicking on a series of fake pop up ads, is, indeed not the ticket to FREE STUFF. when will Timmy (10) realise the whatever fan theory youtube channel he’s glued to is infact all AI generated full of mistakes and ran by 3 jeets?
(but also to some extent the elderly do this too as some have even less tech knowledge / “street smarts” against e scams)

>>507329576
I'm twenty years older and still living in my folks house without power or gas. Never married, no kids yet, and I drink a lot. Neither of my jobs pay much. I haven't thought of killing myself in over a decade. Little things keep me going: thinking of making a pizza from scratch and baking it in my Weber BBQ. Got a solar setup to power my laptop. Got a truck and the mortgage on my $350K property was paid off over a decade ago. Got a little dog to look after. Some nice house plants. Modern appliances. A backyard vegetable garden. A miter saw, lawn mower, ladders, wrenches, smartphone, vintage stereo equipment, a few friends, four pairs of shoes, fireplace & wood burning stove, full spice rack, booster cables, arctic sleeping bag, footstools, jerry cans, hedge trimmer, a can of cream of mushroom soup, a mini-fridge, some pasta, a TI99/4A computer, a Roland RE-201, an AKG microphone, a deluxe toaster oven, and an untouched pineapple. Life's a pretty sweet fruit even when you don't have much.

>>507344450
the one were its a shootout in the white house. I forgot the site it was one, but it was flash game heaven till addicting games.

>>507344525
Many of them did, and do you really think a game is only played on its release and never touched again? It's so fucking funny to see a 16 year old who should be dating girls or something cling onto his childhood so hard trying to fight off 5 year olds going "THIS IS NOT YOUR CHILDHOOD". You're so gay.

>>507344615
I was being called a squeaker by Mexicans and niggers in those lobbies. Being a late millennial, I have no doubt some of you caught the end of these things, but you didn't get the prime and so it doesnt count.

>>507344418
“GOTH BIG TIDDY GF” also still makes the rounds as a meme, eventually leading to at least one comment spilling their guts out wishing they actually had one every time

>>507344681
You can play whatever you want. AC/DC wasn't millennial music just because I could listen to it still you dumb nigger.

>>507344736

So you're a late bloomer. GRIM! You are very pathetic

>>507344418

What the fuck? What kind of a middle of nowhere shithole are you from? Ever got educated or just rotting in bum fuck as we speak?

>>507344679
Yeah i remember. There was also armor games, kongregate arcadeprehacks. Xgen studios. Those were very famous in the 2007-2014 frame before mobile apps takeover. I feel bad that that period didnt last longer.

>>507344812
Actually yeah I was a squeaker late, but then I started getting called nigger after my voice dropped. Good times. Kids will never have the fun I had.

>>507344525
For a 98 Zoomzoom that would make me a 11-13 year old squeaker on Xbox live, yes? I literally had the MW2 edition 360.

My nephews are and have been playing Fortnite since they were both 6ish. Actually understanding the concept of the game and using the controller.

>>507344736
mate zoomers WERE the squeekers in cod lobbies

>>507344794
You're getting mad over actual children recalling their childhood as a guy who was nearly 18. That is sad as fuck. No wonder you're still like this.

When I think childhood I think back to 6-7 years old. I ain't thinking of my teenage years.

You're just in denial at this point.

it some of the best flash games. new grounds was pretty good, but addicting games has clear vision, which was surprisingly fun. and then it died overnight.

>>507344919
Note I was squeaking in Gears of War and Halo 3, by MW2 no.

There was also in my country lots of west european games (german) such as bitefight, metin2, tribal wars, grepolis. They were being advertised frequently in 2010-12. I know more titles since I toured the internet a lot that time.

But seriously I'm just busting your balls because I just saw that new sabrina carpenter song railing on men. Anyways I'm considering trades but I'm 29. I'm afraid the much harder work I assume you need to do when you start out is going to be more debilitating to my body than if I started younger. How long did it take for you to get to where you are? Are you able to afford a decent standard of living for yourself? Do you see yourself owning a business? Does it make sense to move to an area where there might be a bigger market or is staying local profitable for most places, say in the suburbs or mosg cities?

>>507344975
No, it would have made me 13-14 during the time I'm describing and you my sons current age. Zoomers are obsessively trying to move the goal post to playing MW2 three or four years after launch as relevant.

I paused my Minecraft Beta 1.2 Fraps recording to make this comment btw.

i also love the fact that the liminal spaces meme brought a lot of attention to source games and especially garrys mod. also full of scam shite but i had some great fucking times on there and it warms my heart to see new videos of teenagers being little fuckin rats on RP servers, just like i was. im honestly surprised gmod is still running desu

>>507345360
bro, I played that on launch.

Another titles: seafight, darkorbit. But now they re useless cashgrabs like how most of the internet went after big companies took over. They only want money, nothing new , no quality. And the alpha and gen z goyim make the best buyers because they dont know how the internet was before mobile phones probably they dont have a PC. I hate how everything became so much regulated i want to go back

Wonder if "zillenials" or older zoomers had gen x parents or a mix of boomer and gen x parents?

That's fairly normal age for parents, anon. I think your scope of everything is fucked up.

>>507345240
No problem. Im not really proud of writing all of this now, but i dont get the chance to discuss this with anyone. I have so many years of experience with the internet but dont talk about it.

>YOU WERENT LITERALLY AT THE LAUNCH CEREMONY SO THAT ISNT YOURS
dude, have you realised stuff just gets produced faster now too? yeah you had cod’s bi yearly release, but you’d know not everyone stuck around for the newest ones. also, since we’re talking about cod, the games with increasingly less campaign and more multiplayer every iteration, a series up to what, 12 entries overall? a fan is at some point gonna check out the other games in the series. i really dont get how thats stealing

as for the second part, if you are not making your own thing, you will be poor in the future because theres not going to be a middle class so where do you think thats going to leave the working class? have fun

>>507345707
Yes, if you didn't play these games at release you can't even know what it was like. Halo 3 was a cultural phenomena. We had so many people in class playing and skipping school to play that we had to split into a few lobbies.

>>507345672
30 is not mid thirties. And have you ever heard of the term average? 30-33 is pretty average for first parents. It wasn't even 'old as fuck' in 1993. Try 40. You think 16 is more relevant childhood than 6 so it's clear your scope of age is fucked up. It's also clear your mental maturity is lacking because you are ashamed of having grown up with something like the Gamecube that kids younger than you also like. Instead of being a man about it and being happy for them you have to be a faggot little bitch about it and crash out like a retard like you did in this thread. Sad little late bloomer BITCH with a faggot son!

Statistically you're wrong. Modal age for father at first birth is 34 today. Back then it was around 30. You have an 11-13 year old son at 31? That's not common. You are the outlier.

We cannot because millennial white women writers are going to trash shit up for another decade at least, and zoomers are too retarded to do anything period.

I'ma keep it real with you brother unless you have no other option or you really love to do construction, work on cars, plumbing etc don't bother joining it's hell starting out in any trade it's not impossible but I consider myself as joining late I was 22 when I started my path on being an auto tech and I don't regret learning but it was some of the most miserable years of my life my advice is if you have no prior experience at all as in your granpappy didn't show you the ropes when you we're a pre-teen put your effort somewhere else maybe see if you can monetize one of your hobbies or if your completely fucking rarted like I was maybe try to get your CDL or grind somewhere while you simultaneously study the shit out of finances I'm talking crypto and stock market investing and especially real estate then when you have a good 20-40k try to flip what your best at flipping in my case I've been extremely successful with cars, crypto, and I'm getting better at the stock market I eventually plan to start in real estate by buying a duplex when I have enough for the down payment and some extra for repairs and all the bullshit fees
