It was probably just as fucked up, but we had to rely on jew media for information, so we believed the narrative.

Anybody here remember the good times? (70's and 80's)

No security cameras
No cellphones
Ultima on your Apple ][+ or Atari
Could say whatever you wanted and not be sanctioned/cancelled
Compliment a girl on her tits and she would blush and say thank you!
Guaranteed jobs straight out of high-school
Faggots beaten regularly
Secret porn stashes in the woods
Male teachers as role models
Cities not overrun by minorities
No helmets or any protective gear
Zero fear of germs
Real language with little euphemism
Exchanged letters with girls at school. Girls would even mail you letters.
Pictures actually meant something because you had to pay to get them processed
Friends were actual friends and had your back
Moms still knew how to cook
Smoking at school
Almost everyone got in fights at school. Right of passage.
Girls dressed up and did their hair even to goto 7-11
Porn was the Sears Catalog
All night skating at the rink. Dropped off at 6 pm on Friday. Picked up at 3 pm on Saturday.

Blame Apple computer users, Obama and Biden for enabling the uncapable.

Now we're nostalgia locking our demographics and our children behind ever increasingly larger paywalls to remove the poor from our collective midst, precious internet, computer media, and dare I say: ever increasing technical requirements.

The problem is that's such a tremendous waste of efforts when 90% of people should not even have access to computers internet electronics cellphones or anything from 1975 onwards, because they don't have the aptitude or cares know how to build, care for, or use it.

Been playing this again on PC cus I got reminded of the Remake for 3. God the story telling you can do in an 8 bit game is amazing.

>>513947346
Epic. I member.

Also you actually owned the game on hard media so you didnt have to get forced updates in order to play or have your experience altered

ALSO since you were shipping essentially a black box to consumers you couldn't fuck up the game badly. The game had to work you couldn't ship out an "update fix"

>>513934967

The world was large but you is only heard about it over the tv or radio or a news paper or a library. The nineties were such a magical time. I was only 3 in 1989 but I recall the comfy media, games, tv, movies, irl friends and experiences and HL1 mods the time from 1993-2004 very very fondly. Sometime when the iphone/android was released around 2009-2012 was the start of the end of friendly culture. 9/11 sucked and started the ball rolling of Government Overreach and decay but honestly I felt we were healing around 2008/2009. I wonder what happened. Occupy Wall Street maybe? Did they accelerate the Race Hate agenda then? Sigh I miss the past internet before it was Bubbles and Corprifide

Also people on the internet overall were far nicer. People didnt worship trolls or trolling. What happened to us?

Truuuuu. Computers and even game consoles were very expensive and the games were just better or worked out of the box at least.

Honestly also i want to know how much of this is a non white problem. I remember being surrounded by white culture in massachusetts in the nineties.

We made expensive computers and expensive products.And we took our job seriously and we played hard but not too hard. There was Just a mutual respect for each other. Ethno state when?

The internet before 2007 was amazing. It was like 95% high IQ white/asian dudes talking shit and posting pictures of hot women.

So so true. Even minorities would respect each us and each other because everyone was anon more or less and we had a unspoken code of respect. We kept the trash talk restricted to the games and let it go when we got offline, mostly.

Also this whole revenge porn thing lmao seems so ridiculous to me. I knew as a 90s kid you never take a picture of yourself naked and you NEVER UPLOADED IT ONLINE BEVAUSE IF YOU DID YOU KNEW THAT SHIT WAS FOREVER

God damn so many sluts now taking nude pics with their bfs and then when they break up and the bf leaks them its a crime and revenge porn? Like bitch maybe dont let him take a video of you sucking his cock fucking you and cumming on your face if you dont want that shit leaked you dumb dumb dumbass

That was almost entirely restricted though and everyone knew which areas to stay away from. Today they roam freely and those crimes can happen anywhere because of how saturated places are with these people, at least in the US anyways. The small quiet town I grew up in 40 years ago is now filled with run down shopping plazas that are occupied by liquor/ smoke shops. Needless to say that crime rates skyrocketed too. It’s depressing to think about

Most American Cities are now blights. Ugly Tents everywhere. Open illegal drug use. Niggers and beaners everywhere. Crime and harassment everywhere. I knew cities had these things as a kid in 2000 NYC and Seattle wernt the safest cities but during the day they were mostly safe. I hate cities now. I mean I love all the services but having to be all on my toes and shit isn't fun at all

I hope Trump brings some military to Seaatle and Tacoma. Clean up the city. No niggers or homeless harassing people and putting mom and pop stores out of business.

Born in 1983 the hard part is knowing how good it was for me and knowing how shitty it will be for my kids.

If you find the right place to live you can simulate the 1980s for them quite easily until they're 10 or so (the ages after that they start to rebel).
That is my plan for when I have kids. They will probably see Star Wars (the real original) first before anything else, or perhaps it will be The Wizard of Oz.

Why did niggers, women and bankers (mostly jewish) help ruin our:

- Music
- Culture
- Video Games
- Tv Shows
- Movies

like LEAVE US WHITE BOYS ALONE you have to just be loud and violent and hate men so much you just have to ruin everything that made our childhood and adolesants great?

>>513952295
The niggers even mostly respected whitey in the 90's. Women feminism wasn't to bad they acted like they wanted equal relationships but we know how that worked out.

It really is like they did a 9/11 to fuck up our culture. I guess we fucked them up in the past so WE DESERVED IT OR SOMETHING but jesus christ

Then they enticed with this information super highway thing called the interent only to then also let the normies in through the gates via Steve Jobs rectangular trojan horse.

>>513932970
>rely on jew media for information
True to an extent. There was a lot more diversification of ownership, particularly at the local media level. If memory serves, radio started consolidating in the 1990s under Clinton (I think there was a law passed that enabled it), and the high cost of converting to HD/Digital format caused a lot of local stations to close down or get bought up. So while there was more reliance on media, it wasn't in the hands of only six megacorporations at that time.

>Anybody here remember the good times? (70's and 80's)

Literally no one was born yet or old enough to form memories in the proper social and historical context.
Even the 40 year old 2006 posters born in the 80s at most started experiencing the second half of the 90s as something more than just comic books and cartoons.

Half this shit isn't even true either, pure zoomer roleplay. This board is fuckin gay.

>>513954513
Look I get nostalgia and have it myself in certain instances. But this media slop nostalgia and romanticism for 90s consumerism and pop culture is something I will never wrap. If thats what you miss the most about it then you are just exposing yourself as a normie.
I swear. Millennials turned into cringe nostalgia manchildren faster than even the boomers ever did. Our attachment with the 90s is the same kind of relationship boomers have with the 50s. And right now its mostly in the "remember the good times" phase like boomers went through with shows like Happy Days. But it will eventually turn into bitterness ala what boomers then did when they started shitting on the 50s wholesale with stuff like Pleasantville. Stages of grief.

Porn in the woods was just people throwing their trash out the fuckin window of moving cars, or being ashamed that some kid might tip their garbage can over or some raccoons dig through it and then there's their porn magazine strewn all over the sidewalk, or worse yet worrying that their parents might find it when throwing it out.

So people just dumped it out in the woods or in parking lots - like they would with gum wrappers or empty soda or beer cans or today's newspaper after they were done reading it.

Literally the only reason why there hasn't been porn in the woods in these last 15 years is because all the porn moved onto people's computers and phones and tablets.

And this is a completely fair point I wholeheartedly agree with. Its what I myself miss about it. And not just because it was my childhood. People in general adults and children alike were just more bearable (not really that great though because boomers still existed). And even boomers were not completely insufferable yet even though they could still be awful when they wanted to. But I swear the real millennium bug was something that got activated in the brains of boomers the moment Y2K hit.

It was all rain-soaked and then sun-bleached.

You also don't care for the rest of my post explaining the other reason why one would find all sorts of trash everywhere including newspapers and magazines - or why one would go out of their way to dump their old porn magazines across town like some sort of murder victim not wanting to be seen by their neighbors or family.

People actually used to have shame when it came to watching porn and jacking off. If Anyone owned more than a few movies/magazines and they didn't just keep them hidden away somewhere they were seen as huge virgin sex freaks.

The average zoomers has consumed like 10 million hours of porn in their lifetime so far with an extra 10 terabytes of nude pictures, how many VHS and magazines do you think that would come out to?

So true. Mass Effect 1 even did a similar thing when you do custom build it says data erased having to start over

Games back then were simpler and made by people who really really love having fun and being Innovative and they were smaller teams of mostly white men who got to well together and making money was secondary to making a fun game that other people liked the money would follow now games are made first to make money and then having fun it's like second or third or fourth on the list

Two years into the future from 1989 everything goes (and went) to shit. Remember 9/11, it was the end of your freedom, never forget that.

>>513960828
Because you pull figures out of your ass, occupier.

>>513934547
kek, neat.
Makes me think of the ending in Dead Money.

The IBM model M was a $250 keyboard. I own 3, a model F and a Unicomp model M. I know what I'm talking about, you brown fucking retard

>>513960828
>>513960923
What I mean by this is that it was more affordable adjusted to inflation because of LESS inflation back then.

>>513960879
facts don't care about your feelings chuddie

You had to visit the constellation Lynx, but for some reason they kept describing it as a "serpent" or something, so I could never find it, despite beating the black urquan bloody in every encounter. It didn't matter because the game was on a time and you still lost without visiting that one constellation. It was fucking stupid and ruined the entire game. A game which otherwise would have been great.

A $250 keyboard isn't affordable in 2025, let alone in 1987.

>>513961054
They care even less about yours then. Because you are not even providing actual facts.
And who is emotional right now between you and me? I know its not me.

>>513961155
You claimed I pull figures out of my ass, which I don't, ever. I know about IBM hardware, and the figures I quote are accurate. God you're brown

>>513961225
Its less affordable now. Thats what you are obfuscating.

>>513961271

Lol bud you're seething

One of my most favorite movies, occasionaly I play it before sleepn, turn the monitor off and just listen to the sound as I fall a sleep

Whatever you say, sargent Ramirez at Ramstein.

But I am not. I am just rolling my eyes over arguing with a clown like you.

And then the people in the 2050s will be talking about computers and electricity and cars and grocery stores and working toilets and their kids will think all the old people are crazy.

>>513961323
The average American household earned $30k in 1987. It means that an average household have to spend almost 1% of their YEARLY income to purchase the keyboard. Just the keyboard.

>>513961490
kek @this fag rolling his eyes while staring at his computer

>>513944116
I'm pretty sure i have an unused box of that paper somewhere.

>>513943075
Yep. Managed decline. Its actually been going on since the 1970s.

>>513944174
I remember it well. The first day of hell was when they announced George Lucas sold Star Wars to Disney. Like fools, we rejoiced.

>>513961584
But in this case you do not adjust for inflation. Why is that?
The percentage the avarage american working up to four fucking jobs now would have to spend on that keyboard today would be way higher than 1%.

>>513943075
>This is why there is no great collapse coming or anything like that, it's just a slow slide into the shit.
This^^ Its about normalizing the shit so the next generation doesn't know any better. People always say the time when they were younger was better than today which is always true. What's interesting though is I used to work at a DMV 13 years ago and used to get a lot of older people coming in. Didn't matter if they were born in the teens, twenties, thirties or even forties, they all said the 50's was the best decade. Been downhill ever since.

Who had a daisy wheel printer so they print on carbon copy paper? My dad had one of these in his shop to print carbon copy invoices for customers well into the 90s. Basically a computer controlled automatic typewriter made to be backwards compatible with CC paper commonly used in typewriters.

I guess the only thing carbon copy paper is used for anymore is traffic tickets.

Only a closeted sargent at Ramstein would think someone rolling their eyes is automatically homo.

That was already over 12 years into hell.

No, not just you. Human population grew exponentially, and human life devalued to nothing.

Rules of being a "useful member of society" distorted grotesquely. And the further we go, the worse it gets.
Human competence is more or less even, so reasons to deny someone a place in this world have to become more convoluted, often abandoning sanity.

As of right now, being "sensible", is likely a character flaw, more than anything. Play by degenerate's rules or die poor and alone.

>>513961990
The people claiming the 50s were the best have a clouded judgement too regardless of when they were born or if the lived through them or not.

>>513961917
What the fuck are you talking about? I'm saying that in 1987, they'd have to spend 1% of their early income, or 10% of their monthly income, to afford this keyboard. Household income has largely kept up with inflation so that inflation adjusted keyboard represents the same percentage of your income. However, keyboards don't cost $250 anymore.

God you're uneducated.

>>513932635 (OP)
I miss the 80s to early / mid 90s. Why couldn't THAT be the shit we get stuck on instead of this 21st century shitpile of sameness. Shit has been exactly the same for like 20 years now.

>>513932692
Because Maniac Mansion required higher specs and wouldn't run on my machine.

>>513962162
I would rather die poor and alone than play by this sick societies rules any longer.
I am fasting right now. I am going to live on almost nothing else but carrots and porridge for a month. Not because I have to really. But because I want to lover my living standard.

>>513932635 (OP)
They used sell floppies with this game and others for a couple bucks at grocery stores, drug stores, etc. in the early 90s. Pre internet times. It was great.

>>513962251
>Household income has largely kept up with inflation
And this is the most blatant lie you have told yet.

>>513962186
I wouldn't agree to that. Most of the time people remember the times when they were children or teenagers as the best times. Yet I had people who were in their 40's during the 50's saying it was the best time. The reasonable explanation for this would be simply that the 50's were the best decade.

>>513962449
Nah they are just blindsided that it was the decade that directly followed both the great depression and WW2 so anything seems like paradise after that.

>>513932848
Talking on 4chan is better? LOL

I'm sure I've a few of those, one of them a serial port Logitech shaped like a literal mouse (green button ears).

I remember my friend's friend making all the payphones in the mall ring all at the same time. He told us to stay cool which we did, but the he got scared and ran when it worked.

>>513949163
Are you threatening me?

>>513962557
Except the fact that people born in the teens could and if they were like every other generation, should have said the roaring twenties where the best decade. However, they didn't. It was always the 50's. Even people born in the 50's said it was the 50's when they probably should have said 60's.

>>513962449
>>513962557
In actuality the 50s were a time of mass atomization, the beginning of mass consumerism, post-war Liberalism.
The boomers were right to rebel against this tacky bullshit in the 60s. The problem is they did it in a very reddit, shitlib and halfassed way and just created the degenerate 70s out of it all in the end instead and now they are what know and... well know them as anyway.

That's true lol. Household income followed inflation for a given age group
