Do Zoomers really not have LAN parties anymore?

Every day, we all bring our phones and play brawl stars together while eating pizza

Why do millenials lash out at children for not knowing about things they didn't grow up with?

>>718999647 (OP)
>dad, how come I don't have an older brother?

>>719001871
An interesting comment, I was going to write a response, but then I was struck with how on-point that is.
It really is a thing millennials do. Even boomers dont really care if their kids dont get how a record player or the old tv works.

Buckley had a hard life.

>>719002946
I'm not a dad yet, but does your kid being into sports really sucks that much time?

>>718999918
Buckley’s not bald, you’re thinking of Bald and Piglike.

>>719003057
It probably heavily depends on how involved you want to be with the kid's vanish

I'm 42 and the last LAN event I went to was in 2001.

He did say he was late. It only takes a small bit of your free time if you show up right before your shift ends.

>>719003057
I'm a dad and I have 2 - 3 hours a week of free time left. (actual free time not me posting on 4chan on the toilet at work).

My son is not at the age yet to get serious about sport. But honestly I would need to cut not only my free time out if he did, but cut down on quality time with my wife as well.

I'm already considering working fewer hours and taking a pay cut just to spend more time with my family. But yeah free time doesn't exist anymore.

On the bright side. You stop caring that you don't have free time to do anything. It sucked the first year. But you get used to it. And your child is worth it. When he calls you daddy and hugs you because you're his favorite person. Fuck the games or movies I would have played instead.

>>719002946
If you work a shitty job, marry a woman you hate and don't raise your kids right, it feels this way. Otherwise all of them make your time much more enjoyable and fulfilling despite the surface level lack of leisure time.

>>718999647 (OP)
We don't have houses, so no. Cramming 12 entire desktop pc set ups into someone's apartment sounds like the kind of pain in the ass that's fun to do exactly once.

Outside of being one of many gamer dad strips on the internet, this one is alright.

>>719003057
My nephew got into baseball. My sister had to take him to practice once a week and then a game once a week. That led to him getting on to a travel team which had practice and game, each once a week. That led to him getting on all star team which led to practice and game, each once a week. My sister was at baseball practice and games 6 days a week. At least the all star shit was only for a month.

>>718999647 (OP)
Why would you not use this as an opportunity to discuss your own life with your child, to connect with them?

That's what I did and I strongly advise it if you can afford it

>>719002946
See, the mistake he's making is spending time with his kids. He should be more like a booomer parent, then he'd still have plenty of time to do what he wants.

You think Zoomies even understand how to crimp ethernet?

>>719013957
This is true. My boomer parents barely ever worked and just got drunk and partied with their friends all the time and ignored their kids.
Boomers let TV and the early internet raise their kids.
Instead of iPads we got 90's-2000's TV and eventually napster, limewire, ebaumsworld.
Raw dogging the internet.
I remember frequenting Funcoland and buying and selling tons of old games because it wasn't just "download flavor of the month on Steam".
No cell phones.
Had to actually hang out with people to socialize.
I had to jack off to physical magazines for cryin' out loud! Those things took work to get!
Porn also was hard to find on the web.
You think AskJeeves was servin' up quality content?
There was no "pornhub".
We had to work to coom.

Millenials are the last "raw dogging it" generation. Zoomers are simply spoiled, and it shows.

>>719012519
Just 'cause you have good internet speeds at home doesn't mean it's the case everywhere.

I think we need a war to kill at least 70% of you whining millennial niggas before its too late. If we're lucky the insane people were right about vaccination and it does that for us.

Me and my m8's have done a lan party week every year for about 8 years. After year one we gave up on lan and now we play everything via internet, even if the pc's are next to each other.

>>719001871
Millennials are reaching an age where when they talk to zoomoids they realise they're on the 'old' side of the generational divide now.
When ou talk to a zoomer at work you will invariably find yourself saying something similar to what your parents said to you in you late teens to early 20s, and each time it happens it's like an icy dagger to the heart.

I imagine this always happens to every genreation, but millenials are the first generation for it to happen to on the internet.

This, ngl. We're universally known as the tech support generation. Boomers didn't bother learning, zoomers were born with the tablets, and Gen X were too stoned to give a shit about anything. We're the generation that had to learn that looking up sex on google will crash your computer, and you'll need to do five formats per year on your home computer yourself. Gen Z and alphas can't even create a fucking folder on their desktop.

And beyond that, I'll use my boomer father as an example. He's a life time cook, been a chef a few times. And yet I don't have a single clue how to cook anything because he never thought me how to do anything. Boomers didn't care about sharing their skills and careers with their kids, and they're also the first generation to become grand parents and be completely absent from their grandchildrens' lives.

Gen X are still too stoned to give a fuck.

My father was a boomer sausage maker and he would kick me out of his shack where he did them whenever I tried to watch him. To this day I have no idea how to make a sausage and his recipes died with him. I relate to this post.

I wish I had anything of value to share with my daughters. My wife has tried to share cooking with tjem but they don't give a shit.

I helped my eldest learn to use my project management tools so she can walk in to an interview knowing some business softwares, but it isn't exactly ''passing down skill'' in the old fashion way

>>719032178
Absolutely this. As a kid I kept trying to laern how to work on cars but my boomer dad never allowed me anywhere near that stuff aside from showing me how to change my oil. It's just a generational thing

This is very true, my son barely knows his grandparents because they're too busy doing nothing or flying down to Florida for half the year. We learned early on never to depend on them for baby sitting because they'll always find an excuse, they just don't care. But those same people used to send me to my grandparents all the time and I was super close to them, and them to us. Boomers just don't give a shit about their kids.

>>719001871
Because you accepted playing 20 years of Fortnite as normal development and then act like this whenever people who used to go out of their way to learn and navigate multiple systems and gaming niches feel like you're an idiot.

You have an incredibly rich and detailed internet at your fingertips at all times. If you're 14-18 and have 8500 hours in Fortnite but can't identify a controller that isn't from the two Fortnite-playing consoles you owned, then you're borderline incapable. Kids who "grew up" with this stuff can identify a Dreamcast controller despite less than 10 million of them existing worldwide. People who were raised on an SNES knew what an NES, Master System, and Atari were, at least more often than not, and they did so with little more than access to a magazine.

Simply put, had everything not been so easily accessible, you'd have been someone who never had played a game. But you got roped in as the "modern audience".

>>718999647 (OP)
They probably do but it's not called a lan party anymore, similar to how people now call it a smart phone rather than a mobile phone or cell phone.

I've never been to a LAN party. You need to own a PC and have PC gamer nerd friends. I'd say LAN parties were more of a college Gen X thing.

That's a pretty common fallacy, I don't think there's ANYONE wishing they were back in the good old 2008 days

Is anyone else exhausted at the generational bullshit constantly on this site? You can't praise or criticise a game without someone calling you a zoomie or whatever because you dared play an old game and didn't like it

Disingenuous. And no, the EL doesn't count, because you know why.

I haven't had a LAN party since 2010. I hate thinking about it, because the guys were getting really cunty.
>we should just play online
>im gonna keep screen peaking
>this is gay i dont want to do this anymore
And you know what? That's fine, I don't care about that part. I get pissed off that they act like they miss LAN parties when I was the only one enjoying them or seeking them out. What faggots.

>>719003057
School sports games are events that family is expected to show up to. If you don't come, your son will be an outcast. Most of them involve parents helping events or fundraising and even handling trips, especially if travel is involved for things such as state events. Having a successful and active child can result in the parents having to be incredibly active to match them. This is not a bad thing, just at times unexpected.

True. You could say the same about making them handicapped-accessible of course - another comparatively modern thing - and then you're entering 'just tear out the whole thing and rebuild it all from scratch' kind of money and effort.

>Why do millenials lash out at children for not knowing about things they didn't grow up with?
Youre thinking of boomers, theyre the ones getting mad at the 11 year old who doesnt instinctively know how to tie certainknots or repair small motors
Millenials are getting freaked out by the sudden realization that the last console you had before leaving home for college or basic or whatever came out 25 years ago and controllers havnt had a cord since before your teenager was born

I have been telling retards that they were retarded even when I was a kid, no reason to get shy with zoomers now.
Well,except they are usually even more retarded than people used to be back then.

I'm 25 and long since accepted I'll never have kids but recently I've really wanted to pass my skills and experiences down to the next generation. If I ever make higher than survival wages I'm going to start some kind of dojo charging $10 a class.
It'll teach swordsmanship, slinging, lockpicking, sign language, shaving with a straight razor, car repairs, magic tricks, rigging a deck of cards, that sort of thing. Call it some shit like "The Art of the Modern Swashbuckler, Cheaper than Babysitting" and give some flouridated Alphas a few cool tricks to show off.
Well, I guess we'd be onto Betas or something by then.

>>719049757
