Holy fuck we are old

>>719255315 (OP)
no...

I recently inherited my great grandfathers Sega Genesis

The march of time is cruel and unforgiving

>>719255515
But do you look old? Compared to your parents when they were the age you are now. "Being old" doesn't look like it used to. There are still mutants who dont take care of their body, or/and have shit genetics and what have you. But a LOT of people in their 30s these days look like they're barely out of their teens. A lot of mid-20s adults look like they're fucking highschool teenagers who haven't finished puberty too. Quality of life gets better every generation.

This kid better have a son in two years.

>>719256514
This shit makes me sad. When I was growing up my parents showed me vidya and I always thought I'd be doing the same. I daydreamed about how I'd show my kid how to play halo and shit.
I've literally never seen a vagina.
It's so over.

>>719256135
I'm 37 and I'm finally starting to look older and stop getting carded as much. Hair was already gray a while ago (my dad went completely gray in his 30s). But not it's receded a little bit now. Physically I feel mostly fine, but you need a lot more upkeep in your late 30s. And on my birthday I randomly got the worst back pain in my life, couldn't move for a few days.

But yeah, if you take care of yourself you can feel younger and be active for a long time. Just look at Chuck Norris.

>>719256597
It's actually starting to feel like the 21st century too. AI, humanoid robots, etc. Shit is gonna get weird by the time we're actually old.

>>719255315 (OP)
In some parts of the South and Appalachia there are grandparents in their late thirties or early forties. Or there used to be when teen pregnancy was super high. It's plausible. I remember seeing someone who became a grandma at 29.

How is that weird? The guy might have been old as fuck when he got the ps1. I was a kid when my parents bought me my ps1.

>>719256135
>A lot of mid-20s adults look like they're fucking highschool teenagers who haven't finished puberty too
Can confirm somewhat, I'm 25 but people are often shocked to hear that and they assume I'm 18 or 19.

what? This not possible. If grandad had son ps1 at 28 and son was 8. In 20 years itd be 2016, and his dad would be 28 then. 10 more years is 2026. Unless im tripping and the ps5 released earlier. Even assuming thats the case...then.

Oh never mind. He could have had the kid in 2007 technically I guess, if he had the kid as early as 20 too...damn wtf, im born 02 and this was still trippy...

>>719256514
At least I can be an uncle to my nephews.
>tfw got the older one a hacked SNES Classic for his birthday and he loves playing Turtles in Time

They also think im 18/19 too, and im 23 but I also take hrt, so I dont know how fair that assesment is.

Millenail meltdown thread

For me it was already over years ago when Anons started talking about "games their parents grew up playing". My parents are baby boomers and think video games are fucking stupid and for kids.

>>719256135
I went bald at 23.

>>719257638
>Team Fortress 2 was released 18 years ago.

>>719257545
>living longer
Actually life expectancy is going down and men are still outperformed by women.

>>719257545
Some people just naturally go gray or even white young. Look at Steve Martin, he was totally white in his 30s. This is what he looked like when he still had color.

>>719257716
Yeah was weird to me when I started hearing "my dad used to love playing Chrono Trigger" and things like that. My parents played the NES a bit when it was new and my dad played Road Rash 2 on the Genesis, but those were consoles they got for us as kids. The games my parents remember playing before we were born were like Pong and Pac-Man.

Gray hair is an easy and inexpensive problem to fix. Baldness not so much.

fuck

imagine having a kid and forcing it to live in this shithole reality

>mfw I'm still in my 20s
Get fucked grandoa

I'm an older zoomer and my closest version of this was when I was talking to someone in my class (I went back to school recently) he said he liked vidya and told me his first console was the Wii U
I had my older brother's N64 and got a Gamecube for Christmas, so even though we weren't that far apart in age it still made me feel ancient

>>719258335
Yeah going bald can't be helped and hair dye is pretty good nowadays, not a big deal. Personally I like having a bit of white and gray in my hair, looks cool like Nick Fury.

I have the feeling my head would look weird if I ever go bald, so hopefully that's not until I'm ancient.

I've started to bring this up with people I know. We have no idea what the world is going to look like in even twenty years, probably.
It seems like the first big change is that by the 30s, we probably won't be able to trust any digital videos or photos anymore...

>>719257716
I mean, my dad is just barely out of baby boomer territory (1965) and he played games all the time growing up, and when I was a kid in the early 2000s.

My grandparents are boomers (1950), and my parents are gen X (1970). My dad had an Odyssey, and my mom had an Intellivision and a 2600. My mom bought a PC Jr. when she went to college and played some games on there, and then she later got a Game Boy. My dad eventually bought us a PS1; that was our first console.

My mom's dad liked to play Missile Command with her when she was a kid, and he would linger behind me whenever I was playing games and say that they were cool but he couldn't be bothered to learn how to play them. He also said that if the internet existed when he was young that he would have stayed a fat kid and become a fat adult lol

It's endlessly mysterious to me that kids keep coming here.
We're old men that grew up in this hellhole, we're stuck here forever, but what's drawing them into this den of bots, shills, trolls, and perverts?

>>719256135
Actually I've had a few pure white hairs pointed out to me recently, though I'm "only" in my early 30s. I wonder if I'll have a streak of white or lose hair colour entirely by my 40s or 50s.

>>719260960
I really wonder how much influence my staunch refusal to indulge in social media affected my social life. So many turning points to look back on, so many potential avenues to normalcy. Perhaps when I saw the expressions of confusion and amusement from my friends and acquaintances I should have taken that as a sign. Maybe if I posted pictures of things I was doing with stupid meaningless captions and followed all the people I knew, all the things I was too proud to do, all the things I saw myself as better for not doing.

>>719261725
i mean you made it here as a kid
what's the difference?
they're supposed to know better or something?
why should they if you didn't

>>719258897
I wonder why everyone looked so dirty in the 70s. Was it all the smoking?

>>719255315 (OP)
When someone calls me a newfag, I always think to myself "I've been here for over 10 years, fag", then I realize I've been doing that for over ten years.

>>719261725
No accounts. Make a better anonymous site and people would flock to it I think (altchans aren't better). 4chan has too much history and momentum to ever die completely though.

Im a 97 zoomer and I grew up playing N64 games, old PC games my dad played took turns playing with me, and PS1 games before I got my own GameCube , yes you fags are getting old. I'm 27 and am a father as of last year as well. Literally do not remember 9/11 happening.

I'm at the point where I'm feeling old

>>719261808
Something about the lighting of photos plays a part probably. They always look darker and dingier. But yeah smoking and worse air pollution maybe contributed.

>>719262182
I think people would be a lot more forgiving and understanding of boomer psychology in general if they had kids. It's easy to blame your parents for a lot of things, until you have kids of your own and realize how easy it is to make mistakes. You realize they were just people doing the best they could figuring things out. Most of the time anyway, sadly sometimes parents are genuinely evil and abusive.

>>719261930
i dont even feel anything anymore. I used to, there used to always be hope, that somehow I could change. Now when I see moments on screen of relationships and intimacy its just emptiness, hollow. Like Im watching something intended for someone else, I get nothing from it. Just as you, when the media ends, I am only left with despair. So it goes. Life has to take on a different meaning now, theres no drive left to pursue things like love or intimacy.

High school kids from the 70s look "old" to me. It's the style, the hair and other things I've grown to associate with "oldness". I guarantee you look "old" to some eighteen year olds.

Hmmm nah. Boomer's are greedy and take money while cutting off their kid's dick as soon as they're born. I didn't let anyone touch my daughter besides her mother after she was born. No clamps, no aluminum vaccines, no ripping out her ovaries and frying them or anything. You're a stupid faggot if you really believe what you wrote.

>>719262943
Yeah she's currently obsessed with trying to figure out how things work and trying to help us around the house with chores, currently she really likes trying to help us sweep or open or close doors for us. Really enjoys hiking too. I can't wait to actually be able to teach her things and watch her grow into a person, it's a beautiful thing to see happen slowly

>>719263214

No, hope is a form of entitlement. Expecting or wishing for a positive outcome does not grant you one. Happiness and freedom will not fall out of the sky into your lap. Either fight for it or give up and die.

>>719263384
haah, don't let her die, man. Every parent goes through that joy as the kid grows up, and it's soul-wrenching when it gets taken away instantly. My friend's kid got slammed by a car.

I meant that I think "I've been here for 10 years" now, and 10 years ago I was thinking "I've been here for 10 years" too.
And I realize I no longer "have been here for 10 years". It's somehow been over 20.

>>719261815

>You realize they were just people doing the best they could figuring things out
That's true, and I've been aware of that since hs at least. Most people are just trying their best. In my case, however, my parents were a mix of both. My father tried his best, grew up in a family of criminals and left them but kept his addictions and trauma with him his entire life, mother was just an outright abusive narcissist my father couldn't dare to leave. I'm currently tasked with breaking an intergenerational cycle of extreme violence and misery that most people never have to deal with, so whenever I hear what most people's drama with their parents it just seems so trivial
>Oh I don't like how much of a neat freak my parents are
>My parents are always so nosy about my business
>I just don't agree with my parents politically
>My parents have too many expectation and pressure me
My father would strangle me after going on cocaine benders and my mother was just a genuine psycho who almost killed me then threatened me if I went to the hospital or talked to cops about it which I still have very noticeable scars from.

Most people need to give their parents a break, having genuinely terrible parents is different from having differences with them as every individual will eventually

>>719257716
my mom keeps telling me to stop playing violent games whenever i visit them. One, i'm literally the calmest person i know and she knows this, i'm physically incapable of raising my voice or i'll get a sore throat and i never ever think of violence and whenever i point this out she drops the subject. Two, the only game i play these days is tf2 the most cartoony shit possible. Three: I'm fucking 25, i'm not getting radicalized by tf2. Sometimes i wish i still liked video games so they can atleast fill the void which cannot be filled with anything lately (not drawing, playing guitar/piano, graphic design, watching anime/tv shows/ movies, playing gaymes) I'm so utterly bored with life i'm just idly killing time until it's my time

We'll have to watch another generation or two to see if this really continues. There are a lot of metrics showing that while Millennials look younger than our Boomer parents, GenZ and beyond actually look older. Millennials were some of the few that grew up at a time before social media bullshit, when healthfulness was important, smoking was going down and vaping (especially constant, nicotine vaping) wasn't yet a thing, and we grew up with sunscreen and/or not going outside as much but still had 'freerange' childhoods (that also included coming home after school to play NES, SNES, PS1, N64 , and PC games ). Millennials are also some of those who have both the interest and (maybe, in some ways) the money to buy organic food, eat relatively healthful and take advantage of the options. The younger generations are having more medical problems earlier, even outside of better diagnosis. While some wealthy young people look younger (and of course its harder to discern this shit because now everything is social media edited etc. You see anons in /s/ talking about how after the 2000s you didn't see the same kind of authentic girl next door looks or goth girlfriends or whatever the fuck) , there's other stuff going on, and that';s before we get into weight, metabolism and the environmental bullshit that negatively affects people.

Its also important to note that a lot of the signals of youth, both for Milennials and especially for those younger comes down to clothing or aesthetic. Our generations were some of the first widespread recorded to keep the same hobbies, overall look or aesthetics along with a sort of nostalgia loop where younger and older people like some of the same things. This is not bad, but like... some younger 20s "tenderqueer" dressed like they're going to kindergarten is not really necessarily looking much younger, but the haircut , overalls and toy blocks make them look younger than if they were dressed "grown up".

>>719264208
Yeah that's a messed up situation. Good look breaking the cycle.

Odds are it wouldn't have changed anything. Social media was specifically designed to alienate people like you, anon. Sure, maybe you'd have more acquaintances, but friends? Normies, for lack of a better term, won't initiate a discussion with anyone except their closest friends. Very few things are important to them.
>Family
>Friends
>"Friends"
As a "friend" consider yourself lucky if they decide to humour you by responding to whatever message you concocted in order to attract their attention. Simply put, you will not develop a real human connection on social media. You might get close, but you'll never find what you're looking for.

Even if it's nearly impossible, finding like-minded people is always better. Don't let the system that was designed to disenfranchise you, keep you down. Good luck, anon.

Wasn't there a graph that showed that for most of recent history it was common for people to start having kids in their mid 20s. It wasn't until around the baby boom that the age dropped to late teens-early 20s.

>they very well might be but none of them have any users. it has proven utterly impossible to get another chan off the ground as long as this one is still around.
Yeah that's a big reason why they're not better. I can't see another chan taking off anytime soon, unless as a 4chan replacement if the site dies.

But maybe some other anonymous, account-free site that isn't an imageboard will take off.

Not very creative. Aight, whatever. Hope your daughter somehow grows up alright despite being raised by you.

>>719266078
I'm sure it never dropped to late teens. among my boomer parents (I'm in my 30s) it was considered an early marriage when the bride was just over 20. and you know they weren't having kids before marriage (an accidental pregnancy would lead to a forced early marriage preceding the actual birth of the child).
but yeah, I could see baby boomers for some reason marrying really young. I guess a good economy after a devastating war could do that. inspire couples to form early because there's a sense of "life is short" but also a sense of "we can buy a house before we're 30".

it seems like a logical step that the successor of 4chan would be a site that only hosts text. can't get shut down by the feds over child porn if they can't post child porn on your site to shut you down for it. (almost) don't have to pay for servers if you're only hosting text. the trick would be to still have visual content by making it really easy to embed from other sites. so users would upload their shit elsewhere, like they use imgur to post images on reddit for example. if they still do that. then embed all kinds of urls on the site. the only hurdle I could see is that a site like imgur could block being embedded on this site as they see it as stealing traffic from them sort of.

The way they do things and what they even think is possible much less beneficial has changed.

You're right. At least we can preserve the memory of things as best we can.

Wait until they hear about how 'DRM' for games worked in the early 1990's. It's still somewhere, I have the original box and contents for Romance of the Three Kingdoms II (released in 1989), where it came with three things inside it - a game manual, a 5 1/4 Floppy Disk to use to install the game on, and a small booklet with what pretty much looks like an excel spreadsheet with numbers and letters lining the first row and columns, and some numbers between them.

The DRM back in those days would be that either when you started playing the game or at a random time while playing it, the game would check to see if you had access to this excel spreadsheet-looking booklet by asking you to imput the numbers as listed under, for example, "Page 3, Row D, Column 23". You couldn't skip past this, so if you didn't have access to what it's asking for, your only choice would be to close down the game. In an attempt to prevent people trying to just copy the stuff via olden days cameras or if you were lucky, maybe your parents (or even your family) had access to one of those super early age photocopiers, the numbers you had to reference within the 'DRM booklet' was often in bright, shiny yellow colour that made it difficult to see properly sometimes unless you angled the booklet against lighting or go to a semi-dark room to read it.

This was during the age when everyone was still on dial-up and BBS, and gamers who got onto the internet of those days were only there to play those text-based BBS games (if you are a true boomer, you'd know exactly the sort of games I was talking about) and those 'anti-DRM crack' files didn't even exist yet, so even if you got your hands on the game illegally (via shops that copied and sold games on the side, especially old internet cafe centers) but it had that DRM system, you're pretty much out of luck if you didn't have the booklet to reference.

I'm actually surprised how close we got.

this the one I didn't think would happen any time soon, yet it happened like 4 years before 2027? ahead of schedule imo.
>celebrity plastic surgery actually got good all of a sudden
look up what lindsay lohan looks like now. this might be more of a Cyberpunk 2077 thing, the idea that you can swap out your whole face for a different one. either way it's crazy futuristic shit I didn't think would happen any time soon.

of course there's stuff we will never get irl like the invisibility cloak (would take way too much energy to produce that much light, basically covering a human in bright phone screens) or the explosive device that blows up everything around you without harming you (just impractical, dangerous and lacking a use case). what am I forgetting? I mean, do you want to live in a world where everybody gets limbs amputated and replaced with mechanical limbs that may be slightly better at niche functions? we could probably do that right now but who would want to?

other than some weapon gimmicks and body horror stuff we basically have all the ingredients for the world of DXHR right now. a corporation could create a specialized chatbot with a virtual body, name it Eliza and make it the face of their news channel. the police could use a giant tanky robot to shoot teargas canisters at protesters today. people do have prosthetic limbs that are controllable enough to drink from a glass etc. what's missing?

ill spare you from the usual platitudes and cliches. there's always limitations but do you think you can work with them? like there's some uncurable conditions that worsen a person's quality of life but we have ways of "adjusting" said afflictions so their lives can return to normal
im not going to lie to you and tell you that you can overcome whatever affects you. i really have no idea

Uhh okay. Has nothing to do with anything I'm talking about. Anywho, the HK threads have been horrible the past 3-5 years now. I think people are just bored or tired of the current jew system so they lash out or try to ragebait like they think (You)farming is a real thing people do, like that one avatarfag around here.It's all coming apart for most of these faggots. Get out of the cities and find a wife soon.

Fuck cancer man. On the somewhat bright side, I've started to seriously write. It's not a large target but I have a quota of 500 words a day which is roughly one page of letter paper. That, and I'm going to work on taking a trip to Europe for a bit too. I've also tried to reconnect with old online friends.
