you could do both because the golden age was pretty short

>>723223049 (OP)
Both are better than whats going on now.

it was ironically easy af to do all those things back in the early 2000's simultaneously. You could've been some chud working at block buster part time, owned an apartment and had a girlfriend that'd watch you play final fantasy x

>>723223049 (OP)
correct

>>723223049 (OP)
This sounds like those dads from 30 years ago who swear they could have been rock stars if not for those darn kids and wife.

You did neither, OP

>>723223341
this but the exact opposite. back in the day playing vidya wasn't normalized by media yet, and especially in the US there were plenty of nutjob pseudoevangelical sects that created the old adage "vidya makes people violent". oberall back in the day nerds were real nerds, aka social outcasts with a penchant for niche hobbies, not normie geeks playing the last indies with also a real social life. you were either a nerd or a normie, there's no inbetween.

Feel like it's easier to play a videogame and have a social life than that.

playing mmorpgs in early 2000s implies you were an early internet user which means you had the ability to connect to thousands of people before it was the norm of today, making friends would be easy for you

kek, zoomers will never know the feel of being at a kegger and talking WoW with a bunch of strangers

>>723223049 (OP)
>you can only do either or!!
I feel sorry for you faggot

>>723223341
I was an assistant store manager at Blockbuster in the early 2000s making like 28k a year and I felt way richer than I do now with a """""career""""
and my job is way less fun too

>>723223049 (OP)
you can't go back

No single player game has come close to the enjoyment I got from 00s MMOs

>>723223049 (OP)
who are you even quoting you schizoid fuck

>>723224687
not the piece of shit in your image, that's for sure, Gaylo fag

>>723223049 (OP)
i did both back then and i would say playing wow with my brother and my friends rests closer to my heart than any girl i fucked
and since i'm old now everything sucks kind of anyway or let's say lost it's edge
from sex to wow classic nothing feels quiet the same anymore than when you first had it

Normalfags always be like "Yeah lol everything sucks so bad haha" but then they throw a shitfit when i say im going to kill myself
Youre all so stupid

>>723223049 (OP)
you can party any time. the golden age of the internet was brief and will never be experienced again in human history.

If you're dead your taxes can't go to useless eaters imported from all over the world to replace you

>>723223049 (OP)
I was doing all of it, mmo gaming at a net cafe with the same people almost everyday for 2 years best time of my life

>>723225415
they don't tho. it's your mom and dad that want that, the average normie couldn't care less if you hang yourself in front of them, so long as that doesn't affect them personally.

>>723223049 (OP)
unironically yes. the normie millennial is now 35, his young good looks are gone and if he managed to get a good job and a wife it's all considered above average achievements nowadays. and even then, he's faced with the reality of long term cohexistence, raising children, the almost nonexistant prospects of career advancement and the ever increasing cost of life. the only solace for him are video games where he can pretend to be a dumb teenager again, but now the servers are empty, the chats are on discord, everyone is either a bot or chinese/russian tryhards, the games themselves are turned from monthly subscriptions to f2p with microtransactions, and everything feels extremely janky and repetitive by 2020s standards. you'll never experience that level of immersiona and sociality again, all you have is your miserable real life that will get even more miserable from then on.
