When people talk about "shooting games" or "FPSes" and its shit like Valorant, Apex Legends or Fortnite and not Quake, Unreal Tournament or Counter Strike.

U dam whippersnappers! We couldn't build our own cover! We had to learn how to missile jump just to have a chance in Quake! And we liked it! We loved it!

Hearing about friends from high school, who were just a few years older, suddenly dropping dead. Or finding out that other friends are already grandparents. Granted, they started having kids when they were 18, but it's still a reminder that I'm getting older. It doesn't suck, it's just.... Sobering.

When you shake your head because all you hear about in the media is ‘diversity’, but the radio only plays slight variations on the following music:
-Shake booty in dem club (hip hop)
-Ooh girl you broke my heart and I’m sad (whiny white guy acoustic)
-Big pussy power (hip hop again)
-Some auto tuned shit by Whocares feat. 16 other label drones without enough talent to prop up a single on their own (dance/hip hop)
-Completely computer generated song with 50 choruses and 2 verses (pop)

No rock, no metal, no indie, no ska, no punk, very few tracks played on actual instruments, almost nothing performed by people that write and perform their own music.

When I listen to music on the radio now I listen to a channel called ‘Kink’ from the Netherlands. Not because I sprechen sie Swamp German, but just because if I want to hear a wide range of contemporary music from the last 20 years they’re the best option I’ve found so far.

What the fuck do you mean "aim down the sights"? And why does the FOV slider only go to 120? How am I supposed to see anything?

Don’t know if I’d count this as a feeling old thing or a “the retards I deal with” thing, but I’m seeing more and more people who tell me that they flat out refuse to watch any show or play any video game from before a certain time point. My brother’s girlfriend is 27 and she refuses to watch any movie made before 1995. My brother himself is 28 and refuses to try any video games made before the PS2 era. Both of their reasons are “because those movies/games are too old and must suck”

I get irrationally angry over this and have caught myself unironically thinking something to the effect of “damn retard kids wouldn’t know what good was if it kicked them in the teeth”

Also known as the moment you realized the all bran commercials you saw on tv as a kid were on to something and you appreciate why your grandparents always spoke highly of it

That said i've got a real good one - suddenly realizing that a color pc printer when I was a kid involved 16 colors and if you wanted anything not included in that you had to use one of those archaic foil printers

and of course back in the day lots of people thought 3d video cards *cough* voodoo 3dfx *cough* were a fad and nobody would ever really need any kind of 3d video card

or back when I got some pc magazine as a kid during a ferry ride and it advertised the 'information super highway' non ironically and only listed about half a dozen or so things you could use it for

or when marketing speds didn't sanitize things they put out there for games as much so PC gamer ended up putting out that famous ad where they described the mmo meridian 59 like this:
meridian.jpg

Oh what I would give to see fortnite or WoW put out an ad like that today

The youngest veterans of the Persian gulf war are now in their 50s.
About as much time has passed between us and the 6th console generation (ps2, gamecube, dreamcast, original xbox) as the time between that generation and the 2nd console generation (atari 2600).
The original version of the Kaiserreich mod for hoi2 is as old enough to be a senior in high school.
Youtube is now seen as an old website.
The star wars prequel trillogy are now as old today as was how old the original trilogy were when they came out.
I use to remember a much more freer internet.
Most 2000s bands and music groups are now mostly forgotten.

I'm not ancient as some of the dinosaurs on this forum, but I miss the days where we could crack jokes at everyone's expense. Black, white, republican, democratic, no one gave a fuck and moved on with their lives.

Now we say anything that's remotely racist, ageist, sexist, transphobic, etc. and we're cancelled. No one's having fun anymore.

I hate current year.
