I used to, I still have my game disc collection wasting away in a disc album, those unwieldy boxes. I've converted all of them to isos and use them now, it's still a bit of a pain in the ass cause of hard-coded autorun, encrypted data and copy protection but great experience nonetheless.

A year or two ago, some Patposter was texting Fat as "LIZARD KING", which is probably some D&D monster but it reminded me of a gamebook (and others from the same author) I used to read as a kid when staying with my grandmother at the countryside.

Years ago (I'm guessing a decade by this point) I bought the full fighting fantasy collection from Amazon for like £40. Aside from inferior cover art, the contents seems to be unchanged.

Old ass console emulators
VHS tapes
Brick phones that can literally lasts millions of years
MS-DOS
WinXP, 7, 2000, 98, 95, 3.1

Microsoft built-in games, especially Space Cadet Pinball
The original Fate/Stay Night, Tsukihime VNs, Kara no Kyoukai novel, Gurren Lagann, Getter Robo, Devilman, old Gundam shit (especially MSG), Nadesico, Fate/EXTRA and CCC, KanColle, Kamen Rider, Godzilla, Clannad, Air, OS-tan, Xenosaga, rarely ever Tom and Jerry; Tenchi Muyou, Slayers, To Heart, WarioWare Touched!!, Arcade/3D Era MK, Vampire (Darkstalkers), old Tokusatsu titles I do not bother to list, Konami Mecha Musume, FF1~9, Ragnarok Online, Mabinogi, TERA Online; rarely ever Sonic; NES, SNES, 64 and DS Mario/Kirby/Zelda/Metroid titles; Touhou (2001~2013); Black Lagoon, Melty Blood that is not even MBTL; Gegege no Kitarou; Blazblue; GachiMuchi and Inmu; Code Gayass, or just any titles that involve mechs, sci-fi or some shit I am too lazy to elaborate further.

tl;dr for those titles: I have other old tranime slops that I liked that are not infected by lolcows, but still autistic nontheless for a filthy otaku. Those are what I fucking liked the most, especially when it comes to me being a lazy gamer and artfag. I also enjoyed emulation of any OSes a lot too. Not a big fan of shounen, but I fucking love mechs and I am not retarded to the point I would list more autistic shit.

edit: grammar and some shit bits

From my understanding Matt Groneing kinda turned out of all the production of The Simpsons around the 2nd Futurama return
Click to expand...
In actual fact, he started tuning out around season 6, when Fox forced him to do a crossover episode with The Critic. He demanded they take his producer credit off for that episode. He had completely checked out by season 9, when Futurama was about to start airing, and had handed control over to Mike Scully, which is why the quality took a precipitous nosedive going into season 10. Scully couldn't comprehend the idea of a family sitcom that happened to be animated and turned the show into a full-on children's cartoon.

Man, now I miss alt.tv.simpsons again. That is not a good sign.

The "8 bit pixel art" is one of these that instantly sets me off. If only for the simple fact that for kids nowadays, apparently "pixelated graphics and sprites = ZOMG 8 bit!!1!!2!!" to zoomers. I personally blame all of the idiot Minecraft shill types for this. Don't get me wrong, the aesthetic is neat, and I can appreciate the creativity of some of the handmade art and things like that, but it does make me cringe when a kid sees something like this:
View attachment 5699686
and goes "OMG that's 8 bit!" It's like, c'mon, I was there, other than the mushroom power up, Goomba, block and pipe, none of the rest of the design was ever even possible on an original 8 bit NES system, even with the later games with built-in accelerator chips. Later SNES and Genesis era, sure, but not anything from the actual 8 bit era. And when you try to tell or show them actual games they just roll their eyes at you or refuse to believe it, because the broccoli-haired ziddiot on Jewtube or TikTok said so...🙄 /sperg over.

This is one of the examples I was thinking of. Even just things like claiming games have “retro graphics” because they used some pixel art, but all the animations are too many frames, everything moves incorrectly, and there’s generally a bunch of subtle technical anachronisms that make it glaringly obvious the game was made last year.

It’s kind of like your grandma calling any video game console “a nintendo”, but coming from the other end of the age spectrum.

A weird thing for me, personally, is that kids today have access to more entertainment than possibly any other generation of humans in history, but none of them appear to have actually seen any films or TV shows.

I can't tell you how many times I've referenced something and got laughs or wry smiles or nods of recognition from everyone else in the room, only to receive confused, stony silence from the zoomer demographic. And these are not necessarily obscure things, either. These are things you would at least have heard of.

Like, how have you never seen Robocop? Or any of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies? I swear, I met one kid who had never seen the original Jurassic Park, which baffled me because they put that fucking film on TV literally every Christmas. That's a movie you can see just by being alive.

I’ll fully admit, I’m one of those people who’s never actually sat down and watched many of those “everyone has seen it” movies, but I still get the references to them because, like you said, cultural osmosis. There’s a whole generation that probably only got jokes/references to classic Hollywood stuff because of watching reruns of Looney Tunes.

That’s one of the great ironies of the modern day media landscape. We have easier access than ever to decades worth of media (even some fairly obscure stuff), but tons of people will still turn their nose up at it until somebody re-makes a “new” version for them.

When I was a kid I loved dinosaurs which also worked out to be around the time the original Jurassic Park came out. I got a VHS copy for Christmas one year and I played that mother fucker so much that the tape wore out and wouldn’t play anymore.

Kids now a days have so much media shoved in their face they’ll never experience that feeling of misery when your favorite movie won’t work anymore so you pester your parents to buy another copy at the local BestBuy.

Physically, I stood up after finishing my work overnight and my knees buckled. Absolute old man behavior.

I also felt extremely old because my soon to be nephew was completely flabbergasted by the sight of my old Gameboy Advance and asked me what it was. When he said he had never seen one before, I got a little misty eyed.

Old tech magazines, besides must making me feel old everything about them kinda makes me feel like at some point I transferred to a parallel dimension with a new alien culture.
-A physical magazine
-The high tech gadgets I yearned for that are now obvious garbage
-The shameless use of tits and ass on the font cover
-the variety and colour of cell phones and media player designs
-The optimism

Nothing about them feels like it belongs to our culture anymore.

"That pop in your knee when you get up aint going to get better faggot"​

Thanx for reminding me, FAGGOT!

Jaws 19 reminds me of their being 14 rocky movies in Spaceballs.​

Click to expand...
I think it was Rocky 5...THOUSAND! in Spaceballs.

Which brings me to John Candy. The fact that he's been dead for more than 30 years makes me sad. I used to watch movies with him all the time with my Dad and laff.
The guy was and is a legend. But Candy was so fat, so fat, he was barely 42 years old. He loved to eat and smoke cigs tho.

Stars that made good movies and died early during my own lifetime make me feel old. John Candy, Patrick Swayze, Luke Perry, Chris Farley...

Dude, same. I cannot get up out of bed, computer chair, etc without my entire body cracking and buckling. I can't think back to a time in my life when my body didn't ache in the mornings.

When I tell my grandchildren how we waited in long, long lines to see Jaws, Star Wars, Jurassic Park, and they don't grasp the fact that we waited in line to buy tickets.

"Why didn't you buy the tickets online, grandma? Couldn't you watch it at home on the same-day stream?"

Having all of my housework done, a cold can of Pepsi, a new pack of Marlboro Reds, the new Stephen King book, and the entire afternoon to myself was one of the parts about the 80s I will never forget.
