I miss the old walking dead comic with it's grim exciting story and likeable characters before it devolved into another boring mess with nice artwork. In fact i miss good comics in general, There was only 2 good comics from image (The Realm, East of West) and 1 readable comic from marvel (daredevil) last year and i hate how anything worth reading is buried under mountains of rubbish.
I miss the feeling of excitement of saving up for a mortgage on a house with your partner so you can finally feel like you've found a place in life, before you fuck everything up and you're left right back where you started when they leave because you're so autistic.
I also miss when the UK didn't embarrass themselves so much so whenever you go online all you can see is people laughing and calling the whole country worthless and shit when the actions of 50 people represent a country of millions.

How dare you, that's a global tragedy right there
 
I miss back when comics were more popular so the companies could focus on making genuinely enjoyable stories due to the market actually being profitable and stable. Nowadays it seems like every new issue is nothing but pandering and publicity stunts, and most of the ones that are halfway decent are so poorly written that it’s a chore to slog through them. Sure, there actually are some good ones here and there, but usually the good story arcs don’t last long so it’s like I get a taste of what used to be before it shifts back to mediocrity. Now it’s like the only way I can actually enjoy seeing the old heroes I looked up to as a kid is by watching the never-ending stream of MCU and DCU movies that get churned out every year, which is okay but it just doesn’t have the same feel y’know?

I also miss the days before YouTube and meme humor became mainstream and shows actually put forth effort to make original jokes.

Remember when official websites for products were pretty much just ads for them? Being online in the first place was a novelty itself. Big companies also had "AOL keywords." And then there was advertising in Windows desktops and start menus with links to stuff like Disney, ESPN, and Warner Bros. Which probably just led to more ads.

I don't miss popup and ad blockers being in the future, and internet searches always leading to irrelevant results like gambling sites. But aside from the crap, the early Internet was still a fun place. @Y2K Baby

Mythbusters. Before they got rid of the build team, before they tried to reboot it with some literal whos, and before Adam became a faggy lefty Twitter whiner. That Mythbusters.
 
When the internet was more obscure and not so widespread. There's a certain charm to it. Same with video games. I'm tired of everything being online. I think online gaming has ruin vidya. Fallout 76 was just a disappointment. You'd think the idea would be great but its execution was bad. Now I play it because I put so much cash into buying it. I'm gonna stick with vintage games from now on. There's a certain charm of picking up a game like say like A Link to the Past or Turtles in Time and not having to worry about your gamer score being seen by others. Or being called a nigger faggot bitch by a kid.
 
I miss my dog that died a few years ago.

Cradling him in my arms as he was put to sleep was single-handedly the worst experience of my life and I've had to stop a friend from hanging himself.

Fucking miss you, boy.

RIP Pip

Ah man I don't have a permission slip for this feel trip, bro. I forgot about all the pets I had to put to sleep. Now I'm gonna break my diet and eat an entire large pizza and cry.

Real talk - right there with ya. Cheers, guy. Save me a slice?
 
I miss the days when buying a product, particularly a game but this trend isn't exclusive to the games industry, was simply buying a product and not entering into a bizarre and slightly needy pseudo relationship with the manufacturer. I hate that you can't just buy something and not be constantly hounded by online features. Secondhand games with dead servers are the worst, the single player can be great but it's spoiled by the game constantly encouraging you to connect to the internet to servers that don't exist for online functionality you don't want.

Seriously this. Fuck I just want to kill some people online to retard my murderous rage, I don't need a cyber girlfriend who doesn't stop bitching and never blows me. I pay whores for that. All women are whores....
 
I miss when people came to see you/you visit them more regularly and not seeing NPC's taking photos of their coffee as if someone actually cared. I remember seeing a gif on here of a girl who couldn't have been older than three poking at a game boy screen like a tablet, and that struck me as pretty depressing.

Despite being 90's spawn I grew up without a mobile phone or a PC. My family wasn't against them, it just wasn't something everyone had/needed/wanted until the mid/late 00's. I think I was lucky seeing as I run across people near my own age on a near daily basis with zero social skills or awareness thereof.

I never realized it until now that I would play some games just to get a trophy. I sat there and really reflected on how utterly stupid it was. I should play games for enjoyment and escapism, not to show off. I wish I could go back to the 90's. When the mama sang us to sleep and now we're stressed out.
