It's literally me (minus smash bros cos who plays that trash)

'95 zoomer

wow people keep on coming up with such nice ways of saying "I'm 30 years old". I think this beats out "Yea, I've been around in the scene for a while haha"

My way of choice is to say "I feel old" when people mention something they enjoyed as a kid that came out when I was an adult. For example the phrases "my childhood Nintendo Switch" or "I couldn't vote when Trump was elected" make my back hurt.
- That's different though, the people your age are so devoid of hope for the future that y'all aesthetics loop back around to early 2000s or even earlier because that's the last time technology was viewed in a good way for the future and y'all yearn for that
  See: re-emergence of y2k culture, Sanrio, cassette tapes, etc.
- In terms of videogames, this generation of games was one of the last to not have internet connectivity as a rule. Given the predatory practices the internet has enabled, I don’t think their resurgence is a coincidence.

melee is an incredibly deep game and has provided me with far more replay value than yugioh or purple heinz

I do not find the smash games after melee all that fun, Melee was something else and Sakurai watering down the gameplay for the sake of the casual gamer (despite the fact that Melee was mega popular with casual gamers already) makes me unreasonably upset.
- the only boomer opinion I allow myself to have is getting kinda slightly mad about modern smash fans claiming it's basically the same as classic format, in-depth fighting games. I don't like melee but the mechanics and execution there are way closer than the others (which are admittedly very fun party games).
- Ultimate has finally backtracked far enough from the balloon-slapping physics of Brawl that I don't mind anymore. It's no Melee but it's at least a reliably fun party game again, which is all I ask of it.
- come on, you don't like everybody being here in ult?
I'm too cool for smash. All the cool kids played Tekken

I'm so glad I transitioned

That's not a thought I needed to have inserted into my brain

If you can't waveshine with Fox then are you even a zillennial?

Linkin Park is underrated

Look at least I think all the age groups can agree that the GBA SP was a masterpiece of tech, look at that beautiful folding, backlit, rechargable marvel

As an elder, I got the retro-Nintendo version. Perfection.
I already have a more powerful handheld but the anbernic rg35xxsp is just so sexy

This is the guy that bought you some cigarettes

I don't really relate to most of this stuff. Idk, I started Pokemon later during the DS Lite era.

I hate not being able to relate to anybody.

nah same - first pokemon I actually played any amount of was platinum
- It was Pearl for me but, Platinum was way better. Emerald was great too.

I can relate to most of it except "2005 was lit." The whole Bush years were trash. That's why everyone was upset and listening to Linkin Park/ System of a Down.

But we got to “Rock Against Bush”, twice!

do it coward

Anyone want to join my FFXI linkshell?

i'm 20, and my early elementary experience was everything from gameboys and 90s pokemon to mario galaxy and adventure time to angry birds and youtube poop MLG brainrot. the gameboy because my parents couldn't afford a DS til i was 6, and 90s shows because my i got a tablet in 2nd grade and netflix/youtube had a lot of 90s shit.

Literally me too but why hate smash it's nice with friends

14.4k modem vibes

Blasphemy

Oh god it's me. Just replace the Pokemon trilogy with the Need For Speed trilogy. I'm only in my mid 20s I don't deserve to be called out like this...

Oblivion

no

I love the beginning of the game it has such a weird dreamlike quality to it. Then I get to closing oblivion gates and quit

I loved those albums, but I was usually listening while playing Perfect Dark.

I remember my friend lending me his Toxicity CD when my dad dropped him off, listening to it in the car on the way home, and having my mind blown. Besides being the most aggressive music I'd ever heard, it was my first exposure to overtly political music; the album opens with Prison Song, which dispenses with any sort of metaphor and is a straight-up polemic, introducing me to the effects of the drug war and CIA drug trafficking and regime change.
