/vr/ - Retro Games

What?

Anyway, Super Mario Land has some really cool locations and enemies, I love these chinese jumping zombies.

Get mad at people younger and happier than me.

Mario Land is good but I prefer 2.

Land 2 was a huge improvement, and it's still quirky, but Land 1 feels like it has a sort of darker theme to it, almost as if it's /x/'s super mario game.

Hard to say. I'm pretty young still.

Land 1 has probably the best mario soundtrack.
I like how virtually none of the assets from previous games were used, and very few made it into later games.

Try thinking of your life as a game. Maybe an open world MMO or whatever works for you. After you log out/shut off the console (die) it doesn't really matter what you've done, unless you've done really great or really terrible things.

This frees me up from social pressure and a lot of limiting ideas I had about myself, and made me think that even my contrarian "rebellious" ass was heavily conditioned by my society.

Ideas of "you're not gifted enough" to be successful as an artist and musician got washed away as I stopped giving a shit about being good at stuff and just did them to see what would happen. Like, "what happens if I drive off that big rock in GTA" feels the same as "why don't I try some cognitive science courses at college?" (I took 3-4 and am now working at a psych lab).

I think the sort of playfulness and experimentation that can be fostered in video games is very useful in real life now that we're not living in caves and trying to find berries and hunt woolly mammoth's and shit.

Feel free to change your beliefs about the world to see what happens.

Try adding in a line of new age bullshit code to your psyche that says "Everything that happens to me happens for a good reason."
I kept this thought in my head a lot a couple of years ago and helped a lot in helping me see opportunities in life and increase positive affect all while being genuinely agnostic about god and supernatural phenomena.


tl;dr maybe your life is a video game; try different shit and see what happens.

Actually this version's probably better. That one was uploaded like six years ago.

I'm 42 and still waiting for being old to get bad. So far it just gets better and better.

This, except now I can't fuck 19 year olds because they think I'm old.

>>2799948

You gotta find the ones with daddy issues bro

>>2799953
This. I fuck way more young girls than I did when I was young.

>>2797476
Super Mario Land is a pretty good cure for that. My father had a friend who had a Game Boy with only this game back in the days. I didn't understand as I thought SML to be forgetable then. Now I understand perfectly the magic of this thing.

>not undertaking an obsessive skincare regime to maintain your youthful face

>>2800067
Oh, I look young. Then they ask me how old I am, and anything 30+ turns them right off. Then again, I always go for the ditzy ones.

Mario Land is one of my favorite Mario games.

18 million copies sold, yet the game is almost obscure

>>2800069
Lie and tell them you're like 50 that's what I do. Throws them right the fuck off their guard.

Basically never give a sly the answer they were expecting to anything.

>>2799948
And they don't know who Aretha Franklin is.

>>2797476
I have the money to spend on whatever shit I want whenever I want. Also constant education.

>>2797476
I'm only 22. Also SML isn't that great beyond nostalgia.

>>2800224

>a kid born in the late 90s talking about nostalgia

>>2797479
>tfw everyone younger than me seems depressed and angry all the time

This must be what being 30 in the 90s felt like

>>2800249
I played it pretty young, but I cannot have nostalgia for it because that's for old people.

>>2800249
if being born in 93 is being born in late nineties, then what is being born in early nineties? 1962?

whoa

>>2800249
>an adult being this mad

>>2800249
>22 in 2015
>late 90's
Are you capable of basic math?

People like him are part of the reason I don't like to mention my age around here. I don't want to get lumped in with the other 40somethings here who all seem to act like bratty teenagers. It's embarrassing to even just read their posts.

>implying 30+ is old

>>2801395

how do you know that poster was 40something? did he mention it?

>>2801401

I think the logic is "anyone who is older than me is an old geezer".
I don't know what the issue is though, if you're old, it means you already were 15, or 20, or 25, and you're still alive. If you're 15 or 20, you don't know if you're gonna make it tomorrow.

NOT RETRO

>>2801425

To be honest, /vr/ is probably the board with the older people on 4chan, although we have young people mixed in too.

robot and adv are mostly teens and young adults.

Still, yeah, this isn't retro games at all, we should be discussing Super Mario Land instead.

>>2801420
There are at least a few old guys around here who despite coming to 4chan every day bitch constantly about anyone under the age of 35. Maybe he wasn't one of them, but I wouldn't be surprised.

>>2801420
>I think the logic is "anyone who is older than me is an old geezer".

Pretty much, in the shitposting sense of entitlement.

>If you're 15 or 20, you don't know if you're gonna make it tomorrow.

That's a really weird way to put it. But I guess sometimes I've thought about it with the people I know.

How old are the rest of you oldfags here? I'm 36, that's got to be up there.

>>2801453
I'm this guy >>2801395 >>2799812

One of the things I really like about /vr/ is the mix of ages we get here. But it is frustrating when someone who is or claims to be in their 30's or 40's calls everything they don't like faggoty or something similarly inane.

>>2801468

At least some of the people here are legit mentally ill in a big way. Don't let it get to you, fellow /vr/ bro.

I'm 27.

>>2801473
No question about that. STG thread says hi.

>>2801473

there's at least one in the shoot-em-up thread, probably multiple.

almost makes me wish this board had ip-hashed ids

>>2801453
35 here anon. You're not alone. 80's represent.

>>2801548
Word, brother.

>tfw genetically superior youthful genes

I'm 26 and was mistakened for a 21 year old the other day. Felt great.

>>2801575
>tfw 22 and mistaken for a 14 year old

>>2801575

Miranda Otto (Eowyn in LotR) looks functionally immortal. I still can't fucking believe she was ~40 in Two Towers.

>>2801582
40 year olds can look surprisingly young. My wife got carded at the liquor store this past weekend and our drinking age is 19.

I on the other hand have only ever been carded once and it was when I was in a group of people all getting checked. A waiter asked if I would like to see the wine list when I was having dinner with my parents once. I was 15.

This is the one I was looking for:

Don't believe it. She was 31 when she filmed those.

Fell into to obscurity again when 3D Land happened

No justice for SML

Some guy made an arrangement of the invincibility music.
