Yeah bro we all do. For me it was the feeling of experiencing a game or a movie with a massive sense of potential and wonder. Feeling like there was something mind blowing around every corner.
The flip side was that I didn't care much for mastery and I would give up on games more easily if I got stuck or frustrated. Now I can set my own goals and think about the way that I'm playing and make changes. When I quit a game it's usually because it seems too derivative or repetitive, less than me being overwhelmed or lacking the knowledge to figure out a solution.

I also miss loving everything I saw on TV and getting scared shitless by the slightest hint of supernatural . That was a cool feeling

You were supposed to be inspired and make the next generation of games. Instead you sat on messages boards crying about the decline, so if anything this is your fault.
Seriously, you guys should get together, unironically "learn to code" and make a game

Why are so many millennials such enormous manchildren stuck in the 90's? Maybe I'd understand if fucking Pokemon, the most barebones JRPG, wasn't what was mindbreaking you, but the most mediocre games are fucking scripture that a certain subset of millennial gamers seem to live by. Playing the same games again and again, buying remakes and remasters and bad official emulations on day one to relive the exact same experience again instead of trying something else. There's hundreds of amazing games for retro systems you've yet to check out but nostalgiafaggot retards just replay Ocarina of Time for the 20th time this month and then cry about how life never got any better than this. If your life never got better than Mariah Carey then you're fucked cunt

When I was a kid I had no money for games. Now I have money for games but have no time for games because of wife and work. I miss being a kid too.

I learned a few months ago (maybe around the start of summer) that it's not only retro gaming that I really enjoyed about my childhood but all of the other things I used to do like going to amusement parks, arcades, roller skating etc. For a while I was considering going skating again but just never got around to it. Retro gaming was just sort of central to it but there was all this other cool stuff going on around it at the same time. It's possible to recreate to some extent but it would take a lot more effort to fully capture the feeling.

Or according to some people you can just have kids on a whim with anyone and that magically fixes everything.

>>10198531
It depends. There are some things that are harder to do as an adult unless you have the right circle. Sometimes adults can be worse than kids with the way they treat each other as well.

I think whoever told you that probably couldn't express themselves properly. The joy of having kids is that you get to share everything that made you happy as a kid with them. I would have liked to have shown my kid the Master System I grew up with, the stupid cartoons I used to watch, and take them ice skating or to a theme park, but life didn't work out that way. I'm guessing you're in a similar situation because of how you phrased that?

This is going beyond /vr/ territory but I do feel like the idea of starting a family is highly idealized compared to what it actually is. Even the people who make it that far aren't always happy

I'd love to. I'm retarded and cant social network with people.
Every now and again I try to learn something, whether it's coding, or pixel art or 3D modelling, but I can't make a whole game on my own.

I see people post things similar to the shitposting OP and I try and nudge them in the right direction. Not saying they have to start a family, more trying to make them aware there are other options besides sitting on the computer and lamenting over their childhood

Everything just felt better in the 90's, because life didn't consist of drifting from one insanity from the next. You wouldn't get it if you're younger than like 27. You just think this is normal.
People of my age group have basically spent the past 15 years waiting for the world to get out of this horrible rut it's in, and it's just not happening.
It's not really about Pokemon.

I can't shut down twitter.
No one can at this point. Humanity's hunger for that mode of communication has overwhelmed everything. If it went down, five more platforms would crop up, and everyone would flock to them.
I can't stop outrage culture. I can't stop insane people's ideas being taken far too seriously. I can't stop the increasingly unsettling ways companies are getting inside people's heads and telling them how to behave. This is where we are now.
