Honestly the 00s weren't very fun to be a kid. Adult people were very stressed out by post-9/11 cultural change, everything was a lot more serious and darker than in previous decades.
It was a great era to be a teenager though. Everything was edgy as fuck, as teenagers like.

Christmas hasn't felt very good pretty much since I started working (10-15 years ago). Now I can just buy what I want, at any time of year. I also feel bad about making people spend money. You have to buy a bunch of gifts for everybody and it gets expensive.

you telling me it was hard being a kid post 9/11 when I was a kid post 9/11 and other than a bunch of movies like Kingdom of Heaven and 300 that were obvious iraq war analogs, life went on.
my grandfather grew up in italy during ww2 and my dad grew up in the 60s during the height of the cold war. and they weren't black so they were allowed to use water fountains!

I disagree. The 60s had honest to god actual racial prejudice, not today's pussy ass "microaggression" bullshit pushed by white college kids. On top of fearing the communists due to living in the peak of the cold war, they had to put up with polio about a decade ago which didn't give you flu symptoms like coronachan does but literally fucking paralyze you for life.

Overall modern times are much worse for people in terms of their morale and inferred reason to exist, etc... As well as the high chance you grow old alone with no spouse, no friends, and moving job to job. Culturally we are also decimated almost worldwide.
The 60's and other decades had their own issues though, and back then they didn't have the same amount of guaranteed quality of life or ease of existence. Now many are granted the ability to be shut-ins and dweebs and losers, back then yiu had to fit in and had to be normal or else you wouldn't make it and would be bullied or harrassed until you changed. There was also a great fear of catastrophic events, and people started waking up to the change in economy as well as society and how discontent was spreading while the fabric of the community, etc... was rotting. People realized that their hard work would only pay off for a little while but the future was probably fucked. Now people are just kind of used to it and don't give a shit about anything besides being entertained. Also now employees and students can bitch and moan about shit and be pieces of shit while often getting away with it, back then things were strict. Many people from today wouldn't make it back then, and I am thinking many people from then would lose their will to live after they got past all the 'cool shit' we have today.

Definitely still exists but it changed. Now it is much harder to make friends if you don't have any, or be accepted even if you are normal, but people are also more closed off into groups or isolated alone so alot of the time you can get by while being a total weirdo, and many people are pushed to accept that in terms of not overtly bullying you in the workplace or in front of the teacher, etc... so you see tons of skinny or fat dweebs walking around with no idea of how to dress or groom, video game and comic tattoos, etc... They are allowed to exist. The more materialistic nature of today also means that you can be a loser or wierdo but if you have what people want then you can lure people into hanging out with you.
Nowadays people in bars and clubs don't even socialize unless you have something they want, they just stay in their little groups unless you can have social value or bottle service, etc... Back in the day you could just talk to people anywhere, and didn't need to hunt for partners as much as school, family, work, church and the community helped you with that shit. But also you had to be normal and work hard to fit in with the group, which many now simply can't handle though they desperately desire it, they can't put aside their own ego and need to be 'special'.

If you can say ahead of time that "the games from my childhood were better" is ALWAYS false whenever anyone says it, then that implies that games have never gotten better or worse over time, which is ridiculous. People have stronger nostalgia overall for 4th and 5th gen for example than for 2nd gen, and it's because the games that were enabled by the advances in technology were objectively better and more appealing. Sometimes the grass really is greener.

I miss when the consoles were so fundamentally different from each other that exclusives were actually meaningful. Sometimes there was shit you could do on one console that COULDN'T BE DONE on the other one because of base differences in the architecture, hardware, and assembly language. Even ports of the same game from one console to another sometimes resulted in drastically different games. Now every console is just a fucking mid-tier PC in every possible sense and there's no reason not to just make every game available on every platform because all the hardware is identical and no one is coding in assembly anyway, it's all middleware game engines and shit.

Holy fuck SO MUCH THIS. I miss early 2010s, still able to score retro vidya for pennies, watching grainy 240p videos of AVGN, CGR and Happy Console Gamer on YouTube, still finding shrink wrapped 5th and 6th gen games on clearance sales, occasionally coming across retro coin-ops at the local bowling alley or pool hall ... retro gaming still felt like a fresh and fun and secret hobby before it went mainstream.

I think the summer of 2004 was the high point of my life. Everything was downhill from there. My grandmother had Alzheimer's and I decided to spend most of that summer at her home since she was beginning to get to the point where she needed some day to day help. But she wasn't so far gone that she wasn't herself anymore so I could still get her out for a few last enjoyable experiences.
She wasn't rich, but she had done quite well for herself so in a bit of a morally questionable move I may have taken advantage of that to get myself an xbox along with a few other things, though she always enjoyed giving gifts so I imagine if she'd been more aware she would have enjoyed giving it to me. Spent most days hanging out with her, then stayed up all night to watch late night anime or play Kotor/PGR2. At one point while watching me play PGR she asked 'how it worked', so I explained the controls and spent the next hour watching her do hot-laps around the test track in an M3 and having the time of her life. Looking back I kinda wish i'd been hit by a bus the day before school started back up that year.

>Thanks, Xbox
I wouldn't blame the xbox, that thing basically proved to the world that a consolised PC was an unprofitable mess. That today's consoles are using PC derived parts is because they are the only ones left standing after all the alternatives gave up and either stopped producing, went super low power or super high end. Blame Intel for strongarming businesses into going 100% Wintel leaving Motorolla 68k, IBM PowerPC and all the others from Hitachi, NEC, DEC, etc. to wither and die.

This. It was even better around 2005 because that's when gamestop liquidated their 5th gen stock, so you could get a ton of 5th gen games for pennies. Fucking faggots threw out the cases for the PS1 games though. The 6th gen never saw anything like that because suddenly retro was picking up, but you could still get games for 1/10th of what they are today. Still leagues better than the cancer we have today. The retro gamestore near my house use to be lined with gold. I would buy shit everytime I went in there. Now it's literally just sports games or that 1 super popular game with the original box locked behind a glass case with a +$100 price tag.
