Yep checks out

At what point did this zoomer/boomer shit start?
Remember when we were all anon and newfags got called out on being newfags and we weren't so caught up how old you are it was all for teh lulz and niggering the captcha and people lurked before posting and contributing something fresh actually meant something?

"Elitism" and "gatekeeping" became taboo.

it happened for the same reason any fad happens on 4chan. It got attention when people posted it--lots of replies and posts. So the attention seekers learned to use it more.

i think every zoomer who plays sonic 1 is just as aware of marble as green hill

it really is disingenuous to act like its as good as the latter though. even if you know how to skip the boring parts its still a much more linear set of acts than anything before or after in the game

Zoomer/boomer is effectively just newfag/oldfag, most people started browsing the site in their teens.

Niggering the captcha, for instance, makes me think you're a complete fucking newfag, because you were browsing /b/ when the fucking captcha hit. But who knows these days, coming to 4chan in 2012 probably means you're a "boomer" in the eyes of half the literal children here today.

The younger generation has always been reviled by their elders, but nowhere is the effect more pronounced than in the digital age. While there are probably still some 20-25 year olds here who had a "traditional" childhood of being kicked out of the house, having water fights, and building treehouses and secret bases in the woods, most of these kids either come from poor/strict households, or third world countries.

The cultural divide between people who spent their formative years online, and those who didn't, is massive.

I remember it started with the "30-year old boomer" meme and then 30+ year olds got butthurt and responded with "zoomer".

More like the zoomer character was a friendly banter response and zoomers took it personal.
I also like how zoomer sounds like summer.

Marble Zone isn't the filter. Labyrinth Zone is.

Right about the time zoomers decided they wanted to be the video game equivalent of those kiddos who leave "My music sucks! I was born in the wrong generation!" comments on every music video made before 1986. If this wasn't bad enough, they started coming here to larp because it's an anonymous environment. And, like every lie told repeatedly, a lot of them started to actually believe that they were born in the seventies and grew up around this stuff when it was new. They didn't, and their interest isn't actually in old video games, it's in retrofetishism and collecting plastic in the hopes of fitting in and impressing their parents and/or peers with how mature and sophisticated they are for liking old crap. My generation had these, too. Kids obsessed with either the "Rat Pack" or "Sha Na Na", fetishizing some version of the 1950s that only existed in their minds.

Their "hot takes" on the eighties, whether vidya or culture, are often comically wrong and the obvious result of someone who had the benefit of growing up after the time in question and being able to look at it from the outside of the bubble. Comically wrong becomes absolutely fucking hilarious when they're parroting something they saw on Youtube, or trying to defend it when it inevitably gets called out as horseshit.

Really, throwing around the term "zoomer" is nothing more than a gentle reminder that they're larping when they get too carried away.

Yeah but labyrinth would filter boomer kids back in the day too, it's a legit filter zone that's meant to teach kids to be patient. It's reasonable.
The hate zoomers get for Marble is bonkers.

The jumping in sonic games is a little weird compared to its contemporaries, and that throws some folks off.
Also, Sonic having no save system and limited lives vs. Mario makes it tougher than other mascot platformers.

[Anonymous No.7025902]

>>7025891
The problem zoomers have with Sonic isn't the jumping, it's the fact they're not all rollercoaster-style levels and actually have some platforming.
Also Sonic 1 has the level select code.

[Anonymous No.7025924]

>>7025902
That was never my issue though, being an earlier millennifaggot.
Jumping platform to platform in Sonic 1 and 2 feels much more dangerous than in something like Mega Man or Mario or Adv. Island. It unnerves me more, upping the difficulty.
My only real complaint with the games though is that limited lives shit. When you beat a zone, that should be a continue point, if you're gonna cheap out on a battery save system.
Even Ghouls n Ghosts and Castlevanias have continues. And they're harder than Sonic games.

Not that anon, but thinking about the captcha is making me remember when I first started lurking this site, the board I was on was being spammed to hell and back with some weird adult ads for some site I don't really remember anymore. This was before the spam that caused the captcha to be implemented.

This has unironically been me since I got my genesis 26 years ago. I still enjoy the classic Sonic games, I just suck.

The portion over the water where if you fall you end up back at the rotating stairs part straight up filtered me for 20 years, and to this day still usually takes me a few tries. And the boss is a pain in the ass because I can’t into bouncing.

Man I don't know if people are just inventing trolls at this stage. There are two ways you can cross on those boards - you can walk at precisely the right time or you can jump from one to the other. It takes a few tries for sure but it's no Nintendo hard part by any stretch.
