Stuff that makes you feel old

[JULAY]

I wager a lot of people here will feel pretty damn old this September.

Bah, 9/11 was a hoax perepetrated by the Jews and Bush, but not necessarily in that order.

That doesn’t correlate to people not feeling old because it happened two decades ago. I remember that day vividly, hoax or not.

All the grey hairs on my head. About 80% of my beard is now grey.

The fact that we didn't get internet access until I was a teenager

My first gaming console was the Atari

First computer was the Apple II with the green and black screen

Used to go to arcades all the time. I have a huge library of games on MAME.

All the first albums I got were on vinyl

I'm kind of surprised we have people who are 40 or older here. I've imagined most here are in late high school to mid 30s.

At the time of the founding of the chans I was only mid 20s

Oldsters can enjoy lulz too, ya know. Plus, plenty of us want a forum we can say nigger in peace on.

waking up...

I was reduced to AM/FM radio the other day and had "classic rock" on normally plays boomer shit that I mostly like, but they put on early 00s U2.

 

[Inflatable Julay]

I remember when we didn't have to wear masks


I remember oldies radio, like 50s-60s FM channels

 

[Thomas Highway]

Random body pains.

Y'all need more visceral problems and less existential ones.

 

[Madre Muerte]

Ahoy! Magazine

 

[Goofy Logic]

What made me feel old was a couple years back, when I said to someone that Lemmings was a Rockstar Games title, and they responded with "what's Lemmings?"

Oh, it was just the one game I played the crap out of when I was a little kid. I'll be over here with the prune juice and Metamucil.

Oh, I have those, too. I just bitch enough at home that my wife and kids are tired of hearing it, so I assumed strangers online would be even more reticent to hear about my aches and pains.

Lucky you, had them start before needed to shave.

I rewatched an anime called bleach. recently The sheer feeling of nostalgia that hit me when the opening started was spine tingling and depressing at the same time. Really hammering home how long ago it was with how distant it felt.
Considering I don't normally rewatch old stuff ya, that shit was surreal.

 

[Big Ruski]

Even when I wish you'd get deported every time you weren't on my team, you were still a real nigga, adios amigo.

 

[Jet Fuel Johnny]

I remember running home from the bus stop to make it in time to see Star Blazers.

I had a job when Transformers OG series was on TV, same with He-Man.

I can remember everyone sitting around to watch the Charlie Brown holiday specials on the holidays.

 

[The Last Stand]

When I was a kid, I remember AOL and dial up.

 

[Hollywood Hitler]

POGs, SNES, Tyson biting Holyfield's ear, renting VHS over the weekends.

 

[The Curmudgeon]

Just within the last decade, it feels like everything changed too fast! Sometimes, it doesn't even feel like I live in the country or world anymore. I'm only in my late thirties, but some of the trends, fads, or customs these days make me feel like I'm in my sixties. I'm cool with getting older too, but it still feels weird how drastically our culture has changed in such a short time.

 

[Smaug's Smokey Hole]

The old "Is there any new game, in any genre, that is decent?" vs the new "I spent a total of $2.37 and now I have 3,000 unplayed games on Steam and I'm bored"

 

[Sperghetti]

When people mention having cellphones or Facebook accounts when they were in high school.

Listening to other people wax nostalgic about things from their childhood and realizing that the object of their nostalgia was current when I was in college.

Realizing that some sort of media that I think of as being fairly new is actually 10-15 years old.
