How do you cope with the fact that future generations will never know how good the internet was?
>>100190079The end is nigh. I don't need to cope.
>>100190079zoombies and gen omega will only tiktok
>>100190127They know Newgrounds from FNF
>>100190079>minigaymes onlineI think they can live without
Thank god I was never a newgrounds redditor. It always sounded off to me and I always had a hunch that it was full of faggots like you.
>>100190079>How do you cope with the fact that future generations will never know how good the internet was?the pcs of my kids will emulate my growing up and the digital age in general, as they grow up year by year more games and cartoons will be unlocked allowing them to truly appreciate it all instead of giving them a tablet and installing fortnite on their pc day 1
>>100190197You have to be at least 18 to post on this site
>>100190234I use miniclips. We are not the same.
>>100190254its miniclip, you fucking retardshouldn't you be paying attention in highschool right now?
>>100190254You're not beating the allegations of being 14 like that.
>>100190079The internet was never good
>>100190276Ok. It's too old I forgot its name. >>100190280Anyway. Newgrounds users are redditor faggots. You two just proved my point. No argument needed.
>>100190079How do you cope with being in your mid-20s and having nothing to show for it?
>>100190309>my point>we are not the samehurr durr
>>100190254shittyclip is dead tho NG took a huge shit on it like https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xturzz
>>100190325that's very passive agressive of you, come back when you learn to argue less like a woman
>>100190695Based
>>100190695>>100190793Interesting strategy.
>>100190079It's pleasing.Fuck em.
>>100190079also 'SomethingAwful' and 'FuckedCompany'
>>100190695Touche, anon
>>100190695BASED.
>>100190197>Thank god I was never a newgrounds redditor.I'm fairly certain newgrounds predated reddit by several years anon.
>>100190695burnt hard like being carpet bombed with napalm
>>100190079They will be told that the old internet was a racist wild west filled with white people and gatekeepers. Then they will extol the virtues of the Omninet, praising how diverse and inclusive it is.
>>100190197trying too hard to fit in
>newfags will never know the joys of an animated gif with giant text and looping sound
>>100190079Zoomers will nostalgiafag about it on TikTok and lie about having used it. They will flood the site with their zoomercore faggotry once they catch onto it, same as Neocities.>>100190695>Calls him a passive-aggressive faggot like a passive-aggressive faggotShould've just called him a nigger desu.
>>100190254Minishit was nowhere near as good as NG you pleb, it was just flash game dump #8432350 and didn't have original productions like NG did.
>How do you cope with the fact that future generations will never know how good the internet was?
>>100192842I WILL NOT MOVE WHEN FLAME WREATH IS CAST OR THE RAID BLOWS UP.
>>100190079Stop caring. It's out of your control anyway what the future generation will like.
>>100192560Racism on the early Internet was actually fun too, not the zero effort stormfag shit you see nowadays.
I don't know. How do you cope with the fact that future generations will never understand software as a logical thing that can be comprehended in full, but instead will only perceive it as an amorphous conglomeration of black magic, eventually leading into the forming of the tech priesthood?
>>100190079New grounds sucked, as i say this as someone who wore a new grounds sweatshirt in highschool in 2005.
>>100193132it didn't start sucking until 2007 when hordes of effeminate 13 year olds flooded in. Kind of like how zoombies flooded 4chan.
>>100190233How do you emulate the internet?
>>100192842>Rule 50: Another cat leads to Zippo Cat
>Man, life seemed to be better when I was young, simple child instead of a bitter jaded incel....I blame society
>>100190234in the early days of 4chan new grounds was seen how we see reddit now.t.oldfag knower
>>100194340I hate jaded losers as much as the next functioning adult, but the old Internet really was a lot more fun. Normies, by nature, are boring people.
>>100194473that's true but we don't need the same 10 "remember when thing good?" threads every day
MAN I'M SO GLAD THAT SOCIETY, THE ARTS, MUSIC AND TELEVISION ALL PEAKED WHEN I WAS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 3 AND 22
>>100194529The Internet unironically did. If you don't think this is the case you must be a zoomer, and you've started using the Internet after it has already been ruined.
>>100194492>weSpeak for yourself, stupid faggot.
>>100194975
>>100194529>>100195344uh oh tranny melty
>>100195344You must be young or very retarded if you deny something so obvious. It's not the same as music and television. The Internet went through genuine and permanent waves of change for the worse as it got more popular.The first one was the rise of phones with fully functional web browsers. One by one, you could see websites get redesigned to be phone first, with desktop computers as an afterthought. Lower information density, less information, designed less to solve your problem and more to keep retards clicking like a monkey in a behavioral psychology experiment. Forum comments also got worse as they were made less often by people spending dedicated time in front of their desktop computers and more often by normies in a queue, on a bus, etc.Then 4chan got ruined in 2016. Trump electionfags got online en masse to praise their leader, but they were so brainless and obnoxious that they started getting booted from everywhere else so they congregated on 4chan, resulting in the low IQ site it is now.Reddit followed shortly after, when it got redesigned to look like a fucking forum for primary schoolers with these retarded snoovatars, image replies, animations, You Dropped This, King awards. It really accelerated the replacement of Reddit's original userbase of techies with another kind of obnoxious and brainless politics junkies, constantly circlejerking about how everything bad is neoliberalism, all rich people are evil, and all conservatives are incels who hate women.Hacker News held out the longest, but I still saw it get ruined in 2019-2021 by the same leftist idiot horde as above.So yes, the good Internet is gone and you will never experience it. The technology is far better now but the people are incomparably worse. There are still a couple of unpopular good websites, but obviously I'm not going to mention them here.
>>100196526bro you're getting trolled

>>100190079Newgrounds was comfy as shit. It was one of my first introductions to hentai as a teen. Also had a few soulful animations and games.
>>100190079they never knew it so they don't know to mourn it
>>100196721>I'm Cosmo Kramer, the Assman

>>100194340You think this board is full of incels?
>>100194975Grow up man.
>>100197882>A singular focus
>>100196526>Then 4chan got ruined in 2016.Is it me, or was 2016 the DEFININING year of when it all went to shit?
>>100190127tiktok is getting banned in the US apparently.
>>100190233This is so fucking based. The one problem is the FOMO your kid would experience during school. So to counter that, you'd have to homeschool your kid I guess, but then you end up with a sheltered child.
>>100199222>Not a faggy short movie
>>100199274The world ended back in 2012.
>>100192842peak internet creativity
>>100193132Haha, I wore an NG shirt around 2002, too bad the owner deleted a bunch of content with that pathetic excuse that he was moving files and "lost" it, at least be a man and tell the truth...
>>100192691I'm not trying to fit in with you redditors.
It feels to me the biggest problems started happening when people went from long form (sitting behind their desktop) to posting on their phones (toilet break)
>>1001992742016 was the turning point, but in hindsight the signs were there in the years between 2008 and 2016.
I remember this game was banned in India I never got to play it
>>100190079because as an intellectual I know that history will repeat itself. humanity will wipe itself out again just like it has in the past, and then it will start all over again and the children thousands of years from now will be browsing a neo-newgrounds.
>>100199274>>100203112that's just the nostalgia cycle for you guys, for me it was 2006.
>>100199593Yet stupidity remains unbanned
>>100203332>2006pretty much, since around then is when reaction images became the norm.
>>100190079I miss that page, I got expelled from school for playing Kindergarten Shooter in computer class

Same way boomers do about sears magazine, I chill in the house I bought for cheap
>>100204636tl;dr
>>100194529we're not wrong though. you know deep in your rotten, black husk of a brain that we're completely and entirely correct and the mere thought drives you to suck your shotgun, hoping today may be the day you end it all, only for you to pussy out like the massive troon you are and to continue plaguing the existence of those around you
