They were great times. I remember in 2005 it still felt surreal to be playing an online game with other people on the map. I remember showing my dad Runescape back then, explaining to him that each pixel blob was a real human being and he could barely believe it.

The internet was not IRL back then, it was like a theme park if the theme park was in the wild wild west. Now it's just moralfag cable TV that you can talk back to.

You guys have no idea how good CRT displays are in comparison with LCDs for games. Today you need a thing like XG2431 with BFI and scanline emulator turned on and constant output of 50+ FPS to have a semblance of it.
>>
>>525840076
Depends on your priorities. You were exposed to more opinions because you couldn't lock yourself into an echochamber bubble as much as you can now. You could be a king or queen simply by owning a CD-RW drive and form a small cultural group by curating the taste of local masses. You could shit yourself and it didn't go viral. Not bad. But also, you couldn't get anything that wasn't local. You had limited horizon. You didn't know what you didn't know. You had to try, now algorithm feeds you because people want your money. Nobody cared in the past.

80's and 90's were awesome...as a kid in the 80's (11-20) the only thing around was AIDS. The 90's was pretty calm and quiet the biggest thing was the LA Riots and Clinton/Lewinsky.

9/11 is what royally screwed everything up, then 5 years later smart phones and mobile internet came along and finished the job.

This is true but the world has gotten so much worse compared to when anyone was young. Even the world prior to covid vs now is just in an entirely new low of hellishness. People who say “the world has always been this way” are niggercattle mouth breathing retards. The INTENT for the world to be this way has always been there, but it has NEVER manifested to be as acutely hellish as it is today.

Absolutely yes. My country was a wonderful place to live and work. The town in the upper Midwest I was born in used to be populated with White Americans and it was safe. Our local school district won awards and stuff. The farm crisis of the 80’s and 90’s happened, along with globalization. Most of the people died or moved away (myself included), and globohomo shipped in thousands of Somali and Mexican replacements. My second cousin still lives there, it’s a completely unrecognizable shithole.

much better but it felt just like the beginning of something amazing, a ramp up to something glorious, everyone was full of enthusiasm and then it gradually started to vanish, starting around mid 2000.

no one can explain why

we had faggots and transfaggots back then too, stupid slut whores, racists, fascists, pedophiles, corruption, climate change, propaganda and yet live was liveable, affordable, even conflicts were never that serious, there was never any despair, no black pill, hope filled our hearts to the brim, overflowing.

now, all gone.

It was orders of magnitudes better back then. It all fell apart the minute the internet was miniaturized and put in the pockets of everyone. That's when everyone started trying to go viral instead of being present in the moment. It's when people stopped getting together irl.
When the internet was 5 million different websites to explore life was better. Now everything centralized into the maybe 30 sites. Everything leads back to Twitter/X.
Bring back yahoo groups, the original flickr, stileproject, digg(even though it was a major contributor to the beginning of centralization).

no there are cycles of degeneration, ie educated people in the 1950s would be writing about how shit things are and reaching towards the Kali Yuga. We are just living further down the cycle of degeneration so previous cycles dont seem as bad as this one because there was still some aspect of truth that existed in the past that has since rotted away to facilitate the perpetuation of the system.

I'd imagine in the future if there is no public genetic modification technology we will likely see light skinnned mutts claiming to be white or transexuals using advanced technology to have children. You might even see pedophilia normalized or human trafficking normalized and you might think people are too smart for that but the reality is that if you keep people well fed, entertained, and some sense of pride in their lifestyle then they will go along with any propaganda the system puts forth.

The two issues therin lie as the elites who run the system can play any game they want in response to what the public will be receptive to, and #2 you have the braindead Lemming masses who will go along with anything.

Yes, because before the smartphone made the internet ubiquitous you could actually unplug yourself from the world's bullshit, live your life and just enjoy shit. I actually enjoyed participating in activities with others like concerts because people didn't constantly record everything for some lame social media post and were instead living in the moment. Even watching a movie with people sucks because they just can't help themselves to spoil the mood by bringing up their phone for some dopamine hit because their fried brains can't handle boredom for half a fucking second. People are way more retarded and secluded now because of it.
