Thinking they are rich, but in a 2008-retro wayTOP KEK!!!!!!!
>>544992803this is just manifestation of coping mechanism from growing up poor
>>544992803ok that is a really sad copeim 1900s billionaire guys!!!!!
>>544992803Some kiked out corporation can't delete or edit the media you paid for if you own a physical copy of it that can be ran locally. In 2026 everything is simply lent to you through the cloud and can be altered and removed without notice and without your permission and you won't be refunded and there will be nothing you can do about it, that's the point they're making, but of course OP is a fag.
Holy scat, what a cope. Even 50 BC rich had infinite free time and slaves. You are not rich unless you fully own your time and can enslave normalfags and exploit or even kill them for your goals.
>>544992803They have zero culture besides stealing culture from other millennials. Literal WE WUZZING niggers of a generation
>>544992803why zoomniggers hate milennials but steal their culture?
>>544992803Does this even work? Isn't retro stuff super expensive now? Especially the CRTs and consoles.
>>544992803No different to gen X and vinyl records
>>544993258They hate us cos they ain't us bruh
>>544993258they have no culture
>>544992803Looks comfy.I don't get all the criticism ITT.
>>544992803They’re the brokest niggers in recent history. Just give this one to them, man.
>>544992803Dear zoomers, my culture is not your TikTok trend. Please go back to your own zeitgeist such as Fortnite.
>>544993131Remember what they took from you...
>>544992803They're in a brand new house and rich.
>>544993131true but i have a xbox 360 which can die any day. cd's can get fucked up and i can't play them. i've lost countless cds from the late 90s which got scratched and are effectively dead. i pirate the tracks and play them as files. while it is true that others cannot ruin them or your access, it is still temporary. hopefully they outlast us.
>>544993459>Looks comfy.Only rich people who never worked use this term.
>>544992803Owning a home that large in 2026 makes you pretty rich. A lot richer than someone in 2008 in the same home. A lot.
>>544993299their parents' house had an attic and they kept their shit. all of my teenage things are in my parents attic. not every tv we ever had, but stereos from the 70s, a tv from the 90s, a tv from the 2010s.
>>544992803
>>544993784Why are you proud of being a poor slave?
>>544993935Rich people are so delusional.
>>544993912damn i miss those type of jeans
>>544994137yeah, wtf is it about not being able to buy comfy jeans anymore.
>>544992803My culture is not your costume, zoomies.
>>544993299That generation of tech is still in the "cheap old" category, before it reaches the "vintage collectible" stage. I sold some of my old video games a while back, and I got $180 for Pokemon LeafGreen alone, but I kept my Wii because the games are worth maybe $2 each.
>>544994376that's the thing - old games people want (like that Pokemon title) sell for a fortune
>>544994137NO, I miss those jeans. You Slav niggers stole mine when my boomer parents church assigned “displaced refugees” to our house during your stupid Balkan war. I want my Jordash jeans back Radic!

More "living in the wrong era/nostalgia" faggotry that for some reason always revolves around media.
>>544994483Here in Norway there are these "non-profit" containers that accept donations of old clothing to be given to the poor and needy, but not long ago it was revealed that all of that stuff ends up in the baltics where anything of value is sorted and sold on to second-hand stores in other slavshit countries. Their reasoning was that they would rather get money for it because it helps them be more efficient in their charity.Everything is a scam.
>>544992803Who is the cute girl with the car?
>>544994503Macroshit Wangblows 11 is total jeetware
>>544994843Lol, damn this kiked world to hell.
>>544992803Poor people had consoles in 2008. They were cheap.
Actually basedFaggot op threadslider kike
>>544992803That house looks comfy AF
>>544993912That shit probably cost $6-7k in the 90's. So about $20k now. How many people do you know with a $20k home AV system?
>>544993459Agreed. The faggots on /pol who go hateful apeshit on every topic , even insignificant threads, ruin life. This is why we cannot have nice things.
>>544993912Those were amenities many in the working class could afford in first world countries Sanjay.>>544995008Like the thread was made to convince someone that nu-slop isn't inferior to old slop.
>>544992803Its great I finally have some idiots to sell all my junk tooThat old Akira tshirt I have hanging in the back of my closet, theyre buying for $1000+ on ebayIve never seen anything like it man
>>544992803Looks comfy compared to the Canadian dream of owning a house at the tender age of 70.
Sorry zoomers, you're in Hell and don't even realize it.Hope none of you get de-personed and de-banked for saying "nigger" or "suicide" in front of your smart TV.
I like Gen Alpha because they ape millennial stuff (from their parents I guess) and it makes me comfy
>>544993131>>544993131Any physical copy you have of an old game can be emulated and copied repeatedly to be infinitely more secure for the indefinite future.You fell for nostalgia and consumerism.
>>544992803This is cool. Stop seething, niggers
>>544992803>kid toys>kid car What a hollow and empty lifeI wish such basic and fruitless endeavors brought me pleasure lmfaoOh well back to my productive hobbies, haha
>>544992803I don't get it. How is this shit politics?

>>544993195this, it is about if you have to do things for other people to get what you want or if they have to do things for you
>>544992803what’s causing zoomers to LARP as the millennials they claim to hate? Illiterate broccoli-haired cunts were still shitting in their diapers when millennials were growing up playing N64 and GBA lmao
>>544992803>giant house in a rich neighborhood>ps2 in pink instead of black (costs extra), complete with two pink controllers>huge ps2 game collection, with a stand>multiple pets>modified miata fitted with bodykit, custom rims and a wrap>can afford to buy racing gear and regularly go on the track>LE 2006 RICH NOT 2026 RICH HAHA SO QUIRKYjfc
>>544992803Based. New shit is garbage.
>>544995746Good luck with that when the internet goes offline and you're sitting there in the dark.
>>544992803Only piss-n-shit-huffing toxoplasmosis catfags delusionally view themselves as interesting main characters whose lives everyone else cares about. TCD.

>>544995593>the working class could afford in first world countrieslmao exactly. can the working class TODAY afford it, buck riley, of the trailer park oblast?
>>544993912This was normal where I lived. All that’s missing are the two tower speakers.
>>544994503Windows XP was based and comfy as fuck
>>544992803I'm 1929 rich
>>544993459yeah i was just thinking that. i mean shit i'm a zoomer and i have a bunch of new high quality expensive stuff as much as i have vintage or retro high quality stuff that is much less expensive now. i mean shit i have an sc-55 and a integra 7 on a rack side by side and my pc is top of the line but i still have my GBA atomic purple in a padded case somewhere from 20+ years ago.
>>544996266>Giving vs. not giving money to the jewIt's that simple. They don't get any shekels with your modded PS3.
>>544993912That's 90s above poverty.T. School poorkid that had that stuff
I can't hate them for trying. The world was better then. I wish I could've been my age now in say 1995, with a stable job, a wife. Even if I was middle class, life would be better because the world was better. Imagine decorating for Halloween. carving pumpkins. Getting candy because you knew on Saturday hundreds of kids would visit your house trick or treating. Yoshi's Island just came out, might play while the wife cooks dinner... I mean- zoomer retards! faggots! What a massive cope kek.
>>544995746>Any physical copy you have of an old game can be emulated and copied repeatedly to be infinitely more secure for the indefinite future.>Any physical copy you have of an old game can be emulated and copied repeatedly>Any physical copy you have of an old game>Any physical copyYou immediately invalidated your own argument from the very start. The physical copy is the source of everything that comes after it, it's not just muhstalgia and consumerism, it's literally the source material for infinite piracy. Emulation is fine but digital storage has proven to be even less reliable and permanent than physical storage in the long run. Everyone complains about degradation of physical media but all of my PS2 discs from 20 years ago still work, my N64 cartridges from 30 years ago still work, my xbox 360 discs from 15 years ago still work, meanwhile I have nothing from beyond 10 years ago that was stored digitally that's still usable. If you're not a retarded nigger who can't figure out how to put discs back in cases you can make discs last decades, and you can always just burn a new one. Anyone saying that you can't infinitely burn discs without loss of information is retarded because discs can last 20+ years if you take the bare minimum care for them. You'd need to burn a disc two, MAYBE three times in your entire life if you're not retarded, it'll be fine. I'm not against downloading your physical media and emulating it as well, but it certainly doesn't invalidate physical media's benefits in any way.
Weren't flat-screen TVs common even then? CRTs have more of a 90s/early 00s vibe to me.
>>544992803Shes gonna cheat
>>544992803None of that shit was "rich" in 2008 either, you stupid Zoomers. It honestly looks like a typical lower class trashy poorfag setup from 2008, if anything. The TV especially is total garbage. CRTs are objectively inferior in every way to flat screens. Zoomers are just retards who are nostalgic for a period of time they don't even remember. No one who actually remembers what life was like in 2008 is nostalgic for it, it was a shitty period of time and things just got worse from there.
>>545001107We had flat screens in my house by 2008 but only because my dad is kind of a home entertainment enthusiast. I know plenty of people who had CRTs up until the 2010s.
>>544992803All of that is 10x as expensive as their modern counterparts, retard-kun.
>>5450011692008 rich and CRT feels a bit off though. I remember getting rid of a CRT monitor in 2012 that felt ancient at that point, though not TV.
>>545001104>it's literally the source material for infinite piracywrong. it starts as an iso that gets burnt to the disc. do you think they literally etch the code onto some first, magical disc and then...copy that
>>544993459Sounds like someone living in the past.CONTEMPORIZEMAAAAAN
>>544996266Heh, the Japanese make my entertainment!
>>544995746>>545001104>>545001318Modern LLMs can decompile video games from the game disc and iso. It gives you completely serviceable source code that you can do whatever the fuck you want with.
>>544993104Your house wouldn't be a little shitbox but a 12 bed house with a courtyard and dining hall. They aren't even 2000 rich. 2000 rich would have at least two stories with a den and a living room, guest bathroom and an Escalade. Some entry level chinkmobile isnt rich by any standard. It's solidly middle class.
>>545001613okanyyways back to the actual discussion
will you stop hating on gen z for no reason
>>545001725this, choose any of the millions of reasons instead
>>545001107Depends on what kind for rich you were. 2008 rich means you could've had a 1080i Trinitron CRT if you were a really discerning consumer that was willing to spend the money. Or you could've gotten a 55 inch plasma, rather than an LCD. >>545001697Also yes they do make special magic discs
>>545001312Well, I guess in terms of 2008 RICH a CRT would be off. You'd need a plasma screen tv to really be 2008 rich, good luck finding one though.
>>545001725do you have a problem with our masterfully crafted distraction threads? you must be a foid/nigger/zoomer/boomer/chud/kikehere on 4chin we think jews are based.this is the quality of threads now.
>>545001781wow how did they burn that
>>544992803So what's your point? We grew up with this stuff. Isn't nostalgic reactionism what we wanted? I'm not even kidding. Why would I be in politics otherwise?
>>544992803I own some handhelds and physical copies of games, but it really is idiotic to pay so much for things you could play with a low end PC and Logitech gamepad. I bet these people were 7 when Obama left office.
>>545001846Well you see back in 1998 we had these things called hard drives which is a magnetic disc inside a metal case. See back in the days we'd write out code and save it on that disc and then burn it onto CDs.
>>544993233>>544993258We didn't "steal their culture", that was OUR culture. Their culture was Seinfeld and Friends, ours was goth and "rawr x3". Retards don't even measure generations correctly.
>>545001819I'm tired of intergen warfare. It exploded a decade ago out of nowhere and it hasn't slowed down. A never ending Tsunami of divide and conquer bullshit! In the OP zoomers are actually appreciating millenial culture so it's utterly pointless.
>>545001948oh so its not the source. the source is an iso on some hard drive
>>544994843Urban Outfitters used to go to clothes donations and resell the clothes. My friend Caleb worked there and they’d send him out to find free clothes and they’d even tell him to wash them at his apartment before bringing them in, and then they’d turn around and sell a free shirt for $50. He hated working there. Good Will is a rip off now too.
>>544992803Based
>>544992803Why is zoomer culture so performative? None of this seems authentic or genuine. It literally looks like what it is; some retard farming for likes and followers.
You do realize these dykes parents are rich
>>544993258Why millenials pretend they are Gen x. You are the biggest pussies I bet you still suck your thumb faggot.

>>544992803I was poor in 2008 and I had a Plasma TV
He’s gunna lay ya children down by the fya
>>544992803actually owning this stuff today means you're one of like 0.1% of zoomers, doesn't it?well yes that's what you then might see as rich?
>>544992803Lol zoomers are so weird man. The 2000’s werent even really good years. Games were mostly shit, music was mostly shit, internet was very limited. Some amazing films but most were meh and limited. Nostalgia fags are so cringe
>>545001312>>545001169>We had flat screens in my house by 2008 but only because my dad is kind of a home entertainment enthusiast.Most stores cleared out their CRTs in 2006 into early 2007. I had a ~10 year old CRT TV that died around that time. I wanted to save up money to buy a good flat screen but decided to buy just the cheapest possible TV to watch in the meantime. I went to Wal-Mart and they only had one CRT TV left in the store that was the smallest, crappiest, cheapest TV for people who needed a TV but wanted to spend the least amount of money possible. Not one model, one single TV. In all likelihood I was probably the last person to ever buy a CRT from that particular Wal-Mart.A big part of this was the digital TV transition that happened in the US in 2009. There was a big push to make people aware of this, at the same time that Blu-Rays and HDTV were becoming mainstream and common, so most people in the US switched from analog CRT tvs to digital HD flatscreens in a very short period of time. There was also a lot of weird shit at that time, like HD 1080i CRTs and flat screens in weird resolutions like 1366x768.
>>545002337kind of sounds to me like you're just a dumb nigger that didn't know how to pirate
>>544993912Middle class at best. Rich people had wall projectors and a much larger sound system.
>>545002337>Games were mostly shitMost games have always been shit but something people really do overlook these days is the sheer amount of shovelware games made for the PS2-360 generations that was only made because every single big budget movie got a movie tie-in and they were almost always complete ass because the developers had to get them out close to the release window of the movie.
>>545001948What is a CD and why would you burn it?
>>545002337>Games were mostly shit in the 2000sThis is objectively incorrect. Consider killing yourself for spreading misinformation.
>>545002598Nah, there were objectively way more good games in 2006 than today. It’s not even comparable.
>>545002337Israel is losing, kike. I hope you know that.
>>544992803Don’t talk shit about 2008 that was the literal peak of American Western society.
>>544993912As comfy as this is, it was the beginning of the slop :/
>>545002678Oh shit Condemned 2: Bloodshot, now that was a game. >you will never play a game where you brutally slaughter meth heads with a metal pipe again
>>544992803they are rich thoughsports cars, large house....
>>545002723I think there was just more games in general back then. I mean GTA III, VC and SA were all released in like a five year time span. Development time wasn't eight years like it is now. If you just count all the shovelware indie titles released today, yeah there's probably more games but basically nobody plays them and its basically just the flash games of the modern era.
>>545001068I think I will carve a pumpkin and eat some candy this year. Also, a ciggy.
>>545002846Its that you had to actually sit together with your friends and play those games, handing off the controller when you die while ripping GBs.
>>545002337Not to mention the 2008 market crash turning major cities into shit overnight and finding a job was impossible.
>>544992803i don't know how you can even watch that. its like flip card animation of random pictures. no wonder you like retro things, because that video is aesthetic hell.
>>545001623Even wealthy people back in the 50s couldn't afford food, they ate out of dumpsters.You know how you hate people who can afford three meals and want to skin them alive? In the 50s you'd feel that way about anyone who can eat two.
>>545002846>8 years just to make your established franchise gay and lame Such is life in 2026.
>>545002978And pc culture dominated too with anyone objecting being called a racist and ostracized. I remember feeling bored 70% of the time til youtube came out, and even then early years of youtube til like 2013-16 were shit too compared to now. Technology has largely made things better. People just need to learn how to use it and stay away from toxic brain rot shit.
>>545002846Good games can still be made in a timely fashion these days. Maybe not within 1-2 years but definitely within 3-5. The problem is that the video game industry is overrun with incompetent women and trannies and jeets now so they take 5+ years to make games now because they spend all day arguing over how many pronouns the ugly the DEI insert dyke character is going use before vibe coding an absolute travesty that needs to be reworked a hundred times to be half way playable. competent dev teams like the ones in Japan can still release fun games in a decent amount of time.
>>544995948This really. Retro video games and TV show are objectively better. I don’t like the wood veneer style but it’s functional. People thinking they “need” the latest product are what keeps the decadent system going. I have a bunch of old Craftsman tools from the 1960s-70s and they are better than what is produced by almost any company now.
>>544992803>i have a playsi>i have a shitty car>i am richoff course they have to cope because they have no future. it all got sold out for cheap trinkets.

>>544992803Nothing has gotten any better since 2008 except for AI.
>>545003175I believe that all of the identity politics and political correctness and corporations sponsoring social movements was to break up Occupy Wall Street and was mainstream media’s attempt to regain control of culture and it worked for a while. By 2012 BLM was established and people were chanting “Hands up don’t shoot” and Obama had killed Bin Laden and the only proof was the movie Zero Dark Thirty which was nominated for several awards to legitimize it. When I look back at the Obama years I realize that’s when culture went to shit.
