Why do they want the childhoods of millennials so bad?
>>722269373Really nigga?You have to ask that question?Just look around you
They grew up with the nogamesstation 3 and 4.
>>722269373most zoomers did grow up with 6th gen consoles
>>722269373better than wishing you grew up with a shitcube lol
>>722269757Why are white people like this
Because millennials unironically had the best childhoods? Games and movies were at their peak, music was still decent, pop-culture was still relevant, social media was fun and didn't completely destroy the world yet, etc.
>>722269373I'm a zoomer and i grew up with the ps2>parents didn't buy the ps3 until the slim model came outI don't really get the logic against it either, surely there are millenials that had their childhood take place between two generations of consoles (growing up with n64 and gamecube for example). Why can't they wrap their heads around it?
I grew up with a Gamecube.t. zoomer
I’d rather be a zoomer I can play resident evil 4 persona 3/4 silent hill 2 final fantasy 10 and 12 from the remakes with quality of life updates and enjoy all the new games too
>>722270120you can play recycled water downed goyslop demakes
>>722270120this except instead of shitty remakes, I can emulate them whenever i want.
>>722269701>most zoomers were born in 1997 and rich parents
>>722269373Playstation 2 is unfathomably based and a cheap option for broke zoomies. Picked up Ace Combat 5 for $5 just last week at the local pawn shop.
>>722270556Just buy a hard drive and use OPL nigga
>>72227054698 for meLiterally everyone had a PS2 back then since it played movies
>>722271787People always say this but I don't know a single person growing up who had a PS2 because it played DVDs.
>>722269373Its like how a lot of millennials wished they grew up in the 80s instead due to all the fun stuff going on at the time that was moderately better than growing up in the 90s and early 00s and facing recession since in the 80s economy wasn't fucked yet.
>>722269373because millennials didn't make anything better since then
>>722269957Early zoomers get forgotten and swept under the rug whenever the topic comes up.They’re talking about the broccoli heads born in 2005 who grew up with smart phones that make up the face of gen-z, not the borderline millennials nobody gives a fuck about.
>>722270546You do realize the console lasted until basically 2010 with releases right?
>>722269373Imagine video games existing in your childhood. Zooooooooooooooooooooooooooom.
>>722272141Those "borderline millennials" 96-99 born zoomers act and behave like the broccoli zoomers, they don't share any culture with Millennials.
>>722272354yet most of them still experience 6th gen consoles growing up
>>722272354Why are you so fucking obsessed with hating Coomers? Do you earnestly believe that a difference of 2 years makes that much of a difference?
>>722272465Zoomers* Fucking retard piece of shit phone
>>722269373Games were objectively better.
>>722272550>phoneposting zoomazoidcase in point lul
>>722269373>man everything now sucks i fucking hate it why can't we go back to when shit was objectively better>what the fuck why are the youth going back to when shit was objectively better
>>72227235490-96 zillennials have nothing in common with either millennials or zoomers. the first and last micro generation where their childhood took place pre and post 9/11. we're just burnt out 30 year olds
>>722270556could've picked it for $0 at your local archive.org retarded zoom zoom
>>722272465Unironically yes they behave differently than us. Differences:1. Men were taught to be more tough by Millennials, not showing weakness, including acting like a fag.2. You were supposed to show some form of respect to your elders, these young ones don't show any.3. Most of these young zoomers were raised by single parents without father figure at home.4. They literally were often born out of wedlock unlike Millennials.Yep, it just explains zoomers, fatherless bastards.
>>722272250Only in the third world.
>>722272868Oh my god you are actually retarded. That’s literally everything they said about millennials.
who cares? zoomers now play PS2 games in hd and 60 fps with emulators
>>722272953Not really, most people even in the US didn’t start upgrading to next Gen until around 2008-9, especially not little kids.
>>722269373>can still see the green and blue lights in my dark room while the ambience playsZoomers will never know what it was likehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cxk1gI2sg3w
>>722273015I've never heard Zoomers say shit about Millennials that wasn't a huge self-report and a projecting cope. You are acting like a faggot, you suck dicks.
>>722273082They don’t play anything pre 2015.They “fuck with” the PS2 aesthetic because they watched someone stream PS2 games but you won’t catch them dead playing anything old and clunky.This is why they demand remakes of classic games, they want the cred of playing them without actually playing them.
>>722269373Zoomers grew up playing dogshit licensed slop on the Wii of course they want a childhood full of good games
>>722273216>projecting>dick faggot suck dick fag
>>722269373PS2 is early zoomer console
>>722273402>mentally broke zoomer that sucks dicks is now crying.You had no father, you are gay.
>>722273706My father is in the living room and I’m pretty sure your generation helped normalize faggotry too, good job!
Any kid can grow up with a PS2. You just had to be there or you'll never really get it.
>>722273883>Self reports being underage.You didn't move out of your parents home bitch boy, now get out of this website.
>>722273983I’m in my 20s. Sorry I don’t make six figures yet. How’s the hair btw?
>>722271787sure it played dvdsuntil the fucking laser shit itself and it only wants to play ps1 and blue backed ps2 discs intermittentlygod the fat ps2 was a piece of shit only made passable by hard drive softmodding in the future
don't you feel pathetic trying to feel superior to kids?
>>722274058Still fine and longer than yours, mr. norwood reaped.
>>722269373This shit makes me feel so old
>>722274130Well you should get a haircut then cause I’m long overdue for one
>>722269373I was born in 1995 and the first console I had was a super nintendo. Brokies be broke
>>722274230Don't give a fuck, my hair grows long without trying so its a waste getting it cut every couple months.
>>722274274You’re not a zoomoid
>>722273550Late zoomer. Early zoomers were playing the Magnavox Odyssey in their 30s.
>>722274326that may be the one thing we have in common then
>>722270546>You needed rich parents to buy what was the cheapest dvd player on the market
>>722275289dvd players were not more expensive than a ps2 you are thinking of ps3 vs blu ray playersit was a good value though
>>722274064>He never owned a PS2It’s the other way around you retarded pajeet fuck. The Blue disks and PS1 became harder to read as the laser aged
>>722270546Growing up with poor parents also meant you got a PS2 as a Zoomer. The PS2 is a Zoomer console.
>>722275471i owned the fat ps2 and sent it in for repairs 3 times due to my silver dvds no longer reading nigger faggotit can go either wayafter awhile my dad gave up on it and i was stuck on ps1 games until i got a slim
>>722269939pic related too...
>>722275574https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZHZMr9lGMU
>>722273236>They don't play anything pre 2015You mean pre-2013. Zoomers think 2013-2014 games are "bussin fr no cap"
>>722269373You could still buy a brand new PS2 at retail in many places on the PS4 launch day in 2013
>>722275568your skin is brown you lying fuck. by the time the laser is weakened enough to stop reading disks the warranty is years expired. now neck
Is this the millennial seethe and act like their parents thread
>>722275972i have nothing to prove to you bloody berchod
>>722269757>better than wishing you grew up with a shitcube loli could really go for a chocolate chip cookie
>>722276001Nah it’s the zoomer cringe larp thread.You hate us so much but also desperately want to be us. “Borderline millenials” KEK.
Wait until we get people nostalgic for the PS3 and PS4
All zoomers I know had an original Playstation
>>722276519I’m a zoomer and I didn’t know anyone with a 5th gen console, only PS2s and Gamecubes
>>722276380ps4 generation had some ok stuff overallcurrent day is all remakes though
some mexican kid is growing up with the ps2 right now, he doesn't know the culture of the time though, neither do zoomers.
millenials had an amazing childhood and a sad adulthood. zoomers have a terrible childhood and a sad adulthood. its that easy. both our present and future sucks but at least balding millenials lived during the last good parts of middle class society
I cannot fathom growing up with the 360 generation. That was the point all the games started getting really fucking shitty.
>>722277148>4 (FOUR) monitors>still has to tab between stream and game instead of just putting the fagtuber on one of his extra monitors
>>722270090This. Recently got a PS2 a couple years ago and loved the games I either missed out on, or were worse on the Gamecube. Unfortunately my PS2 (fat model) crapped out on me and takes ages to "read" discs, where afterwards it'll freeze on a black screen and start making rapid buzzing noises. I don't trust myself to clean it, and apparently it'd be cheaper to just get a new PS2 outright.
>>722272848>90-96 zillennialsare you baiting or just retarded?>thinks everyone cares about what happens in burgerlandoh, just retarded
>>722269373If you watch that video its actually a guy in his 30s who had the Xbox or Gamecube I forget which one he had but he didnt have a PS2. Its not a zoomer video.
>>722277471>he didnt buy a network adapter and a 2TB hard disk
My sister is a early 2000s zoomer and the first games she played were on the PS2 and Gamecube.
>>722277697>shitlennial posts some random thumbnail or headline and blames it on zoomers>go find the source>it’s a troonllennial making the claimsEVERY FUCKING TIME
>>722269373>the childhoods of millennialsBecause we had the best childhoods. The one in history point where technology was advanced enough to make your life better, but not so much that it makes everything meaningless.We played outside AND we played videogames. The economy was awesome, and pop culture revolved around families and kids. It was incredible.That's the secret, our childhoods were so amazing that most of us had issues accepting how dogshit adulthood was by comparison.
>>722277959Well I mean anyone can check. He says it early into the video. I dunno why everyone was just taking OP at his word.
>>722277959wait a minute. why would a 90s kids hate ff7? It came out in the 90s. Most of the others I understand.
>>722269373I grew up with the ps2 but around 12 I really wished I grew up in the 80s or 90s. Mainly spurred on by retro games. Now I'd slaughter an entire island of toddlers if it meant I could go back to the 2000's.I think it's easy to hear people's nostalgia and fantasize about different eras.
>>722270546>born in 97Zoomers go up to 96
OP can you please explain why you lied about the video? Its not a video about a zoomer at all.
>>722277959They’re obsessed
>>722269757Some japs and yanks grew up with that cube. Even Microsoft's first console sold more units.
HERE:https://youtu.be/crMT3rlQP48?t=225watch from like 3:45. He said he got the xbox instead of ps2. Hes not a zoomer. He's just a millennial who didnt have the ps2.
>>722278495Shitlennials aren’t human
>>722277012>millenials had an amazing childhood and a sad adulthoodThis pretty much sums it up. I was born in 94. It's not that there weren't problems or it was all sunshine, but it was an amazing time to grow up. There was hope and optimism back then.Now I look around and see how everything is worse, continuing to worsen, and shows no chance of ever improving. Games are worse, culture is WAY worse, the internet is dead, and I'm surrounded by immigrants who are ruining my country.
>it's another "dumbass 30-40 year olds wind up doing the same shit that made them mad when dumbass 30-40 year olds did it to them as teenagers" episodesomething something abe simpson. god i fucking everyone, you're all so retarded.
>>722277720I got it at a yard sale. Didn't know about PS2 homebrew and I'm a jobless NEET. Shit's expensive.>>722274230Or you could keep it long like I'm doing.
>>722278542I just dont like that OP is a liar
>>722278152True
>>722269373I'm a 2000 zoomer and plenty of people had original ps as well as ps2 and GC. I think people forget that back in the day, people didn't buy consoles at launch and you could get them for dirt-cheap if you bought in late.I don't think I ever knew anyone my age with an N64 though. I think a lot of people had original Playstation due to the "PS one" rerelease version that was released as a cheaper option alongside the ps2.I had a GameCube late because they were giving it away for 50 bucks when the Wii was close to launch.My ps collection is basically a bunch of weird kids educational games but then randomly Dino Crisis.Also who gives a shit what you grew up with? the games didn't go anywhere and they're still good just go play them.
>>722269757I want to punch all these trannies in the face
>>722277012Best post in this thread t b h. Sums it up perfectly.
ITT: people wanting to seem older than they actually areI'm 23 and I 100% think that I didn't even experience the last dying breaths of the 6th generation
>>722277571>the heart of the strongest empire this planet has ever known gets attacked in a shocking and very visible wayyea people would tend to notice the world shift after that
>>722280287this but whened Rome was sacked by whotoids
>>722269373I was born in 2002 and the first console I had was a PS2 slim. Millenials grew up with Snes and N64.
>>722270546Playing on last gens consoles is a hallmark of kids with poor parents. Plenty of zoomers grew up with a PS2 because Sony was selling those things for dirt cheap well into the lifespan of the PS3.
>>722272850But then he either has to patch and burn a DVD, get a modded memory card and play over USB with stuttering cutscenes and bad load times, track down and buy a network adapter and an IDE hard drive, or buy one of those SD card to memory card adapters. Basically any of those options is going to be more expensive than $5 and will take longer than buying a disc and playing it.Plus genuine physical copies are cool.
>>722272953In the third world it lasted until 2014. In places like the US it was still receiving regular new releases up until about 2009. I have fond memories of playing the PS2 version of Force Unleashed, and not so fond memories of the PS2 version of World at War.
>>722282915use FTP network retard
*siiiiiiiiiiiip* They just don't make 'em like they used to.
>>722275471>>722275568The PS2 had 2 lasers in it. It was possible for either or both of them to fail. I've had the DVD laser fail more often than the CD laser, but I've also seen a failing CD laser before.
>>722276519I remember getting one at a yard sale for $20 in 2014.
>>722270546>rich parents how was having a ps2 meaning you were having rich parents? both my parents worked
I was born in 2003 and I grew up with a PS2. I only bought dogshit games thoughbeit so the experience was terrible
>>722269373no i don't lmfaothere are literally 0 good PS2 games, I'm glad I grew up on the 360
>>722283565i knew zoomers were the ones pushing thoughbeit posting
>>722283639The best games on 360, (Saints Row 2, Dead Rising, Halo 3), all feel more like 6th gen games
>>722269373I grew up with the PS2 but I didn't even play those games that are on the thumbnail.
>>722279334I'm 24 and I say I did, so tough shit faggot. *spit*
>>722280287There where no planes.
>>722269373Yeah I feel sorry for them because it was indeed fucking awesome being a kid thenWe had the perfect balance of being outside and playing games. The other week I was out having a pub feed and a family was having a birthday dinner and one of their fat fuck sons was sitting there the entire time on his iPad switching between 4 or 5 brain rot games including multiple Roblox games. The entire time. It's just sad.
Ps2 was the worse console and it’s not even close. Bunch of shitty trash tier gamesQuality>quantity
>>722285728ps2 has the most good games of any console and it’s not even close
>>722275504yep I was a gen 6 player until around 2012 due to being a poorfag
People who drown in nostalgia are simply pathetic.Those times were awesome when they happened. They serve no purpose in the present, chasing that same high you once had is a fool's errand. Enjoy what you are and what you have now.
>>722277471If you want to be a cheapskate, you can softmod it with FMCB and play games from a USB drive. If you're too poor to buy a modded memory card, you can burn a DVD with free DVD boot on it and use that to mod your memory card.
>>722286305>in this moment I am euphoric
>>722286412Not because of any PS2 games of my childhood, but because of my own internal contentment.
>>722278092Its popular
>>722283067You still have to pay for the stuff to mod the console such a PS2 to PS3 memory card adapter, a PS2 Memorcy card to SD card adapter, a spindle of blank DVDs, a modded memory card, or a network adapter and hard drive. And he has to buy an ethernet cable that can reach from his PC to his PS2. Plus FTP is a lot more complex to setup than those other methods.
>>722287159>ethernet cable>pre modded memory card from ebay for like 5 buckswhat an insurmountable cost to have every ps2 game playable for free on real hardware dear godif FTP is complex for you im afraid you are indian and its terminal
>>722277959All those games actually, genuinely fucking suck, only decent choice is Jak 2.PS1 and SNES were the peak of console gaming, after that, it was downhill. PS2 was just a glorified DVD player, the games in it were mostly boring shit, with few exceptions like DMC, Evil Dead, few NFS games, few JRPG's and Sly trilogy.
>>722286305Most of the old things I had back then still exist and I still enjoy using them. In addition all the things I couldn't afford back then are dirt cheap now, so I get to enjoy them now.
>>722269373I was born on 96I LITERALLY grew up with the PS2, Wii, Xbox, NDS and PSPWhat the fuck is this decrepit shitllennial spewing?
>>722287486You didn't.
You can play older games and be objective about them, it doesn't have to come from a place of nostalgia. I was born in 94 I had the N64, PS1, PS2, GC, ect. There were more quality games back then with unique ideas.
>>722269373I'm a 1997 and I literally grew up with the ps2 tho
>>722269373I'm 2007 and I literally grew up with the PS2 though
>>722287251>pre modded memory card from ebay for like 5 bucksMore like $10 plus shipping these days.>ethernet cableYes, an ethernet cable. The PS2 doesn't have Wifi capabilities, so if you want to do any kind of networking on it you'll need an ethernet cable of appropriate length. I suppose you could get one of those expensive aftermarket memory cards with built in Wifi for FTP, but those really are expensive, and at that point you could just load all your games onto the SD card slot which it also has.>what an insurmountable cost to have every ps2 game playable for free on real hardware dear godI'm not saying its insurmountable, I'm just saying I don't think its wrong or stupid to spend $5 dollars on a physical copy of a game rather than pirating it. Five dollars is practically nothing. Sure modding a console is easy and cheap, but so is playing a game you bought for $5.And its not like this precludes him from also modding his PS2 to get other games for free.>if FTP is complex for you im afraid you are indian and its terminalYour average normie really doesn't, nor will they ever, understand how to setup an ftp server. The concept of self hosted networking eludes them.Normies aside, it may not be practical, or may simply be more trouble than its worth. Sure I could setup an FTP server on my PC, but that means I need to have it, and by extension my PC, running all the time, and I need to have my PS2 connected to the network all the time. I don't want to waste CPU time, RAM, and disk space running an FTP server, and keep my PC tied up like that, nor do I have the space for a dedicated home server PC. So why would I bother with that over just keeping a binder full of burned discs next to my Playstation.
i was born in 99 and grew up with the PS2 and Gamecube
>>722288319>Yes, an ethernet cable. The PS2 doesn't have Wifi capabilities, so if you want to do any kind of networking on it you'll need an ethernet cable of appropriate lengthjesus christ you pseud it wasnt greentexted because i was implying you dont need it im saying you can get a fucking ethernet on amazon for 5 bucksits a kind of cost not even worth mentioning its not like you need some fucking braided CAT6 nasa cable for a fucking 2000 console
>>722290338But then I have tot pay shipping and wait for it to ship. That's VS something that's right there. Also, who is selling ethernet for $5? I've never seen any that cheap.
>>722275289My rich parents bought an actual fucking DVD player and refused to buy PS2.
>>722292592like i saidamazon3-7 dolllars for 6 feetbut now your going to say you need a 50 foot cable to increase the cost
>>722269373ps2 was the last good playstation

>>722293261I'd rather zoomers enjoy old stuff than blindly shit on everything made before the 2010s.
>>722293174Feels good to be an autistic hoarder chad. My parents tried to get rid of my childhood toys and I had a huge multi-day meltie, it never happened again. Feels good to still have my wibble-wobbleies and all my old video games.
>>722293374i dont. they drive prices up for cool shit because of their absurd spending and trend chasing habits. its not their culture and i think they should fuck off. inb4 you say "i bet you love stuff that came out before you were born!!" nope. never have, still dont.
>>722278610The /v/ special, I dont know if other boards are the same. Generational warfare is low IQ retardation.

>>722292872Who actually has their computer withing 6ft of their TV? It'd be better to use a wifi bridge.
6th gen was THE zoomer generation, nobody was nostalgic for Battle for Bikini Bottom or Halo until recently. You fags didn't even want to associate the 6th gen with retro games.
>>722294330ever heard of a router? if all of your electronics are not close enough to make use of the ethernet ports thats on you
>>722294035> are you gonna ask if i dislike pong next?Pong is good though.
My first console was the NES. I was lucky to witness most of the tech leaps in gaming. Going from SNES to N64 and Playstation was an incredible experience. Now I can't even remember what were the big selling points of the last 3 gens.
>>722269373All zoomers have are roblox, gacha, remasters, and pozzed games. I feel bad for them.
>>722294521My electronics are spread across the house where I use them. The router is in the kitchen because that's where the phone and the phone line are. My PS2 is in my bedroom because that's where I play my video games.
>>722277959Yes those actually suck. Best game there is SA2.
>>722294694>landlinegrandma your son isnt going to call your wasting money
>>722275574roy rogers was better
I remember back in the day my parent bought KH1 randomly and I thought KH1 was trash cause in my mind all disney games were trashy shovelware games. Until one day I got bored and tried it out and I got addicted to it, it hit all the right spots for 12 year old me so much so I probably got autism from it.

>>722269373>Why do they want the childhoods of millennials so bad?
>>722272550>Crying about coomers so much it becomes an autofill on your phoneSterile zoomer spotted!
>>722276183I always found this mentality in the millennial generation a very strange cope.Most of us don't loath you specifically but we acknowledge something you always try to ignore, and that is that every single thing you hate about us was born and permitted under you watch.Gay marriage and the normalization of homosexuality took place while you were an adult, the rape of the videogame industry for the sake of gay agendas took place when i was about 14, the rise of DLC, of pre orders, of the modern skinner box was all tested and enjoyed by you (mind you its gotten way worse under zoomers too). Go to twitter (if you can stomach it) and look at the first, second and third tranny you see and you will find that they are millennials.You look at the all the "important" game directors that shovel shit slop out or those so valuable "game journos" and most if not all of them are millennials.And let us not forget that it is far and wide millennial parents that let their little children spend 80-90% of their childhood stuck in front of the NEW electric jew or the hellscape that is roblox (which i will concede our generation did popularize, that much is true).I don't hate you, nor do i blame you for this honestly, but you complaining is what I find it weird, everything turned to shit under your watch and all you did was watch south park and scratch your ass. I don't think zoomers are sinless, most of my generation are touchstarved cave dwelling permanently online retards with no sense for actual good or at least normal living. But unlike you I don't praise them and treat them as your superiors, like you seem to do all millennials.
