>>720217043>>720217430I find pretty funny how for all its criticisms about CONSOOOOMMM, /v/'s happiest life moments revolve around consumerism. Same with those Blockbuster threads: the peak of your childhood was consuming products like junk food and games.

>>720218620I rather enjoy my life. They're wonderful and we are expecting a second child soon. Even if much of the world around is going bad, I can create a nice one for my family away from it. I would enjoy certain things about going back to 2005 of course, but I wouldn't choose it.
>>720217932consoom posters are inherently retarded for posting on a forum about consuming video games
>>720217043i didn't have online til halo 3

>>720219112If I could go through high school again while retaining all of my social growth it would be fucking incredible
>>720219184This man I'd win this time around
>>720217932You're a fucking faggot
>>720218880This. Like where in the fuck do you think you are? Head to /r/simpleliving and eat bugs
>>720217932Consoooming is fun. My life doesn't revolve around it but it enhances my joy so why would I care what some anonymous snoyboy thinks?
>>720217043>People are nostalgic for HaloSociety has fallen
>>720217043You only have 11 years
>>7202198533, really
>>720217331Wdym you'd have until 2017 to load up for cheap
>>720219773>Consoooming is fun.you sound like a pig in a trough
>>720220149I guess I am, I enjoy spending money on things I like. Games aren't my only hobby though anon, if I were you I'd focus on other things that also make you happy too.. it'll leave you less jaded
>>720217043>Bush>Mt dew>Halo>XboxSorry, I'm not amerifat
>>720217932you are a retard.the consoooom stuff is about junk like funkos and low quality garbage AAA slop. nnot quality games like halo 2 and other stuff you see in these threads
>>720217043>>George W Bush is the president>>the last 20 years were just a really bad nightmareNigger you just woke me up in a post 2001 9/11 nightmare and the next 3 years which fly by like piss from a cock and I will go through a recession again. You have to go back further you zoomer faggot.
>>720217932>I find pretty funny how for all its criticisms about CONSOOOOMMM, /v/'s happiest life moments revolve around consumerismDid you not enjoy Christmas and Birthdays with your parents growing up? Even poor people love those. You must be really fucking brown and soulless.
>>720217932>I find pretty funny how for all its criticisms about CONSOOOOMMM, /v/'s happiest life moments revolve around consumerismThe whole board is founded around consumerism.
>>720217932There's a world of difference between eating some chips playing vidya and one of those weirdos with 100+ funko pops.When people make fun of consumerism is because the consoomer is buying something they're not even going to use, just for the high of buying new shit, like women who have dozens of pairs of shoes and those rich retards with 10+ cars.
>>720221078>There's a world of difference between eating some chips playing vidya and one of those weirdos with 100+ funko pops.No there isn't. Both of them's personal happiness revolves around consuming a commercial product.
>>720219853But everything went to shit by like 2011
>>720217043I miss this time dude... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uj1WqGCrYpU
Why are zoomers turning into full puritans who think the only fun in life should be working in coal mines and dying in industrial accidents?
>>720219783why? halo was made in 2001, the same year as ffx
>>720217043I thought about it and I'd be totally cool with living in a perpetual 1999-2015 loop. Society is pretty much where it was when GTA5 launched except it's even more gay and lefty insane-o pilled I don't even know what 6 can lampoon except orange man bad
It's funny how /v/ is always about "reject modernity and embrace tradition" only to react like >>720222346 and act offended when people actually do it and starts rejecting consumerism, the cornerstome of modernity.
>>720222557Because sacrifice isn't a word they're familiar with.
>>720222541I'd say 1995 -> 2005 look, I hated the ps3 era, it was all dark and brown, I wanted my beach era all over again

>>720222346They don't want to turn into cringe millenials, and they're young and naive enough to think they can escape the cycle that affects everyone as they age.
>>720217043>20 years later you still haven't had sex and make cringe threads on four chinsyou forgot to tie it all up, incel.>>720220489>>720220407your childhood sucked, quit coping.
>>720217043>George W Bush is the president>Economy crashes because of trickle down economics and deregulation >Today>Red retards are tripling down on trickle down economics and deregulation. >And tariffs are making video games unaffordable on top of games, outside of what Nintendo makes, all sucking because of the live service meme and gatcha shit.What a terrible timeline we're in.
>>720217043Does everything play out the same way as the original timeline? If so, I'd invest in nvidia for the sweet 100,000% share increase
>>720223346Everything got fucked way before bush.Absolutely retarded decisions take a while to show off.It's a combination of Dodge vs ford and allowing companies to just mega-monopolize that fucked it all up.Back when the US was sending rockets to the moon, they actually did broke up companies and all that.
>>720224071You could just buy some bitcoins for quicker cash.

>>720223346I bet this poster thinks the economy was great when Biden was president
>>720217932It’s funny that the true cause of happiness is when American was 80%+ white.
>>720224559You still have to wait for 4 more years until bitcoin becomes a thing, which you could just start mining on day 1
>>720217043I hated my life in 2005. I'm happy now. If I woke up in 2005, I think I'd kill myself.

>>720226526Americans have a way higher quality of life than you. AC in every building and home is something you’ll never experience
>>720217043I still have a brainless retard destroying the economy, but at least this one isn't a pedophile
>>720217043Didn't have an Xbox, or anyone to play multiplayer with in 2005. I wasn't allowed to interact with people.
>>720227057The Bushes were in Skull and Bones. They’ve absolutely taken part in kid diddling and manufactured a 2nd Pearl Harbor to drag America into a pointless war for 20 years

There my age but we don't get along. >They have Halo 2, but I'm not allowed to play it. Too violent.>I'm miserable. Dad won't get a job until 2006, and close on a house until 2007.
>>720217043Man, I love having all the 6th gen consoles!
>>720218989not him but what's more grim is you're willing to end because you won't get laid. all those ancestors and it was (you) who could not have sex. grim
I have never felt nostalgia. I'm 30. When do you start feeling nostalgia? In your 40s? Your 50s?
>>720217043>>the future is bright and hopefulNot in post-9/11.
>>720227927>your reason to live is to simp modern womennuh uh
>>720217043>2005>The future is bright and hopefulRetard, 9/11 already happened, everything was going to shit long before culture war garbage kicked into gear.
>>720217932They hated him because he spoke the truth. Even 90s fags have to resort to electronic toys and pop culture for happy memories. It's all one big pile of shit.
>>720226926Correct, which is objectively anything I like and anything you like that I also like
>>720218425Understandable reservation. I hope things go well for you, anon.
>>720227927Who said anything about not getting laid? Have gf, will never have kids and will never get married
>>720225297Here's an alternative. Kill everybody else.
>>720221817>>7202249132012 is the objective answer.>Kony2012 kicked off cattle herding via social media>Trayvon Martin kicked off BLM>Obama pushed tranny bathrooms
>>720228720>he says, while lurking on /v/, showing that he's a big video game consoooomeryour point anon?
>>720217932If they said what actually made them happy about the time, you'd get really upset.
>>720219773>nintendie>snoyhow is that wifes boyfriend treating you
>>720217932Lol you made a bunch of niggas mad. Whenever i hear about nostalgia from this board its alwaysAnd i mean alwaysJust playing videogame for hours on end and eating snacks like your 9 again without feeling as pathetic as you do now doing that at 35
>>720217043>2005>4 years post 9/11>~2 years until financial crisis and bank bailouts"the good times" in america are so fleeting. the really sick part is that right now is probably gonna be looked back on as one of history's good times between the coronavirus and another financial crisis.
>>720229124I already made my point>It's all one big pile of shit.
>>720219112I wasn’t a gigachad in highschool but it wasn’t too bad. Got laid in 11th grade which i thought was bad at the time and was ashamed to say it, most guys said they has sex in 9th or even 8thTurns out a lot of them were lying and i did just fine looking st the virgin statistics
>>720228973It was 9/11, it enabled western governments all over the world to put their own people firmly in the crosshairs in the name of security, which was the precursor event that lead to all of this. Complain about troons? Threat to national security. Complain about infinite immigration? Threat to national security. Complain about black crime statistics? Threat to national security. Any criticism anybody has is a threat to national security, aka the desired status quo, and enables the government to classify you as a hostile element whereas before they would actually have to deal with you carefully. They can just shoot or detain you now without having to care about bad press as with Waco and Ruby Ridge.Consider OWS, if 9/11 hadn't let three letter agencies completely off the leash, infiltrating and subverting the protests would have been wildly illegal and they wouldn't have been allowed to get away with it.9/11 fucked so much shit up and we're still dealing with the consequences. The worst part is that they knew it was gonna happen and let it for the casus belli.
>>720229457>right now is probably gonna be looked back on as one of history's good times between the coronavirus and another financial crisis.No fucking way. For future historians, the 2020s will be synonymous with Covid, Ukraine, and Gaza
>>720229519shit winds been blowing for decades bobandy
>gaylo 2lolcouldn't think of a shitter game zoomzoom?
>>720229519it's not, we had great games back them, it wasn't midnless consumerism
>>720230153Like getting a massage before getting a karate chop to the throat right after. We were set up!
>>720230153Its the same shit and if you only determine life quality by product quality you are a consumer. Isn’t that the definition, your entire life revolves around current product
>>720217043>It's 2005Already too late
>>720229840>The worst part is that they knew it was gonna happen and let it for the casus belli.Yea i know my plans tomorrow are going to happen too.
>>720218880It's election tourists that leaked and a minority of jaded fags that think their preferred form of escapism is better than the rest.

>>720225661Bet you voted for this. Also this is the correct response. >>720224467Trust busting and nationalization is the only solution to fix this 50+ year shitshow.
>>720232964Soul
>>720217932video games are consumedmovies are consumedmusic is consumedbooks are consumedfood is consumednothing wrong with consumption
>RTS had a de facto golden age>Console FPS had a de facto golden age>MMOs had a golden ageIt's hard to pinpoint exactly where these golden ages start or end but their absence becomes obvious years later independent from your personal life nostalgia. You could say we're entering a gacha golden age for better or worse. I would argue that game streaming had a recent golden age that ended with the normalfaggot invasion of streaming as a whole. The internet was better when there were boundaries when there was no social media and people had to visit all kinds of sites to see all kinds of things instead of the centralized consumerized slop we have now. Anything denial of these things is cope.
>>720217043>It's 2005Post 9/11, civilization is already crumbling because the browns won. Bad hiss
>>720217043invest in tesla and btc and amazon.
>>720218620It is hell to be honest. I wish I could change my past but im so happy with my 3 babies and wife. Being an oldfag is funny sometimes.
>>72023618635 here, never wanted kids and never will at this point. Some parts of being a dad seen cool, but I just never cared enough
>>720232964>>an orangutan is presidentObama hasn't been in office for nearly a decade.
>>720217043>wake up>It's 2005>George W Bush is the presidentAnd 4chan hates him alongside all conservatives. Life is good indeed.
>>7202298404chan really loves this narrative that OWS was 'subverted' but I don't think any of you were involved and the only proof people present is that racism became a hot topic in the media around that time... as if a radical left movement going mainstream during the Obama presidency and the associated conservative backlash couldn't explain that on their own
