zoomer boomer poomer yoomer loomer coomer doomer roomer voomer woomer foomer joomer moomer Shut the fuck up.
>>721475125this was kino
>>721475197Thanks for the free bump, now post zoomkino.
There's also the Mata Nui game, but I never got to play that one. I still remember the music from this flash game.
https://youtu.be/83GoGHBkdygI remember watching this over and over when this first came out. I got the teal blue model for my birthday in 2011.
This entire thread will be zoomers trying to claim late millennial culture as their own (it wasn't) because they watched youtube retrospectives about it
I have tons of WoW nostalgia stuff, mostly old art and stuff but I also have some pics of old website pages. 2000s blizzard was pure kino, the last era of games being pure fun
>>721475598Why are you bumping the thread without posting zoomiekino?>ermmm actually millennials played club pengui-I do not want to hear it.
>>721475598Deranged
>>721475741I am 32 years old and I played club penguin in elementary school, sorry zoomgroid
>>721475125I miss when Nintendo was willing to let kids have their own social media with picrel and Miiverse.Shit like this will never happen again, especially considering the recent Roblox scandals.
>>721475598Literally everything in this thread, with maybe the exception of >>721475656, has been shit zoomers experienced. If you experienced these things as a millennial you were the single man at the park that my dad told me to stay away from.
What was your flash vidya site of choice?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJi3G7TVWC0yep, it's still kino
>>721476264I don't remember the name of it but I used one that had a built in radio on the top bar. I played Isoball 1, 2, and 3 on that site.

>>721476778Do not go check what miniclip looks like now. Worst mistake of my life.
sonic sprite videos
Despite being used in promos and ads, they never actually released a metallic or lime green Wii.
>>721476670genuinely have no idea how to feel about happy wheels, it was so overdone on youtube for so long and yet it's still somewhat nostalgic for how it dominated that period of time. I wonder how many people still make levels for that game now.>>721476052really? WoW was insanely popular for like a decade, I'm sure whatever you would consider a zoomer could have been playing WoW during cataclysm or pandaria at least.
>>721475598Why are you so butthurt that early zoomers grew up playing Gamecubes and PS2s? For fucks sake early zoomer birth years come right after late millennial birth years, of course they have things in common they grew up on you fucking loser. >>721475940You were 12/13 in elementary school? Grim
>>721477183Ignore him. They like to have their own 30+ threads but are autistic enough to willingly engage with these ones.
>>721476264No. 1 for me was Kongregate, followed by Ninja Kiwi. Newgrounds just for the madness games
>>721475067this got me into puzzle games as a whole, it's what i call #kinosovlfvl
>deafening whirring noise
Don't care. Including it.
>>721476991based
>>721477719nah, i think it's allowed, gamecube was still pretty recent and the earlier wii models let you play its library along the newer one
>>721475197stay triggered pussy
>core zoomerlol.
>>721476778>>721476972I miss Sketch Star.
>>721478389Yes? What about it? You have to split the years. Someone born in 1999 is not going to have the same exact nostalgia as someone born in 2004. Regardless, they are all zoomers in the end unless you're one of the faggots doing the "zillennial" bullshit.
>>721478286I know all that but there are retards who insist I am stealing late millennial culture because I was born in 2001 and couldn't possibly be playing Gamecube games at 4/5 years old. They'll insist I was too young to read even though I'm pretty sure most kids are capable of reading by those ages. They'll talk about how I'm hogging their childhood by referencing their teenage years or some horseshit. Also makes them mad when I experienced 2006/2007 adult swim as a kid but it's totally okay for them to experience 2001 adult swim as a kid.
Anyone ever play this? I used to run frost wasp and just ram people in the side and freeze them to death
>>721477638based snail god
>>721478989I remember playing with the camera with lost footage as a kid. I tried to capture the snake in that game but when it escaped it scared the shit outta me that I stopped playing.>RIGHT THERE, RIGHT THERE, RIGHT THERE, RIGHT THERE, RIGHT THERE
>>721477102I hate how thin-skinned Alvin was but he was the only one that got this format right. Every other faggot doing their own SMBZ knockoff either>Added another franchise because they just have to try to top SMBZ, Megaman.exe was the main contender>Added too many Sonic characters to the Sonic side when the entire point was that Sonic/Shadow were the outsiders of the Mario universe >Went off the rails with other shit while doing the first two examplesI would have just told that faggot that Alvin brought in to fuck off and continue from there, killing off that Koopatrol OC and just finishing things from there, making shorter episodes so you aren't waiting seven-nine months for a new release.
I prefer SSF1
just let me go back...
>>721476160Fuuuuuck, you just brought back memories of making awful levels with this. I loved every second of it. For me, it was Ben 10 Battle Ready.
>>721478253is there porn of the building on the right?
I hate zoomers so fucking much. It was the darkest part of my life, the complacency of 2005-2009. my life had no meaning. I was caught in the middle of a divorce and showered with childish gifts. No one even wanted to perceive kids, they were kept sheltered. They knew what they were used for and who used them but kept quiet. Everyone was on the payroll. They had an objective and anyone with the ambitions to change anything in this world were sent to Afghanistan attacking what should have been our ally. I don’t think zoomers will ever understand what was happening. That’s what separates zoomers from millennials. You were in an immature playplace, meant to pacify you and distract you from the day to day drama of what was happening among the italians and jews, my family. You’re naive and oblivious to them ruining your life for the last 5 years and you do nothing, just protest a muslim country that couldn’t give a fuck about you. I can’t wait for you retards to become the cannon fodder of WWIII. I hope you aren’t safe no matter what desk job you take in the military. I hope you feel real pain some day.
>>721483221Whiny blogposts done by millennials who own iPhones belong on the 30+ gamer thread.

>>721477183Not that guy, but if you live somewhere they don't have middle schools, yes. I was 13 when I finished elementary.
>>721483221why are millennials such whiny bitches?
>>721476972Sad, but pretty much what I expected i guess
>>721475067I keep telling people One Piece wasn't popular till recently and Wan Pissers don't believe me. Picrel literally proves my point
>>721477102>The year is 2055>Alvin has rebooted SMBZ for the seventh time, he says he's REALLY going to finish it for reals this time
>>721483589Every generation hates the younger ones because they don't understand them, it happened to boomers, it's happening to millenials and it will happen to us, but why care about that?
>Early zoomer (1997 - 2002): grew up using PCs, probably used hand-me-downs from the 90s if they had older siblings, experienced the tail end of the "wild west" internet, got smartphones in their mid teens, first console was likely from sixth gen>Core zoomer (2003 - 2008): computer literacy starts to fall off around here, some gravitated towards PCs, but many were given phones and tablets at an early age ~10ish, have never touched a VCR, first console was likely from seventh gen>Late zoomer (2009 - 2013): the first iPad babies
>>721483847Club Penguin really lost its soul after Disney bought it.
>>721476052>play WoW & Club penguin in 2005-2006 as a 12 year old>now mid to late 30's which is a zoomer in this guy's eyes for some reason>>721476264albinoblacksheep, ebaums, newgrounds, kongregate, addictinggames
>>721484187Early zoomer here but my first console was an N64Pokemon Stadium, Mario Party 2, and Snowboard Kids 2 were the shit
>>721476264NewgroundsMiniclipCool Math Gamesthe Cartoon Network website
>>721484187This seems about right. I think the computer literacy part for core zoomers depends if they had early zoomer/or late millennial siblings to show them ropes. I've met a bunch of them who know how to get around Windows and some who literally cannot fathom how a keyboard works.
>>721484456$30 for a shockwave flash game
>>721476997I always wanted the lime one>>721477847And the green one here
>>72148425732 isn't late 30s or even mid 30s. Also you're an edge case and if millennials want to gatekeep zooms I can gatekeep you
>>721483589>>721484173it already happened to me via italian ai-slop brainrot, what the fuck is wrong with genalpha
i don't remember a single point in time when the connection for this game online wasn't putrid vomit
>>721485143I'm sure some alphies will be okay. My friend has a little cousin who likes GWAR.
>>721485143the shark wearing shoes shit? that was funny as hell. youre too obsessed with being on the internet. nowadays im encountering a lot of people younger than me and getting mad at them over banal shit is embarrassing. the world is too fucked up to be mad at kids doing kid shit, instead just be a good role model for them. youre cool in the eyes of those who still have a big imagination
>>721485801>bocchi the pedophileyeah that makes sense

>>721486169Was Blade the devs OC? Seems a bit cheeky to sneak that into your game.
>>721486169They should have said "fuck it" and put Mr. Incredible in 2, not like the anime characters are much better
>>721475067I remember playing super smash flash each update.

>>721477102Episode 9 never ever
>>721484534>I think the computer literacy part for core zoomers depends if they had early zoomer/or late millennial siblings to show them ropes.It depends, yeah. Like I'm a core zoomer (2006) and have known how to navigate Windows and all that fun stuff for years, but I've met plenty of other people my age that don't know how to use one beyond navigating the web/basic tasks. It's kind of baffling.
>>721487964That's millennial kino.
>>721476725Didn’t play this one til years ago, but the Wii version was my shit back then. I also remember the OG game being the cause of many broken DSes back then
>born in 96>grew up with literally everything posted herefucking zoomers get your own vidya
>>721488216You literally are a zoomer
>>721488216Fuck off we're full
>>721488276sorry bud not according to>>721475067I’m shocked no ones posted MapleStory yet
>>721488216you're a zillennial
>>72148866396 is on the edge, it's sometimes called millennial and sometimes called zoomer. I think 96 is more zoomer because they were 10 when the wii came out.
>>721488546I was here first dammit
>>721488046Kill yourself 92babby
>>721488663you doing classic server soon(ish) ?
where to, /v/?
>>721488810People really can't remember shit when they were 5, let alone 9?Is that guy retarded?
>>721475376Gen Alpha stole this from you just like how you stole Minecraft from Millennials.
>>721488814>classic serverI had no idea this was a thing, I might check it out, is there a confirmed date?
https://youtube.com/watch?v=TpGMIHlkJBE&si=NiVD3qk0vhZh_8wQ
>>721484187Being a poor core zoomer means I actually had to use shit like VHS and play older consoles like n64,ps2 and GameCube.
>>721488663Literally came in here to post this here >>721489307 lol... I used to play in a private server back in the old days because cash shop items were free. I kinda miss this game a lot. Watched someone play this a few months ago and its crazy how much crap is in the game now. Way too overwhelming for me.
>>721481032>Blade in SSF2 never everPUT HIM BACK IN MCLEODYOU FUCKING COWARD
>>721489416have fun trying to convince millennials that
So much consumerist slop. Are we going to learn our lesson when we raise children of our own, or are we just going to give them slop and let the cycle continue?
>>721489814This, so much this. We need to raise them to be based Catholics so they can go on Twitter with Pepe dressed as a priest as their profile picture.
Pic related is what made me finally dump Internet Explorer once for all. Ad blocker was a bonus later on as this was back when ads weren't as AIDS-ridden and privacy-invasive as they all are now.
Have a lot of nostalgia for Cartoon Network's flash games. Especially their Orbit game with trading cards.
>>721489056Roblox came out before Minecraft.
>>721490103ok and? that still doesnt change fact that it is now remembered for shit like steal a brainrot over what you grew up playing on it.
Does anyone remember this series? while it was just a bomberman clone on flash i remember it being really fun with friends>pic was the best one i could find, i don't think i ever played 7
I (1997) wish all my zoomer friends a good week. I haven't been able to stop feeling nostalgic for months now thinking about all of this. I grew up sort of a neet. Played every console, eventually got a laptop and started playing maplestory and whatever I could get my hands on. I remember when minecraft first came out before all the fancy graphics, fog everywhere it was such an ethereal time I couldn't put the game down. Windows live messenger, skype, all the retarded youtube memes I wouldn't dare quote in public among normal people. I miss the PS2, Gamecube, SNES, N64, XBOX, Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, DS, PS Vita all of it was a part of my identity I was a literal slop consumer but man shit really was better back in the days. I don't mean to be an emotional fag but I really do hope everyone has a good day/week. This is the hardest I've ever yearned in my life and I feel way too young to say that. I yearn for all of it to return. Hope anons don't mind me saying God Bless you for making this thread I love nostalgia looking back on all the aesthetics I took for granted and everything that passed me by in what feels like the blink of an eye now. I need nostalgia threads they give me hope for a better tomorrow
Yes my parents wouldn’t buy my CSS or TF2 how could you tell?
>>721476264fiver
>>721490193Minecraft is barely millennial. It's mostly zoomers who were born in 2004 who are the nostalgia fags for it. The youngest millennials were already 15 by 2011 and the oldest ones were fuckin 30.
>>721490330honorable mention
>>721475598>Zoomer nostalgia thread>ERM ACKSHUALLY THAT'S LATE LATE LATE LATE MILLENNIAL CULCHUR, YOU DIDN'T GROW UP WITH ITYou greedy faggots want everything good, you can't be content with the 80s and 90s.
>>721475376At the very least I'm glad they still let you keep any of the random junk you bought with tix when the site was the wild west.I logged in a year ago and I can still wear the shitty "Kirby.png" Shirts I bought when I was a kid when copyright wasn't a problem.
>>721490473I downloaded it, played a couple rounds, and it was full of locked shit. So I deleted it. I hear they monetized it even worse later on.
AKRIIIIIIIID
>>721490735Lost World was underrated. I never got to play 2 but the coop sounded great.
>>721490301I remember only playing this specifically because Bomberman was completely dead around the time they were pumping these out.
>>721490729I had the exact same experience, I don’t think I played it more than a week, I eventually bought TF2 with a gift card
>>721482740I FUCKING MISS NOXIOUSNET FORTWARS!!!!!
>>721475067Being a core zoomer (2004 - 21yo) and having older siblings influence the stuff you like/grew up with was both a blessing and a curse.For example, TF2 is apart of my zoomer nostalgia. I started playing it in 2012 when I finally had access to a computer that wasn't a total shitbox, as I would often watch my older brother play it on his own PC in 2010. Nobody in school knew what the fuck it was, let alone any other game that was for a computer. I don't want to go "I WAS BORN IN THE WRONG GENERATION" but I feel like it would be nice if I was born like 5-6 years earlier.
>>721475125I used to imitate this IRL
>>721475067Wait. Am I an early zoomer?
These threads always make me sas because they die so fast. I don't check 4chan very often because its just bait and flavor of the month posting half the time but when I get lucky enough to see a nostalgia thread I get really happy.
I never beat this
>>721491041bro your 21 and grew up playing sweet vidya, enjoy it because one day you’ll wake up 29
heheh dicksword
>>721476264Armored Games specifically because of Bubble Tanks
>>721489248>is there a confirmed date?Unfortunately no. Inkwell said we'll be hearing more about it at MapleCon next month.
lmao
these people ripped off Madness
Loved to play this and insane aquarium on my parents old windows XP PC back in like 2011
sonic final fantasy was so fucking kino. the creator passed away a few months ago
not vidya but it fits here anyway
>>721476997nintendo revolution was sovl. I remember looking at these images in magazines in elementary school
Watching it rot in real-time as a teen permanently soured my mood.
>>721491286the spongebob edition of this was baller
>>721491764Playing smash bros brawl with the sideways wiimote was ludokino
>>721491757This, captain underpants, bone, and the 39 clues were all everyone read back in elementary school. The girls read the female version of diary of a wimpy kid
>>721491792It still hurts.I played their Bomberman minigame a shitton once that dropped.
>>721491792I played this for an hour just for the TF2 hat lol, I’m not even sure I liked it
>>721490836You definitely missed out on some jolly cooperation.Wish there was a community to meet up with more like minded zoomers from 97-2002. I can't relate to younger people and I can't relate to millenials.
>>721475067I was born in 97, first console was a Genesis/Mega Drive.Also had a PS1, PS2, GameBoy Advance, Nintendo DS, Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PSVita, Switch and ofc PC.My family was poor as shit and I had to always sell my previous console to afford the next one, only able to have 1 or 2 games at a time too, at some point traded my Xbox for a PS3 that lasted just a few months before selling that to pay bills.To this day I miss my PS2 and Vita like crazy, amazing consoles with so many gems in it.PC gaming for me was mostly garbage because only very recently I managed to get a gaming PC, so growing up with stuff like Club Penguin, Mini Clip, New Grounds, some other simpler games that I would download and a lot of MMOs, the saving grace for PC gaming for me as a kid.I feel sad for the new gens, they have absolutely no idea what they missed, the quality of games, the genuine inovation, genuine passion, that's why it's so hard to try and explain to them how bad gaming is now days for the most part, they can't understand something they never experienced, and everyone takes offense for you not liking what they like, so they take everything as a personal attack.I hope there'll be a massive gaming crash to reset this fucked up industry, that is the only hope at this point.
>>721491538>Zwinky>IMVU>WoozWorld>MovieStarPlanetIt's insane how many of these avatar social games for tweens were shat out on a daily basis.
I don’t mind gen alpha They are stupid or annoying as fuck sometimes but I remember my middle school days and know I wasn’t much better when I was their age
>>721492095I think being a grown adult on hating on literal children (the oldest gen alpha kid is barely 13) is always going to be retarded, but I do think it's a bit depressing that they don't have or even want actual kid-media anymore, just AI shit on Youtube or Roblox.
Posting this again for the ten people who played it.
Same anon. I still cringe at my younger self thinking about all the dumb shit I've done. I'd like to say I matured but I think I just learned to hide my autism and stop being socially inept.>>721492274True. I think theres a point where a line could be drawn to say things are objectively getting worse for them. Every generation has their "we had it so good" and you can point to actual great moments but idk what gen alpha has to look forward to.
>>721475067where's the shitty sonic OCs
>>721492274Kid-media still exists just parents aren’t having their kids watch it and instead are putting them on an iPad where they consume the slop AI listed
>>721492417First response was for >>721492095Look at me becoming Unc and not properly tagging the right post...

>>721491676Final Fantasy Sonic X and Sonic RPG, I love them both dearly.Sega being so utterly fucking demoralized by Chronicles that they'll never in their life do another Sonic RPG makes me genuinely sad.

I miss the Xbox 360/Legacy Minecraft editions They were by far the best Minecraft editions imo besides for no 3rd party server support
>>721492426No way in HELL I'm posting my shitty old Sonic OC here because I know for a fact some of the fags I used to talk to still frequent this place.I'm not getting caught out like that.
>>721492628Garry revoked my s&box key because I quite literally didn't play sandbox enough. I have no interest in his terrible attempt at recreating roblox slop.

>>721492905I heard that Italian Brainrot thing lost one of their characters due to a copyright takedown, so I just figured that was a thing now.Back in the day you'd see dozens of games try to recreate the experience of Pokemon, Mario Kart, or other shit in the Roblox engine, but now I never really hear about stuff like that.

>>721493359
I think part of the reason I'm sad with late zoomers and gen alpha is thar they can play anything they want now but because they can play everything they choose nothing. They didn't grow up with it and dont know what its like to just be stuck with 4 or 5 games for a year or two so you just make the most out of it and play the shit out of it. Which is why people form such strong connections to their games. Ironically this is the best time to play every old game theyre all emulatable in some way (except OG Xbox and Xbox360 emulators theyre kinda dookie).

I would do CRAZY things for Dark Cloud 3.
I was too young to play this but a friend had one of those modded DS Cartridges with pirated DS games. This may have effected the type of girls I was into. He also had hentai on there which was really funny and seemed like a strange place to save porn.
>>721492920360 Minecraft was a godsend if you didn't have a good enough PC to play it.Speaking of the 360, did anyone play this? Ridiculously good for a free game. Shame it's not emulatable on Xenia.

I was also born in 96 but I have a Gen Xer's taste in music (alternative rock/metal and other more guitar driven types of art music like prog rock/metal or psychedelic rock) and was exposed to shit older millenials did, so I'm more of a millenial than a zoomer.

>>721475067Did things really stop being fun or did we stop having fun?My hot take is that dark mode is keeping everyone depressed with its dismal color palette. No one (that wasn't a /g/ edgecase) had a problem with light mode as the default color option until the other option was presented. Maybe 40% of people who were "online" used f.lux, and the rest just didn't care.I feel like this same idea can be applied to most things that used to be fun, and since 2018? onward people have been collectively choosing the unhappy option. This has been in reverse recently with silly and funposting, specifically xeets which is what gets reposted to 4chan and Reddit anyway.Now, if only we could get companies to embrace this same idea. The DS was such a fun gimmick and the Switch 2 is so boring in comparison. Here's your game playing device, bro. Got some flatshit icons in there and a paid online service, and uhh no Swapnote equivalent or local multiplayer.
>>721511269thats just shit in general. they got rid of playable gamecubes in mcdonalds and playable gamecubes in gamestops and playable gamecubes inside walmarts. everything is depressing in hyper sanitized and hyper corporate
>>721511269People constantly crave change even when it's unnecessary. Website designers are the fucking bane of my existence, because not only do they make a site look worse, but they remove some functionality which the original had.
>>721511269zoomers spending 10+ hrs a day on their phones on average is the problem, not the color of their webpages and UIs.
I think a big part of older zoomers on here feeling so "out in the ether" in regards to relating to others is that amongst the youngest millennials and even a lot of their contemporaries being this chronically online or video game addicted was still weird and made you an outlier, whereas with young zoomers and alphies, they are chronically online, but in a inorganic, commercialized, and slop way. Lots of the older people who were "normal" have now been sucked into that matrix too. Think Tiktok, Instagram, and Facebook doomscrolling. These same people that do that shit all day would've called you a faggot if you wanted to stay inside and play I-Ninja on your ps2 instead of doing literally anything else outside 20 years ago. In short the Millennials that were first exposed to media and the internet the same way as the oldest zoomies are faggots who claim everything and say that the people born 1 year outside of the PEW Research Center definition of Millennial didn't have any of the shit they did and young zoomers and alphies genuinely grew up in another fucking world that is nearly unrelatable past a certain age threshold for "older zoomers" We Stand Alone
>>721476160Dude I wish this was still playable. They only managed to archive the pre-made games, not the custom player levels from this version. I used to play this game all night (huge ben 10 fan lol)
>>721511269People play too many movie games, not enough real games. Play an action or grand strategy game, no souls shit and no Sony walk and talk bullshit. Games are fun when you have to make a lot of consequential decisions, souls games have combat which is too shallow for this, and movie games obviously don't have anything engaging, it's just some failed director jerking himself off while crying that he didn't make it in Hollywood. RPGs are also to be avoided unless they have interesting branching quests, lots of ways to customize your character, or deep combat. Otherwise they are addictive but not truly engaging, because there's no real interesting decisions to be made. It doesn't matter what build you pick in Clair Obscur for example, Maelle will still end up doing 6 gorillion damage.
>>721476160What ever happened to Nerf, man? Did the onslaught of school shootings permanently tarnish their brand and relevancy? Maybe it's because I'm behind 7 adblockers, but I can't remember the last time I've seen anything related to Nerf, on the internet, TV, or in a toy store.
>>721513815I'm positive nerf is pretty popular still, though nowhere near as popular as it once was since kids don't go the hell outside. The gattling guns in particular have really improved from when we were kids.
I remember we got in trouble for playing this stupid shit in the computer lab when we were kids. I hope that senior year faggot got into a car crash for snitching.

>>721515138The best of times is always now, anon. Because this is the actionable present. If you want to make a website like one from the 2000s, nobody's stopping you.>mfw was trying to find a screenshot of the flash website of Metroid Prime Hunters but find that no media exists of itI'm probably the last guy on earth who remembers it.
>>721517936>If you want to make a website like one from the 2000s, nobody's stopping you.Especially these days. Retro intentionally shit slop is all the rage. An old school developer even commented on this in a recent interview, how they had to work hard to rid ps1 games of certain visual errors back in the day, but how certain games nowadays are intentionally aiming for these visual glitches in an effort to be retro. It was incomprehensible to the guy.
>>721518059I won't lie to you anon, that dev is just a bit uncultured. Brian Eno discussed this phenomenon in his 1996 book, A Year With Swollen Appendices:>Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided. It’s the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart. The distorted guitar sound is the sound of something too loud for the medium supposed to carry it. The blues singer with the cracked voice is the sound of an emotional cry too powerful for the throat that releases it. The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them.Nobody maligned Alfred Hitchcock for making Psycho a black and white film when color film had existed for decades by that point. You can pull any number of examples of this.
There was this old flash game and I've never seen any anon mention it, I've forgotten the name. It was like worms but snow-themed and it had online multiplayer, there were multiple shot types like bricks that did huge damage but didn't bounce or roll like the other snowballs.

>>721512781>the oldest zoomies are faggots who claim everything and say that the people born 1 year outside of the PEW Research Center definition of Millennial didn't have any of the shit they didA huge portion of older Z actually grew up really fucking fast, because of the internet. This effect is lesser on Gen Z kids who had huge parental controls (these people are retarded they cannot critically think at all, because they don't understand anything about the world. You can see them all the time on youtube as content creators who have the stupidest takes possible because they don't understand anything), or younger Gen Z kids who got a more retarded social media Roblox Minecraft version of the internet. So a lot of older Gen Z gets really confused, when millennials hop in with 'wtf are you talking about I played club penguin and webkinz at 14,' 'what the fuck do you mean you played club penguin and webkinz at 14?' Because to an older Gen Z they can't fathom wanting to do that at that age. A lot of older Gen Z grew out of those kids games by like ten years old, but 10 - 13 at maximum. Millennials fuck with timelines a lot too to try to make themselves younger when they were doing things, so like they would be 14+ playing club penguin with gen Z seven year olds. Older gen Z can't fathom that. Another example, I saw a youtube video of a de-trans whose story didn't make sense to me, she was embarrassed she did it, had no real explanation for why she did it, so she was trying to blame Tumblr, but her timeline didn't add up. It was so bad she literally tried to say she was on Tumblr before Tumblr was even created, but there were several other problems with her timeline too. Millennials do that a lot. They didn't grow up as fast, because of the economy and their lack of internet.
>>721519216I don't recommend using one or two or three stories to blanketly discuss an entire generation consisting of hundreds of millions.
>>721519312American website mostly discussing America, so that's for one. I'm also splitting Gen Z into three separate halves, and mostly talking about the youngest subsection of millennials, because I really don't think 20+ millennials would be like yeah let me log onto club penguin with seven year olds. The fact kids are socialized in the same school system, have the same pop culture influences, live under the same government policies, etc means yeah you can generalize. There's also way less Gen Z (and A) then other generations as people continue to have less kids. This is literally what society does in research we generalize about populations of people, and I'm explaining why I'm generalizing based on observable examples that other people can go look for themselves, or add onto if they have seen or have not. People with your mentality are why the world is getting more retarded, and why we're dealing with Ipad kids, because trying to think about anything freaks you out.

>>721475067these old mario sprites were greatthe new ones look generic
>>721525419Can’t really help you here. The age of fine tuned dopamine pumping algorithms and constantly being at risk of being filmed doing anything remotely cringe or even just being a human in public has isolated a large portion of the younger generations. The two types of Gen z men I know are bluepilled hustle culture subscribers or outright doomers who work and go home to sit on vidya, phone, or in rare cases an actual computer. I like looking at contemporary threads for gen 6-7 games on gamefaqs to read people actually using the internet what it was for and sharing a hobby they’re all passionate about. The only places with a semblance of that left with traffic are Reddit or redditera and leftist politics are nearly as front and center as the fucking games.
>>721491286I actually cried at the end
>>721525419I flit between several altchans and there's certainly a better sense of community there, you'd probably enjoy that much if you don't already do the same, but for specifically what you're talking about? That's pretty much gone.Maybe get lucky on Neocities or something and find something akin to that there is my only other suggestion.

>>721529451Prove them wrong, prove THEM wrong. Protip: you won't.
Society is now being run by AI algorithms for the benefit of demons, we will be heading for levels of dystopia previously only possible in science fiction. Everything will be produced with only profits in mind, and human beings reduced to something similiar to cattle for corporate entities. It is unironically over. Grab a beer and enjoy the time we have left as there is no changing the trajectory now. Try to change the system and noone will be interested, and the few who would be interested already have their minds occupied with whatever the FOTM social issue is at that time such as BLM or abortion
>>721529330The sad truth is that you don't even need retarded millennials to kill these threads. These end up falling apart anyway because of how broad and divided the Gen Z range is.>1997-1999 zooms can't relate to anyone but themselves or late millennials>2000-2002 zooms can't relate to anyone but themselves or late 90s zooms>core zooms (lets use 2003-2004 as the oldest) want to relate to older zooms but get denied, and they also can't relate to anyone born after them.And none of them are really lying. There needs to be a rewrite on this generation range, but no one has a fucking clue how.

>>721475067Its pretty amazing how far Smash Flash 2 went since the first public demos.
>>721475067https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjdEkUR8j7IXbox 360 Launch. Miss when a new console was something EVERYONE was in on. It was an event.
As someone born in 1997, every time I see anons assuming Gen Z are all broccoli-haired Tiktok addicts I'm always confused because my childhood was nothing like that, at allHell, I didn't even get my first smartphone until I was 15Then again I had a millennial older sister and parents who were kinda stuck in the 70s/80s in terms of taste so I might just be an outlier
i miss old minecraft online, pre-2016 onlineclassic games like hunger games and UHC were beyond kino, now everything is monopolized by hypixel, and that place is packed full of ultra tryhard zoomer hordes with femboy skins90% of players just play in skyblock and bedwars, while every other gamemode is left to rot, even skywars is falling in popularity
I remember when millennials used to shit on zoomers for liking Super Mario Sunshine saying that we only like because we grew up with it. Flash forward 15 years, and suddenly Sunshine is their childhood and we weren't even alive for it, and we're trying to steal it with fake nostalgia.
>>721496401>>721525419I mean I guess NeoGAF and VGR but most forums are kind of dead. Personally I'm not a fan of the format of scrolling endlessly through lists. I would unironically use a 4chan clone that wasnt anonymous if it still allowed uncensored speech. However with how crazy the world is becoming I doubt there will be much usage in that since anonymity is the only thing protecting most people right now in other countries. Specifically for Americans though? I would use that kind of website. I wish we could all hang out more and have an avatar to associate each other with because a lot of you anons seem chill. Unless someone consistently makes zoomer nostalgia threads this is gonna be the end if it before we see each other for awhile again. Anyways the gamecube demo disc logo being a different shade of blue with bloom on top of it still activates my neurons. Its aesthetically pleasing to me.

>>721535263I've seen anons try to tell me that I was too young for Ed Edd n Eddy, a show that ended when I was like 12It's unhinged
>>721475125Holy... thank you, anon. Flipnote Hatena was so cool.
>>721475741Man... I remember playing this with my school friends. After the Saturday morning cartoons, hopping on Windows Live Messenger and seeing if your buds were up for hanging out in Club Penguin. Then I remember getting banned saying "fuck" or any other dumb shit, laughing our asses off. Good fucking simple times.
>>721476045>recent Roblox scandals.I'm guessing it has to do with pedos>>721476264Newgrounds and Miniclip were the shit
>>721484187Early zoomers can also be computer illiterates. It comes down as to whether they grew up with Windows or Mac because my 2001 fellow babby classmates had no idea what emulators were and begged me to teach them how to get one for their shitty macbooks as if I was some computer wizard after seeing me play Mario 64 in class. I was just lucky that my older brother who knows far more because he grew up with MS-DOS taught me how to use emulators when I was a toddler.
>>721476972Same. Is there a reason for this? Is it simply due to flash players not being a thing anymore or just a profits thing?
>>721535272Someone could make a discord but that's such a mixed bag especially from 4chan lol. 4chan is cool because there's no pressure to immediately reply we can hold conversations that could extend beyond the day. Talking with no pressure and gradually building up friendships to daily chatting is the way to go but I just want to chat with more zoomers from 1997-2002
>>721535953Had the same experience. The amount of emulators I installed in phones for people because they saw me playing GBA games in class was absurd. I'm incredibly thankful for the hand-me-down shitty little Dell that I took care of for damn near a decade. Thanks to that, I have many good memories of Windows XP.God, I miss XP.
Im sorry but 96 is zoomer and pew research center can get fucked. First generation where majority of people were too young to remember 9/11. First generation to enter HS in the 2010's(which is actually huge because this was the advent of highschool culture in the US dramatically changing) No one on this planet would deny Tom Holland and Zendaya are zoomers and they were both born in 96.
>>721514358>Apparently 96 is considered millennialApparently. Was also born in 96. I still consider myself a zoomer just in regards to the fact that I do not relate at all to millenial "humor" and never have, as well as other cultural touchstones that I either didn't even register or considered lame as a kid. Literally any other type of humor is funnier than millenial humor, though.
>>721536251>>721535272I'm glad I'm not the only one who is depressed by how few spaces there are to have normal conversations with people in this age bracket. I'm sick of having to resort to fucking sub9eddits or Discords. In most cases they get cannibalized by ego-maniacs with anime pfps or they turn into a collection of the most unhinged, unlikeable people in the world all vying for attention on something that's only a step removed from a social media site. Old school forums had a touch of that with users who'd be desperate to become known but it was generally only ever a handful and often they were bullied by the community at large when boundaries were overstepped
>>721535439A majority of millennials are unaware that most older Cartoon Network shows went on for years, counting both new episodes and reruns. They all think they just magically stopped being a thing after the first few years of the 2000s.>Ed, Edd n Eddy ended in 2009>Foster's Home ended in 2009>Billy & Mandy ended in 2007
>>721535272>I wish we could all hang out more and have an avatar to associate each other with because a lot of you anons seem chill. Unless someone consistently makes zoomer nostalgia threads this is gonna be the end if it before we see each other for awhile again.yeah that's pretty much sums it up for me too. and i tried using tripcodes here but it's not really the same thing as a forum. not saying i want 4chan to be like that, it's just that knowing regulars hits differently.
>>721535953I'm a 1999 babby and I'm not great with computers either. Whenever my family got a new piece of technology either my dad or one of my older brothers would set it up, and they'd just yell at me if I ever tried to tinker with anything.Though I don't have much excuse because I have a younger brother who managed to figure shit out while I just allowed myself to rot.
>>721535272>I would unironically use a 4chan clone that wasnt anonymous if it still allowed uncensored speechYou're never going to get that without having to share a website with people who are purely using it because they aren't allowed on other websites.That's the case for all those Youtube-clone sites that try to emulate mid-late 2000s Youtube. Instead of getting wacky, interesting videos, you get retards coming in with gore and extremist conspiracy theory videos instead.
In general, I miss the old Nintendo Wi-Fi server games like Mario Kart DS. But anyone remember the Phantom Hourglass multiplayer? I played the absolute shit out of that game and got to S rank. Tried playing it during the last few months of Nintendo announcing they were shutting off servers but couldn't match up against anybody.
Speaking of Nostalgia we need some kind of website to start archiving all the aesthetics from games, websites, movies from 90s-2010 because I cannot reasonably remember all this shit. Nickolodean? That shit is called Wacky Pomo. Remember when Metalcore and all those inky flowing shit was popular too? I miss all of it but I dont know the names
>>721536771why are millennials so kind with their free bumps? they will forever be our /b/rothers in arms.
>>721525419>myspaceI don't understand why people don't consider it the same as Facebook. It was basically the same, but MySpace was more customisable and was most centered around music. It was still a social media.Tumblr was perfect in the late 2000's and early 2010's, it was a very customisable social media.If you want a music centered social media, TikTok is unironically the place. But you might not like its interface and execution.>>721527823>neocitiesDon't bother, 90% of the pages are now LARPs of a personal website of the 2000's that only talks about things from that time. There were more interesting and personal pages in 2018-2021.
>>721536601>Powerpuff Girls ended in 2005>Johnny Bravo ended in 2004>Dexter's Lab ended in 2003Like you said, that's not even accounting for reruns. I think the only original CN show that actually ended in the 90s was Cow and Chicken.
>>721476160I remember when every website had shitty games.

>>721537443All three of those shows were also actively rerunning as late as the early 2010s on Boomerang if you want to extend their reach over zoomers.
Anyone here use MSN Messenger? I personally didn't (first time I went chatting online was Facebook in 2010) but a lot of my primary school classmates used it back in the mid/late 2000s.>t. 1997 anon
>>721537356>I don't understand why people don't consider it the same as Facebook. It was basically the same, but MySpace was more customisable and was most centered around music. It was still a social mediano tracking/spying/algorithms or invasive JS made for your endless consumption, no boomers, million users instead of billions and mostly young people (think about that for a second), still was not targeted by politics. it was literally just people and their interest and it was made mostly to make real friends around you (because everyone in your HS would use it, and it also required real creativity). the real life modern equivalent would be instagram because facebook is just boomer conspiracies. but instagram does not even come close, you just post photos and nothing else. and the average age is also pretty sparse. i agree on tumblr. though everything about this was more of a byproduct of a less-alwaysonline age. the internet was still a thing you sat down and you had to connect to, separate from real life. outside life and friends were still a thinginternet trends reflected real life and not the other way around.
>>721499730Its been 13 years since it ended on a cliffhanger and I'm still pissed. Also once the yogscast got rid of sjin and turps and Simon was on a long hiatus I had given up on them. The new people they have now are literally soulless unfunny women and fat men.
>>721536741That's why generals are banned - they don't want posters to get to know each other.You could try disguising it as AI Art general or Smash Bros general or Rape in Dark Fantasy general or something else that the mods will consider a 'cultural phenomenon'.
>>721477102Alvin is a genius when it comes to fighting choreography but it's ruined by how fucking autistic he is
>>721475067I had a ps2 until like 2010 cause my parents wouldn't upgrade till the really cheap ps3 models came out, I played the shit out of the downgraded version of sonic unleashed. Some time ago i ended up playing it again cause it got recomped, and I was honestly blown away. All these years I thought it was just a graphical difference between the two games but no the ps3 version of unleashed was an entirely different game. >>721475298I still hate the nintendo switch because it robbed us of an actual handheld this generation. God i miss my dsi, when i first got it I didn't have any games on it so i would literally just mess around with all the fun little programs that came preinstalled.
being a middle zoomer sucks ass because its the time where you notice things were changing a lot faster than usual. I remember growing up I used to say gay and retard all the time until like 2017 and notice that things weren't right, and you feel like you lived life at your prime at age 7 and already lose all hope once you hit 13.
>>721538124I was born in 1998, my sister was 6 years older than me so her internet usage influenced mine a lot and MSN was a big part of it. I met so many randoms on there, can't even remember how, mostly other kids but I always remember being impressed by the fact you could create, share and save custom emotes even animated ones nowadays Discord charges you a fucking fee
>>721538268myspace just died at the right time before it could be replaced by older people or become mainstream.
>>721488216>WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA STOP PLAYING WITH MY TOOOOOYSyou'd think people would grow out of this behaviour by now
>>721538268I think the big “can’t relate” factor that divides older/core zoomers and those younger is being old enough to consciously remember normies as being people that you couldn’t bring up internet shit to because they would genuinely have no idea or frame of reference to what you were talking about at all. Now you can bring up some kind of obtuse brainrot shit to a boomer and they will have some type of comprehension at least due to Facebook/surface web addiction. Being chronically online up until even the damn near mid 2010s made you feel like you were from another planet.
>>721484187Why would you end the zoomer generation in 2013? What of significance happened in ~2018 to be a generational cutoff?
>>721539245lets be real zoomers from 1997 do not want anything to do with zoomers from 2007. no matter how many memes say that they are alike.
this was the shit
>>721539245Most people nowadays think the zoomer/alpha cutoff is ~2010-2012.As for significant events... COVID?
>>721539245>What of significance happened in ~2018 to be a generational cutoff?Nobody knows, theres multiple cut offs for zoomers for whatever reason. 2010, 2011, 2012, or 2013 are the ones used.If it was up to me I'd cut it off at 2007.
>>721475376Roblox had 6 million players total by 2011, and yet nobody outside of the internet knew what the fuck it was.How times change.
>>721539245I'd personally cut off Zoomer Births around 2011. Trump Presidency presented a huge shift in the American cultural zeitgeist. I'd argue not having memories of a pre-Trump America is the cutoff for gen A.

>>721538626I really do miss when they made entirely different fucking games across console generations (or more commonly, between handheld/console) for the same game that shared the same general theme and mechanics but offered wholly different experiences.Now everything needs to be at parity with each other so you'll just get massively downgraded experiences instead. Shit sucks.

>>721539319>>721540109tbf as an older Gen Y I want little to do with younger Millennial and the cancel culture and horrible politics they celebrated.Every generation has early, middle, and late cohorts.>>721539393COVID makes sense, but in that case the cutoff should be around 2017 for 'can't remember life before COVID changed the world'.>>721539430Why 2007? Housing market crash? a 10 year generation would be tiny, unless you want to move the start of Gen Z to the early 90s. (Going from 'can't remember life before 9/11' to 'can't remember like before the world wide web'.)>>721539680The first Trump term did show a reactionary shift in the culture in response to SJWs going full masks off during GamerGate and full throttle after that. But the real cultural shift didn't happen until his second election - and you can see that cultural shift happening in real time now as cancel culture abruptly swings from being a left-wing censorship weapon to a right-wing censorship weapon.
>>721540475I kinda like terminalmontage though his newest stuff feels too clean. He doesn't make jokes like he did in the Yoshi Island video anymore.
>>721540512I fucking heard it as read that
>>721484069Only true ones remember of this trainwreck
>>721540852>But the real cultural shift didn't happen until his second electionI'd argue its less that the cultural shift is happening now, and more that the right has finally given up on the pre-2016 zeitgeist being salvaged.
>>721485347But do you remember the funny Taunt Parties?
>>721539680I really think it sucks that late-zoomies and alphas today will never know what the internet was like pre-2016.I am not even talking about from a SJW leftist perspective or anything like that. Trumps win made those who were butthurt decide that the internet had to be ultra-sanitized and that political discourse had to trickle down into EVERY corner of the internet, especially on kid-centric websites. You could argue that there was a shit ton of online political discourse during Obama as well, especially during his later years, but there were still a majority of websites where no one absolutely talked about politics.

Honestly I miss Brawl’s straightforwardness with revealing characters in a rapid fire format, from this point on every Smash game will have cinematic trailers for better or worse and don’t forget this is where the budget of a possible Subspace goes into, ever since people leaked the cutscenes on the internet. If Sakurai isn’t salty about it anymore he’d include something similar Subspace but for Kirby Air Riders

>>721542212>the right has decided to push their own cancel-culture instead?Pretty much yeah. To be honest I doubt we'll ever go back to the freedom of speech that was enjoyed in the 90's and 00's. When every retarded thing you ever said is documented and can be pulled out of context to whip a mob into a frenzy, the temptation to wield that mob is too much to resist. The right is late to the game, but its the consequence of modern social media.
post your main>>721541446brawl easily had the best culture surrounding it, both before and after release. cartoons, machinimas, parodies, hoaxes, it really felt like the first game at the time that really lived up to the idea of being a celebration of gaming both in the game itself and the creations it inspired that hasn't really been captured since
>>721476160Ben 10 had such a chokehold on a majority of early and core Zoomers. >Original series ran from 2005 to 2008>Alien Force ran from 2008 to 2010>Ultimate Alien ran from 2010 to 2012>Omniverse ran from 2012 to 2014The 2016 reboot is such putrid dogshit that I don't even think Gen Alpha kids are watching it.
The all-time weirdest thing that is taken as "normal" in our culture, are the reaction videos. Lets watch someone else watch something and laugh at them laughing at the video. Weirdest thing ever, and I'll never forget the first time some random person popped up in the corner of a video I was watching and just started telling me in words what I was already seeing.

After 9/11 people started to self-censor, and when Bush invaded Iraq for no reason, he started cancel culture and used "why do you hate America?" to shut down opposing viewpoints.Of course, compared to the 10s and early 20s, that level of cancel culture was nothing. Which worries me because it means our new right-wing cancel culture could also keep escalating and make the 10s seem like a haven of free speech by comparison.Really hope I'm wrong on that one.

I will agree there was a period shortly after 9/11 where people were touchy but thats the norm for any national tragedy. >Which worries me because it means our new right-wing cancel culture could also keep escalating and make the 10s seem like a haven of free speech by comparison. Really hope I'm wrong on that one.>I think it will only escalate. Not due to ideology but because technology will only make it easier to rouse the plebs into a virtual witch hunt.I do agree there - the internet and social media make it much easier to get a howling mob together. And the permanency of that part of the internet means that any harmless you joke made will be preserved forever, so that eventually when a culture shift turns it offensive, that howling mob will be after your head, no matter how long ago it was.
>>721475067Zoom niggers weren't born or were in preschool in those years. There is no zoomer nostalgia except fortnite and minecraft.

>>721545309Are you telling me that it's impossible for someone born in 2002 to have nostalgia for a flash game from 2010?I know you're retarded, but think a bit longer before answering.
>>721541919I didn’t really into using the internet as a social platform until my mid to late teens and even then only ever went imageboards like here or MMO forums. Prior to that only used it for playing flash games or looking up cheat codes and that sort of shit.
At what age my fellow zoomerbros got their first PC?For me it was 13yo, never went back since. Mainly to play Hearthstone and early cs:go.
>>721546441Depends. Do you mean first computer in general or first gaming PC?Because I got my first laptop when I was 13, but I didn't build my first rig until I was 24.
>>721546441I got mine when I was around 16 or 17. Used to exclusively play xbox 360 with my two best friends but they eventually moved on to PC for a year without me but they ended up saving up money and surprising me by buying parts and building a PC for me. I'll always be grateful. It's a shame we all stopped hanging out and talking. That's life I suppose.
>>721490301Holy shit that's an actually core flash game memory.I remember playing this a lot after school on a site called Agame (?) or something similar.
>>721541156still hasnt and never will release. The team went totally radio silent right?
>>721541791>something similar Subspace but for Kirby Air RidersI wish but no. Already confirmed its only going to have two modes. Air Ride and City Trial.
>>721543783That sucks.
>>721542361>got a gorilla for sale, got a gorilla for sale
>>721496401I feel the problem is that older zoomers and younger zoomers grew up in a practically different world Older Zoomers still got the golden age of the "wild west" internet and are nostalgic for flash games, but younger zoomers grew up with mobile devices, social media and centralized internet, and are more attached to older iphone games.I didn't get a phone until I was in late middle school early high school, so I don't share remotely the same amount of nostalgia for anything mobile related that other zoomers do.
