>>725545849the iphone brought in too many normalfags.
>>725545849>diablo 2peak uncslop
>>725545849Nothing, people still drink beer while playing grinding games, the tech has just improved since that picture
>>725545849Microsoft (a branch of the US government/military) getting serious about videogames, seeing them as tool for propaganda.
>>725545849Nothing? This will be literally me when the new grim dawn xpac drops. I guess I wont be playing on a crt like that.
>>725545849>What killed this era of gaming?Pajeets like OP.
>Diablo 2>2007Fake and gay
>>725545849that still happens, it's just in front of a flatter screen and you'd call the guy drinking beer a normalfag now
>2007>It's not even the 90sSTOP THE FUCKING CLOCK I'M GETTING OUT OF HERE AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>725545849I dunno what you're talking about, I play Deeblo Too every day.
>>725545849Capitalism killed gaming like it kills every single other thing men has invented
>>725545849Fuck you and your gay ass reaction folder
>>725545849Trust me on this, it was the flatscreen monitor. Hear me out. Not only did visual fidelity crash, but the increase in desk space turned the computer into a place to live opposed to a tool to access information.
>>725546015Social media is the death of everything, it will be the death of humanity. I am not being hyperbolic.
>>725545849People do this every day.
>>725545849Blizzard
You can play games and drink bear?You can't make photos?You don't have brother?Not my problem.
>>725545849EA
>>725546056japanese companies like snoy and nintendo ruined gaming. xbox hasn't even been relevant in 20 years
I still drink beer and play diablo 2
>>725545849jews
i look like this and i do this
>>725545849I'm just realising now that gelled hair was the millennial equivalent of the broccoli head
>>725546428It wasn't popular
>>725546262TRVKE
>>725546195yeah
>>725546173>the increase in desk space turned the computer into a place to live opposed to a tool to access informationIf something, it was the fact that an LCD isn't work to look at like CRT is. The colors and contrast on a CRT is nicer, but it also tires your eyes out enough that you couldn't go on for 12 hour just looking at the screen without feeling it. Yes this happened even if you cranked it up to 85 Hz.
>>725546460It was very popular in my school
>>725546460it was pretty popular here
>>725545849ease of accesscomputers were still esoteric during that time, thoughbeit less so by the time of Diablo 2but as OSs became more advanced and simplified, the barrier to entry shrankand now with smart phones obfuscating almost every function under the hood to make it run, even tribesmen in mud huts on the other side of the world can operate it
I think people have forgotten that there was a time when you didn't do things purely for the performative aspect of it. You weren't aware that you were drinking beer and playing old video games, you just did it. Social media has made us extremely conscious of ourselves to the extent that going back to a simpler lifestyle is in and of itself because of social media.
>>725546460it was, just not for anywhere near as long as the whole broccoli head look has managed to maintain.
>>725545849>What killed this era of gaming?Nothing, all that's changed is why we're still drinking and playing Diablo 2.
>>725546460It dominated western Europe for over two decades.
>>725546428I dunno it had to compete with undercuts
>>725545849Gaming became a potential career, which inspired entire generations to start taking a hobby more seriously than their day jobs.
>>725546460>It wasn't popularNigger what? It was insanely fucking popular. Look at any yearbook of the time, any band of the time.
>>725545849>What if my companies next venture doesnt sell well?>is that just it?>end of the line for jew&co?>no.>there must be a way to make a bare minimum so that jew&co lives forever and always growsAnd there you have it. Yada yada publicly traded company blah blah Board of trustees yap yap subscription live service etc etc. Pile on enough shit and youl build a castle like any other. Just smelly.
Empathy, tolerance, acceptance, and other (((judeo-christian))) bullshit ruined it.
>>725546016If by grew you mean it was taken over by mobile slop and Hollywood trying to take over because games were making more money than movies and TV.
>>725545849>man drinking beverages and playing videogames I'm literally doing it right now.
>>725546836also bean counters and "market research"
>>725545849Web 2.0
>>725546460You clearly weren't there. Everyone used hair gel back in the 80s and 90s.
>>725546668not nearly as cringe and time specific as broccoli and spiky gelled hair.
>>725545849Half Life, which paved the way for Call of Duty
>>725545849Video games were still novel enough that you could literally imagine yourself in another world through the screen. Not to mention that you didn't have the constant pings and notifications of a modern cell phone to take you out of the experience because McDonald's just added another coupon/deal to their McApp.
>>725546050>peak uncslopStop talking in niggerspeak, you genetic failure.
>>725546923maybe it was just my area then because I remember a good 5 or 6 year period in the 90s where almost everyone had one
>>725546256still can't get over the fact that jews can get away with public executions like that. you have to keep in mind that they chose to kill him in public to send a message
>>725545849I'm glad newer generations are moving away from drugs and alcohol. Eating healthy gives the same kind of mood regulation and highs
>>725545849It's still alive, except he'd be playing some crappy live service slop like Valorant.
>>725547071I fully believe it won't be long before people check out of this lifestyle and we go back to using phones less.
>>725545849I can't believe nobody's blaming The Jews
>>725545849>old good new badfuck off
>>725546051This, I'm nearly 40 years old and I'm going to play Starcraft while I drink beers and chat with my brothers later tonight. Also, Diablo is shit and always was shit.
>>725546904That's a 2007 picture. Mid 2000s, at least in the midwest near Chicago, it was entirely dead. It was like goth or emo kids, you know one in the school who was actually doing that style
>>725546836>before that gaming was awesome!sure buddy
>>725545849Normies and women. I say this as a woman enjoyer.
>>725547158Im only here for the lows
>>725545849Literally nothing killed this. People still drink beer and play Diablo 2. You're a fucking schizo retard who will die alone and unloved.
essentially globalism turned everything into a third world country

>>725547906Fuck you, I'll be playing Diablo 2 in 2027 too
>>725547609All the emo kids here dressed like chess club dorks and listened to music that sounded like a mix of jazz and yoko ono. They called the hair gel people, "scene kids".
>>725547762why did this post make you seethe so hard
>>725548080He made a valid observation.

>>725548080
>>725545849normalfaggots unironically. Uncreatives and brainlets demanding realism just put a strain in development and they end up not buying games anyway. Root cause of shitty movie games and arenaslop

>>725547071>you could literally imagine yourself in another world through the screen.this never went anywhere
Diablo was like seven years old by that point, if you're playing a game from 2018 it'd be the same vibe
>>725548080nostalgia kills soul
>>725545849normies, dudebro shitalso activism and politics getting shoved into video games
>>725545849i literally do this once a week or so
I can't believe jews stopped white man from drinking and playing video games
>>725546836>because games were making more moneyYes, that would be "growing," you fucking retard.
>>725545849brother of estranged friend that looked like he could be in this picture himself killed himself a couple of years ago, the fucking prick
>>725545849What do you mean? I still drink beer and play with friends. Friday evening, blast melodeath from winamp, grind in diablo2 resurrected and chat with friends in IRC. I’ll never change.

>>725545849>2007>still a CRT monitorlol poorfag
>>725550038It was his retro setup for D2
>>725550038I remember playing Battlefield 2142 on my shitty 1024x768 CRT on my PC with a Q8200 and 8600 GT in 2008.Fun times.
>>725546015I think so too, i got rid of my twitter recently. It wasn't good for my mental health.
>>725545849I'm still living it
>>725545849Greed, thanks blackrock/blackstone and vaguard
>>725545849>piczoomers don't drink, simple as
>>725545849We didn't vet the hobby enough. We let tech corporations get too powerful. And we let a bunch of businessbros/ceos rape all the game developers.
>>725545849Game developers and pro gamers didn't unionize.
>>725545849The generic home PC started becoming a better bang for buck than consoles, so consoles could either try to acquire what the home PC market had to avoid losing their advantage completely when selling locked down PCs with deferred costs, or they could destroy it before they got forced out.They chose both and are now kings of a dead market.
>>725550038I used a CRT in 2007. Games like Chaos Head and Touhou looked awesome on it
>>725546195We need hardcore social media and dating app reform
>>725546585I think broccoli head is just the natural 'do of today's mulatto youngsters
i remember as a kid in 7th grade we first started getting interested in girlsmy friend got together with a girl from our classwe used to be bros and watch porn together so one day he invites me over to his placehis parents were gone and it was just us and his girlwe all got naked and i got to lick her pussy and rub my dick against her hairless cuntshit was so fricking cash that i still masturbate to the memory of itnow iam a miserable drug addict who lives in a tiny ass apartment and never goes outsidei wonder what my teen me would think of me nowmaybe not start with fucking weed and quit smokingdumb little retard but yeah atleast i got to see and touch pussy irl

>>725546262I can drink beerI can have my photo takenI can sit with my brotherI cant play a good recently released game. I mourn.
>>725554056But I mean you had sex since then right? Everyone has had sex at least a single time.
>>725554264only with a few femboys and regular guys but never a girl i genuinly dont know how to talk to girls without getting extremly flustered or scared since i only like cringe shiti think about suicide daily but iam also too afraid of pain and the finality of death to ever go throu with it
>>725545849I'm still living in this era.
Free HD porn streaming was the death of video game culture.
>>725546262>drink bear?nani?

>>725554468HD Porn and onlyfans is genuinly so fucking lamei want bad quality camrips backkkknone of that fake gay shit even if you search for amateur and homemade youll ONLY get fake shit
>>725546428Gel was gen x. The Bieber Beatles surfer dude cut was millennial
>>725546015SpbpSocial media ruined every comfy aspect of modern life.
>>725547257i'm already trying different "dumbphones" to go back to that lifestyle.also i want videogames to be short adventures , not giant checklists
>>725554617fucking social media and every bitchass on the street having camerasoh you did something slightly emberassing in public? some stupid fuckinG WHORE filmed it and put it on tiktok so your life is basicly ruined now haha
>>725554617Dont get on social media then you dumb fucking nigger
>>725547257Believe it or not, I think it'll be zoomers leading that trend.
>>725554368This fag has had more sex than me Wtf am I doing wrong
>>725545849i drink whiskey and play Europa Universalis V
>>725555160Fags have it even easier than women. You have no idea how promiscuous they are or how low their standards are.
>>725545849something happened in 2012

>>725545849Beer is goyslop.
>>725549960It was the biggest game of the time, but gaming as a whole wasn't quite as mainstream.
X360's rise during 2007-2008.
>>725555050I deleted my facebook account back in highschool and I'm 35. I never had instagram in my life. But it matters little when everything and everyone around me is social media centric. It's still a blight upon the developed world.
>>725554554>he isn’t a crew member of the ArgamaPersonally I wish they had regular bear, light bear is kind of watery
>>725546015It's actually smartphones. Social media wasn't a problem when you had to make a conscious effort to use it.
Greed by way of line-always-goes-up garbage behavior that has nothing to do with making a good game and getting people to buy it, normalfaggotry, and the realization that there was an audience of people that would accept every bit of dark pattern, exploitative, predatory monetization out there without question and they were much more of them than oldfags who would object to this behavior. >>725546015Part of the issue as it coincided with bringing the people above online, but not necessarily what killed that era.
>>725550038>used a crt with a built in dvd and vhs player up until 2012
>>725547158They are moving away from alcohol not drugs, and they are moving away from alcohol because they are smoking weed by themselves in their room
Reminder that 4chan is social media and has the same trappings >Rage baiters left alone to sow discontent among different groups and derail conversations>bots>Jannies are corrupt and half of them only applied because they're losers with control issues who ignore the rules and act on their ownIf you're here, you're on social media. You are not immune to propaganda >Hurr then why are you hereI am not immune to propagandaVideo games? Ocarina of time is based
>>725556748This is what I did as a teen before I could buy alcohol. I guess the zoomers are alright. t.35
>>725545849Zoomers. You guys refused to play Diablo 2 until they gave it woke remaster. Now you pretend that you always liked it.
>>725546256this but unironically
>>725557032Social proofing aka likes and retweets is what ruins social media. Women should not e getting 100,000 likes on an ironically terrible bikini pic. MAGA types shouldn't think they are modern day philosophers for agreeing with Trump on everything. Etc. it over inflates egos, destroys self image and gives an end goal that for almost everyone won't improve their life in anyway. The equivalent here is getting a few (YOU)s. Even then there is no complex record of it, nothing you post here really builds towards a false goal. It's just nakedly truthful distraction.
>>725545849Any other answer but "women ruining the space" is wrong
>>725549235i cant believe leftists are still disingenuous
>>725557032>He thinks he's not immune to propaganda
>>725545849What's stopping you from doing this?
>>725545946unc up in here calling others old lmao. like yo, sit tf down bro.
>>725554210Come to Utah or Nevada, they are the same thing at this point
>>725546015Yep. I don't think it's possible to fully convey to someone who didn't live through people going from no smartphones to having having them. I have found life unrecognizable since 2012-ish. It fundamentally changed even the people I grew up with, don't get me started about new gens that have had one from middle school or earlier. In a sense that whole 2011 end of the world schizo shit was true. That was when people in my area all got one. Things were so good.
>>725555996"Social media" didn't exist before smartphones
>>725558000What did he mean by this?
>>725546460All these zoom don't know. Me and my buddies all had halo 1/2 lan parties on weekends. Nobody brought that shit up at school because people would think you're a fucking weirdo. My chad buddy wore a Halo 2 shirt to school once in like 2005 or 06 and got fucked with for years because of it. Zoomers are cultureless faggots who can't do anything genuinely, it always has to be behind 20 layers of irony so they can say they were joking if someone calls them cringe.
>>725558000Myspace was huge you're fucking retarded. It was still the beginning of the rot though. Stop trying to pretend you know anything because you watch le y2k aesthetic videos.
>>725545849that hair was always way too much fucking work
>>725558272wasnt dfw complaining about irony like 25 years ago? disingenuous fag
>>725546460A lot of kids didn't have computers. I remember in sixth class we got a computer and the teacher installed age of empires 2 on it. 30 kids pushing to watch the one kid who got picked to play that day.
>>725558000Quintessential zoomer post.
>>725558000yes it did, myspace, bebo etc predated them.
>>725558728I don't even know who dfw is because I'm not an oversocialized zoomer faggot like (you).

>>725546016Based Zappa scholar
I don't drink or smoke, but I will sometimes have some THC edibles. I often have one and stick on old episodes of South Park, Malcolm in the Middle, Jackass, whatever. I'll watch them while playing vidya, sometimes old sometimes new. Gf watches my TV on the wall, sometimes we play stuff together. It's comfy. Don't give into despair.
The early 2000s were crazy I had a Puma beret and silver hair gel. It was considered (relatively) normal since my mother was the one that bought it for me.
>>725546015Not really it was smartphone. We used to have shit like MSN messenger and Hi5 and even facebook at its beginning and all were fine until smartphones ruin everything by giving normies easy access to our stuff. Stuff that they used to not understand and they called it nerdy.
>>725560916Maybe just say that instead of assuming people know irrelevant pseduointellectual shit you're talking about. You're not on /lit/.
>>725547257And what leads you to believe this? If anything they're digitizing your life. Money, info, everything. You can't even buy stuff without phone in some stores already.
>>725555050I'm pretty anti-social media myself but even I can't avoid using it. Facebook for instance won't show entire page of information if you don't register and sign in, and some stuffs like academic books are sold exclusively on that accursed place.
>>725546035Yes, things started to change here. The rise of mobile app gaming. Steam (as much as I love it) killing in-box games. SC2 was the last box game I bought. Free to play gaming, and Twitch streaming are problems too. Games are also more costly, and thus more risky.Vidya was historically a relatively small industry. But around 2007-2010, unprecedented amounts money began to pour into the industry. You used to have to make Final Fantasy 7 in order to make a lot of money. Now you can be a hott girl, turn on a camera, and make more money than entire successful franchises. Now, you can make more money selling a texture... for a fucking gun.Say what you want about CoD4 and Halo bros. At least they were gamers, who bought physical games, and played on a couch next to another bro. Xbox didn't kill gaming, it wasn't "dude bros", it wasn't Sony's AAA games, or the Wii. It was size. The industry grew soo big, that someone realized that you could make vastly more money by 'not making games', but rather by selling live services, selling MTX, or streaming on Twitch.TLDR: We live in a world in which StarCraft 3 and WarCraft 4 won't be made because they are inferior financial decisions compared to more live service games with infinite revenue streams.
>>725562075>Don't give into despair.Sounds kinda like you did to be honest
>>725555160nigga just download grindrif you aint living in a shithole its so easy to find femboys down to fuckyou can also just fuck a ftm transguy so youll still get pussy that way(unless you are living in a total shithole then its only gonna be old married dudes)sometimes youll also find cuck pairs that dont mind if you fuck his wifegotta get out more
>>725545946Im only 26 and I think diablo 2 is better than most modern games. but Minecraft Dungeons is better.
>>725563095yeah social media can be fine if access is restricted to non-normalfags.I was part of many niche forums that were all cool and had really good artists + contributions from the members.When Twitter started getting big, all the good contributors left to go appeal to normalfaggots for 10k+ followers.Twitter + smartphones was the death of niche hobbies on the internet in general. Because now people do it for money instead of passion.
20 years later and I still play aoe2
>>725554468Porn and social media is designed on purpose to be as addictive and emotionally stimulating as possible that even video games don't compare, but moreso people can't even watch movies now, it's too boring for them. We're fucked.
>>725555506Windows 8 came out made with phonefags in mind, websites, and by proxy, social media were already full blown bein made with phonefags in mind, and as a result of all that, it became normal to merge your identity with being terminally online.
>>725545849nothing, thanks for reminding me I got some beer in the fridge and gonna boot up some path of exile
>>725558000You're technically wrong, but spiritually right.
>>725554007One company (Match) owns the vast majority of dating apps.
Im pissed off all the time when im playing video games. I hate video games and I cant stop playing them. I already finished over five hundred videos and they all made me angry at some point. I only feel peace when the credits are rolling. Once its over im back to getting pissed at another game. I firmly believe thats the natural state of a real video game faggot. Every other kind is normal fag larping
>>725546428Pretty crazy how every mainstream fashion trend throughout history is tied for the most flaming faggot shit conceivable.
>>725546035>>725564412Videogames are pop culture thoughYou faggots forget about how big games were even back then.Pokemon, Mario, Tetris, Space Invaders, Pacman, Tony Hawk, Tomb Raider, it goes on and on.

>>725546262Well, I reckon you'd need a bear sized food processor to start. Probably gon have to debone him, skin him and take out any cartilage-y bits so it dont tear up the blender. Not sure what that has to do with drinking beer while gaming.
>>725568365MCR always said they are not emo in any way.
>>725545946>>725545849I still play Diablo 2....
>>725568789There are a lot of people who don't know that.
I've never understood this image or the ones where it's like "dude remember when you would just get a pizza and play vidya?" You can still do all those things today, in fact I just replayed Diablo 1 this past weekend. If you're shook by external shit and Internet stuff, that's your problem.
>>725569302It's just rage bait for dullards.
>>725569302>in fact I just replayedthat's the issue.you're replaying 30 year old games, playing remakes and remasters.
I can't believe we gave up this
>>725569573Why would you play anything new if you aren't into it? Could you elaborate?
>>725569598For this monstrosity.Why the fuck do zoomers like sitting in the dark with nothing but pink LEDs so much?

These are the ten bestselling video games of 1997.

>>725547071>Video games were still novel enough that you could literally imagine yourself in another world through the screen.This. I recently replayed starcraft brood war. It runs on a 90mhz cpu with 16mb RAM at 480p and it is more immersive than any modern game.
>>725545849I dont miss those awful desktop pcs at all
>>725545849Women, they saw nerds making big bucks and decided they would pretend to like gaming, game developers hired them because the government would sue them if they didn't engage in dei, the dei hr cunts they hired only allowed fake gamers (women) to enter the companies and they ruined gaming.
>>725545849The fact that GamerGate is still thought of as a "harassment campaign", and whose title is enshrined as such on Wikipedia, should tell you all you need to know.
>>725545849100% factual answer is pic rel

>>725572735I don't get it. Why's Black Nationalism good when it's all the same shithead concepts?
>>725545849Normalfags. There's no more sovlful stuff like this. Nowadays the game he'd be playing would be a gacha or some online only battlepass slop. The internet wasn't meant for normalfag use and social media only worsened the problem.
>>725545849Broadband internet has been a disaster for the human race. Ideally when WW3 happens everyone just goes back to 56k and stays there
>>725573284Now you're asking the real questions.
>>725570740>videogames were totally niche back when I wasn't an adult
>>725571270>In 1997 'normalfags' bought amazing games.Normalfags never meant the average joe, it meant retarded women and niggers and third worlders. That list of games beats the entirety of games released in the last 10 years. If you remove fromsoft from existence that list beats the games released this millenia.

>>725572935It flopped catastrophically and killed it's studio. But aside from that, it released before HL2 Episode 1 and is the first mainstream "episodic" game, which was championed by Valve during the mid 00's as the future of game dev. While episodic games failed as a concept, they allowed for the infrastructure for that kind of large dlc format to be implemented across storefronts and live services. It set the stage for the normalization of incomplete game launches, and selling completed initial chunks of a game to customers piecemeal post-launch. It's utterly beyond refutation.
>>725545849everything is full of gay shit

>>725570821As if you ever did, let's be real.
>>725575267>It flopped catastrophically and killed it's studio.By all reports it DID sold well enough to fund itself more episodes, what killed them was activision who pulled out funding for a quake 4 expansion
>>725574746They make LEDs with yellow light. Not using LEDs is the most boomer-grug thing ever. When I swapped my house over to them, I saved about 100 bucks a month in electricity, they hardly ever burn out, nobody scalds their hand on them and they don't heat up the house in the summer when I'm trying to cool it, and they aren't even more expensive to buy.
>>725545849it was less profitable.There is a direct example: Blizzard.Blizzard makes diablo 2.That company has now changed to be more profitable.
>>725545849What fucking "era"? The "era" of Mike drinking a beer and playing Diablo 2?Your thread is fucking retarded and so are you, kill yourself

The last decade I was in a constant rush. Always hungry for that sweet dopamine rushing through me when finishing achivements in fast paced online games. Skipping any story content because all I want was to unlock skins and get better ranks. Addictive and just amazing. Watching a movie at night? Nah, that online game offers a better feel. Going to bed at 2 night and wake up for work early morning, who cares lol. But then I started refelcting that lifestyle. What have I earned from it all those years? Nothing basically. Once the next hype game comes out, all my previous achivements collecting dusk. Then I forced myself to do a break from these. Playing through all the Yakuza games. Really difficult because there is literally only story and no dopamine. Now I only play 1 or 2 hours max because then I lose motivation. But I ENJOY the stories. I learned to enjoy again. Also regular watch movies now on my OLED on the sofa. I'm not sure if it's healthier now, I still miss my gaming nights, but I feel that it's better in the long run.
