i miss being a kid
Gameboy Player didn't release until 2003.
What was the first game you got for Christmas, /v/?Mine was Spore Galactic Edition.
>>729210884Those were the days,,,
We always placed our Christmas tree in the corner of the dining room and I'd get real comfy behind it next to the warm vent with all the lights and presents while I played with a handheld.

>>729210884nobody wanted a gamecube for christmas in 2001, you either wanted xbox with halo or ps2 with gta3
>>729210884I was 16 in 2001, I was too old for this feeling. Try 1993 with a Super Nintendo.
unc thread
>>729211116youre still a kid at 16 anon
>>729211106my family had all 3
>>729210884I kid being a miss
>>729210942For any console? I think it was Pokemon Yellow, I don't remember getting any N64 or SNES games on previous Christmases. If GameCube, then it was like OP's image, but the black GameCube and also Luigi's Mansion in addition to SSBM.
>>729210884I miss the days when I could be excited over things like Christmas and getting presents. Doesn't mean I want to go back, but I do miss that.
>be 11>at my grand parents>opening presents at random >brother and I get a gamecube + smash brothers for christmas from mom and dad>really happy, excited to play it>we open a few more gifts before getting to the present from grand parents>its two shitty TIGER electronic handhelds>like those really shitty mcdonald happy meal toys>bro and I glance at each other with no expression>grandma "they hate it">mom suddenly guilt trips us for not giving them the same reaction we gave them for the gamecube>grandma starts crying that they got them bad presents and walks away>grampa starts yelling at us for being 'ungrateful'>mom decides we can't play the gamecube until we go back home next week.>whole week me and bro were pissed.Only bad christmas memory I can remember.
>>729210884the only reason I still have any modicum of love for my abusive father is because despite all the shit he did to me and my family through the years (beating me, my mom and my siblings, refusing to pay for things he really should have, never paying child support etc.), despite it all I still remember this man giving me a gamecube with Smash Melee on Christmas in 2001. He also bought F-Zero GX when I was 2003. For that reason no matter how bad of a person my father is, there is always a small part of me that will love him. He really had no fucking idea how awesome those games really were.
I was 38yo in 2001
I'm going to buy a Playstation 1
>>729211352Damn that sucks. My worst gift was being given a generic, cheap children's toy robot when I was 16 years old by my uncle. He was serious about it.
>>729211170Legal adult in the majority of governments.
>>729211352kino
>>729210884Truly the GOAT Christmas. I remember staying up that night unlocking all the characters for my little brothers.
>>729211420dude are you seriously telling us you're 62 and wasting time on 4chan on christmas eve bro? So how badly did you fuck up your life?
>>729210884Don't worry, your an angry incel. You guys are more or less still mentally children. That's why you think you should be able to rape kids.
>>729211352i remember being a shithead before school and my grandma tried taking my DS away from me and we accidentally snapped it in half and remember bawling my eyes out crying all week. i hope she didnt feel too bad.
>>729210884Didn't the GameCube or luigis mansion release the same week as 9/11
>>729211586Yes it did, I remember I actually had tonsilitis surgery on 9/11. I didn't give a shit about some towers collapsing or a plane flying through them. All I knew was that I was in a ton of pain and I used that pain to manipulate my parents to get me a gamecube.
>>729211516How is looking on your phone for a few minutes really a waste of time?
>>729211479thats still young enough to feel childlike wonder
>>729211479>says the 40 year old who STILL thinks he's going to move to Japan to teach English some dayFriedel is pretty cool, what's up with that
>>729211523Holy projection out of nowhere Batman, talk about a self-report
>>729211420I have a hard time believing anyone over the age of 35 posts here.
>>729211501>all nightMewtwo takes about an entire day to unlock and mr game and watch takes even longer
>>729211420what's your favorite game?
>>729211667do you have kids or grandkids to buy christmas presents for man?
>>729211523terrible christmas vibes anon. please take your meds
>>729211302At all. I didn't have any consoles, just PC.
>>729211352That was your parents' fault.>>opening presents at randomEveryone knows you start with your kids opening smaller presents and gradually working up to bigger presents.
>>729211516>>729211706The same fate awaits (You) if you don’t leave and never return. Will you do it? Will you truly leave forever?
>>729211706I'll be 41 on the 3rd.
>>729211676true. No wonder the sex is so mind-blowing.
>>729210884Got a GC with Melee along with rented copies of Rogue Squadron 2 and Tony Hawk 3. I was only able to pick one to buy and I picked Tony Hawk because Rogue Squadron took me 3 hours to beat. Fun game but it was short as fuck.
>>729211772i'll leave this planet before that happens
>>729211772dude I discovered 4chan as a 13 year old in 2004. The earliest this guy could have been on 4chan was when he was 40. Maybe he mistakenly thought it was 40chan or something and was talking about video games and anime with other 40 year old virgins.fuck man i literally remember getting into guilty gear as a kid because of the "bridget is a trap" memes.
>>729211783lol
>>729211753That's how we did it. It wound up with me opening pokemon red as a present despite not even having a Gameboy. I was throwing a pissy fit for all of ten minutes until I opened the actual Gameboy. Then I just immediately caught a nidoran and ignored the rest of the family for three days
>>729211906Terry has a similar face shape to epstein
>>729211352Fuck this unlocked a memory for me.>2007>Was a little shit all year>Earlier in the year I ""accidentally"" spent nearly $200 on Xbox Live Points buying pointless micro-transactions, Indie games like Castle Crashers, etc>Parents scolded the shit out of me but ultimately didn't do anything at first>"You'll see anon.">Christmas>Mom let Sister and Dad open presents first>Sister got a new Laptop, clothes and shit>Dad got some car shit, clothes,>Mom got necklace and perfume, etc.>My turn>Every Present is a Dollar Tree toy>Remember crying like a bitch and screaming how unfair this wasI deserved it.
>>729210884I definitely don't... but there were a lot of things in the world I miss from then.
>>729210884The key here is it's all physical, all real.These days it's just a voucher to some steam pozzed licence. Unwrap your nothing and be happy.>>729211532>accidentally snapped it in half some adults are just stupid giant toddler people
>>729212070Microtransactions were the worst thing to happen to gaming. Even I got sucked into it as a kid and spent money behind my parents back because I REALLY needed to get the Lemon Tree in Simpsons Tapped Out
>>729212094no it isn't nigger. The point is Smash Melee is a good fucking game. There was no digital option in 2001 of all times man.
zoomers are contorted by nostalgia because the millennials hired for roles in modern media are bad at their jobs
>>729210942I think my first is Luigi's Mansion. Which is weird thinking about it since I was born in 2002.Another big one I remember was a Wii, but my uncle put a chip in it that let discs that have the game downloaded on them work with it, and so I had like 20 games>>729211352Darn. The worst is my grandmother accidently buying the same DS game that my mom gifted me a day prior (she did tell me in advance about it so that I can pretend to be happy about it to not make her feel bad.)>>729212070At least you got a life lesson and a story to tell from it.
>>729211352Grandma accidentally revealed she loved one specific cousin way more than we, my siblings, and the others.>Extended family Christmas at Grandma's>I got a box of bazooka joe bubble gum>So did my cousin>Said cousin also got an exquisite chess set>And Scrabble>And a gameboy game>And it just kept going>This real awkward few minutes where everyone's just awkwardly watching this cousin open up a shitton of presents and he's got a mountain compared to everyone else's nothingI was old enough and trained enough to bite my tongue, but everyone noticed and the younger ones definitely made their voices heard.
I've been reminiscing a lot on the child like wonder I used to have towards such insignificant things- the red ruby legos, the springy door stoppers, flower petals on the sidewalk, book cover art, game manuals. Now my eyes gloss over these things because my brain deems them "redundant information" and I'm day dreaming through life unawarw of all the beauty around me.I just want that spirit back, even for one day
>>729210884Christmas morning and birthdays lost their magic when I became an adult. When you make enough money to buy whatever game or toy catches your eye. Especially when the things you REALLY want are so expensive and specialized to your hobbies that no family member could possible gift it to you.
>>729212147I am so glad micro transactions basically didn't exist until I was old enough to understand how stupid they were. I wonder if kids these days get picked on for not having the latest fortnight characters
>>729212403As a teacher I have seen this for PUBG, Call of Duty and TF2. It 100% happens for Fortnite.
>>729211352Absolutely giftmogged
I never cared for christimas. As a kid all the gifts i would get where clothes and shoes, and it bothered me having to stop playing video games to go eat in some random relative's house i did not give a shit about. All the gaming related gifts i ever got was on my birthday.I am 21 and for the first time my life i will not go anywhere and will stay in my room playing video games and i could not be happier.
>>729212359I don't even celebrate holidays anymore. My lights stay off on Halloween and I don't get a Christmas tree. I see my parents sometime in mid-January for a combined Christmas/New Years/Birthday dinner (they're busy people too).
>>729212530My halloween celebration is buying the horror games on discount in Steam. But i play horror games the whole year so its not really that special either lol.
>>729212489hello gen alpha. Yes we know you're all depressed, poor low test faggots, no need to share.
>>729212530My birthday is almost always the same week as Thanksgiving and sometimes the same day so it's always been combined. Gives me one less reason to leave my place during the holiday season.
>awkward silence when you unwrap a gift and it’s clothingThe only time I was ever happy with clothes for Christmas was when my parents got me these.
>>729212359It would be worse if they tried to gift you something related to your hobby but since they do not know shit about it they buy something useless by accident.I just got today an expensive wireless headphone that i have no use for because it has a huge sound delay lol. I tried to explain them that next time they should ask me for specifications or just give me the money then i got called ungrateful.Honestly sometimes i feel like people only buy you gifts because they want to feel good about themselves and do not care if you actually like it or not.
I remember getting these books one christmas and being so embarrassed I took them immediately to my room and shoved them under my bookshelf.
>>729212359>>729212530If you want those days to be special you need to do special things on them, it's not just about buying gifts for yourself or getting gifts from people. It's about doing something special for yourself or with the people you love.I just saw a shitty movie (Spongebob) with some friends in an empty theater so we ragged on it the whole time. Yeah, we could do that any time of the year but the point is that we don't because finding time to share with that many people is impossible. But that's not true around holidays, we deliberately make time for each other.If you don't have friends, go to an aquarium or a zoo or a museum. Take yourself out to dinner and see the local symphony or a small time stage show. Go see the nutcracker or a horror movie rerelease. Do something you wouldn't normally get to do and learn to appreciate yourself again.
>>729212808Just ask for food or exotic snacks. That's what I do. Its a good gift someone can give you thats consumable so it doesnt take up space.
>>729212868That sounds like something that would be the moral lesson of one of those christimas movies lol. But it is a legit good advice, you are right.
>>729212868I don't want to do any of that though. I want to have a day off work and spend it in bed playing video games, chatting online, and drinking large amounts of caffeinated lemon lime carbonated beverages.
>>729212723Then you get older and suddenly clothes are the best thing you could ask for
you niggaz are all weak. I have been telling people to give me money for christmas since I was 12. man up. no one can buy you the wrong gift when everyone's giving you the right gift.
>>729211352At least you got to keep your Gamecube. I got a PS2 for Christmas when I was 10 and my brother stole it and sold it a few months later for weed money.
>>729211352>>729212070>sometime around 2005>obsessed with A Series of Unfortunate Events>Parents coordinate with my entire family for them to each buy me one title in the series so I can stop checking them out at the library>gets closer to Christmas>they release "collector's sets" that contain 3 books each>mom, dad and grandma each buy me one>extended family didn't get the memo>open one of these single books>thank them, but say "oh I already got this">they explain what happened>my mom gets pissy>I feel guilty the rest of the dayI really hate the fact you can't tell someone in the moment "I have this" or "I don't like this" even if you're being nice and appreciative about it. >>729212723 was always especially embarrassing because clearly no child would ever give a fuck about clothing, but parents and family members get offended if you don't pretend. But then they know you're pretending so what was the point? It's just asinine>>729212845I got a few drawing books and I would always try them out but they always sucked. I still appreciated that my family members were trying to help me grow but the anime ones were brutal.
>>729212357go on a heavy metal detox and leave the cities for a few days, no cellphone no tech it will work, it depends on whether you truly want it
Christmas of 2001 I got Oracle of Ages for GBC. It was a good Christmas
>>729213067It honestly is the best gift but everyone has to bend over backwards getting random shit that will never be used.
>>729210942DK64
Here in the wrong side of the world Christimas is in the Summer, the heat takes alway any magic that Christimas could have.Funniest part is that companies still use snow and the winter theme in their advertising, it is crazy seeing those Coca Cola ads where there is polar bears and shit while you are melting alway in a puddle of sweat and tears.
>>729211352I don’t exactly have bad Christmas memories but it bums me out in retrospect.>dad hates video games>I mean HATES video games>told me to never play any in front of him>yelled at me in the middle of Walmart when I spent my allowance on a game (Pokemon Diamond)>made me rent movies instead of games>unplugged my consoles on weekends and hid them in his trunk>mom admitted to me a few years ago that he refused to help her with Christmas gifts>every single console and game was from her
As an adult Thanksgiving is better than Christmas. You still get together with your family and eat a great big dinner but you don't have to buy any presents.
>>729213057I've been telling my parents to literally not get me anything for around ten years now. They still do, but at least it's mostly just useful things like cologne or shoes.
>>729211728Resident evil 4 original
>>729213067last year all my family bought each other gift cards so it was a net loss instead of just buying ourselves what we wanted in the first place. It's fine for kids but adult gift giving needs to stop.
>>729213090>my brother stole it and sold it a few months later for weed money.Remember around 16 my brother moved out, never kept in touchOne christmas they came back it was nice to see himCame home and the TV was gone and my PS3 and Wii was missing.Next time I heard from him he showed up at my job acting friendly before asking me for $2000 due to drug debt, told him I didn't have any moneynever heard from him since, I know he's still around since he pesters extended family who give him money.Don't fucking touch heroin guys.
>>729213090lmfao your brother sold it to buy weed. that is the gayest shit I ever heard in my life. my brother was a real nigga. my brother came to my bedroom when I was 14 years old at 4am in the morning and was like "Yo bro... do you want an Xbox 360?". Then he just fucking gave me an Xbox 360, out of the blue with dudebro shit like Madden and an extra controller. Big bro was out slanging those crackrocks and some junkie had no bread, so he just gave my brother a fucking xbox. He didn't even play video games so he just fucking gave it to me. Then we smoked weed together and played Madden. Good fucking times man.As for my big bro now.... we he's actually in jail for several years because of sexual assault and battery charges. He was ballin hard when he was selling that work, but ever since he started smoking it his life fell apart and now he's a fucking loser in jail lol. Still, mad grateful for that Xbox 360. Ran Oblivion and Halo 3 on that shit.
>>729213067Me and my family give each other money and gift cards and it makes me wonder why we even bother.
>>729213067>>729213217I think the only reason people don't like doing this is because it makes the point of giving to each other pointless. If I gift you $20 and you gift me $20, why didn't we just keep our own money? Instead I'll spend $20 on something I think you want or might like, but would never buy for yourself.>>729213153I don't live in a city I'm just addicted to social media. But I am trying and I'm guessing realizing how much I've been ignoring is a step in the right direction
>>729210884For me, it was 2012. I got a GBA SP, and a copy of Link to the Past.I was really into retro gaming even back then.
>>729213090Drug addicts are retarded. Do they really think you're not going to notice that your favorite things just went missing? When I was 10 I got a laptop that was already 10 years out of date and had like 20gb hard drive. My sister stole it and sold it for meth or something. There's no way she could have sold it for more than ten dollars.
>>729213376>If I gift you $20 and you gift me $20, why didn't we just keep our own money? Instead I'll spend $20 on something I think you want or might like, but would never buy for yourselfDamn, maybe it doesn't actually matter.
>>729213090lmao my brother stole my ipod touch circa 2012 and I still have no idea where it ended up
>>729213152Of course you're going to be upset if you get something you already have. You can appreciate it, but that doesn't mean you have to be excited about it
>>729213376It works out better when you have multiple people giving you money lol. But you need to grind your relationship with them through the year for that.
>>729213357this is the blackest post ive ever laid my eyes on 4chanstop being black anon
one christmas I asked for a gun as a joke on christmas listgranddad gave me his fucking revolver, the rest of the day was just my dad and granddad yelling over christmas dinnerlove that old coot
>>729210884First time I got excited for Christmas was when this kino came under my Christmas tree
>>729210884>Beg and plead for Kirby 64 for months>Every time we went to the store I'd stare it down and hope I'd get to play it that year>They get me Kirby on the Gameboy instead>"Oh it's the same thing!, you're just being ungrateful!"They gave my dumb cunt sister exactly what she wanted and it was twice the price
>>729213498I told you he was a real nigga.
>>729213552they were afraid you'd become a homosexual if they bought you kirbythey were correct.
>>729213515Hey i did that too as a kid. But i only got a revolver shaped lighter instead. But i did not ask a joke though, i really wanted a gun.I actually kept the lighter for two decades before i lost it in a flood.
>>729213552>the same thingMy parents never seemed to understand why I'd want more than one game for a console. They got me an n64 that came with pokemon stadium, and I only ever got one other game for it from them
>>729210884It's not nostalgia. Things were genuinely better back then.
>>729213550Unironically used to play this all the time with my older cousin who passed away exactly one year ago today lol
>>729210884I just having meaningful presents from my familyLast gift i had was the monitor i use to this day and that was years ago. Since then every year its just been a bunch of money and clothes once, both of which felt like a "fuck you" because i make more than enough money to sustain myself and the clothes were just an excuse because i kept disagreed with them all year by saying that my old wardrobe is more than enough for the rest of my life.Like, I dont even ask for anything expensive, just meaningful. Maybe take a fucking hint that i constantly struggle to craft you all presents and give me a tool or something?
>>729213552I remember getting Kirby 64 for christmas but had no idea the game was D pad only, so I didn't know how to move. I literally thought the entire game was just sitting in level one watching Kirby stand there. I remember wiping the tears from my eyes disappointed so my mom wouldn't see and telling her it was the best game ever (I did learn how to play it later though)
>>729213681>I just>Kept disagreed*I miss*kept disagreeingMy
>>729211352Dont you know how many starving african children could of eaten that TIGER?
My older cousin told me a story that his parents (my aunt) thought PS2 was a scam and that PS2 games would work on PS1.
>>729213673That is pretty funny anon, you're right
>>729213295Yeesh wtf? My father was a prick when it came to games as well.>Was graciously given a PS2 during my childhood years>Treasured it dearly as I was a poorfag and would never have gotten one myself otherwise>Came with THUG 1 and 2, Need For Speed Underground 2, Spongebob: Lights, Camera, Pants!, and a few other games>Dad fucking HATED video games>Also always despised me because I looked like and reminded him of my mom who is a better person than he could ever be>One day he smashes my PS2 with a hammer>Makes me watch as he snaps all the discs in half because I left a game in the console after turning it off to go eat lunchThis along with other things he did growing up has left me with a feeling that I don't deserve things and I still to this day struggle to buy stuff for myself without getting sick.
>>729213763>not getting the one with DOUG and FASTER buttonsShit childhood
I don't miss being a kid and I'm not enjoying my time as an adult
>>729210884The GameCube was released in 2004, zoom zoom.
>>729213295Did a video game rape him as a kid or something? What a faggot.
>>729210884Man what do kids even get for Christmas these days? Fortnite and Roblox gift cards? Sad. Lol
1999 my Dad got me a Siderwinder set with a steering wheel and pedals which included Midtown Madness 2, then played with me and my brother Age of Empires on lan. He got my brother a legal copy then cloned the discs so we could play the game LAN.It was fucking awesome.
>>729212070Parents are so evil. I wish there were no parents. They're literally the cause of all evil
>>729213295what was up with oldheads having borderline violent spastic freakouts over video games?
>>729213295>hates vidya>but movies/tv are a-okayEvery single time
>>729213901pray to Jesus every night that one day some nigger will bash your father's face in with a hammer. Then you will finally be free.
>>729214057Well in case of fortnite they might get a riffmaster.Idk if they do though.

>>729213994no it wasn't you dumb nigger.
>>729214073i know this is a joke but but>consequences for my actions?we need more of that
>>729214049People like that are just genuinely unhappy and will hate anything that other people are doing that make them happy. I used to spend a lot of time drawing. I would get told to stop drawing stupid cartoons and go outside.. nowadays drawing anything makes be feel like I'm wasting my time. Thanks mom.

>>729210942I got a Sega Genesis, with Sonic... God if my parents didn't get me that would I have been different? Less absorbed in video games? I turned 37 this month and I still play games for hours a day.
>>729213763weirdly accurate lmao
holy shit unc :skull: 2001?! you older than breaking bad cuh wtfff
>>729214116Oh trust me, I'm far away from him at this point. He lives in his beat up car at some rest stop just smoking meth or something, idk and idc. I have my own apartment and things are a lot better now, but I still struggle due to the lasting impact of shit he's done. Infact here's another thing he did.>Approaching graduation in high school>Too poor to even afford a cap + gown, let alone other stuff like a class ring>Best friend's mom offers to buy all the stuff for me>End up getting this really nice ring with a small but still vibrant emerald in it, super expensive>Dad finds out and immediately steals the ring from me, spends 4 days straight trying to pry the emerald out in order to sell it for drug money>Can't do it so he beats the fuck out of me and prevents me from going to my graduation
>>729210942I dunno about my first, but I remember getting Pikmin 1 from my dad and going full pic related at the graphics/artstyle at the time. Same with Metroid Prime 1 later. I didn't even know I wanted Pikmin, he just saw the cover and thought it would be a good game.
I have nostalgia fatigue
>>729214095You cant look at it from under just a single umbrella. Theres a billion reasons why>Satan panic>Jealousy because their poorfag childhood couldnt afford them shit>Lack of happiness projected onto others interests>Other boomers mindwashing him about how vidya bad>"I didnt want this child so i will hate everything he likes">"My kid must be the carbon copy of me and any sense of individuality must be purged"The list goes on
>>729214270jesus christ man. I'm this guy >>729213357 but your father sounds like an even dumber nigger than my brother.
>>729214095My parents go into a massive verbal argument with my aunt and uncle after my older cousin let me play GTA III. It was one of the most traumatizing events of my childhood.
>>729214270Bro how the fuck were the cops not involved.
>>729214359Yeah he's pretty bad, I have countless stories I can recall from my childhood and teenage years of him just selling and destroying stuff I was given or worked my ass off to get. I remember finally getting my apartment and being away from him and everything hit me all at once and I had an anxiety attack so bad I was choking on the air. Didn't realize how rough my upbringing was until that moment. The first time since I moved in here that I bought something for myself, my hands were shaking so much because for once I didn't have to fear that he'd sell or destroy it.>>729214439He knew how to ensure there wouldn't be bruises left after he beat me, and since he failed to actually get the gemstone out, there wasn't anything I could do.
>>729214348>"My kid must be the carbon copy of me and any sense of individuality must be purged"This happened to me. My dad forced me to play football to keep me away from games on weekends. I hid in the bathroom until I was caught and kicked out.
>>729210942N64 with mario kart
>>729210884I was thinking the same, on one hand it's nice being able to buy what I want when I want but on the other waking up to presents from a family that loves you is amazing.
>>729214348True, that comment just reminded me how weird it all was with how much boomers generally hated all tech but the TV. Amusingly many of them are now getting absolutely obliterated by scams and AI because they never put the effort in to becoming tech literate enough to understand what the fuck is even going on kek.
>>729210884literally me except luigi's mansion
>>729214408I remember playing San Andreas as a kid and taking out some whore, then chasing her around with a baseball bat and laughing my ass off as I beat her to death and was like "gimme my money back biatch!"my mom walked in and started crying lmfao. she was like "I never thought I would see my son enjoying beating a woman like that.".
>>729214270Honestly I feel bad for you, but to be honest, I'm a hypocrite. I'd probably beat the shit out of my kids if they turn gay or tranny. They will probably resent me too at some point
>>729214348>>"I didnt want this child so i will hate everything he likes"This is straight up the most likely one. Boomers are the most evil generation in history.
With the carousel of various sports in my youth, comparisons between my life and my siblings, and what I know about him as a person, I'm pretty certain that my dad really, really wanted to have a son like him, which he didn't get with me. When that became obvious as I got to middle school he functionally abandoned me in favor of my sporty brother and sister. After that point we just didn't like each other and he only 'showed up' when things were getting really bad (out of pure obligation) to make them worse before abandoning me again once my Mom had scraped things togetherwait this isn't /r9k/
>>729214095>My mom got all her censoring videogames and stuff out of her system with my older brothers>by the time I came around I was playing Halo in the second grade with no issues from my parents>my dad would even try to play co-op with me even though he was bad at itThere are so many perks to being the youngest, it's wild.
Working in a grocery store made me hate the whole 'holiday season.' Sapped the joy right out of me seeing how rude and gluttonous so many are this time of year, all for shit that doesn't really matter. It's all a competition with each other to have the biggest and most lavish christmas dinner, even though most of it is going to be wasted. Fucking hate how our store would sooner donate near-expired stock to others instead of allowing employees to buy it at a discount first(we don't get employee discounts), because we sure as shit can't afford to buy from our own store with the wages we work for. I fucking hate old people now too.

This thread>FATHERS BAD>SINGLE MOTHERHOOD BETTER THAN NOTHING!!!!!give your fathers the biggest hug and thank him for being there and putting up with your stupid illogical argumentative emotional mother in a feminist misandrist society.

>>729214814>wait this isn't /r9k/Obviously. Your entire post would have probably been filtered as a duplicate
>>729214887Same actually. My older brothers had to put up with all that so by the time it was my turn she had already got burnt out on it. Also by that point pop culture had shifted enough in gaming that I don't even think she quite understood what exactly I was playing/watching anyways.
>>729215114:(
>>729214947nah she didn't do anything. She just cried for a while and my brother and I had to remind her it's just a game.

>>729214887I was the middle with two sisters who both had a ton of their own issues. I didn't make trouble so I was basically ignored entirely because the other two required so much attention to their problems that spending any time on me was apparently just too much extra effort.

>>729214714Why do dumbasses take that so seriously? I remember I used to have a crybaby friend that would get mad at me for driving over civilians in GTA on the sidewalk instead of following traffic laws
>>729215189Are you a father? I'm one and I want to tear my hair out with my bare hands and hang myself with dental floss. You don't know just how little justice there is in the world until you become a father in a feminist society. What I'm saying is that it's a miracle any father tries at all.
>>729210942Honestly I cannot remember, I wasn't (didn't have the conditions to be, really) super deep into vidya as a kid. I did get Sonic Heroes for the PS2 in 2004, it seems, before that only Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets for PC in 2002 comes into question, but that might also have been my birthday or something.

>>729215827No if secularists were consistent and not bullshitting they would make the AOC whatever the average age of puberty is in women. Or just make pedophilia illegal (prepubescent) and get rid of AOC entirely.

>>729215939Some streamer got banned from twitch for killing a feminist character in RDR2
>>729211352Great story but sorry that happened. I figured you and your brother was genuinely disappointed and couldn’t play it off together as being thankful. Heck even the GBA would’ve sufficed.
>>729215632It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a Wojak posted. Ever since the hack, they’ve been rare.
>>729215802They'd have to be at least 28 to have made that image based on personal experience so you're retarded

>>729211420please tell me you have a wife. please tell me theres hope>30
My parents were narcissists and wanted me to be some sweater vest wearing slackjawed faggot that reads a lot of gay ass books. Never let me play sports so I turned to video games which were taken away. We're on good terms now but they really fucked up with my childhood and teenage years.
>>729210884Things had gotten five times as expensive since 2001. The wages did not see a fivefold increase. You don't miss being a kid, you miss not being priced out of everything and being able to afford a living and having a promise for the future.

>>729210942I don’t remember the first but the one I remember most when I was 12 was Portal 2 on PC along side a desktop pc of my own and a bunch of old pc games a friend of dad’s gave me(C&C Generals, Kotor 1, Medal of Honor Allied Assault)
>>729212070I think it's funny that they successfully gaslit you into thinking you deserved such a harsh punishment despite being a kid
>>729216342Portal 2 is timeless, I still replay the story occasionally and the game just looks so good.
>>729216323Came out in 2008, anon probably got the date wrong
>>729210942I think it was a Game Advance clam shell with Link to the Past and Super Mario Advance 4 so I got two of the best games of all time.
>>729216396You accidentally added a "2" to your post. No big deal just helping an anon out. That would be good satire if you said you like reddit incarnate 6 straight hours of over-the-top reddit humor portal 2 though.

>>729216645>worthless pastPure projection.
You can't go back and pining for it will only make you even more depressed. Improve yourselves.
>>729216606Portal 2 was a completely different game for the first few years of its life until they brought in a bunch of reddit s0iboys that cried and whined that there wasn't enough reddit humor and easy puzzles and girl boss glados lmao.
>>729216750>Improve yourselves.more like "improve your video gaming skills" am I right?
>>729216804Thank you for proving my point. The game is great, you're just a soulless faggot.
Playing Retro games makes me depressed but playing Modern games just makes me angry. This even applies to all forms of entertainment and not just videogames. I feel like I can't be happy about anything I used to enjoy anymore. What should I do anons?
Get some yourself and partly relive the magic of Christmas through them

>>729216279I never had my own money until I started working at 15. Your theory is gay and you are gay.
>>729216279Nah I was able to expirience joy when i was a kid. Now I feel nothing at all.
>>729216897
>>729217068Those are the best, not for Christmas but after going back and forth on how I wanted a PS2 for a while I thought it wasn't happening, on my birthday we got home and I got a PS2 game, I told my parents but I've only got a PS1, stepdad told me to try it on the one above the DVD player, I went in, saw it, and lost my shit.Hold on to that love anon, all the more reason for you to keep some hope in your life.
>>729210884The year I unwrapped a gamecube and spent all night playing vidya with my little brother on our shitty little tv was legitimately the best christmas I ever had.
>>729210884now have a kid and give them this feeling. that's the cycle
I have to work Christmas eve and the day after Christmas and have a colonoscopy on new years eve this is such bullshit.
>>729211783>No wonder the sex is so mind-blowing.My sister brought up a really good point the other day, she was saying that you only experience “young love” once in a lifetime. She’s in her mid 30s with no kids. I just hit 30 and I have an 11 year old daughter, yes me and my ex use to have lots of sex in our late teens going by the green text. She doesn’t live with me but with her mother, me and the mother broke up a long time ago and I’ve been single for 10+ years and honestly I’ve gotten used to it.

>>729217617>RawrQueen121>queen Yeah I'm sure
>>729217648It has nothing to do with them. I'm a worthless shit head. I don't deserve anything from anybody.
>>729210942I had other games before, but this is the first one I can recall receiving as a Christmas present, from my now deceased aunt. She recognized soul.
I don’t miss school at all
We do secret Santa in our family now and every year it takes me at least a week to think of something to ask for, since everything I really want is too expensive for a gift and everything in the gift price range is either too specific, or something I can just by myself. I used to be able to talk at length about the things I wanted.
>>729217492yeah those poor kids that got to experience arguably some of the greatest games ever made....
>>729217676I know it's a /v/ meme, but I genuinely don't even play vidya like at all. Maybe 2 hours a week at most. I just find that /v/ has some of the most genuine conversations anywhere on the internet when they aren't calling each other niggers.
>>729212359This will be me on Christmas and New Years Day, simple as that
>>729217754school is where I learned that most people are mindless animals.
>>729213067My mom got me a framed picture of the pipe strip she made herself and a transcript of the guys entire bit. That made me smile and realize my mom at least knows what I like. This was when I was 25, I'm 30 and still have it. I'm glad she didn't just give me money like I likely asked for at the time.
>>729217859your mom stripped and then you piped her instead of giving you money for christmas like you asked?
>>729212357At the moment I am not that dulled to everyday wonder.But man the lego ruby hit home. It reminded me of the Harry Potter Lego set I got for Christmas.What helps me sometimes is to look at street art.Some times it's like reading old chat logs or just a signature I recognize.Anyway Merry Christmas
>>729212325my grandparents were the same but were a bit more subtle>get my cousin a bunch of ps2 games>get me the same bunch of ps2 games>I didn't have a ps2 but he didat least my dad bought me a ps2 later just so I could play them, and got guitar hero on top of it
>>729217849Most people just don't care about anything and are forced to sit around and do nothing for over half of the day and are too mentally burned out to even care about doing anything when they finally have free time. When you start to realize you're going to be answering to some jew and are expected to do so with a smile, you realize how pointless even being alive is.

>>729210884Maybe it was from cooming killing my brain, teenager syndrome or just tired of my parents but I really stopped enjoying Christmas when I was like 12 or so. I just got tired of photo taking and fake gratitude. Also the other 11 months of the year filled with little zingers and putdowns sours any ability to show how grateful I am for things I don’t want.It’s a few days from the guests arriving and what I want for Christmas is for my mom to stop having a cow. Normally there is nothing to do but suddenly the entire house needs to be rebuilt, and with my involvement.>>729211876Did you make it out anon? I knew someone who made the site part of their personality and I occasionally worry about them cuz they are a burnout and do drugz. Are you like, normal?
>>729210942i got a ps2 for christmas one year, i remember that onealso this image has to be almost 15 years old by now right? i don't even browse /a/ anymore, it's completely devoid of all the good things it once was
>>729218127Yeah. But Lego got expansive man. Maybe I will try to get a set or two on ebay.
>>729217840Same, for me it's just Thursday
>>729213901Dude… your father was a complete asshole, you were experiencing your childhood which means a lot to everyone and something that’s always looked back on fondly, and he completely destroyed it out of pure hatred and anger just because they existed. That’s so fucked up bro. I know it’s hard but I hope time healed your mental wounds.

>>729214073This but unironically>I'm gonna force a soul onto this world to suffer and pay taxes for 80 years because I'm bored in life lol
>>729214270Your father doing all of these things is out of control, can’t imagine how your mother must’ve felt when she got with him and had you with him. But since you mentioned drugs that’s probably what changed him into an evil tyrant. No drug abuser should ever have children and put them through hell. No child asks to be born.
>>729218901Yes but I don't see why that matters
>>729213067it's not just about the gift itself, it's the effort behind it. this is important, especially when buying gifts for women because they care way more about that shit than guys.

>>729214810>Boomers are the most evil generation in history.As much as it pains me to say this I feel like history could repeat itself. Some Boomers or Gen X folks might’ve hated that we got to grow up with stuff they didn’t have as kids or just hate it because it’s poising our minds but with the new generations of Gen Alpha and Beta they could be consumed and over reliant on AI since it is the current tech revolution sadly. I may be wrong but it’s worth thinking about since we are halfway through the 2020s and are slowly approaching the 2030s.

>>729210942I had a lot of vidya as a kid, but I don't remember any of it being a Christmas present.I always got Legos or robots or other toys, which I was perfectly fine with. I was much more of a Lego kid than a videogames kid.

>>729212845bruh if that's the best they could draw for the cover I don't think I'm interested in that book
>>729219926More like goycial media because the jews have invented amazing ways to milk all white women when they're teenagers into becoming glorified whores as they grow older.
>>729210884Well I would have been 15 that Christmas morning...

>>729217252Vice City is really good, I prefer San Andreas but unfortunately that was one of the game I didn't have growing up. At least I got it on Steam before it was de-listed.>>729218793>That’s so fucked up bro. I know it’s hard but I hope time healed your mental wounds.Things have gotten better with time, especially with having my mom and my younger sister as part of my life now. The feeling of having a family who cares about you is incredible and I feel terrible for anyone who doesn't have that.>>729219279>can’t imagine how your mother must’ve felt when she got with him and had you with him.My mom always hated my dad because of how abusive he was to her. Only reason I ever ended up with my dad in the first place is that the court ruled in his favor during the custody battle for God knows what reason. Wouldn't let me speak to my mom at all growing up either, often threatening to murder me if I tried to contact her. I'm endlessly thankful she never gave up on me all those years.
I'm 37 and I never get nostalgic because I love life and enjoy the moment.

>>729214348I think you're overlooking the most simple aspect, which is parents want their kids to go out and play or other activities, also studying. Not getting stuck in your room like a recluse. I know some parents can get a bit goofy and throw a spastic fit, but a lot of kids, especially millennials did play video games too much or had a phase where they were like that, it was very common. And since you're on /v/ there's a chance you might just be the type, I know I was / kinda still am. I don't have a stronger grasp on the younger gen z or alpha, but I get a feeling video games plays a smaller role on the introvert types, they're probably just on discord gooning all day or something.It's not like parents were exclusively just being completely irrational and the emotional outbursts just came from pure malevolence and ignorance, at least I don't believe so.

>>729210884I miss when Christmas meant something in my family.To much bad shit happened and killed the spirit of it around here. So we just have a decently quiet dinner every time, we don't even exchange gifts because buying stuff for each other would be a waste of money.
Is it weird that I have no nostalgia for when I was a kid?

>>729213067that's just robbing people politely
>>729210942Super Mario world on the Gameboy Advance. My dad had no idea that he picked kino, he just picked a game from the first series he recognized. Actually now thay I think deeper about it, it wasn't even Christmas, he just showed up from work one day with a gba and super mario world and surprised me. It was probably the single most meaningful gift I'd ever received, not merely because of the substance of the gift but rather from the fact that my dad had zero interest in video games, in fact he actually disliked them and had constantly remarked about how video games would "spoil my brain". He bought it for me purely due to the fact that he thought I'd enjoy it. Thanks, Dad.
>>729210942Super Mario WorldCame with the SNES my grandma bought meShe went to her grave never knowing how she changed my life with one gift
>>729222109I'm sorry anon.Christmas is the most special time of the year for me and my family, but i fear the day my mom passes, every christmas after that will be just pain, she is the spirit of chrismas in human form, has always been, every year i make sure to cherish every moment of it, sorry yours isn't good anymore.

>>729222816Spoiled brats. I gamed on a ps2 as a kid when the ps3 was already released. We couldn't afford a ps3 when it released and we were given a ps2 with a bunch of games from my cousins who had upgraded to the ps3. Fortunately they had amazing taste and I was introduced to Shadow of the Colossus and Kingdom Hearts at a young age. When I finally got a ps3 4-5 years later I remember thinking "this is what every one of my friends was freaking out about? Really?"
>>729210884I don't. But it would be fun to relive my teenage years with what I know today.

>>729223414I can't really imagine, but if you can, build your family and provide them with the christmas you wished you could have before.
>>729223564Kek I'm glad the clueless boomers in my family didn't do this to me. My grandma noticed I liked strategy games and bought me some absolute shovelware that she found godknowswhere. My based grandpa bought one of those famiclone 76000 games in one (it had like 50 games or something) that that Israeli guy got busted for. I say he was based because even though the controllers were shit, they did work, the light gun games worked and I got to play lots of retro games I otherwise wouldn't have experienced as nobody else I knew had anything older than 5th gen consoles.
When did you stop getting things for christmas?For me it was when I was 14, but it was more so because my family became poor and fractured after the 2008 crash and the drug habit my parents developed after, rather than me "aging out". I was mature enough to understand the situation I was now in and not getting anything, but it did still sting at the time.
>>729210884Honestly have no memory of what I got in 2001, provably some knex or lego set. I remembr getting a GeForce FX 5600 in 2003 though and then it not working on my motherboard sice I only had AGP 2X

>>729220242Kinda the same.My relationship with my parents has never been better and I wouldn't want to go back. I was a retarded kid then.
>>729225043Even with the layer of consumerism, holidays were still a jolly time when you lived in a high-trust community and could enjoy the atmosphere, decorations and when neighbors and visits would make it fun. It wasn't just inside the house, it was everywhere. Nowadays everything but the raw consumerism is gone, there's no sense of community just stores with neone signs telling you to spend more.

>>729212070>>729212147goddamn, same hereI was 12 in 2009 my dad had his credit card linked to my account whenever I needed to renew my gold membership, one day I went to see if I could buy anything with it and I spent $100 of my dad's money on DLC map packs, arcade games and other shit, and then I got a notification saying that there was "insufficient funds"I was a greedy dumbass, I remember asking my dad the same day later on "dad when do you get paid?"a day later he found out and he gave me a stern talking about how credit cards work and stuff like that, I legitimately thought I was using consequence free moneyI bought the saints row 2 DLCs, trials HD, cod waw map pack 3 and played der riese like crazy, so it was a fun lesson to learn

>>729225436I had a similar situationit happened around 1999, maybe 2000. grandma gave me a $20 bill in the morning as a gift then went to work. I took the bill outside to play with the neighbors kids and I decided to just give it to them for free. I remember saying "it's ok I can get more in the evening" thinking I'll just ask grandma for $100 because lol its just papermom ended up finding out and I was forced to go alone to the neighbors house, I laid down on the ground in front of their door and waited for hours. eventually one of the kids parents came out and I stammered out why I'm there. ended up getting it back but that was the day I learned that money has value and grandma doesn't have infinite amounts of itkids sure are dumb

>>729213067The only people who get money on Christmas are people with no real connections with their family members.
>>729229039Not really. Parents/grandparents should give proper gifts, but for uncles/aunts or extended family money is good because it skips them trying to guess (incorrectly) what the kid will like and the kid having to fake being happy after getting some shitty gift.

>>729210884>>729210942You are romanticized the past to the point it becomes a detriment that hinders you from actually focusing on the present now and here and slowly but surely erodes and sense of hope for the future you might come to have. You should be using past memories as a way to grow in wisdom, experience and other things, but instead, you are using it as a form of escapism by constantly just thinking back to your personally perceived "good times" and then get that feeling of how you want to "return home" because you have no actual home since your soul is empty and devoid of the presence of God, which you're suppose to have, and is the only thing that can feel that empty, gaping hole inside of you-- but you don't have it, nor do you wish to seek it, so instead you try and fin it literally anywhere else but in God.If you're really that desperate for it, just have children of your own and then you can actually "be a child" again when you get to play with them and just let go of things for a few hours, lol.Regardless, the better way to go about it is to just come to Christ. You're stuck in a perpetual state of misery and bitterness with no way out or end in sight and you think that fantasizing about the past is someone going to help you when it does nothing but make things worse for you in the end. Instead of moving out, you remain stuck in the past and in yours ways.The only one who can get you out of the impasse you've dug yourself into is Jesus alone. You will not be able to move on or improve at all in any way without His help. You need to seek out Jesus and invite Him in your heart, so that He may guide you out of darkness you have allowed yourself to wallow in for eternity.Thing will not "get better" until He returns. In fact, they will only keep on getting worse and worse, but to those who have accepted Him may have peace and joy in knowing and having Him near them. But to those who continue to reject Him, you will ultimately be lost.
>>729229984Based cool clock anon. That soonds autistic but nice
>>729210942First I can remember was probably Pokemon Gold in 2001 and it came with a Gameboy Color as well I think. My mum probably got presents for me and my brothers before but I was too young to notice so this was the first time I can vividly remember it. I still remember one very odd memory where I played it for maybe 20 minutes and then put it down to go do something else, went into the living room and asked my brother where he was in Silver and he told me he's "lost in a forest somewhere" and it made me think he was wayyyyy ahead of me only to find out he's just in Route 29 and then I happily told him "Ah, you're in the same place I am!"Weird how the mind works, I just remember that super well but nothing else about that day.

>>729210884I remember getting a PS4 and FIFA 14 for my 8th birthday. Good times.
>>729213295My mum was the entire reason I had presents for Christmas, she somehow got stuff for me and my two brothers every year without fail despite staying at home all day and my dad being fucking useless otherwise. He wouldn't even give her money for the presents and she instead had to save up whatever she could usually government benefits for child care but every year we woke up to tons of presents. She told me many stories over the years relating to vidya she bought. One time she wanted to buy a console for us back in 96 but didn't know if the Mega Drive or SNES was better so she asked a guy on the counter only for him and another worker to start bickering over which console was better. After around 20 minutes of trying to convince her to get one over the other she chose to get both and the best part was my dad saw that we had two game consoles and thought "one is enough" and decided to take the SNES as a present to my cousin instead.Another time she pretended to be from the newspaper to get a "review copy" of a Wii from a store back when it released in 2006. They believed her instantly for some reason and allowed her to purchase it for a discounted price as well. The only sad part was that she wasted a lot of money on buying three copies of the same game for us so we wouldn't have to share. I can understand why but it's a shame she didn't just decide on buying as much games as she could from the magazines. Still, she kept up to date with as many games as she could, even getting Pokémon Red/Blue day one since she heard it was a big game in America on the radio before it came over to the UK.
>>729215248Probably my earliest memory was when I was around 4 and my dad buried a small box with a power ranger toy and a handmade parachute for it in his vegetable garden. He told me the badger who lived near the garden had left me a gift (there really was a badger there) and told me to dig for it. It was insanely cool for my child brain.

>>729230883My dad did the same thing for me. He gave me a little digging shovel and hid a bunch of "jewelery" in my back yard and I went digging for it. I think he told me a story about how there was treasure from the people who lived here before us. I loved Pikmin 2 at the time so it was even more special.

>mfw son of a single mother>stopped celebrating most holidays after I reached 11>stopped getting gifts>just got a collective 50 bucks if I was lucky>stopped celebrating birthdays so I can barely remember opening wrapped up presents>was extremely depressed until I reached 23 or so>my mother told me how upset she was to see me be such a shut inI hope all those that lived through similar experiences can find the strength to heal, I'm in my 30s and together with my girlfriend we recently discovered I find it difficult to want things that aren't just food or stuff we need around the house.
Every year and general holiday my parents always made sure we knew we didn't deserve to celebrate and how ungrateful I was. Once I did finally accept is when my parents switch and now they get all upset when I don't participate in Christmas and holidays. Specially this year after my like got nuked I'm not celebrating this holiday ever again and I'm not putting up with their bullshit. Always seems to be the same with my life. I want something and work my ass off to never get it. Then when I accept defeat and no longer want it, that's when it comes to me, which since I don't want it anymore I still don't get it.

>>729235501my dad is literally going to die within a year and there will be no one to pay the billsI've tried driving but it just freaks me out too much, I don't have a license and I've never applied for a job before and have no idea howI could never get any job here without driving so I'm stuck>>729235627I'm not walking 3 miles to a shit job
>>729211369You were 2003 years old and your dad was still buying you birthday presents?
>>729232484your parents didnt stop her from doing this? im kinda close to my nephew and super close to my brother and he would 100% rip my dick off if i did anything like that.
>>729232484I'm baffled by these child abuse stories. The few times I was unfairly treated (dad tried to break my arms when drunk once, at age 7; age 10, he pushed me down and kicked me a few times), I took a knife to my parents while they were sleeping then threatened to burn the house down. They shut the fuck up after that. You were 10 anon, certainly big enough to wield a knife or heavy book and sneak up on your aunt. Worst case scenario you get sent to a hospital for evaluation and meds a few weeks too. Kids can get away with anything. And where were your mom and grandparents? If they actually loved you, they wouldn't have let your aunt do that. Negligence is just as deserving of slicey dicey.
>>729216279One Christmas long ago, I remember telling my parents I'd buy my own children lots of Lego.Lego being ungodly expensive hurts me in a way all the expensive houses and groceries don't. It's the one thing I really thought we'd be able to afford.

>>729235317Just completely change your life around on a dime and be happy! :)
>>729211479No it is not. Go ahead and list the ones where you are a legal adult at 16, there are less than 10 you fucking idiot.
Every game felt endless as a child.
>>729236279*you'retyshi cuh old enuf fr
>>729236441time did toosummer break felt like a year
>>729210942I've never gotten a game for christmas. I've never owned a console. The only gaming gifts I've gotten are a few gaming keyboards over the years.
>>729235708There are people with Down syndrome that function better than you. This is all self imposed. You deserve the situation you’re in then.
>>729219851same, and I wasn't abused like all these people.I'm guessing adulthood sucks if you didn't put in the work growing up to get a cushy job. I was busting my ass in school and wasn't able to enjoy it like one big vacation
>>729212325my grandma would give the same or equal tier gifts to all my siblings and cousins, then afterwards quietly call me to her room and open up her cash drawer and give me a crisp $100 bill, i had no problem keeping quiet, helped me to become good at keeping people's secrets as an adult and my friends see as trustworthy, miss her so much
>>729235887Nobody could stop her. She'd yell at my mu and talk her down whenever she said anything, and it'd make her launch into an hour-long lecture about video games. My grandparents were mostly unaware, and I was too naive to think that I could stand up for myself.>>729236076It just doesn't work like that sometimes. I've never been a violent person, and the thought of threatening her back, let alone with a fucking KNIFE, never occured to me, even when I was copping daily physical abuse. It happens because nobody stops them, I guess.

>>729210884In 2002 I ripped the presents only and got in big trouble. Mom bought DBZ Budokai and Kirby Nightmare in Dreamland for me but lied to me and said she didn't to try and surprise me.

>>729235708>life sucks but I won't do anything to fix itFuck off lmaoCrybaby faggot Oh life is hard I dont like jobsGrow up
My parents knew I liked video games and computer related things when I was a kid, I was really open about my interests.Every Christmas/Birthday was still "We have no idea what you like so here are clothes and maybe 50 dollars" anyways and a guilt trip about making the holidays so hard for them because I never told them what I wanted (I did) or even what I currently liked (I did).Looking back I think they didn't register my interests because they didn't want to spend the money on new games.
