What game was it for you?

I'm way happier now than I was as a kid

I don't really miss anything about my youth beyond crossdressing and having people to play sportsball with that you could get physical against.
Like, right now I have money, and uncompromised internet access, and all my own shit.

This image gives off the same kind of performative fauxstalgia vibe as zoomies posing with PSPs and CRTs.
Just something really cringe and insincere about it.

Same here. In addition to that, I'm playing those titles and more on my Steam deck.
Zero nostalgia. I'm only interested in the present.

You have free will.
Turn off your router, put your phone in another room, get some snacks, sit down on the couch and play that game you've been meaning to play.

can we just ban these sòyllennial nostalgiaboomer threads already?

I've replayed a lot of old games and also played some old games that I didn't have a chance to play back in the day, I'm struggling to find one I didn't enjoy, like every game they have some tedious parts but overall they're all good experiences.
Maybe NFSU2 wasn't as fun as I remember.

Skill issue. keep crying about how the games you love in the past don't feel you with joy anymore while adding a facebook tier image. You nostalgia addicted baby.
>>
>>737779386
sóóymers failed to create a meaningful childhood so we will have to regurgitate sóylennials childhood forever as the definition of nostalgia now that the 80s are overdone.
>>
Maybe you're depressed and that prevents you to enjoy anything and it has nothing to do with the games? Have you ever thought about that?
>>
>>737779652
>to enjoy
from enjoying, esl moment
>>
>>737778854
What gave you that impression? The fact that the retard who made it could only think of Linkin Park (twice), Korn and Limp Bizkit for nostalgic music? Or maybe the PS1 sitting right next to a PS2, knowing damn well PS2 was backwards compatible?

Maybe the three Silent Hill games next to Dino Crisis, a game that pretty much no one played? Entire thing is performative bullshit probably made by some retard who never actually experienced any of it.
>>
>>737778816
This, and not only that, many of those games I loved as a teenager/older kid are still pretty good.

It helps when you're not a faggot that gets so caught up in thinking about the past that he can't learn to enjoy the moment right in front of him now.

It's funny since I was born in the early 2000s, and the perfect night for me was eating some chinese food from Top's China while playing gamecube/Xbox/DS games while watching Ed Edd n Eddy or Ben 10. I didn't get into music until I was like 10 years old. OP's pic is pure larp.

I genuinely like MediEvil more now than I did back in 1998. Kid me would ride the axe, hammer and whatever the best sword I had was because they were unlimited. These days I actually use the weapons they give me.

I'm actually white. I had a very indistinct and middling childhood befitting a lower middle class white Canadian. I got a job when I was 14 and have been progressively happier since then.
If you want to hear my lived experiences as a former white child in a first world country, I have a few.
>Playing Sly 2 on Christmas 2005~ and struggling to 'get' it, being shipped off to visit my great grandmother with my cousin for Boxing Day dinner and coming back to my brother having finished the first two chapters
>Getting the sick as shit Ratchet Size Matters PSP for my seventh~ birthday
>tricking my grandmother into getting me Resident Evil 1 and 2 when she took me out shopping for the same birthday
>a year later having her blow my birthday budget on some retarded combining Bakugan monstrosity, even though I was never publicly into Bakugan as a kid and didn't like TCGs at all
I could tell you about how fun it was being forced to sit in my great grandmother's home on Boxing Day at six years old, while my cousin only watched gay live action Disney shows all while I was slowly finding out I had a cat allergy that I never knew about (thanks to my great grandmother's cat).
Or the time my Scottish grandfather beat my ass for knocking over a lamp when I was six.

I remember not being able to take a shit at school because other kids were annoying as fuck in the bathroom so I had to hold it in all day with stomach pain.
Having to eat disgusting cafeteria food every day, my mom not letting me be on the computer past 8 pm, having no money to get video games so having to replay the same stuff over and over. Damn right life is better now, I also work from home.

i see. sry bro, i thought you were brown. yes that is a proper sad childhood. i get it now.

Describe my favorite food, what I was doing and playing as part of a perfect night for when I was a child? Yes, I did. At least I wasn't following some performative stereotype like eating doritos and pizza while guzzling coke. This image and post just reeks of someone checking boxes on a clip board.

Most games that I liked as kid were pretty crappy when tried playing those later. Very few exceptions.
But I don't bother with old games anymore.
Rather just stick with newer games. New stuff is more fun to experience. Don't already know what is gonna happen in game, good graphics, good gameplay. It's just nice. Past is in the past. Better not dwell there. People who do that just become miserable/angry hating everything because they're not 12 anymore and in the worst cases really obsessed and crazy

Every single game there is a certified banger besides Dino Crisis which I'm convinced is just some collective amnesia from people who haven't played it in a decade plus games is fucking ass.

Playing Planetside in the early 2000s was a glorious fucking experience. They were trying to make a MMOFPS back in the day when half the country was on fucking DIAL UP, but I have to respect the attempt and the fact it had ZERO MICROTRANSACTIONS / F2P bullshit / paid cosmetics. Only those on broadband could really have a chance at playing, but even with that they still coded it as they had to so that a lot of it was client side detection, which meant in the later years chinese cheating ruined everything.

It was a totally new experience, spending 30 minutes slowly stealthing your way to an enemy base in the hopes you could hack into a tower nearby so your squad could spawn, or if you could break a siege by blowing a generator . Crazy times

It’s a boring VN with shounenshit tier writing.
Combat is slow and terrible, RPG mechanics are non-existent. If I had to play any tab target MMO XIV would unironically be my very last choice, it’s that bad.

It's worse when you just have the memories.
