No no, they just think that someone who was 13 in 2011 should be like 15 now. They refuse to acknowledge that when they were told "old is 2004 and before" that was because IT WAS 2011 and not because "old" stopped advancing in 2004 and they were part of the last generation to know this universal truth.

Tell me with a straight face that Fortnite as it exists right now could've released in 2007 and reached the exact same success and raised no difficulties in the process. Battle passes are a new idea anon. Not all advancement is good, but it still alters the culture of gaming enough that you can tell shit isn't the same as it was in 200 fucking 7, and anyone who tells you it is is in complete denial because they were told that "improvement" means "better gwafix"

The meme about how "old" means "been here since this specific year" was always a meme. Old is about your age, as in, the number of years that have passed since your arrival, not arriving in a designated "old" year. Someone who has been here since 2011 is old compared to someone who has been here since 2024, to deny this is retarded.

Imagine telling someone in 2007 the next 20 years of gaming would amount to nothing new except the introduction of battle passes lol.

Fortnite as it exists right now could've released in 2007. the only reason it didn't come out earlier is because zachtronics wouldn't post infinimier, which would become minecraft, until 2009, and cliffyb has zero imagination of his own.
>>
>>738875951
No, it literally means the site culture has changed to a point where it doesn't matter how long you "lurk," but when.
>>
>>738876208
Wrong. Fortnite as it exists now couldn't come about until battle passes, matchmaking-only online, the phrase "lobby" meaning the friends you bring into matchmaking and not the match itself, and many other things were normalized. You don't register these things as changes because they happened slowly. That's what culture changing in such a way that new stuff can become "retro" actually looks like. Slow.
>>
>>738876208
>the only reason it didn't come out earlier is because zachtronics wouldn't post infinimier
Are you retarded?
>>
>>738876267
No, it literally just meant "lurk moar". Faggots who insisted that a specific set of years was the only true set of years and it was impossible to "get it" if you weren't there with them from the year they joined the site were faggots, and remain faggots.

that's objectively correct yes

also fortnite started out as a goyslop brown-people/purple enviroment survival base builder campaign and eventually added in the battle-royale circle bandwagon later after they realized the main game was going to flop so its not correct to say it didn't have a single-player experience or forced people into one specific gamemode either

yeah, as time passes, each generation holds up whatever they grew up with as the pinnacle of culture even if they shit all over it during its prime time.
if you want and even closer hit to home, maplestory classic had anons reminiscing about the good old days. you know, the times when we collectively used to make fun of people for playing maplestory and gaia online. same thing is happening with anime too, I used to get called weird for watching anime that wasn't in english but now its the norm and suddenly everyone is talking about all those shows they grew up with that they watched online in secret, LIKE ME.

everyone is a fucking poser, and only when their ego is safe from being checked will they admit they liked something cringe from their past.

Why? Who knows. Only thing I came to realize from my journey away from this hellhole was that generally it wasn't 4chan alone that got worse, but the internet as a whole overall.

The current state, as shit as it might be from time to time is still objectively better than the infinite

loop the board had when I quit though.

At least it's still better than the rest

I do enjoy arguing with you fags though, the only regret I've ever had about 4chan aside from spending too much time on it, is that I never really made that much OC past 2015.

Also not hosting more gamenight servers, the day 1 starbound serb (game was awful, but fun was had) and MVM TF2 private servers when the official steam servers were too hammered to work were the tits.

That's funny considering you're not truly mature until you're at least 25.

I'm guessing this is the border years (mid 95 to 00) between the generations?
That. I distinctly remember everybody being way happier in the mid 00s, with waning but still there optimism that things will be better in the end.

that's a meme from neuroscience, claiming since neuroplasticity slows down once you're no longer in grad school and settled into a career, that's when the brain is "developed." Neuroplasticity is literally learning.

You can only reply to this post if you know what NOKO means

>>738888482
No-Ko means no KO it's used for fighting video games where you can't KO your opponent, instead of KO-ing you would get teleported to your own stage
