Heh.
depression is so quirky
I can't wait to feel like unc!
>>740882437The joke is child rape
>>740882734>depressionWrong, he is crying because it's nothing like the original and he wasted 80 bucks + 20 bucks ultradeluxe dlc version on it
I miss her so much, bros.She's not even human.
'member when comics were supposed to be funny instead of a failed artist's portrayal of their own misery?
>>740882437im a millennial and this is the gayest stupidest millennial joke slop garbage I've seen in the last 10 minutes and I'm sure I'll see worse pretty soon
>>740882937dont talk like that about asian girls
>>740882982B^U
Being a child sucks ass. It was nothing but dumb and blind displeasure; I would rather be dead than ~4 years old
>>740883072Yeah, I'm a loser but I don't really get the childhood nostalgia. What I remember from my childhood is that it was mostly boring.
>>740882870Even worse he spent hours of his day for months leading up to his release defending every artistic or stylistic change against "haters" or dissenters or even people respectfully dissapointed. THEN he fucking played it and formed his opinion on it but after engaging in the 5 Steps of Grief, went back to defending it. Now he does that for days, years on end on reddit, this site and social media.
>>740882870/threadthere is no good remake
>>740882870No you dumb fuck.Nothing will recapture the magic of being a kid>its the gamesNo its time
>>740882437The remake is that bad, huh?
>>740882437I felt thatAlmost 30 years from the original release and I am still hoping to find a girlfriend.
>>740884103That's the thing. The language is a lie. They're not wired to do the "friend" part. If they cheat on you, they will have zero guilt.
>>740882734What would happen if everyone with depression, even incredibly mild depression, just went and killed themselves?
>>740882437i also feel empty. nothing can fill the void any more.

>>740882982It's funny because it's portraying the failed artist's misery when he was a child and his parents were always fighting and then getting divorced.

>>740883402I don't get the childhood nostalgia because my childhood sucked.
>>740882437Meh, better is that one where a guy wishes to return to his childhood to play his Vidya and he actually gets his wish...but it also returned his parents extremely loud fights in the other room.

>>740888049What does your reply add?
>>740882437
>>740888114answer. the question. >:(
>>740882437Skill issue, I find happiness in video games, by avoiding triple A, which is incidentally where all these remakes are.
I've never said this, I more get excited at the premise that it's something that they can't really fuck up.Except now I can't really recommend picking up a fairly solid remake of 3 very good games because the people that own the IP now are assholes.The Relics being lazily ported into the Crash Remakes suck because they're legitimately awful in Crash 1 since the levels are not at all designed to be played like that, and they're only at best servicable in 2. It's also a huge missed opportunity that 2's moveset wasn't ported to 1. I can kind of understand the unlockable moves from 3 not being in 2 and 1, y'know except maybe if there was a cheat to toggle them on or offYes I know the game needs color correction too, but that's less important.
>>740882437I get it. It's because he was molested.
>>740887903comedic timing, you autistic retard
>>740888329>I more get excited
lol
>>740882437Panel 1 and 3or 1 and 4or 2 and 3or 2 and 4or 3 and 4Many choices to fix this comic.
>>740888395got bad news, she was getting drilled in 2020 too
>>740888513 the joke is that in 2026 your girlfriend being a 'model' implies that you have an AI girlfriend. But of course your mind immediately thought of getting cucked
>>740882870I think the idea is even if the remake is good it wont make him feel like a kid again.
>>740888595>talk about women>his mind goes to AIyour girlfriend is DEFINITELY getting drilled
>>740888684
>>740888439Yes, I'm more excited about the premise of them having something they can't really fuck up than I am saying that I'm "reliving my childhood".That's why they're part of the same sentence you illiterate SEAmonkey.
>>740882437They didn't change the Galaxy games at all and I still enjoyed replaying those. Granted I don't have depression.
>>740887490I actually loled. Well done.
>>740888595I figured that in 2026 it implies your girlfriend is on onlyfans... or something to that effect.
>>740882437He's just like me fr
>>740889026holy nostalgia
>>740887490Is this the same comic were the christmas one is some guy giving a very long monologue of a science fuction adventure with space ghosts?
>>740882437maybe we were just meant to be fat ugly bastard brigands but we were just simply born far too late to live our best lives
>>740883590>>740888620Stop with your midwit platitude that was invented to defend slop purveyors. the problem is the remakes are fucking trash. Fun things didn't stop being fun just because you became an adult, you don't need to be physically transformed back in to an 8 year old to enjoy playing Majora's Mask. A shit remake failing to evoke nostalgia is not proof that nostalgia does not exist.
>>740887694Kek
>>740889242>the problem is the remakes are fucking trash. Fun things didn't stop being fun just because you became an adultCase in point: the remakes of old DQ games on the DS were really good.
>>740882437Is he crying because he is remembering the sexual molestation that occurred when he was young that made him attach emotionally to a video game?
>>740887425I just think they're contrarian and closed-minded.
>>740887490LOL!

>>740888049it adds a better opinion

>>740887732why so sour?
I love going back to old favorites and non-favorites and confirming that I did in fact always have good taste and discernment.
>>740882437Is it because the remake is bad or because, for him, feeling like a kid means being reminded of being raped every night by his uncle, turning him gay and ruining his one chance at existence?
>>740891757good hyper ass is when it's just her butt and absolutely none of her thighs or hips
>>740891818>redditfrog
>I'm so excited for the [game] remake, I'm about to be 13 again!I don't understand people who say this. What's stopping you from playing the original? Wouldn't playing the original game be more nostalgic? Why do you need corporations to feed you half-assed remakes of your favorite games for $80 + tip to feel like a kid again?
>>740882437I'm glad that 30 years later my favorite game series (started on game boy color) Is not only alive, but getting a new game on all the major platforms in a few months.
>>740882437I dunno, it sorta worked out for me. Well, maybe not #1 game but top 5. We also don't talk about the first time they tried.
guffaw
>>740882437the joke is he's playing peekaboo and is very happy
Wait did you guys have happy childhoods?I had not friends and sat in the bathroom crying half the day.Being an adult who can do my hobbies is way better.
>>740882437He's sad in the last panel because he realized he wasted $70 on a dogshit remake. He would have been happier if he just played the original.

>>740897095they did, this is a work of fiction mocking a strawman. nobody sits down and says "i can't wait to feel like a kid again"
>>740897148Have you not seen Ocarina or Star Fox remake threads
>>740897249please point me to one of the people in those threads saying "i can't wait to feel like a kid again"
>>740882437Why do these guys idolize childhood so much
>>740897052>fag get reeIt's the dumbest shit that makes you laugh the hardest.
>>740897324That's when they peaked
>>740897323I've seen them I don't need to lie, fag and you're not worth the effort
>>740897445couldn't find any, huh?
>>740895496I had a relatively normal childhood with friends, playing sports, etc, but became a turbo NEET in the making as soon as I hit high school. I was extremely alienated from the normalfag world during that time but by some miracle I became deathly ill and had to stay home most of the time anyways. Now I'm a full time office wagie and I've never been more miserable.
>>740882870that AND the money didn't even go to the original developers, but the vultures feeding off the company's carcass
>>740882437Deserved for partaking in demake slop
>>740887603you'll laugh but theres a chapter in jungle book covering exactly this topic, mother nature and mowgli razing a whole village. i want to see that movie.
>>740888620This. Finding a good new game makes you feel like a kid again. Remakes for people who know the originals well are commentary at best. There's nothing nostalgic about seeing something you grew up with but totally different. That's just how everything is when you're old.>>740889242-t assblasted nostalgiafag
>>740897052goo on teat is what got me

>>740882437I'm currently watching my favorite series get turned into cinematic slop (even more so than the "survivor" trilogy of the 2010s) with the best female protagonist in all of vidya being replaced by a flat chested brown boy.
>>740895326It gets a pass because the entire original game is an unlockable extra.And the PSP remake wasn't bad.
>>740882870>>740888620Couldn't be me, I enjoyed the fuck out of my childhood game getting a remake
>>740889242Holy based/thread

>>740900057What?
>>740889242Funny you say this while acting like a complete child. Throwing a tantrum and stomping your foot and crying about how all remakes suck and the people who like them all hate old games and are big meanies.

You can't escape growing old and things changing. What people want is for things to feel like the 90's and early 2000's again, and that will never happen. Technology has advanced too much, and society has changed adapted to the changes. The world you were born into and grew up in no longer exists. It's a cruel reality that everyone must face as they get older. The 1980's aren't coming back, nor are the 1990's. Younger people growing up right now might think "Wow, life is amazing." But 15-20 years from now they might think "Wow, 2026 was GREAT! Now it's 2046 and life sucks." It's a combination of several variables. Becoming an adult, having responsibilities, paying bills, having to get a job, taking care of yourself, losing friends, etc. I guess everyone handles it differently, but for some people it materializes as depression and suicidal thoughts.
>>740882863>>740882734He's playing peekaboo.
>>740913206I think part of the prevailing mood on the internet is because of physiologically-depressed adults. 20 years ago everyone on the internet was younger, fitter, and happier. Now there's a huge glut of ~40 year olds who haven't been to a gym in a decade and it comes through in their posts.
>>740895496Happy enough.I could do my hobbies then too, nowadays I just have more spare time for it and pay my taxes.
>>740882734depression sucks and i hate itnothing is funi don't like talking to anyonei legit sit in my room 24/7 only leaving to shit because i can't shit in my room, i piss in a medical jug because i just can't be assed to leave my roomi haven't been outside in over 10 yearssometimes i just sit and stare at my computer and do nothing i can't even enjoy watching videos or reading anymore.i can't even fall asleep anymore and when i do it's like only for 3 hrsi haven't spoken to a human in person since i graduated high school 16 years ago
>>740882870This
>>740913589this sounds more like depression as a result of circumstances rather than the other way around
Using games to feel like a child again ain’t healthy
>>740913589I'm sorry that you're going through that. Do you want to change it?
>>740913706its actually both. its called a vicious cycle.
>>740889613she's actually kinda hot

>>740884103Xenogears a shit
>>740883590>No you dumb fuck.that's what you are, worthless faggot
why would I play a remake if I wanted to feel like that when they are specifically made to rape the games to pander to a new and retarded audience?I'd play the original.
>>740882437He felt like a kid and remembered how he got raped?
>>740915780nobody asked you to play it, fatass
>>740915847I WILL play it and shit on you, nigger.
>>740913206this is cope.you see retarded children trying to be nostalgic for the 360 era but that instantly collapses when you point out that games havent changed at all since then.things have objectively gotten much worse.the focus on remake slop is really all the only argument you need.
>>7408879032nd and 3rd panel just show the text "IF YOU SEE THIS YOU AIN'T A GAY FAG CONGRATZ"
>>740883590this applies to everything, like women wearing lolita and collecting plushies in their 30s, being a Disney adult and going to disneyland in your 30s without children, also romance, people stuck on romance anime set in high school for example, because they wanna relive the magic of teenage romance they missed out on.games is just one of them.
>>740889242true, but nostalgia is a factor but also quality is a factor too, as usual all nuance is lost
>>740883590no, dumb faggot. it's the gamesi am still playing some of those games for the first time and they are all good unlike the unplayable trash they release today kill yourself

>>740927096>"You don't know what you want!" – cries Mike from Marketing – "And we don't either. Please enjoy this sanctioned collection of ROMs and a re-whatever-the-fuck of a game that was really profitable some decades ago."IMHO all the attitudes around remakes and old games and nostalgia stem from some other underlying fundamentals that we can't quite articulate well enough. At least the average vidya customer is too much of hypefag / outrage whore to express his worldview coherently.
>>740927345lmao
>>740883072>>740883402People like being a child because they got to be pathetic without feeling bad about it That's the actual reason.You can lay around all Saturday buying candy/pop to play video games without giving a fuck
People are way too easily nostalgic.Shit that people interacted with for 5-10 mins will have a breakdown they get to now also look at it for 5-10 mins before getting bored. Or it's so tiny who gives a fuck

>>740935143Maybe its because hes old and unmarried. What a faggot. Ocarina of Time is the greatest of all time, but even the Goat isn't going to cure your depression
Do people not revisit older games?
>>740925928this is basically the truthif you’re not happy doing the same thing over and over, then shake up your routineyou can always go back to videogames and pizza later after playing with your pet or doing some pushupsjust shake it up
>>740934440>You can lay around all Saturday buying candy/pop to play video games without giving a fuckI still do that. Feeling bad about relaxing on a saturday is a skill issue.
