I am 36, work at CVS, and I have a 22yo coworker born in 2004. I know talking with your co-workers about vidya is a meme, but I do it anyway with this kid. Most of his favorite games are PS2 games like FFX and Sly Cooper. It pisses me off and I have to constantly remind him that he was born after that era and never truly experienced them, and that emulating them or buying them today doesn't count. He doesn't see an issue with it and always says shit like "well people listen to bands before their time, why can't I do that with games?" and I just shake my head.

Why do the younger folk just constantly steal our games? They're not for you. They weren't made for you. You don't understand them like we do.

Boomers here do it too claiming garbage from the pre3D era is the greatest thing ever and millennials never experienced it. No clue why everyone is up their own ass about games. Fucking gen alpha currently has it the best. Access to majority of all games ever released in their full form, with the only exceptions being a few lost media and multiplayer games, and will probably actually recieve meaningful nervegear in the future.

Millennials have turned into boomers much quicker than boomers did when it comes to whining about younger gens. They did it in their late 50's millennials are doing it in their 40's. I predict millennials will be more hated than boomers not cause of wealth, they have none but purely based on attitude and ego all unearned.

Why do millennials simultaneously believe themselves superior to younger people for enjoying old things, while also hating when younger people do enjoy old things regardless? Sounds like you just hate everyone younger than you because you saw clips of young people doing stupid shit on tik tok or something. It's the exact same shit boomers did with you.
For myself, I primarily play games from before I was born because they're better than cod/roblox/fortnite or whatever else you think someone my age "should" be playing, simple as that. What really annoys me personally is guys my age who only play games like yakuza or dmc so they can say they've played them when they spam memes they saw on reddit.

This si why you never tell people what you like. Instead, when someone brings up something you like, call them a fag. Only downside is if a girl likes something you like, but you didn't say you liked it, some fag said he liked it, and they hit it off, that's ropefuel.

Zoomers are young adults out of school now and it's always been a trend for the relatively easier-to-enter retro game space to appeal to those who now have to start buying their own games, considering a lot of the old shit is free and even buying retro can be cheaper depending on platform and where you look. Just think of the millennial hipster-ism of wearing NES controller belt buckles in the early 2000s.

some of us were third worlders that grew up playing on a pentium 4 shitbox with emulators and roms from a usb stick or cd rom, some others decided to pick it up later in life and buy a chink handheld with thousands of games, some others decided to download a fuckload of roms and retroarch and link a controller to pass the time because retro gaming yields a virtually infinite number of game hours for as little as $0 and exponential returns upon increasing your investment a bit into a good controller or handheld with more capacity and lower latency

Getting young people to engage with things from before their time is a huge pain half the time and you're DISCOURAGING someone who's doing it of his own volition? There's a difference between gatekeeping and being a bitter nostalgic and you're the latter here.
>>
>>743274694
I genuinely don't understand why more young people DON'T have interested in retro games. You'd think if you were so invested in something as a hobby, you'd be curious about its roots or at least its earlier incarnations adjacent to what you've experienced in your life.

I genuinely don't care if OP is baiting or false flagging or whatever, because it's cynical to even force yourself to discern that instead of going "well that'd be fucking weird," and I think the conversation postulated by his situation is one worth prompting. Younger people and retro games will always be an interesting association.
>>
>>743274808
Most people who engage with hobbies only care about when they start onwards besides maybe some true classics that everybody around them has mentioned. It's not unique to video games, music taste is very much like this. Some people really don't know anything about music from before they started going to school. Of course there's people who go too far like the "born in the wrong generation" comments on Classic Rock youtube uploads from a decade ago but at least there's an intent to discover there.

You're either a living absurdity or a shitpost. The only part I dislike about younger generations gooning to earlier shit is when they're pretentious about it. "Oh it was so much better though!!" No it wasn't, I was there. Technology overall was significantly worse in the 90s and 00s.
>>
Okay, while this is obviously bait, I'd like to address anyone who'd think to do anything even remotely similar.

Having the yourger generations respect and appreciate the classics is the best thing we could ever hope for. The more they know how good things were back then, the more they'll reject the current slop being made. Emulation and preservation exist precisely for this to be possible. If he's using emulator features to cheat, then maybe try to steer him away from doing that, but not by discouraging him completely. Even that is still miles better than consuming the flavor of the month GaaS.

Counter point: Faggots like OP also do this with music. I've known people well into their 30s get pissy over zoom zooms liking the nu metal, metalcore, or screamo they listened to when they were in high school. These were the same people whining about Justin Bieber and One Direction being popular with kids and not rock music in like 2011. No idea when "kids you should listen to this instead" became "WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU LISTENING TO THAT BAND THAT'S FOR ME YOU FUCKING THIEF" and I assume it happened the same time with video games.
>>
i never had a problem with anyone liking older stuff.
What did piss me off is when zoomers (but to be fair it wasn't just zoomers some touristy millennials did this too) was when they started nostalgia fagging over retro stuff they come out with some real porkies showing they were never around during that time and have total ignorance over vidya.
Stuff like assuming game devs ham-stringed by technology limitations were making the games to fit a particular style.
The style is what people perceive now when they try to recreate these games.
But there was genuine tech limitations that forced developers to cut corners and be creative. Not that they were making stuff to a style.
Thats such retarded retroactive thinking
>>
>>743257716
I don't really care either way. Would you rather them play some mobile slop instead? It's cool that some of them appreciate older titles and will probably keep them alive in public memory. Millennials are really obnoxious when it comes to "mine mine mine". I don't remember Gen Xers getting mad when we got into Marvel shit or older music. I would rather them go back and play old games than claim the new demake slop was better

It really wasn't. Food was worse, information was worse, biotech was worse, computers were worse, pharma was worse, entertainment was worse, insurance was worse, the market was worse, automotive was worse, school was worse, phones and pagers and phonebooks and taxes and maps and reviews and reading and late night fireworks and Disneyland and smoking and even porn were all worse. Just because you have nostalgia for Saturday morning cartoons and being ignorant as fuck doesn't make the time better. Guess what, the now is defacto better than prior because you still can play all those games and all the new good ones too. Stop being a retard, 4:3 remains ass forever and always and so do both corded and cordless phones and blue light specials. Jolt cola and surge are overrated as fuck, current zero calorie energy drinks mog them in taste and wakefulness boost and fizzy satisfaction and dosing my ass with creatine.

Protip: bit of chan history lost to new fags. Nostalgia fagging used to be ruthlessly mocked on here. Theres evidence of people nostalgia fagging on the internet all the way back to the 80s.
So what changed? around 2010 the gaming scene was flooded by hipsters that switched from wearing flannel shirts and moustaches to 1up tshirts and collecting old retro gaming stuff.
They would onions gape over anything old like massive faggots its the origin of

OP's right though. I am the same age and had to haul ass mowing lawns, shoveling snow, and stashing away any sort of birthday money I had just to come up with enough to buy a PS2 in 2002 with ICO, and I didn't even fucking like it.
Downloading PCSX2 or buying a used PS2 for like $20 and modding it to have every game you could ever want isn't the same.
Unless you were there during that period, you didn't understand these games or the culture surrounding them. Beating them today is not the same as beating them 20+ years ago. I don't care if you've explored every single facet of Ratchet & Clank and finished it with 100% completion, you have ZERO connection to that game because you weren't there. I'd rather listen to someone my age who only played it for like 30 minutes and dipped because at least they were there in 2002.

The big issue with nostalgia fagging is they think ANYTHING old is good. Regardless if its good or not.

It doesn't sound like he's claiming those games are his childhood or that he's feigning nostalgia for an era he didn't experience, just that those are quality games in his eyes. I fail to see the issue, is someone not allowed to.like media from the past? Is he suppose to like garbage like Fortnite, the PS5 Spiderman, or TLOU2?

If you can't get passed the fact that the material possibilities for someone to go into a store, buy a console, buy some games, in the ease as it used to be back then is no longer possible either because the costs are extraordinary or because there isn't either enough supply or demand, then congratulations, you're old.
I saw the writing on the wall when I turned 27, that was around 2012, think about it, when I saw that the games were getting stupider, more friendly to people who don't otherwise give a fuck about video games that I knew it was only a matter of time before the industry that I knew was going to already change to something casual. That's it.
Now, here we are: your games are easy to find, easy to download and emulate. You get old and find, in one hand, your favorite old shit can survive and be preserved by incidence of whatever black or grey market incentives (even some of my favorite porn films can be remastered or enhanced for preservation and easy to find), but on the other hand, the new shit sucks and the old stuff is being appreciated by guys that didn't, or wouldn't, give a fuck about context of the times. That's all part of getting old.
If you can't get passed all of that, then that's on you man.
Just take a look at this website: every joke about the janitors is true: some of them are losers, psychologically decrepit that it's not even a joke anymore, it's a standard feature. The kind of faggotry that you find pointed at other places on the web you can find it right here (you said "folk" dipshit, that's a linguistic tell that you're a poser).
As far as Zoomers "stealing" things, I don't give a shit that they do, because they know that they'll never have it as good as we did.
If they want something unique and good of their own, then they'll have to make it themselves - even beat Millennials with some of their mediocre products that they made for themselves given the tautological tendencies that Millennials tend to have .

I'd be happy if the younger generation grew up with what I did or even further beyond to experience and prolong the culture that was before them to keep alive the traditions of the generations before ours that sadly passed away in 2000s and 2010s and wanted to promote them instead of "current day" bullshit, as long as they learn to respect the craft and the art that went into that shit and did not try to enforce modern values onto them, that's more than beneficial to society as a whole than gatekeeping shit.

>tautological.
tautology is just fact driven statement making, deontology is retarded because it assumes a virtue system and a purity spiral checklist to one's life. one is true to nature the other is ripe for exploitation by those at the top of society, for cucks by cucks.

Sure, but I'm not saying Millennials are correct. In fact they usually put the cart before the horse (you're right about the deontology): they presume some moral/ethical gesture - and I do mean just gesture - to follow with a truth of some kind to back it up: like a topic to thesis. Really rudimentary shit - but yeah, that's Millennials for you: my point still stands.
>>743286943
I don't know what the fuck you're on about kid but frankly you prove my point about this website and where things have gone. Understand that anyone serious about thinking for themselves in the whole video game scene has long moved on from this website and the only ones that are stupid enough to come back (like me) are only here to just watch the stupid go from "ironc stupid" to actual stupid.

There are a lot of them but like the other anon said they tend to be closed-off and not very popular at school, all of them live online.

My Steam friends who are also Gen Z only play old games like Half-Life but maybe that's because I don't interact with people who play AAA

Ohhh I see where this is going then: you have a kid that isn't popular, can't connect, so they plug in to something old because it's safe, non-contested because no one among the zoomers care.
To that I say as an old faggot "sure, enjoy the games but try to plug in with people even if don't care or get them. It's not so much about being popular it's just knowing who you're dealing with for later on down the road."
Or something along those lines because if there's a chance that they don't end up a fuck up like some Gen Y or X have by sticking their head up a digital hole then more power to them.

If you're that said Zoomer then I'm just going to tell you to stop feeling sorry for yourself. Seriously life is not as bad as what you make it out. I firmly believe that you were born as "the right man for the wrong time." Which is pretty neat because the question is, who knows what cool novel things could result by that odd coupling. For instance: when I was just getting out of high school I kicked it into high gear hanging out on this very board (when it wasn't totally shit), and I thought that was it: an A/C cooled, pizze sliced drenched existence puntuated by trips to the gym and Gianna Micheals masturbatathon because fuck me the local women were not doing it or were doing it but were already in a relationship. Of course at some point things changed (some of it by my doing, some of it by life knocking at my door) and now things are different. Better? You know expectations change in every decade of your life so you'll never be "happy" but you'll come to understand that what you thought was pretty neat was small world with small amusements.

what's wrong with that l? the more people who like playing good games the better. it opens their eyes to all the dog shit slop they're being shoveled with "modern" games.

What a fucking dork. I'd kill for some zoomoid that had great taste like playing FFX, Sly Cooper or any fucking game from the heyday of gaming. Hell I'd include the good games from the 7th gen that weren't gun and ball garbage.

Why do losers care so much about gatekeeping and autistic generational wars that they fight younger people over having good taste? That just means you found someone to discuss vidya with that isn't a pleb ass drone.

Nigger baboon ape. They are literally made by our parental generation. Gen X made entirety of 5th and 6th gen games. You were 10 years old 26 years and physibly there couldn't be a millenial alive to be of working age until end of 6th gen.
>You don't understand them like we do.
While I thank your generation for the Flash era. You've forgotten it completely. Only Edmund McMillen remembers and the guy still kinda is a fag as a person in circles he's in.

Aside from that millennials are either slave workforce for DEIshit or only millennial indie achivements are Undertale and Lisa. Not the best look mate.
