I guess /crt/ was right, normies CAN tell the difference

That could have been way worse than just some crt faggotry

woah that sounds like something that totally happened

>>12530786
that looks like a smudged advMAME filtered pic you posted.

>>12530792
It did actually happen. My mom owned a ps1 when she was 20, with ff8. Now i'm 20 and i got a ps1, but her copy of ff8 that she gave me is missing disc 2, so i'm emulating for the time being.

you forgot this part

Calling bullshit. Send your mom a link to this thread and make her do an AMA

son i am disappoint

>>12530801
Your mom was not a normie if she was playing FFVIII at age 20 in 1999 lol
>>
>>12530786
>>12530980
not op, but back in the day 2003 a girl 16 or so in the building opposite me had a full tower hooked up to a big tv in her room and would download and watch anime every evening. Better days. She moved away though :(
>>
Which character was OP’s mom’s self insert when she was schlicking to Squall?
>>
>>12530980
Ff8 was normie tier back in the late 90s, you'd know if you were in your teens back then. It was fucking Twilight for teenage girls.
>>
>>12531016
Absolutely not.
>>
>>12531016
Why lie?
>>
>>12531080
He's kinda right. I was in middle school '00-'02. I only got into FF because the alt chicks I liked were obsessed with it. Turns out I liked the games more than they did.
>>
>>12531109
Girls liked Final Fantasy in the same way as the 'Earthbound is my favorite game, I can’t wait to play it!' meme.
>>
>>12530801
I'm gonna have sex with your mom
>>
>>12531285
Not from what I saw. These bitches were obsessed. We're talking 8th grade on dial-up, they were posting fanart on deviantart and they beat the games before I did, probably because I was obsessed with THPS at the time.
>>
>>12530786
I'll never forget when the playstation classic came out I went into best buy and they had one setup running demos on a 55" TV. I thought, "wow this looks like complete dogshit." Crts are a meme, it looked exactly how I remembered.
>>
>>12530980
She was. Very normal geek alt-girl game to play.

>>
>>12531470
Yes. Geeks and alts are still part of the normie class.
>>
>>12532096
Not in 1999.
>>
>>12530786
I had the opposite situation.
My mom saw the titlescreen for OoT on a CRT and was like "Wow, games look so realistic now!"
This was like, 4 years ago.

Is this the thread where we pretend that girls never played video games in the 90s because feminist zoomers who didn't live through it said so in order to fuel their retarded political grift podcasts?
>>
>>12532127
No, the argument is that normie girls weren’t playing Final Fantasy lol. 90s era alt-girls are a different story.
>>
>>12531016
>Ff8 was normie tier back in the late 90s, you'd know if you were in your teens back then. It was fucking Twilight for teenage girls.
Why do zoomers lie so fucking brazenly?
>>
>>12532165
I was 13 when ff8 came out and I only ever knew one girl who played it at the time, and she was kind of nerdy
>>
>>12532127
If 1 out of 300 girls played games, it's close enough to 0% that "girls never played video games" is correct.
>>
>>12530786
>1080p gen 5 prerendered backgrounds with no crt filter
imagine being this much of a fucking pleb. royale would make it look 3x nicer instantly.
>>
>>12530980
FF was extremely normie in the 90s man, that was the height of its cultural relevance. FFVII was one of the biggest games of the whole decade and VIII had a shit ton of hype coming out right after it. and it had a ton of appeal with girls with all its handsome moody MC and romantic story. Its not like today where the only people playing FF are sad desperate uncs still clinging to a long dead franchise.
>>
>>12532561
I have a hunch that you’re mainly thinking of Japanese girls when you say this.
>>
>>12532561
I was 15 in 1999 and I can assure you that none of the Stacies in my grade were talking about Squall or junction system strategies lol
>>
>>12532663
While all the women were salivating over zell and his hotdogs, the real men were playing triple triad
>>
>>12532561
Alt girls were listening Korn and watching Daria, not playing video games.
>>
>>12532106
1999 was when alts reached critical mass.
>>
>>12532539
Literally every girl I knew growing up played video games to some extent, especially ones who had brothers. I know it's technically anecdotal, but I genuinely think the idea of girls not playing video games during the 90s and 2000s is a severely overblown political talking point that doesn't match reality.
>>
>>12530792
>bro thinks people born 20 years ago don't age and don't have a mom
you're getting old, i'm getting old, we're all getting old. I've seen literal 8 year olds playing pokemon fire red for the first time this year and you think OPs mom doens't know FF8, you need to go outside.
>>
>>12533076
Not gonna lie, the thought of adult age anons having parents who were born in the late 70s or even early 80s is a bit of a shock to me.
>>
>>12533101
Especially because when 4chan first started in the early 00s, most anons would’ve had parents who were born in the 50s/60s.
>>
>>12533101
>>12533104
When teenagers talk about their parents and I realize their parents are my age it makes me want to crawl in a hole and die of old age. Even moreso when it makes me also realize that I'm now older than both of my parents were when I was born, and they already had 2 children before that.
>>
>>12533124
Yep. I’m 42 and I’m still in the mode of thinking people my age couldn’t possibly have teenagers. Maybe sixth graders max.
>>
>>12533148
At 42, your peers could reasonably have at least 1 college aged kid.

Let me see... Dewey decimal, Doctor Robert's Mermaid Musings? We've gotta be getting close! [Occult fan number one.] Yeah, bitch, there it is! That's how you start a game, goddamnit! Books in a library! Why did I not see it before? Wh. What're we talking about again?
I'm riding an electric bicycle into the sun with this playthrough into a monday funday way, I try to.
Should I play minmax winwhacks or just xionjaks?
Should I fight every enemy and keep the difficulty curve climb?
Should I run from or fight random encs?
Or fight everything like those basic uncs?
Only thyme will tell.
[stares off at the distance at absolutely nothing but pretending really hard to look "contemplative."]
