Playing on your phone in public doesn't make you look like an autistic manchild.
>inb4 but you look like one anyways xd

>>38395818
I don't understand people who play games on their phones. I just sit/stand around like a person if I'm waiting for something.

>>38395779
18 here.

Mobas are shit, but fps games can be good and I like overwatch.

Phones could be a good gaming platform since they're literally just handheld computers, but they got completely fucked by the free to play meme. The only gaming worth doing on them is emulating.

I've never been into any music other than music from games I play.

Social media is shit. I used to have a facebook but deleted it. I don't like being googleable.

I don't watch much anime so I don't have a strong opinion on it.

>Idk I turned 29 this year and I don't get kids and general trends nowadays.

lol, then you're not an old fart.

You're an old fart when you see the trends and kids repeating recycling your era fourty years later, and you recognize things from it.

You're still a fucking twenty something, lol. Knock it off with the 'kids these days' bullshit. *you're* still a kid.

Shooters were fun back when they were stuff like Half-Life 1 and Quake 2. The mistake was that now everything is either indie garbage or some way-overproduced AAA "cinematic experience" that's just as shit as the summer blockbusters it copies. There's no unpretentious everyman's shooters anymore.

Phones were always shit, even back when they had cords. one of the few developments I hope might come about is the death of voice calling. And especially voicemail, fuck voicemail.

music, eh, whatever. sturgeon's law.

social media is just exposing something that was always there, namely that most people are vapid attention whores who approach life exactly like high-school popularity contests.

anime, I don't care, as long as I get to watch cute girls doing cute things.

>>38395779

>Left vs Right
Back when I was young and in general people didn't use identity politics that often. Most everyone on this site and web generally were centrist with left leaning views on equality; bible thumpers and hillbillies were laughed these boards within seconds.

I get we used to "Shoot da WHOOP" and yell "DOUBLE NIGGER", but it was to be offensive more so than actual racist.


Nowadays you got crazy dudes claiming how they have to protect their white race and that alt-right was associated with 4chan esque fellows. /Pol/ appeared out of nowhere and pseudo intellectuals seem to flock to it. More and more people are being indoctrinated with these "red pills" it's a mess.

Also on the "left" these third wave weirdos appeared out of nowhere and think that everything is offensive. Back in my day, I thought right-wing fellows were the sensors who wanted to burn your pokemon cards and harry potter. I mean what's going on? I just don't get people

>New Vidya culture
I'm with you on Mobas and such, but i do like shooters with good single player.

>PHONES
Same hear, I really am not a fan of modern phones, i have no preferable use of them as i rather do all my stuff except calling and texting trough my computer.

>Music
While i share your dislike for most modern music trends and especially shitty down syndrome sounding rappers, there is still a point to make that pretty much all decades have had some form of annoying pop music, and the reason why it's not as annoying anymore is because it's not forced down your throats.

>Social Media
All i use is FB, and that i only use to chat with my family and friends. And never while i'm actually socializing with people in real life.

Yeah I am aware of the lgn shit show and all of the quick buck cash ins, but kids today will never know of the FOUR HEAVENLY KINGS of Square that completely eclipsed the shit....

>Seiken Densetsu 3 (played it via rom)
>Chrono Trigger
>Mario RPG
>Final Fantasy 6

Not to mention all the lovely Rpgs of the PS1 & PS2
>BBo3
>Arc the lad collection
>Lunar 1 &2
The list seemed almost endless, you don't see games of this calbur often and children won't find them unless they really look


>phones are also computer, you can make a phone call AND look at porn and play games and shitpost on 4chan.
I am usually at work or at home, I don't take the bus or any of that shit.
>there was shitty music in the 90s as well, but yes there was more rock music at least
It's not as in your face. Also 80's music was still prevalent.


>you're old enough to have been on myspace and MSN messenger to know that people did the exact same thing back then
It wasn't everyone, nowadays it seems like everybody and their grandmother.

>waifu animes also existed back in the day you just had to go Chinatown to get it and watch it in japanese.
I am aware, but the waifu dudes weren't in huge numbers like today and they hadn't sullied public opinion.

>>38395779
>new vidya culture
Same as all trends. Back when I was younger, we used to play with marbles, yu gi oh, Pokemon cards, etc. Whatever builds up continues to do that.
>Phones
Kinda the same thing, as technology expands/increases/develops into brand new stuff then everything else goes along with it. It would be like hating cars in the early 1900's, why get a car when everyone is used to walking everywhere/they're more of a luxury?
>music
Kinda hard to explain really, but I guess it just goes along with the trend idea. Popular children's shows, especially Disney movies, all began portraying more poppy/upbeat music. Like how Miley Cyrus blew up. Girls look up to women like her and follow whatever she does. Same thing with guys, they look up to rappers and want to live the lifestyle where your only worry is what bitch you're going to fuck right now, what drug you want to use, what car you want to drive, etc

>>38395779
>Social Media
Everyone is an attention whore. If you have Twitter, look up "Freddy amazin" or any other accounts like that. He is verified, and isn't funny at all. All he does is steal tweets from other people, and makes them look like they are his own. Everyone wants to flaunt their wealth, and get what they feel like they deserve. People do dumb shit I.e. "Do it for the vine!" (Even though it doesn't exist anymore) and it's practically all for attention, feeling wanted, belonging, etc.
>anime
that's fucking gay nigga
Nah sike I just never got into anime, so I can't explain it. It's mainly stereotypes, like you hear bronies and how cringey they are, so the consensus becomes bronies=gay=watching weird cartoons=weird cartoons=anime. Happens with most subcultures, most people see it as cringey as well when it becomes popular to hate it. Like how some kids used to impersonate naruto by doing the run he does? People believe that all people who watch anime or do something like that are weird. (Also, if you were a loser like me growing up, when/if it becomes popular to hate on something, the losers/cyborgs who want some attention/belonging begin to hate on it as well. All I do in life is play video games, but I don't like letting anyone know that, not even my parents. I go out like 2-4 times a week but most of the time I'm alone when I do that. In other words, don't be gay

PEOPLE ACTUALLY LOOK UP THEM? Holy shit!!
Nah, I never looked up to a musician.

Sux

if i wanted to know an old persons perspective, i wouldn't be a free-spirited youth of techno-present.

i have a question though: how long did your parents last until they died?

The Left went balls-deep into Identity Politics because the alternative is calling out bankers, executives, and the officials that enable them and it's just so much easier to cry white supremacy and misogyny than actually help the poor and working class.

I'm serious, Trump won by traveling to the rust belt and telling people he'll get them their jobs back and make things okay again while Clinton looked down on everybody who wasn't exactly like her and that the peons should kneed before her.

First time I've been on R9K in maybe two years now, and then it was just to laugh at how 50% or more of the threads started with Pepe. Completely legit OP.

I'm 22 this year and seriously dude. Everything is turning to shit, how could anybody listen to rap? Even ironically.

The moment you see (feat) labeled on anything you know it's shit and there's so much swill being spilled out that nobody shares similar interests anymore anyway. It's just another fucking indie artist.

Been playing games since age 3 and there's maybe one or two titles I'm even interested in being released per year, since 2013. Even then it tends to be rehashed trash that can barely hold my attention. Meanwhile the 90% are busy latching onto WoW which became shit at Cataclysm and unsalvageable after. Or XD latest shooter meme hhehehehehe, League which has been shit since S3 or DotA, same shit as forever.

Everybody has their own brand of turboautism, I mean who could actually find watching football interesting? You know, I look around me and can't think of a single person I actually find interesting anymore, unless they're literally insane. In fact what isn't just repetitive shit in one form or another? It's no wonder people can't find satisfaction and turn into worthless attention seekers.

Oh and phones are the worst meme out there, who gives a shit about specs or even playing games on phone, they're all trash other than maybe Kingdom Rush, you don't need to get a new phone if you're already able to call people and jerk off, you should have it until it breaks.

Everything in this world revolves around validation and the people that need it are weak repugnant plagueflies.


I'd like to say I feel better after ranting but everything is still shit due to people being shit. Also if anyone has that image of women joining a tabletop gamers group and how it ruins the group cohesion until the original members leave and everything loses its meaning please post.

Follow up.

Why do I never see people discussing how in fifty years from now there will be so much recorded content that it will be impossible to hold any common ground, people already show the signs of latching on to whatever is popular and/or new, and it's already getting to the point where it's often impossible to find things on search engines even when you clearly know what you're looking for, because there's so much shit that needs to be waded through. If you haven't personally archived it good fucking luck seeing it again chump.

Tfw the only things that will matter will be things like Doom, can you imagine 2-3 generations down the line when they have to do research to find what we have already process and filtered the shit from? Only the cult classics will ever be spoken of again, drowned in an endless sea.

I hear you

> Everything is turning to shit, how could anybody listen to rap?
80's rap was solid there were actual instruments being used not this synthetic bullshit and people actually had to know how to sing.


>Meanwhile the 90% are busy latching onto WoW which became shit at Cataclysm
Truth be told I have never EVER SEEN anyone play or talk about wow IRL, is it a developing nation thing or California thing? Everyone where I am plays consoles,

>Everybody has their own brand of turboautism, I mean who could actually find watching football interesting?
I one hundred percent hear that.

>You know, I look around me and can't think of a single person I actually find interesting anymore, unless they're literally insane.
Depends, in the digital artist community there are a plethora of interesting folks. "Normies" kinda suck.
>Tfw the only things that will matter will be things like Doom,
True only the iconic titles will be remembered.
