How did you guys feel when early-mid 2000s culture concluded in 2006 and the last good generation of gaming(6th) ended? Sad? Bittersweet?

Most of the best games came from 97-99 tho

The 32/64 bit era of gaming is 99% trash. It's almost as hard to go back to as the late '70s/2600 era. None of that crap holds up at all unless you happened to be 12 while it was happening.

They're only remembered fondly because consolebabbies didn't have other FPS games.
