I have two answers for you.
1: I have acne I’m too old for and gray hairs I’m too young for.
2: I have the depression of a millennial and the uninhibited madness of a zoomer.
My mum tried to ban me from watching South Park before South Park made fun of exactly that.
I wasn’t banned from watching South Park when it started. Even my 3 -year-old at the time brother was allowed to watch it with me. But I was banned from watching Ren and Stimpy several years earlier which disappointed me at the time but in hindsight I support wholeheartedly.
Can vaguely remember the Berlin Wall falling. All the adults seemed to think it was really important.
I clearly remember it, I think you might be my little brother’s age.
Maaaaan somebody reminded me this existed last week and I had to bust these out and give em a spin
Real talk, if you have young kids and DosBox or something, soooo many of those old games hold up.
Mine loved the OG Carmen San Diego games, though there were a couple short history lessons to understand some parts. Didn’t quite clue into the ‘use the dossier* to determine matches for warrants without a time penalty’ trick that earned me a pizza party back in the day, lol.
*I don’t remember what it’s called, the file with all of the VILE agents
I have been born
I haven’t died yet
I’d guess you’re at least 7 years old.
That’s correct! Now excuse me, mum says I better get up or be late.
I have a child old enough to vote
In which god forsaken country are voting rights dependent on children’s age?
Uh, most of the countries I know you need to be an adult to vote aka 18.
(I am aware, it’s the same here - I was just making a joke by splitting up the sentence differently)
Uhm…
This was my first console
Pong, right?
Yep. And a bunch of other games like hockey and what not
Well, that beats my 2600.
If it helps this was my second one…
(a sears 2600 clone)
I remember Y2K
I worked on preventing it.
thanks
I remember the fuck-it-do-all-the-drugs NYE parties…
Watching for planes falling out of the skies.
I saw star wars at the cinema when it was first released
I envy you.
How was it?
I didn’t really understand it. I was about eight I think.
Same! But I was four. And I went to the theater without my parents. Just some neighborhood girl rode me there on her bicycle handlebars. True story.
Edit for afterthought: I still don’t understand Star Wars. (Does ANYONE?)
I was 6, didn’t give a shit. Later became a huge fan.
I used to type Load “”
LOAD “BLAH” ,8 ,1. Just kidding, I only has a cassette drive. :(
Did you learn to splice with a razor blade and scotch tape?
Currently there are about 8.2 billion people on earth. When I was born it was just under 3 billion.
I was at 3.7 billion. I could rant all night, but so many of our problems are from explosive population growth. Humans never developed political and social systems to deal with it, and we sure as hell didn’t evolve for it.
I did my part! No kids.
I got my 2, which is a statistical net loss.
Tiny me’s first computer game ever played:
Fraggle Rock
your bottle of ibuprofen in your bag is getting low, you better refill it with the big bottle from the kitchen cabinet before tomorrow.
Be kind rewind
Before I went to college, going to Blockbuster was its own activity
I think we used to switch to channel 3 to play video games and movies.
Waiting for your favourite song to be played on the radio and pressing record and pause on the cassette recorder at the exact right time. Massive feelings of win.
