Windows 95 I miss you

>I was born this year
sup oldfags

I was a freshman in college.. for a short while I felt like life would be amazing.. unfortunately I missed the whole stock market bubble

I'm so fucking sick of these threads just becuase your now a 30 year old neet and long for the days you when you had potential, not just regrets. It's not to late dude go outside you can be better. Just try.. The 90s where fucking shit.

Proto feminists where hunting males in post secondary in the second wave

Naw, more like the wave up in degeneracy when the propaganda was a lot smoother and they weren't desperate to ram it all through when Drumf popped their crony out of power.

>I'm sick of these threads
good

Everybody has potential when they are young, and everybody (with as soul) has regrets when they are older

Fuck you. Jap posters are usually top tier, but you're retarded. The 90's were fucking epic golden age time. A 30 year old NEET in America in current time is fucked. Welcome to the NHK doesn't fucking happen. You get rekt and you're homeless.

It was pretty fucking great I have to admit. before 9/11.... before the dark times.

That's what I'm saying dumbass don't let your regrets be what defines you in the now. Quit idolising the past and turn your regrets into positive actions for the future.

Again go outside.

quakeworld was the fucking shit. i mustve been 9when i played too..TF_Fort2 or someshit was the best map ever

...

nothing has changed

>Jap posters are usually top tier, but you're retarded. The 90's were fucking epic golden age

Japan was going through a major crisis in the 90s so it's unsurprising they wouldn't have good memories.

The jap posters are 99.999% expats. Real japanese posters post on the sites Sup Forums is modeled after.

KYS English tutorfag

...

id say 1998

>1995 was 37 years ago

Least I went outside fag. How does it feel knowing the most interesting place you've been to is 2 states over?

Nah stuff started getting shitty in '96

2ch

2022
the last trips we ever get

For the past it was the 1950s. I think the age of American Caesarism is coming. I think the 2030 are going to be incredible

I'd say 87 was better.

>meme flag
i shouldn't respond, but I don't think 2030 will be too pleasant.. but that's just my opinion

Civilization peaked right before the 2008 crash

It absolutely was.

9/11 was definitely the death of the American aesthetic. Everytime I think of what being American is, it pre-dates anything past 9/11.

>After 9/11, we started entering Middle-Eastern countries, people started hating the military.
>People started hating the US Government.

>People started hating the election system with Bush(Then we know what happened with Trump).
>The idea of a first black president and the black president bringing up race relations as a main topic brought us the modern day "civil" rights movement.
>Our debt has gone up insanely.
>People are seriously doubting the American Dream.
>The USA PATRIOT act officially allowed government to spy on people and then Edward Snowden made people distrust the government more.
>Political polarization is at an all time high

Everytime I see footage of 9/11, i still shudder. Not because of the 3,000 people dying, but because of the American spirit dying. You still see some old souls wandering here and there, but the American has changed between 9/11 and now.

>1997
>>I was born this year
>sup oldfags

I was 21yo in 1997, suddenly you don't feel so old

We started entering middle eastern countries more***** before anyone calls me a retard

not really it was a blow-off top.. the next one (current) will be biblical

I had a set of those monitor speakers, they were pretty fucking awesome for the time.

How did she do that?

Cont.

As an American, I can firmly say that another fault of ours is the migrant crisis. Libya was a mistake. Our series of meddling in ME countries and causing countless civil wars(However, we were NOT alone) is awful. The US plays a large part in migrant crisis and if I could, I would go out of my way to go back and prevent it.

>American Caesarism
Huh? Like imperialism? Explain yourself user.

Peak of civilization was Japan in 1989: a cohesive nationalist people perfectly balanced between tradition and technological progress.

>t.used to play quakeworld
Yeah that was when the decline felt very real and everyone just became a massive faggot.

1998 was the year American culture died. To me, it was all downhill for a decade. 08 to today has been an odd pergutory. It's been nothing but stasis or decay. Tue Sept 11, 2001 and Tue Nov 8th 2016 were two of the only times it seems that significant changes seemed possible

Oh yeah baby

youtube.com/watch?v=mqFLXayD6e8

1998 was the last year of the cool stuff.
Remember in 1999 when hollywoood started their doomsday predictions in cinema.

Everything you have said is absolute truth. Nobody who is growing up after 9/11 is growing up in the same America we did. I was just starting my senior year then. The country has fundamentally changed.

They also began to reboot everything that we remembered fondly and began their cynical attempt to strip mine our entire culture for shekels. People stopped asking if you should, instead of if you could do something .

I blame Jacob Dylan and Oleander for 9/11

This was actually what I was doing back then. We called it a LAN party. Quake was a favorite of ours too . We also liked starcraft, descent, Duke Nukem 2, rise of the triad. Fun stuff.

>windows 95
>now windows 98 SE
son, i

As much as I use my phone and as much as I find it a distraction, I believe smart phones were the final blow to American Culture as well.

Nobody ever wants to go outside and talk to their fellow americans anymore. I go out and see none of my neighbors in a neighborhood that very well would've been populated with at least children over 10 years ago.

It's actually depressing sometimes because none of my old time friends ever wanna go anywhere anymore, they just wanna chat on the phone or smoke some weed. It's really fucking annoying.

Even worse is that now since its been about 10 years since smart phones come out and I've been so used to them, I don't even remember or know what I'd do socially without them, like if all phones were to be randomly gone, how would I interact with the world? I know that I may be the only one and that maybe I'm a loser for it but it doesn't make me feel any less bad.

Looks amazing still.. a city that is safe in every neighborhood helps

yeah - 9/11 on the TV definitely changed my life

>ICQ
>IRC
>Lan Games
>Video rental stores

those were damn good times

i killed myself on june 6 2008 and the entire world has been an hallucination since. i just want it to end but they wont turn off the machines.

Don't feel sad because it's over. Smile because it happened. I was born in 81' and 1990-1998 where pure magic.

>mfw playd nes ps1 and ps2 than switched to pc completely

I used to use one of those fucking old monitors only a couple years back

>LAN party
this was the shit man, we had so many of them. And at the end of the day, everyone had the same shit on his computer as everyone else. Basicly, it was a share party. Damn, all the cool stuff came from there, since lan partys are dead, the cool shit died too.

>loveletter.vbs
all of my nope

Why would you miss BSOD?

Only if we fail to fulfil our duty as men of this age

The 90's were actually better, people were outside more often to do their hobbies and community related stuff. There wasn't any of that SJW shit. Most entertainment from that era is also among the best.

retard

He’s saying he’s young & hello to us oldo’s

Nice

>where
90s was awesome. But only because you could be way more antisocial. Technology forced me out of the cities. Technology is making people fat and pathetic

No social media in the 90's. It was crazy expensive to have a cell phone so most people didn't have them which meant people got together with other people more and went out and did shit instead of just sitting around on facebook or texting others. The 90's were the end of the slope before tech took over people's lives. Social media makes it easier and in a way encourages people to cheat in relationships, Ashley Madison for example. Wish we could go back desu.

Dat gif

yes

It's so much easier to cheat. Maybe not in a large city but in places where social circles crossed enough to make anonymity nearly impossible, if you cheated, people had a hunch at least. You couldn't just scour the internet for other people towns away looking to cheat. You had to actually approach someone, and the chances were just as likely that they would reject you when they found out you were in a relationship to save their own reputation if anything and tell all of their friends.

How do you know it was getting like that everywhere? Some places the moral fell later

woah. deep user

Back when Facebook blew up the divorce rate skyrocketed like it never had in the past.

>1997
>be 16
>bit spergy, like fantasy and pc games
>want to get laid and socialise

Yeah, 1997 was great.

korean girl groups make the spice girls look like a bunch of dudes in drag

Have people gotten uglier? Even the "ugly" one from the spice girls is a dime piece compared to singers like Lorde and Ariana Grande. Sad!

whites need to build a new internet that only has pipes between white countries

Fug Geri had the best body but fucked it all up when she went anorexic
She made me nut furiously

>tfw she was my fave spice
>tfw she got old

>You used to call your friends house to see if they wanted to hang out
>You used to ride around the neighborhood to your usual hang out spot and run into your friends
>You used to talk to girls/woman without bullshit like texts messages and you'd be the only one to be given their attention.
>The internet used to be fun when all the lefty faggots and filthy fucking phoneposting assholes were kept from its reach.

That unabomber motherfucker was right, we unironically need to destroy facebook, instagram, snapchat and all the other shitty "social" media and make the internet unfriendly again; unironically speaking.

>anime web turnpike

you just made me feel all sort of feels

>pan faced gooks

The fact this has to be pointed out over and over again really brings into perspective how many fucking newfags we have.

all this proves is how deeply wall street has gotten their claws into politicians beginning with reagan.

I fucking hate it when people mumble. Like, just open your fucking mouth and speak clearly if youre going to try and communicate.

This right here

Oh God... 2030 is right in the middle of the Great Tribulation and the year that they roll out the Mark of the Beast. So no

korean girls are the pugs of the human race and pugs are the cutest dogs. whites are like the k9s of the human race. they are less cute than pugs

the one in the middle is chinese isn't she?

seolhyun wouldn't have a korean name if she were chinese

I fucking miss quake more than i miss any person from my life.

>pugs aren't k9s

pirate education

that's AOA? are you sure?

>Windows XP i miss you

Ha.

I used to send as many of the computers in the computer lab as I could to that website in high school and stick the headphones that were attached to them on the floor in the middle of all the computers so nobody could tell where that horrible sound was coming from
