Being a kid.

america was still 70% white.

Jerking off to pictures

just this

My state of Oregon had fewer Californians shitting up the place. Still too many, but now it's just ridiculous.

the patriotism from the Iraq War

JB threads

My sanity

no

Not knowing about Sup Forums and being blissfully bluepilled.

I could be a leftie without appearing to be a retard

the newness of pussy
campin in the woods before the mountain bikers took it over
playing basketball
wwe still being p good

I should add that Sup Forums used to be /new/ and Sup Forums didn't exist until 2003 and I didn't even get to Sup Forums until 2007 but you get the idea.

Bushisms

Hope

Yeah there were a couple a buildings that I fucking miss

the world trade centers

>wwe still being p good

Fucking this

I loved the Dudley Boyz back then, marked out when they returned last year but WWE is shit now so it's typical they turned them into jobbers.

...

A lot less normies on the Internet.

No smartphones.
No facebook/twitter.

Being a sheep.

the animations

Websites were less bloated

My dad. Would like to go back - would have done things differently

early 2000s internet

Irony was funny, goatse was shocking, and my uncle was a funny drunk instead of a sad drunk.

Like not spending 90% of your day on Sup Forums?

FPBP

:(

Adult swim and majoras mask

Invest heavily in Amazon for starters.

Mah nigga

Being a kid again and Pokemon still being relevant.
WWF/E being at its peak and fucking awesome compared to the dogshit it is now
Race relations not being as strained as they are now
The hundreds of dance rap songs that came out back then
Being super comfy and playing Super Mario Sunshine and Metroid Prime on the Gamecube

the airport not being a fucking hassle

playing local multiplayer on n64/gamecube with my friends. I don't think anything can top that

>pokemon still being relevant
the new games are literally the best selling ones ever dude.

Having to wait 20+ minutes to load and 8 second clip of animu porn

Thinking that my 9th grade gf pressing her tits against my bare chest was the tops

Someday, somehow, I hope you get a chance to make peace Aussie.
You know what's crazy? of every shitty decision I made Sup Forums is the only one I would probably still make. No matter what happens they can never take 2016 from me.

That's true, hell I even have a copy of Sun myself, but it just doesn't feel the same. Seems like after a week hype for the game died down rather quick, and the game itself is sparse as fuck. Clearly very rushed

This, a thousand times this.

>ywn play local PSO religiously with your 3 culdesac buddies every night after school again

i want to get into BB but the wifi im stealing is shit

in fairness thats true of all games these days

look at overmeme vs team fortress

or mgsV vs mgs2

we are living through tough times in that industry

can Trump make gaming great again?

i had fun with it. still playing a lot of it. but it might just remind me of home

I decided to place a restriction on myself to keep the experience going a bit longer this time. I force myself to catch and evolve every single pokemon that I can on an island before I move onto the next one. right now I have ~100 hours on the game and I'm still on the first island.

I'll be more specific and earlier and talk about 1997-2001

>pre 9/11 post cold war optimism
>NASA was still active
>pre consumerist internet, VR and AI were going to change the world
>rent and living expenses were cheap enough that young artists and musicians could still make a living, people went out to go to live music
>people were healthier but more mature
>cities weren't starbuck'd to death yet, local business flourished, eveywhere didn't have some shopping center called "La Centerra" or whatever and everything didn't look the same
>Gen X and Boomers weren't old and disillusioned just yet
>children weren't mostly doomed products of single minority mothers working shit jobs
>people still had accents and were proud of it, no pasteurized transatlantic "youtube dialect" yet
>cities and communities hosted cook outs, concerts, city-wide events, everyone knew their neighbor, immigrants were more likely to assimilate

Downloading a music video on Limewire only to find out it's some Russian dude being held by 3 other men waiting to get raped by a horse.

That's actually kind of creepy.

There is an entire generation of kids who only know post-9/11. They've had the American dream stolen from them. We will give this back to them over the next 8 years.

Nice post, but what the fuck is a Youtube Dialect?

Everything.

BUY SOME OF OUR ROMAN REIGNS MERCHANDISE GOY!

Why, so Vince can buy more condoms to use on his golden boy?

Watching the war on tv was pretty great.

End of college
Felt good to be done

yup

Pretty sure that's just standard Midwestern accent. News people always spoke like that.

Republicans are working to make all porn blocked unless you pay $20 to have it unblocked, it is only a precursor to blocking other things they don't want you to see. reuters.com/article/us-south-carolina-pornography-idUSKBN149251

Oh, I get what you're saying. That shit's everywhere now.

yeah, and its leaking into real life, I live in Texas and 7/10 of the young people here sound like that and have no drawl

I thought all the upper middle class Californians moved to Denver and Austin, TX?

WE

HOW DARE YOU INSULT THE ROMAN EMPIRE!

I miss being a kid without responsibilities and not having the thoughts of wanting to die everyday.

Texting started to blow up in 2002-2003.
Took off in 2004-ish when normal people started buying BlackBerrys. What I mean is, even if retina display iPhones were never invented, people would still be texting and group chatting all day.

>ROMIN RAINS

good vidya.

>tfw I barely even remember the early 2000's, due to my memory being a broken piece of shit

I saw Roman Reigns at a grocery store in Columbus yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

WWF was not good then

i miss george bush

i miss cheap gas, guns, ammo, and booze

Counter-Strike's golden era.

>Groknok! It appears that during the years 1995 through 2004 the Human spawnlings would sit in front of devices that blasted radiation into their faces for hours on end
>damn Fiznak, we better not visit these guys that's hardcore

Sonic adventure 2 and the early internet
Having friends too

Good times

I was watching a Banjo Kazooie speed run the other day and one of the developers called in to talk with the crowd during the run. He said that back in the day, if the game still needed work they could just tell the publishers to fuck off the game wasn't ready yet. Nowadays the publishers have the developers by the balls and force the devs to release games before they are ready all the time. They rely too much on the patching system to fix launch problems. Before the proliferation of broadband the game had to be in a good/stable state before releasing because there was no way to patch hundreds of thousands of cartridges.

1:16:00 if anyone is interested.

The aesthetic. the internet was new and only for 'nerds', there were places for people like us. Now that internet technology is ubiquitous and even the most illiterate of slackjawed monkeys can use it and are everywhere, it's ruined.

Half Life 3 Will be the Game to end all Games.

It's a Weapon of mass destruction to the games industry and everyone knows it has the nuclear capability of destroying anyone who dare tries to compete with it.

Gabe knows this. If you think about it, the ring in the parking lot is actually a missile silo, inside the missle silo is a rocket with 2 items in its war head. A Lamar stuffed plushie firing pin, and a button labeled "3". When they launch it into orbit i will transmit a signal as it revolves around the earth twice, that signal will force everyone to restart steam to see a glorious Half-Life 3 Trailer and simultaneously destroy the internet in 2 seconds. Russians have the EMP, but they aint got shit on the Bandwidth siphoning HL3.

FUCKING LOVED THIS GAME CUBE EXCLUSIVE!

>The aesthetic. the internet was new and only for 'nerds'

I disagree. AIM was popular as fuck and Mysapce became huge during this time frame. What you are talking about would adequately describe 94-99 IMO would more

No, not really

Maddox, WWE being good, playing Quake 2.

...

>wanting a texan drawl in your speech

WAS

Canada being white

No. People dressed like douchebags, music was all happy go lucky beachy shit like Sugar Ray and Smashmouth, our president was shit

Sunshine and prime , didnt have that much fun gaming since the first doom.

>Maddox
god damn shame

AIM and myspace weren't as interconnected as social media is today. If you didn't visit those, they didn't effect you. They didn't have the all-encompassing "Entertainment/social media platform" that we have these days, they were essentially IRC for normies. People didn't really use these things like they do today.

Holy fuck The New Day are STILL Tag Team champs? They have probably demolished Demolitions record by now. OK Vinny we get it MOVE THE FUCK ON

No smartphones, growing up was more creative
