It kinda is happening to me. I was under the impression that kinda shit takes place when you are 50 or older.

Mostly I just see a sissified sterile generation afraid of its own shadow afraid of... everything including dissenting opinions and/or views. This is what angers me the most.

But we are living an age of degeneracy and ever evolving technology so I guess being with it only last a couple of years instead of a generation?

Whatever I kinda don't care.

It started when I started a new job with a bunch of guys fresh out of college. I'm 29. These guys were 22-24.

I look at vidya and comics and I realize yes. The things I grew up loving have changed so fundamentally as to be recognizable. It really hit home when the FF7 remake trailer came out and it looked like an action RPG and will be episodic.

Turned 30 recently. It's happened to me in some ways, but the ways it hasn't are even worse.

I dunno; looking back, my mother occasionally tried following some parenting trends like "don't watch/read/play this you're too young for it" as leading Authority of the day said it was the right thing to do, but as she never really believed in the concepts herself, it was pretty half-hearted. Once I was able to clearly articulate that I could tell fantasy from reality that all stopped. I guess she was an exception and not the norm? No one else in my age/peer group does any of this stupid shit.

Most millennials are the children of Generation X parents. Not the "hip" GenX who were all cool young adults in the '90s but the ones that were born during the 1960s, came of age as adults in the 1980s and then started having children either in the '80s or '90s. They're the ones who pussified the current generations immensely and then it's going to continue as millennials are becoming parents to Generation Z or whatever the fuck we're on now.

The Boomers suck, sure, but all they did was protest and/or fight in Vietnam, do a lot of drugs, then sell out all of their beliefs in the '80s for money and doing a lot of drugs.
>>
No. because i was never with whatever it was that it was.

Happened. I like it. First of all being 100% oblivious to twitter/tumblr/My Internet Persona stuff is really comfy.

I take things slowly when it comes to media and am basically immune to good or bad hype. Catching up to things late lets you watch everything in a binge instead of waiting for episode by episode. Did all of Breaking Bad a year after release, watch Adventure Time a season at a time instead of weekly, etc.

And there's kind of a really weird jaded, cynical elitism fans have these days about things. Like I finally tried Dark Souls 1 in December. Loved it, beat it, got DS2 at the end of the Steam Sale, loved it, beat it. Looking forward to DS3 on release day with a bro.

But half the regular threads and vet players I see talk about it have colossal hate boners because they've beaten the game 10 times over and they can't unsee the flaws. And I'm just over here like "yay, what fun. can't wait for April." It's rare for me to hit something on opening day and even if I didn't plan to, no big deal. Too much work and life. Hell, something like a long RPG takes 3-4 weeks to clear as the only entertainment option I have!

Lets Play

You watch a video of somebody else playing a video game.

Now I can sort of understand using a LP as a sort of demo for a game. Or to see how to weather a part that completely ruins and confuses you. Or even just to see somebody play and clear a super esoteric game that you'd otherwise never play.

But nah man. There are large numbers of millennials(and older) who will watch somebody play a videogame from start to finish. That's it. They don't know the guy. They can't really interact with them. They don't even want to play the game themselves. They watch other people play it. And for a lot of them... the appeal is to pretend the personality is their friend or some shit. Not so bad on Lps, but then you go to video game streamers...

So you have people who LP video games that never fucking end(DOTA 2, League of Legends, MMORPGS, Hearthstone, etc) and you can watch them play that and they have people donate them money for it. For playing a game. And sometimes they donate extra money because the streamer will read out something you ask them to or address and thank you on their stream! SO PEOPLE DONATE MORE AND COMPETE TO BE RECOGNIZED THE MOST BY THEIR IMAGINARY FRIEND AND AAAAAAAAAAAAA

Like Jesus Christ P.T. Barnum's corpse hasn't stopped laughing for years.

I prefer the Game Grumps when it comes to let's plays for those reasons. No bullshit, they just play games and talk. The banter between Arin and Danny is comedy fucking gold. I don't even care about the game, and neither do they. It's just something to do while trading jokes and stories.

I know I'm not with it when I see "meme" used as an adjective if some /v/ crossposter doesn't like something.
>>79115926
It is waifu faggotry and it's pretty generic. Watched it without knowing anything about it cause a friend said she wanted me to watch it with her.

The show just looks unfinished and is in need of some shading. Don't even know why there's a general dedicated to it.

Ctrl+Alt+Del was an humor comic.
It was mediocre even by its time but people hung on it.
The authour made an unexpected strip about one of the dudes gf having a miscarriage.
Nobody liked it, people jumped the shark and the meme was born.

The joke is not miscarriage itself but tim buckley.

Meme as an adjective started on /mu/ I believe, in reference to rappers.

/sp/ is almost unbearable cause everything is a meme player, team, strategy, post, etc.

I saw a few of the previews for it a long time ago when RT was just starting to make it, and it looked so generic I couldn't be bothered. It was like, "oh hey, this is literally every anime ever", and I moved on.

There are a lot of really subpar shows/series that have massive fanbases for no reason. It still baffles me how Sonic has such a massive fandom despite not having a decent game, not even a good one - a decent one - since the nineties. The horse cartoon is just as baffling to me.

They're both pretty fucking cancer. I don't mind the 4chan memes themselves so much as the fact that people post them so much it becomes a broken record. Honestly, 4chan putting the twitter nigger memes on the filter probably made it worse since it made those dumbasses realize that they were getting under peoples' skin with it.

Having a discussion without spamming memes like a fucking moron must be hard for younger people. That's all I can think of.

>>
>>79116711
some frames of animation in skullgirls were changed to less blatantly show the pantsu of the girls

people upset about it were saying it was censorship in an attempt to win favour for the, at the time, floundering kickstarter for Indivisble by way of the progressive journalism entwined with video games

people who weren't were saying that the frames illogically shortened the girls' skirts and that their pantsu shouldn't be showing. they also said that the game still had plenty of fanservice that wasn't removed

I'm not picking sides here, that's just what happened
>>
>>79116711
They removed some panty shots from certain character animations.

Different guy here, but I don't even think censorship is the issue with that. The issue is that the devs are being disingenuous. One of Skullgirls' selling points was being the "sexy 2D girl fightan game," so if you remove the sexy, what's the damn point? You can't just pretend that shit wasn't part of the design doc from day 1.

If they were getting shit about it, they should have just pulled the Takaki/Kamitani card. Life and hometown, motherfucker.
>>
>>79116765
I do too. It's not the "seekrit club" aspect of it, I just don't like how prolific they're becoming. People spam this shit everywhere now like they think it's cool when it just makes everyone look like a fucking retard.

Shitposting was never a 4chan exclusive thing though, sadly. I don't know when or what happened but lately everyone on the internet tries to act like shitposting is what you're supposed to do now instead of just being adults and talking about things or ignoring them if you don't like them.

In terms of what's popular and most current events, it happened by the time I was 24 or 25, so 4 or 5 years ago. I hate everything in the modern age -- the movies, the cartoons, the music, the news, etc. I wish the '90s never ended and 9/11 never happened. I'm too out of touch with this world and anything of worth that I could've done would've only been possible if the last 15 years never happened.

iPhones are fucking awful to actually use, which is surprising since they're supposed to be made by the company who jacks off to how user-friendly their shit is.

The stark reality of having to keep up with all the apps ( kik, sc, etc.) has me exhausted, the slang is beginning to sound stupid to me, plus the differences in day to day experiences with both of them has me questioning my sanity to the point of constantly asking myself, what's the point?

A lot of 4chan seems alien to me now. I think the only reason I still come here is force of habit and the fact that every other message board/forum is even worse. Black People Twitter speak is everywhere, website wars, "Wow that meme was literally reddit: the post" and ironic shitposting in general, meme as an adjective, and the general shift away from discussion being the goal and towards shitposting and "funny" jokes being the goal. It's a poisonous mindset, and it hurts the actual discussions. Priorities are all messed up. People should go to an image board about [subject] to discuss [subject] instead of trading stupid jokes with a vague air of [subject] lingering in the distance. What's worse is that I find a lot of people will start a thread that's just pretending to be on-topic when in reality they just want to make jokes and trade memes/reaction images. See: Mario 64 threads on /v/ in the last 24 hours.

Some boards are worse than others, but this attitude really underlies the whole of 4chan to some degree, and I really don't get it.

Also, because i really hate asking anyone on a date and it's usually just younger chicks who are more direct in being interested in me. So i tend to learn about new stuff through them and their friends.

Also also, seems most older chicks are taken anyway.

It's the same appeal as like, Mystery Science Theatre, or at least it was. It's entertaining commentary.

Though I admit things have shifted and I'm much more out of touch with LPers than I was. I think it was the switch from edited YouTube playthroughs being the norm to this twitch, livestreaming stuff, which gets disturbingly close to camgirl stuff (including some actual overlap there). The LP stuff I watched the most of was HellFire Comms, and it was with it's increased focus on streaming that I eventually ended up getting out of touch with the whole thing. Back when in the justintv days I was actually really into the livestream, I ended up becoming a moderator and still have NTom64 and most of the other HFC members and mods on skype, but I dunno, it was around the point where it switched to Twitch that things just got... different. Like I said, it feels like camgirl stuff to me now.

you're kind of young to kind f grasp something like undertale. Undertale is far from the best thing ever and it definitely has it's flaws. but much like earthbound or Killer 7, it's one of those things where you know you'll never play anything like it ever again.

It plays with the video game medium like not many other games do.

>>79120138
>I'm thirty and yes. Music's changed, 4 Chan's changed.

yes and no. Music has changed, but it's still the same. The top charts are still easily digestible repetitive pop songs (have been for decades), thouugh not exclusive to 4chan, people have always been shit heads on the internet spouting memes

in fact the Smashing pumpkins were on of the first internet memes with this song, see if you can figure out why.

Depends on the LP's. People like Purge who play dota two not only show higher level games he also teaches people how to be better at the game, be it different heros, how to ward, how to itemize and so on and so forth.

Maximillian dood does the same with fighting games.

Some LP'ers are just fun to watch because they're good at cracking jokes during game play or find silly obscure games.

The heart of it though is making a community and getting to be a part of it. it's more than just :watch guy play game"

See, this I'm the opposite.

Now, I don't absolutely love either. I appreciate and like both, but I recognize that they both, particularly steven universe, have their flaws, and certainly don't associate with the fanbase of either.

But far more than any sort of personal like of them, I just have to appreciate how impressive they are. How much heart and soul and passion and love for their mediums put into them. Ambition and skill in storytelling that's incredibly rare to see. I genuinely cannot fathom how someone could honestly not appreciate either as good. Not personally enjoy sure, but I truly don't get how someone couldn't see the value in either of them, or honestly think them bad. I really really don't.

That's because they got the bantz. LPs are a fantastic vehicle for banter between two or three people. The Giantbomb crew has been doing what are essentially LPs for years, and they're entertaining as fuck. Gamegrumps are funny and got dat hot bantz.

But then you've got people like PewDiePie and all his rip offs that DON'T have bantz. It's just one dude screaming at a screen. How is that entertaining? How can people enjoy LPers that are solo acts?
