I like movies but I’m not an independent film nerd/ geek that knows stuff. I don’t check out for that stuff either. If a film blows up and it looks interesting then maybe I will check it out like



This movie was okay

Sorry for your loss.
 
I’m addicted to watching Food Reviews on youtube

It’s saturday
It’s raining
I’m shitting the lunch I had an hour ago
It’s go time (after the bathroom, back to food reviews)

Can’t watch food reviews while pooping, it’s just wrong

WTF is Blue Rare

I like steaks medium well to well done (fuck it, I’ll fight per chew)

I had some good medium steaks before, but I am scared
 
Marty should have let Pablo Escobar toss her out the window




The terrible CAC wife trope is was annoying to watch

My mother and my aunts (60 - 70 yers) still love THE TV. They do look at TikTok and IG, but there main entertainment is still The television and Radio.

My generation (30s - 40) it’s so much new stuff about every 5 years. TV, Radio, video games (way better games than pac man). My uncle and aunts had pac man, centipede, and space invaders. But we had Mario, Street fighter, TEKKEN, crash bandicoot. Just upgrade after upgrade

This was before the internet blew up and became stronger

From cassette tapes to CDs, then MP3s when I was leaving high school. My cousin had CD books when we would hange out. Also had CD small buckets with 100s of bootleg CDs. Kazzza and Bear Share was fucking up my computer, but I was getting those MP3s in the early/ mid 00s

My younger cousins (around 20s) besides video games, what new invention thing do they really have. Everything is streaming and the internet, they really don’t know life before WIFI. What’s crazy also is that they don’t have After school cartoon shows. They did watch cartoons, but by then it’s when we have 100s of channels and about 10 of them are for cartoons. All 10 of those channels are also back to back. We just had Nickelodeon and cartoon network, then of course afterschool cartoon and weekend cartoons. They don’t even have cartoon shows on the weekend on those old channels

My cousin will be 23 when wiz khalifa BLACK AND YELLOW came out she was 5 - 7 years old. When GTA 5 came out she was 10, lmfao.

Toys are gone

What really change is food, shit really don’t taste the same, it’s smaller, and cost even more

:-(


We losing recipes

What I find interesting is that my generation, GenX, had all of that and then some, but it seems we're overlooked in convos like this.

For gaming, most of us started on Atari Pong, then the Atari VCS (which we got in '79), which morphed into the 2600. But, as you mentioned your gen having, we also got the NES, so Super Mario, Zelda, and alladat was ours as well. I was playing Street Fighter II in the arcades in the spring of '91, right before coming home from college for winter semester. Those same upgrades you mentioned? We were playing them as well. But, as I mentioned elsewhere, while y'all were playing 4-player Goldeneye, I was playing 8 player Doom, then 16-64 player Quake before most of y'all even knew that online gaming even existed. By the time most of y'all were playing pvp online, I was already over a decade in and 3 generations of games deep playing online.

We started out on vinyl, then 8 track, then cassettes, CD, DAT, DCC, MiniDisc, and MP3's. I downloaded my first MP3 in '97 from M_nus Records and used a very early version of Winamp to play it on my 486. One of my boys put me on to Napster in the summer of '99, but I was already getting whole albums from XDCC downloads on IRC and from FTP sites.

You are probably 5 or 6 years older than me. Your generation definitely had th EARLY versions of stuff but it wasn’t as powerful or POPULAR. Your generation (maybe even your classmates) actually had Napster and all those early late 90s early 00s technology. That the government started making all the rules, but it wasn’t as popular. Now when my generation (and maybe my age) started to use the stuff, the government was putting out regulations and stuff.

I remember Quake and Doom but didn’t grow up on them. Yes I played Golden Eye 64 with my friends and neighbors growing up. I think when I was 11/12 we had a golden eye game day towards the last week of school (it was fun). Personally I grew up on more fighting games. I did not grow up in the arcades, but YOU MAY HAVE. You played street fighter before it came to home consoles. I only knew street fighter when it came home. Street fighter in 1991 I was 5, I was playing Mario NES.

Let me jump to the 00s, iPod came out, mp3 was growing, WiFi was slowly becoming popular. In the late 90s into the start of the 00s we still had dial up internet. Takes 5 hours to watch a 1 minute video…..GIMME DEM TITTIES lmfao!

I graduated high school in 2004
2005, iPods YouTube MySpace Ringtone rap

Dawg, I'm tellin' you: Everything you had, we had; we were just older. And that's the whole reason why I was on DWANGO playing 8 player Doom deathmatches before the N64 even dropped and two years before Goldeneye; that shit cost money every month to play online, my job payed for me to sit online for hours playing Doom. I had one-way broadband internet in '98. High speed downloads, 56K modem-based uploads but tight as hell for playing Quake/Quake2/Quake 3 Arena, Unreal/UT99, Tribes, Blood, and all those other games online. They switched me to full-blown broadband in early 2000.

By the time the iPod dropped in '01, I had already had an MP3 capable portable CD player and a Diamond Rio mp3 player plus I had installed a CD player in my ride that could playback MP3's from a CDR. I might still have one or two of those old CD's in storage.

I was on Myspace in '05 and was a producer in AZ complaining about the birth of ringtone rap along with the rest of the Phoenix/AZ hip hop community.
