That’s true. Zoomers can simply will themselves to enter parallel universes or any universe of their creation. They regularly go to Hogwarts and poo poo. I forget what they call it though, bc I am not a zoomer.

Zoomers are the first generation that will probably be fully willing to go Communist in large numbers for the first time in generations and therefore need to be protected at all costs.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

Turning 40 this year. Glad to have grown up going from C64 to the early internet, through mobile phones being a novelty to ubiquitous. Technological change has been rapid the entire 20th century, but going from "no one owns a computer" to "we all have a computer in our pockets" seems like a really unique event in human history we just happened to be around for.

its interesting how all the older generation refers to them all as computers and uses desktop ones etc, where as modern generation > going forward thats not really the case for personal use

I also cut my teeth on a Commodore 64, and came of age during the PC era. Now in my mid 40’s I no longer own a desktop computer. I use one at work occasionally for Excel, but everything else in my life I pretty much use my phone or tablets. I can completely see maybe not Gen Alpha, but definitely their children never touching a desktop machine, much less having to type into a keyboard.

C64 was rad af. I remember my uncle found boxes of diskettes - just had written names on them. He gave them to me (I was maybe 6 or 7) and in retrospect they were all cracked. They had logos with flashing lights that were announcing scene releases. It was cool to be exposed to piracy at such a young age and not even know what I was seeing.

My friend’s older brother also had a bunch of games. Both legit and copied/pirated. None of us knew what piracy was or anything, just that you could copy the disks. He gave me Bard’s Tale and I got way into it. Saved up myself for Bard’s Tale 2 and 3. I had a copy of Legacy of the Ancients that confused the gently caress out of me. The copy protection was cool too; like code wheels, codes on dark red paper that was supposed to not be able to go through a photocopier.

I remember one disk was something called GEOS. I was like wtf is this poo poo it isn’t a game. It was like pre-windows/classic Mac OS windowed file organization but without a hard drive - all off the floppy. Anyway, I dragged something into the trash can and never used it again. Whatever it was, they didn’t have anything to indicate to a six year old that if you drag that into the trash it fucks the whole program permanently. It was also pirated lol.

I’m so glad I had that c64 before I got an NES. So many fun games.

Ask me about my wealthy lifestyle and passive income! I love bragging about my wealth to my lessers! My opinions are more valid because I have more money than you! Stealing the fruits of the labor of the working class is okay, so long as you don't do it using crypto. More money = better than!
I'm 55. My first video game was Pong, hooked up to a black and white TV back in the 1970's.

I'm currently playing God of War Ragnarok.

Holy.

gently caress.

I don't think I had the pleasure.

We also had a Magnavox Odyssey with the screen overlays. Played those games on our black and white TV.

Still I remember when we got our first color television and an Atari 2600. It was absolutely mindblowing.

I just finished Horizon Forbidden West and am really enjoying Ragnarok.


It's absolutely crazy to actually watch technology change over five decades; I'll never forget our first microwave. It had dials for cooking times. I had no idea what the hell it was the first time I saw it in the kitchen.
