Journos always sucked. In the 2000’s, they were edgy tryhards and in the 2010s, they decided to get all political. They always had no idea what they were talking about though and were always paid shills.
It’s funny because I remember people mocking the culture at the time. Largely coming from an angle of “I just want to play fricking video games rather than participate in this cringy BS”.
This right here. There were certainly excellent games (not that there aren't just as good of selection these days), but the whole "pandering to twelve year olds" culture was so ridiculously childish.
It was actually pandering to what was then the idea of maturity. That definition has changed. Back then sex and violence were what it meant to be mature, as it was a hard contrast made to the mostly kid-friendly Nintendo. Now it's about respecting womyn and trans rights, all that cuck shit.
It's still like that, just slightly different >Booth babes
Ero cosplay is mainstream in the west now, you've got booth babes at home >devs + journos acting like edgy 14-year-old boys
Look at how biased most gaming journos are and how hard they cry when they can't beat simple puzzles. The only real difference between then and now is that everything happens online.
>he doesn't like his women to look like men >he must be gay
why is this cope so intense in every thread with mannish women? it's worse than the fatgays
I mean, yeah, we get it man. you'd frick her. we'd all frick her. we'd all frick EVERYTHING. that doesn't mean she looks attractive. it means she has a hole to frick. shit I'd probably frick evans as well, but at least I wouldn't be in denial about that being gay as frick.
I am so happy I grew up and finished college before Facebook and Twitter. I graduated in 2005 and around that time, social media was in its infancy, with the most popular sites at the time being Friendster and MySpace.
I can't imagine being a dumb and foolish kid/teenager growing up in this age of social media and having all your frick-ups be eternally available online for all to see and can never be erased from the internet.
Kids have the right to make mistakes and screw up without that kind of a punishment haunting them forever.
i was born in '97 so i spent the majority of my childhood in the bliss of the 2000s but things started really going to shit during my adolescence.
you're lucky you had your best years before everything went to shit
I think what really turned things to shit was the Arab Spring.
Not the Arab Spring itself, but rather the fact that social media played a huge role in it. That was when people realized that social media (particularly Twitter) could be used as platforms for activism. Tons of people started desiring that same level of power and attention that activists in the Middle East got.
Twitter was always cancer, even in its infancy, but what tipped things over the edge and changed popular perceptions on Twitter and social media in general was that particular event.
twitter activists are literally nobodies.
the only reason why politicians listen to them is because their balls have dropped and they can't just send a death squad to twitter or facebook HQ and shut it down for whatever stupid reason.
They somehow think they can contain whiny crybabies by giving them free shit, without realizing that they will only ask for more and more.

This. I went through my teenage years as social media was beginning to become prevalent and I just didn’t participate in it. Most of the loner/outsider kids just didn’t have much of a social media presence at all unless it was under an pseudonym and they were blogging about vidya or anime or whatever else interested them.
Even now, you can easily spot the “weird” kid in a social group, since they’re usually far away from the crowd, with headphones in as they just wander around aimlessly. Bonus points if they say that they don’t like getting their picture taken.
I wish women were still skinny, every girl around has a big ass and that moronic bbl surgery. Even strippers have them, literary no skinny girls anymore.
I just want low rise back. Pulling your shorts up past your belly button so it holds in your fupa is not sexy and I don’t fricking understand why anyone thinks it is.
That's not a PS2.
That's a woman.

This was considered fat in the 90's. God damn we've gotten obese.
I miss the games, but I don't miss the culture. Booth babes and devs + journos acting like edgy 14-year-old boys was always annoying.

Speak for yourself motherfricker
Better then the moronic onions bois we have today
Hell I'd take the PS3 era even if the PS3 itself had no games.
It was sure as shit better than the woke era of today.

Why did the guys from that era look like trash? Seriously, they look like stoners.
The women looked like soulless bimbo sticks too.
Blame Nirvana. Looking like you were on heroin was considered cool.

Treadmill. Now.
They look so happy. All I feel is pain now
beep beep, coming thru

Early 2000s Jessica Biel was so fricking hot. A shame that she became way too much of a gymrat and lost all that beautiful softness.
is it difficult? being gay
You're proving his point though. She looks like shit there compared to when she was a soft, fluffy tit-monster.
All i've proven is that there are two homosexuals in this thread.
No he's right, she built too much muscle. Women look great toned with a little bit, not that much.
Gay begone

Well if the government won't do it, we gotta do it ourselves.

Go to a white country or Asia and you'll find plenty of assless sticks that have box bodies
Hourglass figures aren't as popular as pear figures now days due to media influence.
Pear figures aren't popular. The media pretending they are doesn't make it so.
