same, but I also get where that guy is coming from. 96 is more solidly proto-zoomer just going off of people I've met. people born in 94 or 95 definitely have more in common with millennials than zoomers, in any case.
>Unpopular opinion but I love the old dubs of anime and videogames of the late 80s-90s. 00s is where the dubs started becoming more stale and dry.
I completely agree, but I think we still get some pretty good English dubs every now and then. I see no reason to be picky and just listen to both dubs regardless of how old the show is.
With the 80s, you chalk it up to how absolutely out of control Japan's economy was and how they'd throw millions of dollars at anime productions(the budget for a single OVA during the golden age of OVAs was exponentially higher than your average 12 episode production these days). At the same time, there was also a lot of interest from American media companies in licensing these to throw onto home video or for television productions.
I think the major thing was that by the turn of the century, we see the move to higher capacity DVDs, so the production values of video games increases.
So while Goldeneye only communicates through text boxes, Perfect Dark has a few voice clips, and then Halo and Call of Duty have fully voiced and elaborate cutscenes.
Now, video games have more money to spend than slapdash anime dubbing jobs. So it's easy for an anime VA to move onto video games and make way more money. Then once they've gotten their foot in the door, get unionized, do union jobs which pay even fricking more, and then move onto AAA mocap work where you only have to work on one or two games a year, or one big game and do some readings.
The other half of it is with the move to streaming, the anime market worldwide is now all about simulcasting. A lot of anime viewers don't really care for dubs so there's even less prioritization. This ends up with a lot of anime simuldubs nowadays being filled with random anime youtube amateurs literally just recording them at home and sending them to HQ.
Back in the 80s and 90s you could recruit all kinds of people to do the dub work and they wouldn't just up and leave for a JRPG at the first opportunity.
That's just millennials dragging gen x into their shit. They were so rectal ravaged that they were a laughing stock Google suddenly "changed" the age bracket so that millennials were suddenly born in the mid to late 80s. The whole concept is a joke now and only moronic zoomers give a shit anymore.
The internet wasn't as accessible to the third world at this point in time, so seeing engrish wasn't as common as it is now. It was funnier back then because we weren't exposed/accustomed to it like we are now.
I don't think it did.
It was never, really, racially motivated.
It was part of the entertainment value, not a political statement on race.
The reaction to it and villainisation of those involved AS racists, in turn, had more of an impact on that progression.
Inconveniencing people in online games was really fricking funny. Especially in Second Life. >That in-game funeral in WoW that turned into a big PVP event
In 2003 when I was 11, I briefly thought All Your Base was real and that there really were mysterious messages being transmitted all over the world. I fricking miss just stumbling across stuff on the web as a kid.
That concept doesn't exist anymore thanks to Google, and there's seemingly no way to ever bring it back.
I still don't get how the final weapon upgrade drop works. The usual claim is that it's by keeping the bomb until another bomb upgrade would drop, but that doesn't work. I suspect it's just random.
Where now are the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing?
Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing?
Where is the harp on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing?
Where is the spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing?
They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow;
The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow.
Who shall gather the smoke of the deadwood burning,
Or behold the flowing years from the Sea returning?
>millennials
gen x
the oldest millennials were 19 in 2000 and are in their 40s now
>Silents dying off in 2015
I'm calling bullshit. Some of those frickers are still in Congress and one is a goddamn president right now.
so do you not know what life expectancy is?
They are the walking dead. The lights are on but no one is home.
>mfw my silent generation grandpa died in 2015
They are sturdy motherfrickers. My grandpa is 86 and still playing tennis every week.
>the last baby boomer will die in your lifetime
not if i kill you first
Man I already feel like including 1994 in millennials is egregious, someone born in 96 would've been 5 when 9/11 occurred, the frick.
'92-'96 I count as proto-zoomers.
Unpopular opinion but I love the old dubs of anime and videogames of the late 80s-90s. 00s is where the dubs started becoming more stale and dry.
I was born in '95 and have nothing in common with zoomers

>every generation has a roughly 15 year span of birth years
>NOOOO IT'S A FRICKING GOOGLE PSYOP
I'm a millennial
I was like 15 when this came out
wish i could go back

This, now we can laugh at monkeys like the OP all the time.
this guy are sick
We get signal

no, the reaction to it did though

>meme aged like a fine wine
>16 years ago
>16 years ago
the meme is from 2000, Anon. That's 23 years ago...
It just made this one laugh in 2023. They set us up the bomb! Lol.
Any of you guys actually play Zero Wing? It’s okay.
I beat it because I wanted to see if it had more Engrish at the end. Instead some teddy bears come out and say "congratulations" or some shit.
CONGRATULATION !!
I still don't get how the final weapon upgrade drop works. The usual claim is that it's by keeping the bomb until another bomb upgrade would drop, but that doesn't work. I suspect it's just random.
Played it via Switch Online's exscamsion pack.
It's fine, but you can tell the main people who played it were primarily there for the intro.
>pc engine port has a fully voice cutscenes
Kino
If he said “All your based” zoomers would go apeshit.
FOR GREAT JUSTICE I hope the M2 collections are still happening
All your base, This is Sparta and They are taking the hobbits to Isengard are the early 2000s holy trinity
take off every zig
don't you have a wall of text to write on your favorite vtuber's discord vent channel, anon?
it was a simpler time
ran ran ruuuuuuu
I spam that in chat and zoomers get unironically mad
All your base belonged to us, I was the man now, dog, we pwned n00bs and it was beautiful and social media killed it.
I wish time stopped in the 2000s. I'm 19 and I feel like a certain charm of the internet was lost during "my" time
? This is a gen x meme, dipshit. And no one actually laughed, either. They just thought it was quirky.
This fricking board
If you don't remember LegendaryFrog, you can frick right off and go die.
My buddy and I still describe various weapons as "Y2K compatible"
