Pretty goddamn lame, the stuff is all cool but something about surrounding yourself in it on this level comes off as depressing, especially when you see that only one controller is plugged in.
>those printed labels on the edges of the N64 cartridges
Nostalgia broken.
Nobody's childhood room looked like a video store and nobody played video games in front of a video store counter with pizza spread everywhere.
What is this image supposed to mean besides "old things"?
I want to be charitable and say whoever made that setup was going for an amalgamation of things that they especially missed. A trip to the video rental store used to be a weekly ritual for myself and a lot of other people in the nineties. Sometimes you got space limitations to deal with and it seems obvious whoever made that didn't want to pick and choose.
The nostalgia is the longing to be like a child again and not have any cares, responsibilities or any thoughts of the future, just having fun in the present.
>bunch of plastic corporate products sprawled everywhere >heh, yeah, my childhood was so good we must return these kids these days will never understand....

I think the appeal of this scenario is entirely rooted in the availability of media at the time. Spending the night in a video store like that would be awesome because you'd have so much shit to watch and play at your finger tips. Now it just comes off as crass and materialistic because of how unnecessary it is.
As a kid, being limited in what I could access felt like torture. As an adult in a world where almost anything can be had quickly and without cost, I see the appeal in some limitation.
>Nobody's childhood room looked like a video store
I don't think that photo was intending to look like someone's bedroom. It's literally a video store. Look at the carpet.
i'm kinda glad physical media is dead and all my games are on a tiny ssd now. it's just more convenient and less cluttered. i used to think big physical media collections were cool, now they just seem like bullshit, a bit sad even. i have a decent switch collection and I feel like modding it and dumping all the roms just because i prefer everything to be on my computer at this point.
Even at sleepovers I never ate all of that shit.
It was usually just a few pieces of pizza or a home cooked meal.
Why the frick do nostalgia pictures always go way off the deep end?
Same here brother. Things aren't so bad and there's plenty of things to enjoy, but I wish I could relive my peak gaming years with friends.
hey, hey guys hey. Remember when your generation was telling us oldfricks that we have nostalgia goggles or "rose tinted glasses". Now its your turn to have gaming taken from you for a younger generation.
>ugh why aren't zoomers playing movie games and visual novels like we did!
Zoomers have played the same three or four games since childhood interspersed with FOTMs. We have men in their mid twenties playing Roblox because they did so in 2011.
> Now its your turn to have gaming taken from you for a younger generation
What's being taken exactly? I'm still enjoying a lot of modern games, I'm just nostalgic for the simpler times when I didn't have responsibilities and could play games with friends whenever I wanted.
These picture's are always so sad for me, I can't stop to imagine the guy putting up all the stuff for display for the sole purpose of taking a picture.
Just imagine ordering a pizza, not even eating it and then putting it on the floor for a picture like this.
Imagine the mindset when the guy that took the pictured ordered his food and bought stuff just to be seen in the picture, the time and effort it took to rearrange everything.... and then the moment after he took the picture he just put back all that shit in the closet to never be seen again and throws away the pizza.
Lot of assumptions you just made. The same could be said about literally any performative art. Family sits down for dinner in a movie? "Oh, they probably threw it all out, so wasteful!". Do you have any idea how much food material gets trashed by restaurants on the daily anyway? Besides that, we don't know that the image isn't just some 90s nostalgia shrine that somebody just has at their house, and we don't know that the photographer didn't just immediately eat the food with his friends after the photo was taken. All I'm saying is chill the frick out. You're letting your own assumptions (about an already trivial idea) make you upset.
>I can't stop to imagine the guy putting up all the stuff for display for the sole purpose of taking a picture.
that's probably exactly what happened here. it's a recreation of a video store someone built in their basement. he sells those VHS tapes online, and seems to like collecting old nostalgic stuff. it's entirely possible that's an old nostalgic pizza box, perhaps with pizza hut's old logo on it, and the pizza inside of it is fake.

>1E Charizard anywhere a plate of spaghetti
Impressive. Very nice. Let's see Paul Allen's India version
>spaghetti nearly on top of your rare pokemans
This world is a mistake
What the frick who eats spaghetti with a fork?
You use a spoon? no wait, you use your hands?
Yes.
You... fricking Italian....
>the Florida governor eats pudding cups with his fingers only
Why are Italians like this?

I hate images like this. Nobody ever had a room that looked like this.
Bought an used CRT recently
Now I think maybe I shouldnt have
Pretty cozy but the open area is way too small. Though I do like the vhs store aesthetic.
You make fun of consumerism and call it degenerate and then post this shit.
I too make sweeping generalizations with impossible to verify claims about anonymous posters from all over the world with wildly divergent opinions.
Change begins at home
Forcing it will never work. The kid has to grow up with shit so he can identify with his peers.
>bunch of plastic corporate products sprawled everywhere
>heh, yeah, my childhood was so good we must return these kids these days will never understand....
videogames will never be a real hobby
>that modern warheads bag
Nobody's childhood room looked like a video store and nobody played video games in front of a video store counter with pizza spread everywhere.
What is this image supposed to mean besides "old things"?
My room looked just like this, cope
No it didn't
because whoever took this photo was someone born after the 1990s lol
A female born in the 2000s to be exact. They're real bad about rolling hard for things they don't get.

That same night Mom sucks me and my friend's dicks one at a time.
I wouldn't eat that shit even if my body were an infinite stem cell factory
*sips milk thistle tea*
looks like a pedo's den

Whoever is taking it is trying to cram an entire childhood's worth of experiences into a single moment.
Does anyone have one image of that doctor or whatever he is talking about this type of stuff on twitter?
I'm interested. More and more I'm interested in psychology any figuring out why people are the way they are. Nobody's gaming room looks like this.
Horrible gamerfuel half of that stuff will stain your fingers in seconds
I turn 29 this year
I really can't believe I'm saying this, but I miss 2007 like you wouldn't believe.
Same here brother. Things aren't so bad and there's plenty of things to enjoy, but I wish I could relive my peak gaming years with friends.
>Things aren't so bad
they're really fricking bad actually

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
In five years you went from F Zero to Gran Turismo. In five years zoomers went from Fortnite to Fortnite
>those gosh darn zoomers only play Fortnite
>OH MY SCIENCE A NEW POKEMON GAME!!!
those two shits are the ugliest legendaries ever man
Zoomers have played the same three or four games since childhood interspersed with FOTMs. We have men in their mid twenties playing Roblox because they did so in 2011.
And how is that different from men in their 40s being obsessed with Pokemon, Harry Potter, Disney, Star Wars and capeshit?
>ugh why aren't zoomers playing movie games and visual novels like we did!
> Now its your turn to have gaming taken from you for a younger generation
What's being taken exactly? I'm still enjoying a lot of modern games, I'm just nostalgic for the simpler times when I didn't have responsibilities and could play games with friends whenever I wanted.
>gaming taken from you
They can have it lmao no one with a shred of taste WANTS the state of modern gaming
This is no different than your current neet life, depressing as frick.
>no naked women
>no drugs
gay

>go to blockbuster
