Do you guys miss the old days

[Dark Lucifer]

Because I'm sure I am

 

[DragonMals]

Yes but also no

 

[Waffles's iconWaffles]

Plenty.

Only thing is that neither my kids nor most of my friends were born back then, so it's definitely a blow.

 

[Lee__Kanker]

Oh to go back to 2005..

 

[Tonberry]

Not really, to be honest.
I guess I do miss when summers felt endless and you could run forever, but overall I'm pretty happy and content with living in the moment.

 

[RustySK]

Eh... my childhood was nice, but everything from highschool onwards was just plain awful for several decades in a variety of ways for me, so no - I'm glad I survived that the first time around, I don't need a second go at it.

The world at large do be going crazy right now though, so reversing that aspect would be alright with me.

Yeah I'm in the same boat, generally. I feel like I've only just recently started evolving past all the anxiety and shit that started during my high-school years over a decade ago (wasn't bullied or whatever just for context, I was just really sick long-term in various ways which kind of scarred me).

 

[Elwiwi]

I only miss the old Kanye


Seriously now , life was easier but being honest I don't miss them

I miss my high school, great teachers and friends, many fun nights; im still in touch with some of em!
Middle school was the shitty one

But I do sorely miss how the world was in 05, people (especially women) didnt met their brains on social media yet and you could still talk to people, and most young people werent socially inept
Not to mention the lovely analog tecnology and videogames still being good..

Sometimes. The feeling always disappears whenever I think about my school years.

 

[Stingy Perry]

Definitely it’s the main reason I became a retro gamer. Deep down there’s a part of me that’s yearning for nostalgia.

 

[CheelaCheela's icon]

idk honestly
i totally miss Y2K aesthetics and the Windows XP/Vista days and when the internet wasn't soo shitty corporate bullshit

BUT

is on the past, and we have no way to go back. Also there were shitty things there too. I want to go foward more than i want to go backwards honestly

 

[RageBurner]

There's good and bad in every time period, because there are humans in both the past and present. Nostalgia is mostly a form of self illusion, a magic spell of our own design.

 

[prnzo x BOOZE-o ka-BEER-o]

I have regrets but I feel they are necessary to be reminded of n build from.

I had a surreal-lvl life that must could never dream of but was mainly because of hyperactivity, hilarious boldness, persistence, n 'puttin myself out there. but would I wanna relive it? HELL NO too many tough phases n close shaves n learnin shit the hard way a zillion times over.

I love how it is now mostly n wanna keep pressing forward but my health is an increasingly uphill trek n ruins about 80% of what I would normally find joy or excitement with or try to accomplish. it does make me stronger n even more conventionally fearless but any triumph can prove empty af I've learned. always 2 sides to any coin - no matter how shiny the coin appears

 

[IyoTheHelpfulWolf]

My upbringing was strict and emotionally abusive. Fuck no I don't wanna go back! I have shit teenage me could only dream of and the freedom to use them, I'm reconnecting with the passions and talents that my upbringing almost killed, and I've been on fire ever since I've become a Twitch streamer! Those old games and media are still there to enjoy and I have friends to enjoy them with, especially after finding this wonderful forum. I'm grateful for what I have and I'm moving forward.

 

[Ikagura]

I miss when Mesopotamia was the economical center of humanity.

 

[FrayGuillermo]

I totally miss my highschool years, I believe I was at my peak in almost every way and since then all it's been is slow and steady decadence lmao oh well, at least i quit weed some years ago and I'm trying to get in shape and be in control of alcohol. Well, not everything is bad, on a creative level I've come a really long way though and I'm quite satisfied with my musical output

 

[ciro64]

I miss playing on the street.

 

[RageBurner]

I miss playing on the street.

At least the Streets of Rage are still out there (disclaimer: I don't own every street on the planet).

 

[Nidstang]

Everyday. I miss how culture was, especially music, video game, and internet culture was, in the 2000s. I miss when people could be a little edgy and offensive, and push boundaries and opposed censorship. I miss the Wild West internet.

And as a 31 year old, I miss having free time and seeing my friends and family more, like I was able to when I was younger

 

[Prism_Red]

I miss it, very much so, I'd say I have lived a fulfilling life up to this point with its ups and downs and experiencing crazy adventures people could only dream of, but I often wish I can go back to when I was 5.
Sure I didn't have many games then, my family was poor, but for some reason we were.... happier, I dunno.

[Jeff]

We all do. I really wish the 1980s-2005 had the endless 8 from Haruhi, so we can reset and fix the future.

I remember everything that brought joy, yet I miss them the most,
I remember the streets where I grew, yet I miss them the most,
I remember the distant memories I made, yet I miss them the most,
I remember the simpler times of growing up, yet I miss them the most,
I remember my friends who became distant, yet I miss them the most,

Yet here I stand here thinking of the present, what is the reason we all are here for, then a warm embrace of hope sparks the heart into a state of relief, that at least it all happened. For many, yet for some a blessing. I remember the past and say it many times, yet here here I stand. Blessed with another day.

P.S: I'm not that old enough to know life, just retro in words.

I felt a bittersweet profound introspective high tide wash in from these words. It was like a concession yet not an admission of defeat. Merely a view similar to I sans the token prnzo absurdities - every day we get that is even halfway dece is not drainin our pockets or bank account balances - in reciprocating, grateful return we should take nothing for granted as we're essentially playin with 'house money'
