Yeah, it's kind of shot. I miss the days where we played King of the Hill on Street Fighter 2 or Street Fighter Alpha 3, playing until somebody wiped the floor with your chit.

I think it's part of the reason why yesterday's youth was in such good shape; we were always biking, walking, or physically moving ourselves somewhere to interact with others.

Couldn't relate.
Didn't have a pool, lived in the city, bike would've gotten stolen, dad was an alcoholic, school was so bad some students smuggled guns, had tons to worry about.

Man, childhood was ****ing garbage.
On the other hand, I went to 3 house parties last month and fuked 5 different chicks.
I also have a monster pc that can play any video game on ultra settings.

No thanks Jeff, keep your childhood, I'd rather be an adult.

Some children are robbed of their childhood, and its tragic. But for 99.99% of people, the innocence, freedom, and lack of "stuff to stress about" is something no one will ever get back after a certain age.
Are you not entertained?

I'm really sorry to hear that, brah. But glad to hear you're making the best of your adult life despite. It's really awful when someone is robbed of having a pleasant childhood.

It is the year 1999.

Your buddies and you are chillin, just shooting the breeze during lunch. When one of them pull out a magazine from their backpack.

"Hey is that the latest Electronic Gaming Monthly?"
"Aw brah you got the new Sports Illustrated?"
"Is that a new Magic Gathering guide book or something?"




"Wha - what is this?" you all reply, as a new dawn emerges and your definition of the millennium comes to an official close.

I consider myself really fortunate that I had a really loving, attentive mother. I remember staying home from school because I wasn't feeling well and taking a walk down to the video store with her where she'd buy me a pack of Pokemon cards and rent me an N64 game.

lol speaking of Pokémon (the og gameboy games we’re great btw)
We were at Barnes and nobles and this dude had a jewel scale and was weighing every pack of Pokémon cards they had
My step dad asked what he was doing and he explained that the packs with a holographic card weighed more and gave me a pack that he said would have a holographic card in it.
Turned out he was absolutely correct so from then on they got me a weight watchers scale and I started weighing the decks before picking out which ones I’d buy.

I'm going to try this out. I actually have a few packs that are open, but I left the cards inside for fun. I'll weigh a pack with and without a holo.

I'm not sure those cards are actually worth anything anymore. I distinctly remember going to the mall as a kid, probably 1999-2000, and there was this little booth in the middle with a dude selling and buying cards. That was his business. I brought my binder and he offered me 10$ for Alakazam. I refused. He was selling a Charizard for 120$. I'll never forget that.

I'll also never forget the time I was sitting on my front steps with friends and we were all opening packs of Pokemon cards we had just purchased. Bikes out on the lawn all sprawled out. I flipped through one pack and there was Charizard. We basically all reacted this way, almost exactly:

I didn't write about Pokemon in my story since the card game became really prevalent more around '99. Definitely one of my best memories from childhood, though.

I still own my entire Pokemon card binder. 100% srs.
definitely got screwed outta some cards back in the day. my brother was the one with the big bender though. has somenpretty good legendaries in there as well

me and my friend in 5th grade used to bike down to our local grocery store with some cash his mom gave us, buy root-beer, and then pretend like it was beer or something and just act stupid when drinking it on the benches outside. We'd also do 'tricks' with our bikes off a kind of elevated sidewalk area where there was an unusually large drop. used to think we were the chit

Sounds like what I do. I'd say I listen to music from my favorite SNES and N64 games on a daily basis. Either when I'm outside, inside doing house work, walking around, hiking, or reading/studying/writing/working.

I have a pretty sizeable property and I grow lots of crops and flowers and berry bushes, so when I work on my gardens on a daily basis, I'm always listening to Harvest Moon 64 music and, more recently, Stardew Valley music. In the early AM now, I sit outside on my back porch looking at the morning sun slowly rising above the woods, its rays filtering through the trunks. I'm drinking coffee and listening to the forest theme from Chrono Trigger. The list goes on!

MY dad lives out in the country and doesnt have cable tv, just an antenna that got 4-5 channels back then (now its about 10)
When I stayed there for the weekend I was so happy when I woke up early enough to catch One Saturday Morning and eat half a box of frosted flakes

That's a bit after my time, but I believe I remember Yugioh becoming a thing when my brother was at the end of elementary school. I was in high school at the time. I remember seeing the anime on TV, though. Back in my day, some kids were playing Magic.

If we're headed into a future where everyone will be wearing a face mask, then that's going to be really interesting. We derive our primary social cues from our faces. Kids that grow up in this kind of environment if the mask wearing persists will probably be studied for a while. I can definitely see social/developmental psych longitudinal studies.

What are kids into nowadays anyways? Every little kid I see is just staring at a phone. I might be really out of touch but I can't imagine having social media accounts as a 10 year old would be really healthy for your cognitive development and sense of self-worth and esteem?

We were at Barnes and nobles and this dude had a jewel scale and was weighing every pack of Pokémon cards they had
My step dad asked what he was doing and he explained that the packs with a holographic card weighed more and gave me a pack that he said would have a holographic card in it.
Turned out he was absolutely correct so from then on they got me a weight watchers scale and I started weighing the decks before picking out which ones I’d buy.
So I just tested this out and help my fuk it actually works. I took some photos as evidence. I wish I were aware back then. This would have been an absolute game changer.

Here is a picture of my old Pokemon card binder. I have the entire set completed.



Luckily, I had kept some of my packs (opened) with cards in them.

Pack with 11 cards no holo:



Pack with 11 cards and a holographic Nidoqueen:



So, the packs that contained a holo card were 1 gram heavier. Absolute mindfuk over here.
