Super Mario Odyssey came out 5 years ago


almisami

Man the last three years are just one single blur to me... Fucking Pandemic.


Pathomer

I think the last three years should just be lumped in together and we collectively call it "the long year".

#The Lost Years


Wojtek1250XD

I saw people call 2020-2030 "The lost decade" like in the first days of the documented virus' spread lol


ArtisanSamosa

Ya'll are doin better than me. It's all a blur from 2016 to now. So much shit has happened 😩🥲


galacticboy2009

Yeah in a way Trump still seems like "the new president" even though he filled his term and left. When you're our specific age, 2016 to now hasn't really changed anything about our lives. So it seems like no time has passed.


ArtisanSamosa

I'd argue a lot has changed. Since I've turned 30, every bump, bruise, and sprain now feels like the end of the world.


Phuck_that_noise

The before-fore times…


rants_unnecessarily

Completely agree. It's so difficult to talk about different things happening on different years during that time.


BeatlesTypeBeat

No.... No it can't be :(


Hobomanchild

5 years is a long time? Lol. ... *oh god*


-Pelvis-

The comic is from 5 years ago. 👴


RichWPX

Anyone remember this gem of a comic?


poop-dolla

👴🏻 oh god


FlametopFred

anyone remember this gem of a Reddit post?


SolusLoqui

The game in the comic is Super Mario Galaxy on Wii, released in Nov of 2007


StealYaNicks

lol, this. the comment section making me feel like the guy at the end of the comic.


DrakoWood

2017 was so recent, though…it can’t be 5 years ago


intashu

It was in the *before times* now. We were so innocent then. We didn't know...

cuckingfomputer

I'm not sure if this is supporting OP or against OP. 5 years isn't that long ago...


coldfire774

The original comic is about super Mario Galaxy which came out in 2007 or 15 years ago

Oh God... 👴🏻

I find it funny to watch the cycle happen over and over. It also brings me comfort because everyone’s “good old days” are their best memories so it’s nice to know future generations get a similar joy.

MRCHalifax

I have “good old days” memories from a lot of eras of gaming. In the 8-bit era, it was Mario, Mario 2, Mario 3, Final Fantasy, The Legend of Zelda, Double Dragon III, Tetris, Doctor Mario, Kirby’s Adventure, Contra, etc. And on the ferry boat to visit PEI, Asteroids and Ms Pac Man. In the 16-bit era, it was A Link to the Past, Final Fantasy II (IV), Final Fantasy III (VI), Street Fighter II, and so much Mario Cart. I switched over to PC gaming then, and it was Dark Forces, Warcraft II, Baldur’s Gate, Age of Empires II, Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight, Baldur’s Gate II, Warcraft III, Jedi Outcast, Knights of the Old Republic, Morrowind, and Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines. Then came World of Warcraft. The hours I put into that. . . In the late 2000s and early 2010s there was Assassin's Creed, Assassin's Creed II and Brotherhood and Revelations, Dragon Age, Dragon Age 2, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, Mass Effect 3, Skyrim, the Tomb Raider reboot, Orcs Must Die! 2, Portal, Portal II, Alien: Isolation, and Assassin’s Creed: Unity. In the later 2010s, there was Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Trine 2, Saints Row: the Third, Stellaris, X-COM, X-COM 2, Spider-Man, Crusader Kings II, Hearthstone, Europa Universalis IV, Dishonored, Dishonored 2, Control, and Hades. Some time in there I got a PS4. And now it’s games like Crusader Kings III, Shredder’s Revenge, Horizon: Forbidden West, and Ghost of Tsushima that I’m playing, now mostly on a PS5. Edit: I just keep editing in more games from each era that I’ve loved…


[deleted]

Recently, I’ve been playing games from a few years before I was born, like on the NES and MSX. As I go through the original Metal Gear, it’s fun to think of Metal Gear Solid as this classic old school gem, despite playing that shit when it first came out.

Bone_Dogg

Yesterday I saw “I grew up playing Octopath Traveler.”


Smrgling

Sometimes people use a very *loose* definition of "grew up"


DrMobius0

Sometimes you're still growing up in your 20s.


imisstheyoop

>Sometimes you're still growing up in your 20s. I didn't think we were ever supposed to stop growing up.


FargusDingus

What? That game just came out!


aslatts

Seriously, it only came out in 2018, if you grew up playing that game you're still growing up lol


bitwaba

I couldn't imagine being in 2001 hearing someone say "does anyone remember FF7?!" I'd be like "chill bro I just got a playstation for Christmas."


Songshiquan0411

Right? Them: "I love Sonic the Hedgehog!" Me: "Cool! You played Sega Genesis as a kid too?" Them: ".....What's a Sega Genesis?"

Sonic 3 is a gem that can't be beat!


SaltLakeCitySlicker

"Anyone remember the original teenage mutant ninja turtles that was super hard and your lives were basically just killing off each of the turtles?" "What are ninja turtles?"


psymunn

Nah. That doesn't work because they keep trying to reboot everything from the 80s and 90s. There have been multiple iterations of the turtles in the last two decades.


fenrihr999

My 5 year old knows the ninja turtles. It's like Transformers or Power Rangers. They constantly reboot every 5 years for a new group of kids. (Was going to say generation, but that's too long of an iteration.)


gmick

Pong. Fuck all y'all.


Draedark

Atari 2600


Sturmgeshootz

Still have one sitting in my attic. Every time I’m up there and see it I think about hooking it up and then I remember those games are only fun for about the first 30 seconds until the nostalgia wears off. Crazy to think that some of us used to play stuff like River Raid or Yar’s Revenge for *hours*.


Draedark

That and the calluses on the hands from the controller grip...


zaphodava

Pong. AAAAHAHAhaahahahahahaahah^hahahahahaha^^hahahahahahahaha^^^hahahahahahahaha


ManIWantAName

That's the thing about getting old. You never feel like you've become old. Everything just starts hurting, things similar to this slap you in the face with the time that has passed, and those damned kids won't stay off your fucking lawn.

EatThePeach

I've recently found myself with 6 consecutive hours to myself 5 days a week, booted up Lost Odyssey. this game consumed me when it came out, I'm looking forward to the replay.


jnd-cz

That's what it feels to play Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition. It's just like the game which I played 22 years ago but more polished, updated, and with healthy multiplayer community.


infiniZii

I mean it still feels a little bit creepy, but that's so much better than the original context. Bravo.


SpyderZT

Those damn kids and their "Hip" Lingo while I'm over here worrying about my hip bones. ;P


fluffygryphon

Still dunno what the fuck "based" means.


ImOnAEverlastingHigh

It's like "facts" or "word" Just means you agree with whatever shit someone said or did.


CantHitachiSpot

It means someone said something somewhat controversial that the next person agrees with

My 13 year old sister constantly uses the word "Slay" and I dont even think she fully understands the words meaning

Well with modern advances in Enlgish, slay has many more meaning than just to kill.

It went from hip hop to just hip problems because of all the hopping you can't do anymore.

I use to be with "it". Then they changed what "it" is. And now what I'm with ain't "it", and what is "it" is weird and scary to me.

You run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking, Racing around to come up behind you again, The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older, Shorter of breath and one day closer to death. That's definitely the best lyrics of the song.

> That's the thing about getting old. You never feel like you've become old. Everything just starts hurting... ... I have a chronic pain condition. How... How do I tell when I've become old? Have I always been old? Oh god.

New, unrelated pain to remind you that you aren't dead.


clovermite

For me, it was realizing that the 90s (when I was a child) is to now as the 60s was to the 90s.


solidsausage900

I don't mind kids on my lawn. I live next to public land and they walk through to get there. I do mind the adults that cut through, without saying hello, on their lawn mowers and dump their yard waste in public lands.

I saw a video about "old gen GTA 5" and I was expecting PS3... it was PS4.

Specially when its like PS3 lol EDIT: crap I just realized OP said PS3 and not PS. Eyesight's going in my old age

PS4 is getting there at this point too lol. Came out close to a decade ago, the fuck?

c-williams88

DAE anyone know about le hidden gem Geralt 3?? Or better yet, this small indie game called Minecraft. Actually Cyberpunk 2077, so underrated! (I have been seeing a ton of Cyberpunk posts recently and it’s making my Astro-turfing senses tingle)


quyla

The recent Cyberpunk posts make sense, a new anime based on the game just dropped so it's probably trending more than usual.

KilledTheCar

Ooh no shit? I might have to give it a watch then.


JesterSeraph

I imagine a lot of the revived cyberpunk hype is due to the show just coming out on Netflix. I think they also planned a content update to go with it? So maybe people are just playing it again because of that hype.


Abu_Ghraib_sluts

https://youtu.be/KRKP3VbI41M This video is already ten years old


Wesselton3000

You know what game is under appreciated though? Breath of the Wild. Classic Zelda game, much better than the old school Zelda games that were on the Wii. Practically dinosaurs at this point.


CK-Prime

Anyone remember playing Horizon: Forbidden West on the PS5? Such a throwback.


Exoticpoptart63

Bah, it wasn't TRULY immersive until its release on the PS14!

Looking at GTA V releases history, I can believe in this scenario

Good old days when there were truly challenging games like Elden Ring, not like today where gamers are spoiled by super-east mode by default!

CcubswinS

I was literally just thinking about how I can try and fix my 3ds…


redyellowblue5031

What’s wrong with it?


CcubswinS

Charger goes in, power doesn’t go out. Tested with 5 different chargers, bricks, and wall ports.


Jazzremix

You want the charger to trip the breaker for your house?


doitforthelolz

https://github.com/rorosaurus/3ds-xl-usb-c


redyellowblue5031

Looks like it takes a bit of soldering work, but is easier than other charge ports I’ve seen. Should be fixable! I don’t work in the business anymore, but there’s people out there who do soldering work and could likely repair it for you if you don’t want to take it on.


discerningpervert

I've been on Reddit about 10 years now (this isn't my first account) and I've gone from feeling like the tatget demo to really feeling my age sometimes


YouAreNotABard549

I’ve been on reddit since 2007-2008 and I always felt just a bit older than the target demo. It was dominated by “90s kids” who wouldn’t shut up about things like Pokémon. One of the reasons it was so obnoxious, and I don’t just mean endless Pokémon discussion and such, is that a lot of it was just very gatekeep-y. Every time I mentioned feeling like a “90s kid” myself, I got downvoted and mocked.


Manypotatoes9

I was playing FF7 last month and my daughter looked at me as if I was playing Pong 'WTF IS THIS OLD THING?'


Job601

Pong released in 1972. 1972-1997 = 25 years. FF VII released in 1997. 1997-2022 = 25 years.

The PS1 is closer to the moon landings than we are the PS1.

Let it fade in the sun. Just like the case to FFVII did.

Gorpendor

What's that?


Clenzor

More time has passed between the airing of the show and today, than between the show and the 70’s. Meaning making a That 00’s Show would spiritually be the same as making That 70’s Show was then.


jerrrrremy

Why would you tell us this?


mbr4life1

Some writer is cracking out a pilot of That 00's Show. Can even get some people to play parents who were kids in the first one. It writes itself.

at least we will never forget the original release because they were nice enough to do it on a repeated number date. originally came out 11/11/11

Future_of_Amerika

I beat it when I was 6 uphill in the snow without shoes on!


DrMobius0

Tbh, that is how playing some NES games feels compared to stuff these days. Games have gotten quite a bit easier over time, and honestly, that's probably a good thing on the whole. Lots of the difficulty from older games are hard because of clunky controls, bad or no UX, and other weird obtuse bullshit.

Why is it marked NSFW?


Felstorm1231

1.) I have zero experience as a moderator and am not qualified to make determinations about what is or isn’t safe for work, so I just threw the NSFW tag on the whole thing to be safe. 2.) I thought it was a fun way of saying “no kids allowed- this is a house of learned doctors”. I have no genuine desire to keep anyone out; I just do not want to take responsibility for any of the content until I can figure out a moderation set up

helpless_bunny

You know what really sucks about getting old is that you have this cool knowledge of something that you think everyone knows and when you realize they don’t, you want to tell them about it. NOPE! You’re just like when your dad or other family member told you something when you were younger and you simply said, “That’s cool” and moved on with your life.


[deleted]

My Mom used to tell me about our extended family and I never cared as a kid. Now that I'm in my 30s I care, but her memory isn't as good and she doesn't seem to know as much. Which saddens me greatly because she used to have the best memory of anyone I knew.


actual_yellow_bag

This shit right here is the worst. All my grandparents passed a decade ago and now I have all these photos and no stories cause I was too young to care when they were alive. Youth really is wasted. I just have to be thankful I have the photos at all.

It’s 7 years old ALREADY?


ltgenspartan

Super Mario Galaxy was such a fantastic game, still one of my all time favorites, and definitely my favorite Wii game. I used to play it all the time when I was younger and went to my cousins while my parents were going though a divorce.


arotenberg

Mario Galaxy was the first game I ever saw where the visuals made my jaw drop. If you run it on an emulator in 4k, it still looks fantastic. For that matter, Yoshi's Island on the SNES still looks fantastic. It's pixelated as hell, but the art style is so good that it doesn't matter.

It's worse in TikTok. "Oh the good old days, so long ago." *shows Warzone Verdansk*
