Author mentions being a kid when the PS4 and Xbone were out
When someone says “I liked fortnite when I was a kid” my back starts to hurt more
Surely that person would still be a child
Seven years
You’re back is going to hurt more, I’m one of them. I was in middle school. I have childhood memories of playing fortnite on my childhood nintendo switch with my friends.
Childhood Nintendo Switch
This phrase is ageist.
I turned to dust
When we battled or traded Pokemon we had to hook up a USB sized 2 foot long cable between our gameboys and make sure not to jostle them even slightly or the game would drop. This of course meant you could unplug the cable at a certain point to duplicate your Pokemon during a trade. Now if you wanted to play in the dark your parent would have had to buy you a third party backlight peripheral that could drain a pair of AA batteries in about 12 seconds, which is what the gameboy ran on at the time. So to have a sleepover involving gen 1 and 2 (and more I dont think the gameboy advance had a backlight either) pokemon meant bringing a suitcase sized box of accessories and batteries and game cartridges.
What does this have to do with forknife you ask? I don’t know
This of course meant you could unplug the cable at a certain point to duplicate your Pokemon during a trade.
A friend taught us how to do this and let us duplicate his Mew and Mewtwo. Before long everyone had like 10 of both
Me when people say New Vegas was a childhood favorite
It was, started playing it as a teen back in 2015
People in their mid 20s were starting high school when the PS4/Xbone came out lol, and grew up on the PS2/OG Xbox and PS3/Xbox 360 games…
I know, because I am in my mid 20s lol.
I grew up with an N64 and PS1 at the granddad’s, PS2 and Xbox at the friend’s place, Xbox 360 at the other grandparents’, and PS3/Wii at home, and I was a preteen when the Xbox One and PS4 hit store shelves, verily my age is a finite number and yet I belong to no generation
Growing up, I understood that there would one day be cultural references that make me feel old.
But I never quite grasped that it’d be another batch every decade, you know?
I had no consoles during my childhood
I am dust.
I remember renting a ps1 from Blockbuster
hheellloooo
