My kid is getting into Minecraft and it’s so hard to not stop their excitement by being like “yeah, I know, I’ve been playing this for longer than you’ve been alive” because I love how excited they get learning about how to make basic shit (and they’re playing ATM10,so there’s a TON of shit they haven’t even come close to seeing) and sharing that with me.
Reminds me of a time when my nephew was playing vintage Super Mario Kart and started trash talking me about how long they had been playing and that I didn’t stand a chance.
“I was playing this since before you were born kid”
Started getting popular… The original release of games in 1998 was an enormous success here in the US, Pokemon was popular from inception; when are you referring to?
yeah, i’m an older Xennial and my younger sibling was not allowed to watch anime for reasons. My first handheld gaming console was my first smartphone in 2014? I don’t understand pokemans at all.
yeah. she had a smartphone when the first one came out. i didn’t get my first cell until 2007 because who wants people to be able to get ahold of them all the time
Son, I remember when people were confused about Mr. Game and Watch while I was fondly reminiscing about my first handheld while looking at my childhood through R.O.B colored glasses.
Recently got asked by a youngster whether I know Pokémon.
Kid … I was there, 3000 years ago at the beginning.
Was it Youngster Joey? Did he show you his Rattata?

me when kids explain weird-ass minecraft lore to me when i’ve been there since it was a browser game
“Kid you don’t even know what Alpha means…”
All these zoomers thinking I’m a manosphere chud because I said I played minecraft alpha version 😣
"Kids these days"TM don’t get any references before Pokemon…like McGuyvering, Voltron…so I resent Pokemon because of that…😬
I thought mcguyver was a simpsons thing for about 25 years until I learned the truth
I was 22 when Pokemon started becoming popular in the US. You really feel being a Gen Xer in a Millenial nostalgia world!

I have a neighbor who’s four years older than me, but the rift between 1983 and 1987, technology, seems insurmountable, it’s insane.

Okay xoomer, I bet you don’t get spongebob references either, do ya!
Not directly! Only if they’re repeated a lot online.
What a sad, depraved life… 😔

Bro. Blackjack on the studio II.
I tell my kids that any pokemon beyond the original 151 is a fake pokemon.
Get off my lawn!
it took my mom and I half an hour to figure out how to leave the house when we first booted up pokemon blue
