and we wondered why everything was a GameBoy or a Nintendo for our parents

No no! THIS is different ! πŸ˜€ it's because it's funny to mess with kids.

My routine when I walk into the room where my daughter is playing a game:

  1. Identify the game she is playing.
  2. Ask her how <activity in game she isn't currently playing> is going. Like if she's caught all the PokΓ©mon when she's playing Minecraft.

I'm not even trying to be subtle about it, but am still not sure she realizes I'm doing it deliberately. Either way, she corrects me with exasperation each time.

When I hear "20 yrs ago" I still think 90s. 😭

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months ago

I remember in 2010 when someone posted a meme on ragecomics that showed how sad they are that some people still use 'years ago' to refer to the early 90s...

[–] wheeldawg@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

I still think 90s when I hear 8-9 years ago.

Well and here we are! I don't even know if peeble and doop are real places online or she just made it up to make a point πŸ˜†

[–] ddash@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 months ago

Made it up. Please. Dear god. Please.

[–] Lucky13@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I used to work at a hikers' hostel on the Appalachian Trail. A group of hikers needed a ride into town but were short on cash. One of them suggested they offer the hostel owner some weed in exchange for a ride. Another one said, "He doesn't smoke weed. He's old, like in his 40s." He actually was in his 50s and bought his weed from me lol

"The young ones are lacking conservative quality that we had" - Every old cohort going back through time

You keep joking about Doop and it's going to come true.

[–] _____@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago (4 children)

I don't regret any of this one bit, you look them up and it's always someone shilling products extremely hard while doing extremely low effort content like reaction videos or streaming Minecraft.

[–] earphone843@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The fact that 'influencer' is a legitimate job title is proof that humanity is doomed.

[–] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

They aren't some symbol of the end times or anything, they're just a symptom of the sort of attention based economy we've built up here in America. They exist precisely because you can get paid to shill products while playing Minecraft.

If we reign in the marketing and advertising industries then influencers will fall alongside them.

Or, if we regulate "proper" ads and fail to do the same to influencers, whether on purpose or not, then they will become a primary source of advertising. Depending how this is handled could be a good or bad thing.

I often need to remind myself that Harry Potter, and Lord of the Rings are not recent movies.

It's the same as being a kid in the 80s, which I was, and thinking The Seven Year Itch was a recent movie. Now, I had seen that movie on TV, because my parents liked it, and I thought it was funny, but never did I think of it as "recent".

Still, you can't tell me that Harry Potter movies didn't happen in the last ten years.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Holy hell, the last movie was released in 2011.

I remember how much anticipation and agony people were complaining about waiting for it, that it couldn't come soon enough.

I recently picked up a new game: RoboCop: rogue city..... It hits all of the nostalgia about the original movie so far. Marching through an office building blowing off people's hands and ripping machine guns off turrets and mowing down rooms full of enemies in all the gory, bloody detail..... It gives me all the warm and fuzzy feelings.

The sound track is on point too.

Hard to believe it's source material is from 1987. The game almost looks as good as the movie did. It's not as polished as big name titles. People will talk and their mouth won't move, some of the idle animations for NPCs is very repetitive and robotic.... But the visuals... MMM. If you liked the original, and want to partake in some thug killing mayhem as Murphey himself, I'd recommend it.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

It's actually only $9.99 right now with the Steam spring sale, normally $49.99...fuck. I might have to play it.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I refuse to ever call Harry Potter a classic.

I was talking to my primary-school age kids about their teachers, and one of them says their next teacher will be Mr Smith.

"He's old," they said, "he must be at least fifty".

I said "nah man. Mr Smith is probably only a few years older than me, early forties I reckon".

They had me with "no he's like really old. He reads a newspaper"

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (13 children)

Yeah, the other day I was consulting with another therapist, and I was telling her how in EMDR therapy I often say β€œdon’t give me the whole article, just the headline” when I want to explain to the client to avoid talking too much during EMDR. she works with teens, and she went β€œyeah, that will not fly with my clients.”

We came up with β€œdon’t give me the long-form video, just give me the TikTok” as we both felt we were inching closer to the grave, lol.

As somebody who was born in 2007, I have no clue who modern celebrities are either. People consider me out of touch but I have no idea what half of what people around me are saying. The acronyms don't help and I am too scared to search them up.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Woah, 2007ers are 18 now. πŸ‘΄

[–] 257m@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Well 17 still. I still got like 6 months.

Is Baby Gronk the new Drip King, or is he just getting rizzed up by Livvy?

[–] Koarnine@pawb.social 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I love that yours is entirely real but it feels just as fake as the entirely fake one you are replying too 🀣

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

entirely real

I will press (Gen) X to doubt...

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Reminds me of "Shrimp cereal Topanga husband is a MeToo milkshake duck." You have to be aware of five different pieces of pop culture and meme culture knowledge for it to make sense.

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

How come the only part of that sentence that doesn't sound like complete gibberish is "milkshake duck"?

These posts feel like Interdimensional Cable from Rick and Morty.

I'm a school bus driver and my elementary school kids go on about somebody named "Queso" (sp?) on Youtube and I find myself constantly fighting the urge to see what he's all about. It can't possibly be good.

[–] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

He's a streamer whose chat makes fun of him for being fat. Caseoh.

There's a whole lot of people who are basically famous with being famous...

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And most of them have the surname "Kardashian".
