Sonic has been a 3rd party franchise for more than half it's life.
The Xbox line has been around longer than the entirety of Sega's consoles.
If you were 8 when you played Smash Bros Brawl, you can vote this year.
There are people playing FighterZ that were born after GT ended in NA.

Not 100% on topic, but I recently started playing vampire: bloodlines. A 14 years old game, that I had problems running back then on my shitty PC. Long story short, the game is running at 4k/60 now thanks to fan patches (and is in general in a much better state). I checked my GPU load and it's barely around 5% load... Which blew my mind. I remember having problems and now my gpu barely gets used.
And before:"but it looks like terrible today." Yeah, but back then it was state of the art.

Tangentially related but I visited a friend with a 4 year old a few months ago after getting an Apple watch and they immediately knew how to interact with it without question, it blew my mind a little.
Damn. I once gave a presentation about the CRT technology back in school.
My contribution: every Back to the Future game takes place entirely in the past.
The last good Final Fantasy is closer to the first Final Fantasy than the most recent Final Fantasy.
What have I been doing with my life.

I think the worst part is the stigma - in most parts of the world playing video games is still considered extremely childish.
Just shoot me.
This is the worst one... I literally felt uneasy in my stomach after reading this (and I am using the word literally correctly here).
You'll get it when your older. It's only recently happened to me.
As time pass and things change so do you when you are younger. You age at a rapid rate going through life stages pretty quickly. So you are used to change because that's all you know. Once you are older things start becoming more of the same. You don't have this major milestones of growth. So when time passes the same, it dosent pass the same like it once did.
Hahaha I was in the 4th grade when the 360 came out. I'm working my first job in an office now.
finally someone close to my age on this forum, lol
(which day in september?)
give it a few months and you'll be anxious over if you've wasted your life already, like me. lol
oh, close (mine's the 10th)
Cool. That does not go away ;D
you'll soon realize no adults truly know what they're doing, if you haven't realized already
Ultima IV was an RPG about setting an example for a kingdom through a series of virtues. Ultima V was an RPG about what happens when a system of spiritual beliefs is turned into a tool of oppression. Ultima VI was an RPG about what happens when a system of spiritual beliefs encounters a different system of spiritual beliefs, and how those beliefs are a means to an end rather than an end unto itself, and at the end you unite two warring peoples by bringing them wisdom.
I like to remind people of this when they say video game narratives have matured, but all the RPGs end with you killing a guy with even less convincing motivations than a Marvel Cinematic Universe villain.
thhos really sucks man how 17 years of dev time wasted on shitty final fantasy games
You will grow old. It's inevitable. You may feel invincible at your age and being old seems like a unreachable goalpost, it will happen.
You will die and turn to dust. And everything you've ever done, every line spoken, every action taken, anyone touched and holded and argued with, will be forgotten. Forever.
You. Mean. Nothing.
Disagree, I can already gloat to my girlfriends 13 year old brother that I used to be able to play online without fees and buy a complete game at launch when I was his age
in 10 years time, looking back and remembering games before they were Skinner box based lootbox pushing psychologically exploitative gambling facsimiles will make it clear as day that things were better before
