That Holy shit, I'm old moment.
- Thread starter Douche McBaggins The 4th
- Start date
I'm not 40 yet but man...it's been interesting noting how my old high school friends have changed physically over time.
Like, some of them I barely even recognized when seeing them randomly when visiting my hometown. I'm not ready for people to look old.
Whatever is going on in the "Bhad "Cash Me Outside" Bhabie BRAWLS with Woah Vicky and Lil Toy" thread.
Feeling sore and tired the morning after going to a weeknight concert. I'm feeling it pretty hard this morning. I guess I should count my blessings that someone I met last night thought I was 10 years younger than I actually am. That made me feel pretty good.
The pilot for Adventure time is over a decade old. The show officially started in 2010, 8 years ago.
Keep telling yourself that..... it's a telltale sign of oldness denial!
First time for me was seeing Man of Steele on opening night. The audience was mostly younger 20's. I think I was one of maybe two people there above 30.
Ill be 27 in a few months, but the major one that gets me is how much more excited I get about getting groceries, or some new pants, or getting my car washed than I do about a new game. I only really can be interested in one new game a year at this point. last year was BOTW, this year its probably going to be GOW.
When I sneezed and pulled a muscle in my neck and it was stiff a full 5 days. That was 2 years ago when I turned 40.
(This is not a joke. It truly happened.)

I remember getting excited to pick out an Intellivision game or an Atari game at KB Toys with my dad. Also, my dad died 25 years ago.....man.
Dabbing.
What the fuck are you doing? You look stupid. Stop it. Someone get me my ensure and put Matlock on....

Yeah. My getting old moment(s) came last year, when I attended a funeral for my grandfather, then one for my mother-in-law, and my brother-in-law died like two months after that. Then I landed myself in the hospital and was in and out of the hospital for about six months. Mortality sneaks up on you...then it bitchslaps you right in the fucking face.
I am going to my 20 year high school reunion this week. There is no way I have been out of high school 20 years already.
Felt old when a college grad said their highschool had iPads for readings. 29 btw and graduated from college 3 years ago.
Looking at the age of some of the cast for a movie or show that I liked and realizing that I am way older than them. This used to be the exact opposite when I was young.
I will turn 28 next month.

That's probably the saddest part of all of this. Post-Cold War, Pre-9/11 America was a great time, and that's not just nostalgia. There was a general air of happiness and jubilation, and it demonstrated itself in the culture of the time. School shootings weren't a weekly occurrence, no one had a second thought about terrorism. The biggest domestic scandal was the President getting a blowjob in the Oval Office from a staffer. Even the bad shit like Waco, Oklahoma City, and Columbine were thought of as anomalies and not systemic.
The happiness and jubilation was mostly a veneer, a disguise, a consequence of being the "winners" of the Cold War. The issues were there, but they could so easily be ignored. Being a kid in the 90s was innocence. 9/11 and it's consequences really just shattered that veneer.

Of course. He's 9 now so only have a few years of real life ass kicking left before he takes me in a fight, too. Got to take advantage.
Saddest part of all if this really. My neice was born in 2003 and has never known the country not at war. Its so incredibly sad to think about. So thankful I was born when I was.
When James Franco got outed for creeping on a 17 year old and in their texts she didn't know that # meant "number".
Whenever I have a client born after 9/11.

My girlfriend is from generation z , I am a filthy millennial.

Watching games on youtube instead of playing them means you're aging backwards, Benjamin Button style.
I'm exposed to this feeling a lot as a Dad of a preteen when I'm in my early 30's. Like I think I keep pretty current and most parents that have kids my age are a lot older than me but nah I'm past the point of no return and I'm always gonna be lame as fuck
When the people around me don't get my Simpsons references and I dont get their SpongeBob references...
When I realised that I could quite easily be a dad to pretty much every apprentice we have at work. And that's meaning having them at a responsible age, not when I was 16. (no disrespect to anyone who has)
To be fair there's a woman at work who became a grandma a few years back at 41, the age I am now. Now that would be depressing!
Also, when I found my first grey pubic hair! #thisiswhatitfeelslikewhendovescry

If it makes us feel any better. I watched the Digital Foundry Shenmue mini-doc and discovered that Shenmue was announced in 1998 (released the next year I think). So Shenmue is only 20 years old. I honestly thought it felt like longer..
I'm lucky as a 33 year old guy who apparently has the face of a 25 year old I can still get away with going to clubs.. kind of. I enjoy it but the day I'm flat out refused entry to a nightclub purely because I look past it will be my true awakening.

I think it just depends on how into music you are. Junior high school is when I started to get into music, so I would actively search out modern stuff as well as old stuff.
I think its just that you don't watch much youtube then. Because a lot of the youtubers I watch were also born in the 80's, and sometimes older. Twitch streamers generally run younger, as the average age of who I watch there is probably early 20's.
I realized this a couple years back once I purchased my first home.
I barely if ever touch my PS4, because I don't have the time. I haven't even beat Persona 5 yet!!!
I will however find a way to play God of War though. I'm determined.
I also seem to have shifted massively towards mobile gaming since I can play while doing laundry.

I'm 40, a pretty damned fit 40 (been weight training for 20 years)...Bought a baseball glove while dressed like a lazy slacker, unshaven, gray hairs in beard (head is shaved), and the girl at the register says "Oh, so do you like play softball with the neighbors, my parents do stuff like that"..I was like, no I coach baseball and need a new glove. I also wanted to rip my shirt off and be like "DO YOUR PARENTS AND NEIGHBORS STRIATIONS EVERWHERE TOO!?!?"...but I just paid for my glove and walked out...wondering how much longer I had to live.
When your friends start having babies, buying your first washing machine and get really happy to start using it, getting drunk and have a hungover that last a day, getting to friday so you can continue watching a series instead of partying.
Damn...

Here's my "holy shit I'm old moment." Seeing a casual joke (at least I hope it is a joke) - advocating violence against younger generations because they beat you in a videogame - become normalized.
It's obviously a joke. However, I wasn't advocating violence against an entire generation. I was talking about my son. And for the record, I rough house with him all the time. I'm not actually kicking his ass.
actually it makes you sound like a cranky millennial, not in the "Holy Shit, I'm Old" club.
