So when I was a kid we weren't well off, wasn't poor but I wasn't the kid who could get the latest shit, so instead I would look at magazines about new tech and games and imagine what it would like to finally have those things. Now many of that stuff is junk you can get for little money (well some of it, other is "RARE" so prices are still ridiculously high) meaning I can finally afford to own the stuff.
………….how can I describe the feeling when I finally did it?
<The massive amount of disappointment
Like when I was a kid I wanted a SegaCD but shit was expensive in my country. I thought the games were the shit, full motion video and CD sound. Then when emulators finally show up I get to play those games, and it sucked ass. Same when I wanted an Xbox to play Halo 2 which wasn't on PC: when it finally launches on windows it was complete shit, even for 2004 it is shit, it was boring and cumbersome to play. I had this idea of an epic game and it was such a letdown.
I now see guys my age and over with huge game collections that take most of their homes, the thing of my childhood dreams, and yet……..I don't care, I dont care to waste money on collecting this shit. Leaving aside I could play all of these games on an emulator I dont care to do even that, got full packs, hundreds of GB, downloaded and ready to play and I dont even bother to. Have a phone with a bt pad that would allow me to play PS2 games on the go, mindblowing shit just 10 years ago or so, and I don't do it.
Another thing I wanted was to own hifi stuff, specially iPods and Minidisc which were cool as fuck. Then I remember back then I barely even listened to music and I cringe at the stuff I used to listen back then, why I wanted that shit? because it looked cool? bragging rights? can't remember, depression is killing my memory. Now I could get every ipod ever made, used of course but still, and MD players are a bit overpriced but not much. And yet, should I? or finally having the thing will result in massive disappointment again? is better to have the memory of when I wanted these things instead of finally getting it and feeling this mixture of disappointment for wasting so much time lusting after these things?
TLDR: was chasing after something better than actually having it?

Yes. Honestly I'm a bit supprised it took you so long to figure this out. Given the tech you mentioned in your post I assume you at least near your 30s. But I guess that's fine. Better late than never is something I try to live by too. Next up: "Habit dulls us against good and evil and levels all things."

Congratz, you figured out one of the major flaws of the bipedaled primate. Companies advertise for one very good reason: it works. kids are especially vulnerable to this. Monkey does want shiny thing. Monkey wants what everyone else has. You see the same behavior in chimps, dogs and some other mammals
Availability also has something to do with it. If you can just download the entire SEGA game library in a few minutes, then of course its going to be less interesting compared to wating 4 months until christmas so your parents finally buy you that one game you wanted so badly. The very same supply and demand mechanism comes into play when for example there is a market bubble.
In school, I was the kid who always had the outdated phone and that was in the early to mid 2000's when phone innovation was at it's peak and I had inferiority complexes over it. Nowadays I just buy some IDGAF mid-range phone even though I could afford a flag ship but its not worth it because a year later there will be a new, slightly improved model that will be advertised as "next big thing" even though its the same shit as the previous one, but there's still people who'll buy at launch. Some people seem to never grow out of this.
The dangerous thing of our time is that companies know these mechanisms of human behavior and how to exploit it. they perfected the art and it works so well that any other option is dismissed. Capitalism has prevailed for a very good reason. it encourages greed and the human mind hasn't evolved to overcome these urges.

There is nothing new under the sun. Advertising as a psyop has always been a thing. All higher sentient life-forms are sentimental. They use logic to get what they want, but they cannot think logically. To think logically you have to be a plain-old computer. AI is not logical as it's sentient.
Hell, God Himself is the biggest anti-thesis of logic. Also, Vulcans, despite their monotonous "stoicism" aren't logical. They're just self-repressive.
>Capitalism has prevailed for a very good reason. it encourages greed and the human mind hasn't evolved to overcome these urges.
One must never criticize capitalism. To do so brings about the wrath of God and disdain of proper American principle.
At least that's what the Anglo-American right says.

Democracy as a whole is a huge gigantic failure. That is if we define success as the propagation of our genes.
I don't know if any other political system would have a different outcome or if humans are just bound by natural law to go extinct because we overshoot the carrying capacity of the earth by such a margin and destroyed our habitat in the process. But democracy even makes it hard to soften the blow due to the spoiled masses who want to cling onto their high energy consumption lifestyle even in the face of an extinction event. The lack of repentance or even simple insight is truly sickening to me. But hopefully we are fast in producing Pentobarbital in necessary quantities when the facts truly sink in with the general population.

People don't care about the natural world. They only care about the abstract metaphorical world of politics and philosophy. Natural determinism is an afterthought.
Think about it: the average working-class adult knows very little about what makes the earth go around the sun, what makes grass green, or how stars shine. Or what makes color. The only times they do care about the natural world is prove their political talking points or when Mother Nature has an episode (earthquake, wildfire, flood, tornado, etc).
And then, there's those urban myths like flat earth, 10-percent brain usage, phrenology, etc.

Thats the magical thing about childhood though. It is the one time in your life where everything is exciting and lives up to the hype because you are experiencing things for the first time and don`t have any objective standard of comparison anyways. The brain just works differently too so things that otherwise would come off as shitty for your adult version are going to be experienced viscerally and will leave lasting impressions as a child. Sure marketing exploits kids because they know this but at the same time you genuinely enjoy shit and are grateful for experiencing it without cynicism at that point in life. You just need someone there who is a responsible adult to offset the kikery
What you tell about the sega cd happened to me with the playstation 2, i was never able to afford one, that made me really depressed back then, now i can play all the games but it is obviously not the same as 12 yr old me playing them for the first time, it has a weird place in my mind because i still put it on a pedestal as unobtainable even though i have finally played the games and know its not a big deal, the imaginary playstation 2 in my head has a life of its own that doesn`t measure up to the real thing because all the years i sulked for not having one and thinking how great it would be.
today even media that i experience for the first time that i actually enjoy doesn`t have the same lasting effect as it did back then, nothing is "mindblowing " anymore. If you ask enough people you realize their favorite things ever are mostly shit they already liked when they were kids or teens or at most young adults. Like my favorite movie is still Akira because the huge impact it had on me watching it at 13 yrs old, i will probably not feel the same "mindblowingess" again by any other movie, to recreate the equivalent of that experience i`d have to bungee jump or go to an orgy on drugs or some shit. That is the reason a lot of 30-40 yr olds who now have money spend so much of it in weird fetishes that all go back to their childhood obsessions. "omgz i finally get to build my supreme yu gi oh deck at age 45, muh hard work paid off!!!111". Even sensible and otherwise mature people have this buttons, is not even a millenial or zoomer thing, its very human, you notice it a lot in geriatrics who become even more capritious about their weird habits that mutate from their childhood even though it ended almost a fucking century ago.
The first time i remember being vividly dissapointed by something i was so hyped about was when Metallica released St Anger, i was waiting for that fucking album for months, 15 yr old me was in denial while listening it after buying the cd , then it slowly sinked in that, as a matter of fact, yes, great expectations can lead to great dissapointments and that is was ok. One has to be honest about it and be realistic. Back then my visceral reaction was outright hateful, everything is visceral when young, if its not the best thing ever is the worst, that same attitude is also how you can tell underage posters on anon forums, they are always like this, we all were.

Regression is such a weird thing honestly. I had an abusive as shit childhood where I had some shitty piece of software restrict my usage of the family PC to half an hour a day, now that I'm able to mindlessly self-indulge I just spend that time jacking off to fat bitches and collecting cartoon frogs instead of all those video games I used to be excited about. The initial excitement tapers off so fucking fast nowadays, like I finally play a game I never got around to finishing as a kid because I only got a hold of the demo on those PC magazine DVDs I saved my lunch money for, and I just get fucking bored an hour in. Like the game is good. I'm just sick of it. But I don't know what the fuck else to do with my life.
Also sex. Like I never got laid in high school, not until my looks finally outpaced my raging autism. Like don't get me wrong I was unlikeable as shit as a teen, and I most likely still am. The only difference is I don't look like my dad picks out my fucking clothes anymore. Just made me realize how much shit about "what women really want" you see in articles and on social media is complete utter bullshit, if anything. They're stupid fucking people, and will gladly step over their moral values just to get some fat dick, just like dudes are utter mongoloids that break contacts over some pussy. Now it's all unfulfilling as hell. Cheap thrills, rich girls, white wine. Whatever. Just get me the hell off of Mr. Bones' wild ride.

Not at all actually, its actually the other way around, its was a very common thought of the illustration moving forward that whatever system is in place was either ending eventually or will eventually be replaced by force, the XXth attested to that, so much fucking back and forth.
From Marx to Spengler, all over the spectrum people were doing scatology , ever since the separation of church and state the political system has been seen as changeable and not all enduring land god ordained for eternity like feudalism larped to be. Is in fact how obvious it has become that everything is ephemera that is hard to find a foothold and relevance on anything, even your profession might not exist in 5 years, we all know that everyone is uppity about niggers now but will forget and in a few months they`ll be excited for brand new thing to be upset about, is all so pointless.
I don`t think humanity will wipe itself through wars though, everything about the current world is avoidance of war, trading one conflict to another, etc, people would rather hump their backs and get raped every now and then as the new normal than risking another conflict. If another hard reset of culture happens and we enter a new oscurantism it will not be due to a tangible collapse but a slow progression into widespread nihilism and rule of the lowest common denominators in every field tampering any meaningful human cooperation. It trascending even the retardation of comunism as it is , this will be a brand new monster with a popurri of old slogans and symbols, exactly what you would expect as an outcome of postmodern societies.
>It's funny how so many people seem to think X is a boomer/millenial/zoomer thing rather than, y'know, being a human thing
Sometimes it is because those are the generations living in post-modernist neoliberalism or whatever the system has been on the west for the last few decades, each of those generations has been exposed to diferent levels of mass media/technology and information age nonsense so there are particularities. If medieval people had videogames and twitter they would have reacted similarly to us as we all are humans but they didn`t, only we did and only we can serve as an example when discussing such phenomenons.

Nostalgia is the driving force behind current pop culture. Nothing is made just for kids. It has to drop hints of retro shit to appeal to 30-somethings. It's now wrong fpr kids to genuinely like anything.

Except youre wrong. Adults do take themselves way too seriously online. We have reached an era where people assume their own physical age as a badge of authority on everything. I cannot count how many times any post-2011 pop culture is labelled "zoomer" just because the anonbase doesn't connect to it.
But even beyond that, adults are more sentimental than youth. Otherwise, why do adults waste their brains on political and philosophical ideas that they don't have the guts to practice?

Yet they do, pretty much all entertainment revolves around kids and teens for a reason.
That pop culture is labeled zoomer because only the youngest truly get unironic enjoyment out of it and they don`t have a very high bar.
>Adults do take themselves way too seriously online
Adults are behaving more like teenagers on social media because social media is dominated by teenagers anyways. Also, social media only represents like 2% of people. The 20 yr old steven universe autist using fandom to bicker about politics is but a speck of dust irl

I've experienced that a lot too, I think it's just part of being passionate about something. Half my steam library is full of games that were hyped up for me and i found myself not enjoying them, and I think for at least some of them I would have enjoyed them if i hadn't mythologized them while waiting to buy them. I ended up constructing an expectation of what they would do for me and they always ended up falling short of what I had envisioned.
I think there are two ways of dealing with this feeling, trying to limit your expectations and picking apart the reasons you didn't like whatever failed your expectations. The first one is fairly obvious, but analyzing why you liked or didn't like something can become a catharsis of its own. It can also help you find games that you might find more enjoyable. Watch some video essays on games and talk to people on discord. Noah Gervais and Strat-Edgy are two channels that I've gotten a lot out of.

I take you're around my age, I was like 4 when the SegaCD came out, didn't even know how to read yet but the thing just looked impressive you know? like a HiFi set, while the nes looked like a fucking toy VCR. Ironically I had a PS2 near launch but it broke early on and I returned it for a full refund, then never got a new one because back then it didnt have any worthwhile games, the launch lineup was shit. In retrospective I regret it, mostly because I bought a gamecube thinking now that the dreamcast and sega were over then nintendo was the closest thing, big mistake. Now I feel bad because I didnt get to "live" the "best" console of that generation, but then again is there a point to this angst? highschool sucked for me, is when I went from a regular kid with friends to a fucking loner with anxiety over bullying, would have a PS2 had made any difference? is not like it had actual online gaming and I would make friends or some shit.
I been on the internet since nearly the beginning, and yet I never made any actual friends online, never really connected with anyone, if anything it has become a coping mechanism for not having friends IRL and instead of doing the effort to go outside and get new friends I used this shit instead. Or maybe theres no point? like there were social outcasts well before the internet, you see writings by old marxists and bolsheviks and it all reads like rants from an incel, specially the later which usually say there were not good with women and their movement couldn't get any girls to join.
The biggest irony is that I wish I was a normalfag, I wish I had a regular job, married or on a LTR, maybe kids, a house, etc. I don't have any illusions about that life, I know it sucks and its boring and odds are my kids will disappoint me in the end, but honestly its better than being a doomer and just see time go by and your life not changing. Of course this is not easy, I used to believe in the "bootstrap" mentality but life kicked that shit into dust and now I dont, because I tried and when you're a social outcast with a poor socioeconomic outcome nobody wants you, and you lack the resources to build a life. Current circumstances dont help either, the 90s are not just nostalgiafagging, that decade saw the end of the coldwar, communist and a massive economic expansion, those were unarguably better days for many people. Dunno, maybe if I had been born a genX I would've done better, the genX people I knew as a kid are now in their mid-40s or older but almost all have a "life", and I dont. I think the internet fucked me up a bit tho not as bad as social media its fucking up zoomers, but the fact genX was raised in a world that wasn't that different from the one boomers were in helped them a bit.
Or who knows, maybe the problem was always me and I would be a doomer no matter if I had been born a zoomer, a boomer, a genX or even a thousand years in the past………

The paradigm shift was smartphones and social media, it actually happened in 2007, the year twitter, facebook and tumblr became mainstream, It fucked internet culture up. Remember the slogan for smartphones? "a computer for everybody". Now all media was polluted by tech illiterate morons who would not have been on the internet just one year prior because PCs were "scary" and for white nerds who were invested in their hobbies, cellphones on the other hand is something a soccer mom and a college stacy can relate to and handle easily. These new people who would otherwise be busy with realiuty tv and mainstream sportsball are the ones driving media culture now. And all media in online and all media is attach to social media, so theres goes the neighborhood. You can`t have a niche for too long without it being overrun by people who probably hate the creators and core users anyways but still impose their own standards.
That major shift demographics that overtook everything means marketing is completely centered around the new common lowest denominator, so all of those hobbies are perpetually fucked and why now all will avirtue signal with the mainstream sjw cause of the day. In the 00s i used to play vidia and be all sorts of nerdy hobbies to get away from those people, now you are forced to stop consuming the same media to get away because those hobbies have been completely co-opted and not only that but have become a platform of persecution that is hostile towards their core user base and political echo chambers when before they were not political at all (see anita sarkeesian, "the end of gamers", the last of us II fake reviews and wokeness in comic books".
The case of videogames is sad, it was so innovative and promising as a medium, i guess still is but on the small scale, AAA houses are even worse than hollwood now. We are looking at a few years of stagnation and a lot of disenchantment.

We probably are close in age. Being alienated and disenfranchisez is not generation exclusive but each generation has its own symbols and images.
In my case think it would be the same for me and any era. When i was in HS i felt like the ps2 was one of those things that were out of my grasp but i could be happier and more well adjusted procuring, the bigger picture is i was isolated socially and economically and really could not take part in any of the social circles that i wanted to take part in even when i felt i could belong if i could have X or Y , like Tantalus punishment. The more i matured the more i realized that the chasm between me and other people that engaged in collectives was not something simply resolved with materialism., that it was just a shit cope. I would not have been any more loved or valued anyways, the real factor was always me, and the perpetual search for a locus of external motives is not sane. I see antifa retards and consoomer good goys falling for this shit, is all signaling belonging to a group, oversocialization and blaming the rest of the world for their own issues. Is disgusting how they are being played by devious actors with an agenda.
The 90s were also definitely special here in my country, it wasnt the best of times but things were still massively better than in the 00s when the country fell for the communism meme. Pretty much everyone my age remembers the 90s as "the time we were happy but didn`t knew it". It is perpetually enshrined like that for us.

Mainstream anglo media was sjw before
sjw even became the go to buzzword toconvey the the virtue signaling antics of corporations and post modern marketing. It really started happening when the whole "corporations are people" became widespread. If a fucking brand is a person then that brand would tryhard try to fit with whatever arbitrary moral standard of the day to be seen as a "good person" . But corporations are not actually people, a factory with a logo plastered on the front is not your buddy buddy, their campaigns always come off as fucking aliens missunderstanding basic humanity. And of course theres always fanatics and social rejects tagging along, they used to have to send phsysical letters to pontificate , now they have twiter.
If you are old enough you remember very well all the PSAs from the 90s about Aids, about drugs, about kids who had divorced parents, about accepting basketball americans too, and about working mommys and kids with 2 daddies, there was a speech like that in almost all media. Sonic the hedgehog cartoon had a PSA after every single episode, the Ninja turtles preaching about peer pressure and just say no was the sjw at the time , the only thing that changed are the topics because Shekelcorp would do market research and find out what spicy moral take is spicy among the teens right now and go with that. There was a lot of reasons a media product could get censored and a creator to be cancelled in the 80s and 90s, a million but standards used to be more inclined with the mainstream Neocon evangelical landscape of the day and now is tilting more to the opposite political spectrum. The sjw crowd is just a rebranding of the old neocon karens who wanted to censor everything perceived inmoral and too edgy, most of their arguments are the same.
Americans can`t help it either, their society is puritanical since its inception, they have a peculiar mindset that not even other christians have, is all about purity tests, self hating as a moral virute, and witch hunts and mass humillition rituals with constant virtue signaling, even when is secular they tend to unite as a mob to behave like this. Is going to pass eventually and be replaced with something else, for a time we may actually see a reaction take to sjw fatigue and suddenly a lot of raunchy Anti PC media gets popular, like it happened in the early 00s when everything was in your face offensive shit for the sake of being offensive just because it became rebellious after the last decade of sanctimonious whitewashed cartoons and obsenity trials. Remember when twisted sister had to go on court to defend themselves because they said naughty words on a record? Nowadays you have the new moral crusade and shit like Pic related, is all part of the same mindset. Even the simpsons in the 90s had an episode about sjws cancelling tommy and daly, the sopranos had one about people taking down Columbus statues because muh colonialism, it was 20 years ago.

Usually great things happen when lucky people are both great at their craft and also happen to have the connections and charisma to reach places. Most of the time its just charisma alone that makes the most difference. "shit floats" as we say. Even more in my county, this is a kakistocracy after all.

the cycle goes like that, they will eat each other until there is a universal consensus that shit is retarded and maybe we should retcon on the witch hunts a bit, it wll probably make companies loose money as backlash increases and then is over. then a few years later they start another crusade with another excuse. I think even normies with PC inclinations are getting fatigued of this shit, the only ones pushing harder are literal autists and brigaders that do`t represent 2% of the world population.

Holy shit that pic, who the fuck cares? how does that crap take prevalence over the description of the actual movie? it should be at most an opt-in warning for dumb triggered cunts
Anyway, those PSAs of the 90s were really basic stuff because at the time you already had a generation or two of kids literally raised by TV so of course their piece of shit useless parents instead of doing their job demanded the TV raised them "properly" for them, but again it was really basic innocuous stuff. Now there arent even those shitty PSAs at the end, the entire media is the PSA and its so blatant and insistent that its borderline brainwashing. I remember 90s movies being way more offensive, by the early 00s specially after 9/11 burgers went all sensitive and shit, and the left began sucking islamic cock so of course you cant make jokes about backward retards anymore because thats what racist imperialists like bush do. So suddenly the burger right were a bunch of PTSD-riddled idiots and the left were becoming the prototype of the always offended, impotent rage retards they are today
Agree on the rest, worst part is that the burger cultural cancer is spreading as always, even to my fucking collapsing country, as if I didnt have enough shit on my plate now this

Don't get me wrong, i always liked americans, i grew up close to that country in every aspect and have family that lived there for a long time, i have always put my chips with America winning whatever they had troubles with. but that bad habit of america forcing its thumbs up everyone's ass is really getting cancerous. They already inherited that way of behaving with other countries from Britain and all their jewish subversives in their elites certainly don' t help
>cue in a million essays from burguer diplomats about why Japan needs mass inmigration and be more diverse or why Eastern Europe needs Gay Pride parades
It used to be a lot easier to stand by americans 50 years ago, they were the better alternative rather than having soviet guerrillas install dictatorships and burn your culture but now the pyromaniacs seem to be coming from the USA themselves. A lot of countries should rethink the degree of allegiance with anglos otherwise their sinking everyone with them while China and Rusia giddly watches in the distance.

The rusos are full capitalist now, none of them want to go back to commieville, is just that they are authoritarian-capitalists, like peronists, which still sucks fucking ass. The chinos arent that far from that, still commie shit but as the party members get richer and richer thanks to capitalism the commie part is becoming a front, they are also authoritarian-capitalists and its more like "capitalism for me, not for thee" towards the common chinese who cant get into the party
But burgers now are going through a cultural revolution, they literally go for shit like "guilty until proven innocent, if we even bother to" and the shit happening in the media are literal struggle sessions, even the chinks are laughing at them
