Does anyone else get extreme feels when they think about their childhood? I think back to Super Smash Bros, Mario Kart 64, Ocarina of Time, Pokemon Stadium, all those shitty VHS tapes I watched a hundred times, watching TV every morning with my brother (in jail now), watching playoff hockey with my dad at 1:00 AM, everything. It was all so perfect.
Please, take me back...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtMllWsML5M
This is giving me mad feels right now...
I can't handle these feels.
>Watching the same episodes of Scooby Doo Where Are You over and over on VHS
>>675179335
It's called nostalgia, most people get it for shit from their childhood or stupid things.
I think of the Ninja Turtles cartoon, playing Frogger with my dad, getting to stay up late to watch Beavis and Butt-Head, my friend who was always wondering what nipples were.
I hear ya. I wish for the same thing.
>>675179335
I hate my childhood. I was alone and the only thing i had was Sega, my dog and cartoons.
However my mother was alive then...so its a mixed feeling i guess.
Nostalgia, hate/love it, I want to kill myself everytime I feel it. But OP it wasn't all so perfect, you just remember those moments better.
>>675179683
People and situations like you make me want to kill myself, as I have it all and still don't appreciate anything.
>>675179335
childhood life is 100x more intense than adult life for most people. it's normal to feel that way.
things just fade to grey as you get older as you learn to care less and less. your formative experiences in life generally are your best (or worst).
you'll never have more intense experiences, better friends, worse enemies, bigger disappointments, hotter girls, bigger crushes, etc etc etc than you did as a kid. It's just how life works.
>>675179939
This. We choose to remember the good times and ignore the bad times when looking back, unless it was something tragic. Coupled with the fact that not much can really be bad when you're young (things that sucked were generally hidden from the kids), our pasts are viewed through rose colored glsssed
>extreme feels
I get more nostalgia from my teenage years than childhood years. I mean, thinking back to it, ages 13-16 really sucked and I was miserable and life got better since then...but that feeling I get when hearing something like this

"I'd give all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday"
>>675180274
What about literally yesterday?
Ratchet & Clank,Mario Kart DS,Tony Hawk's Underground,Smash Bros(even by myself)...the only crap thing I had going in my life then was going to Mass(church)every Sunday because the big Jesus nailed to the cross at the altar freaked me the hell out...but seriously,take me back any day
>>675180148
>>675179335
I named my son Link to honor the memories of my youth in the hope that his life will be as joyous and adventurous as mine.
looking back at how stupid of a child I was doesn't make me nostalgic but like they say, ignorance is bliss.
Of course,I'm a big atheist fag now,but still...
>>675179555
fucking hell. nearly 20 years ago? i can still remember the exact moment i booted this up playing it for a few hours. i skipped school and everything. just fucking wow. time....it fucking flies ; ;
>>675180148
This is true in the burbs.
In the life experienced by the majority of people in the world childhood is a rehearsal for the big stage. The intensity stays the same but you develop different needs and have a stake in it all. There is also the terrible heaviness of responsibility to give it all drama that has to be taken seriously.
Modern urban civilisation and the fluffy suburbs were created to escape from 'real life', where being 'close to nature' means getting a seed stuck in your teeth that leads to an infection that causes a heart condition and you die at 32 with plenty of real friends, enemies, goals and wishes all left behind.
Nostalgia is poison, you go around once, be afraid of too much comfort if it's letting you spend much time thinking of toys you played with before you were ten.
>>675179555
It's the most overrated game of all time thanks to retarded nostalgiashitters like you.

This. I went back and played it, it's awful. The only good parts are the Ice Cavern, the Gerudo Training Ground and the last fights with Ganondorf/Ganon.
the rest of the game is just a dumb, easy chore. I don't know why I played so much of it when I was a kid.
I had a shitty childhood on the whole, but I still get nostalgic for the first time I played through those N64 classics, attitude era wrestling, VHS recordings of my favourites, C&C Red Alert 1, top down GTA etc.

samefag with limited knowledge of thing in general.
I sat and watched someone play turok 2 seeds of evil on youtube because it was the first game my brother showed me how to play. I still remember the master cheat code... he went to afghanistan and never came back.
I listen to sittin at a bar, by rehab, and I remember buying a house with my wife who was my first girlfriend and my true love, we refinished it that summer listening to it on the radio. My life left me and the house was sold years ago.
The long drive to my parents house was lined with honeysuckle, and the slightest whiff takes me back to the days of riding the bus and smelling summer on its way, knowing that I'll be home before I know it, and mom and dad will play outside with me and teach me how to garden and care for animals... The house was torn down after my mom died and dad went to a nursing home.
My nostalgia isn't so many happy memories, but more a reminder that everything I've loved ended up leaving me in some way.
I don't want to live in this head anymore.
>>675179555

After all that your parents taught you about life, you honor their memory by being a retard who doesn't know how to live life again?
pfft you don't deserve to live.
Sitting at my grandmother's tiny yellow house with an n64 playing ocarina of time, box fans sitting on the floor because no a/c.
sitting criss cross in front of the huge magnavox tv that made a hissing sound and took 10 whole seconds to display the image after you turned it on.
changing to channel 3 to be able to play the game. Bologna sandwiches in hand.
playing outside looking for bugs and playing on the trampoline, then heading back inside at dark and waiting for wheel of fortune to go off so we could play the nintendo again.
also pic fuckin related
I kinda wish I could go back

Nostalgia, it hits hard because it is something that now only exists in your memories. People feel it with their own past or even a time period they never been a part of. Btw, what did your bro do?
>>675183136
Everyone who played the game as an adult
Every child will either think it's a stupid name or a lame video game from the past, like calling your kid pac man.
>>675183555
It's a more popular name these days. Not unusual at all.
>>675180256
This.
Childhood didn't mean shit to me either, I liked being a teen in the mid 2000's. Good and bad but damn, highschool was awesome. I went to a bullshit college and now as an adult in the real world, nothing will ever compare or dethrone it for me unless if I become rich and live an adventurous high life
i was in the 6th grade and watching pokemon on tv. good times.

I like threads like this, just because of the nostalgia and remembering the good times as a kid.
I got picked on a lot (because sperg), so my main escape was video games. Pokemon Gold and Johto were my home away from home, and my house was in a real pretty spot in the summertime.
Of course, if I'd known the consequences of my teenage stupidity, I'd certainly have done that a lot differently, but when I was a young kid I remember being absolutely captivated by the hill my back yard used to be before we had the addition built on the house.
My old yellow lab as a puppy and watching her go.
Fighting Red on Mt. Silver for the first time. Taking down Ganon and watching adult Link strike those final blows.
Hearing the prelude play after beating FF9.
Standing up to some of the ocean waves at the state park and laughing like a retard when one knocked me down.
I can't recapture any of it, but maybe I can use that nostalgia and create with it...
>>675184770
Was she named after the original Zelda game or Link to the Past?
>>675179335

Your childhood was remarkably similar to that of Elliot Rodger.
>>675180148
I didnt have to worry about bills, finding a job, getting a career, having to put up with bullshit more as a kid granted I didn't care much for my childhood. If you live in a city, the pressure gets a bit intense even today.

your brain has a huge bias towards idealizing events in your past. it tends to omit all the shitty things that were boring, or upsetting you, or annoying you at the time and just focuses on what made you happy, and because its all cloudy and fuzzy in your mind, it takes on a mysterious dreamy appealing form, and the lucid reality of now seems cold and unappealing. theres also the fact that memories are not to be trusted, chances are the things and events you remember from 10 or 20 years ago are not as much like your memory as youd like to think. if you actually went back there youd be surprised and disappointed at how different they are to the vision in your minds eye.
tl'dr your brain makes the past seem 100x better than it really was.
I remember Battletoads before it was a meme. I loved that game
>>675185768

http://www.kempa.com/robin-williams-prince-of-thieves/
>>675181981
Damn bro im almost there too. Keep at it.
tbh OP, I think alot of it has to do with a few factors. In comparison of our current life and our past life, our current is much more shittier in reality. Back then we literally had no worries. Who gave a fuck about school, paying bills, keeping your job, getting a gf, you didn't give a shit about what you look liked. We were in our own world ALL the time. We can't do that no more as grown ups. We realize all the hardships in real life and it fucking sucks but that's life.

I think shit got bad when 9/11 happened. I'm from NYC so I know from a 11 year old perspective, how bad it was. People became paranoid when they heard planes, bomb threats at schools, anthrax in the mail that made people so afraid to even check their mail box, armed guards at Manhatten, people stocking up on supplies in case another terrorist attack, islamaphobia at all time high. There were counselors that use to come to our classes to talk to us about what happened and what is going on in the news. That was all 2001 and it cooled down after 2002. If anything, 9/11 is what contributed to the recession. Many businesses lost at the towers. For me, mid 2003 to 2007 was the shit though.
For me it was Runecape 2.

i was in a similar situation as a 14 year old in 2002. being bullied having a hard time at school, and took solace in dark age of camelot. totally hooked on it would get home from school at 4pm and play it til 10pm every night, just think about it all day at school. this went on for a year or so, i was basically living for that game and totally neglecting the rest of my life at a key point in my development, because real life was so shit but in the game i was happy and respected.
not sure it did me any good tbh, i think it probably retarded me socially

I got the feels hard for you're thread mate. You're older sis used to beat your ass in mario kart, then clean the house and make dinner? That was my life.

Ill take you back in time brother, I grew up with you. We are the older 20s almost 30s generation. You will be ok. I remember my sister punching my arm hard if I beat her on rainbow road. Then she would clean the house, make lunch and dinner for me. She was the cool Kelly Bundy hot 80s girl. She would look out for me, forge my moms name on school forms and report cards. Then she would watch Scooby Doo, play vid. games with me, and punch me if I won. Good old times. We will never get them back brother, Just know that you are not alone. We all long for the 90s days when ur older sis would take care of us, forge our moms name, play video games with us, then make us lunch. We've all been there. Man, the 90s were diamonds. Perfect. I would give everything I own to go back into those innocent 90s (older cool sis looking out for us) arcade playing blockbuster renting days.
>>675188133
Did you ever have any suicidal tendencies?
I was thinking about the game so much I didn't bother. Knowing how bad the bullying was for me, I would have suicided and or pull an hero. If Runescape was not there for me.
i was a kid in the 80s and even though being a kid and not giving a fuck is part of the nostalgia, i realize now how awesome it was. good music. no internet or twitter shit (we didn't care for others opinions back then). kids were able to able to actually play and explore the neighborhood or go the park alone as long as we were home before dark.

i never really thought about suicide as a kid, the way i saw it, my real life could be really shit but as long as i had my games i would always have something to live for. it wasnt until i became an adult and games could no longer fill the voids in my life that i became severely depressed and began to consider my options. even though i was an intelligent child and constantly told i had good prospects by teacers, i never did anything with it and my life has pretty much been skimming along rock bottom since leaving school. i think if you are singled out and getting shit throughout your school life, then its one of those things which either makes you or breaks you, unfortunately i think it broke me.

thanks for asking man, it really does mean something. She got a tit job, got married, and became a nurse. I remember her forging our moms name on all school forms. If I just wanted out of school for a day she would call and pretend to be my mom. She was so fucking cool. I used to skip school and watch her shows with her (Little house on the prairei and Days of Our Lives). She was the main care taker in my life. My mom was a bon bon eating always gone nothing. My old man was good, but was never around. My older sis was the coolest. She love to beat my ass in Mario Kart. She would always get me out of trouble (was an artist who could forge anyones name). Cool as shit. Shes still kickin, were all old now, but man, just to have one of those old 90s days back. I'd give my left nut to be 12 again and playing mario kart with her.

Hear you bro. Wish we could both go back in time and play Mario Kart with my sis. Such a good time, nothing better than the 80s and 90s. My older sis could forge anyones name in 10 minutes. She would always get me out If I needed a day off of school. My parents were around, but she was pretty much my main care taker. Showd me how to be cool, got me out of class and signed most of my report cards. Played Mario Kart like a bitch. Beat my ass if I won. Had to watch her shows. Got nintendo power in the mail. Good fucking times man. We will never get them back. But lets never forget.

Yes, I get terribly nostalgic all the time. Most recently I was thinking about when I was young, going to the video store with my dad and older brother.
My dad would pick out a few movies and let my brother and I pick out a game, and it was just something the three of us did together regularly and I hadn't thought about how much I cherished those moments in a very long time. We never do anything together anymore..

Making you watch Ricki Lake and Days of Our Lives? Good times. Never will we get them back. But we have the memories. I feel you. Have a anon hug bro. Take it inch by inch.
I actually really wanted to hang out with friends back then. I could see my dad then, I did good in school back then. Someone please take me back for one last ride.
I remember play Ocarina of Time with my buddy almost every Saturday. I wouldn't even touch the game until he came over. I also remember throwing away Serias' Ocarina when I got the Ocarina of Time. My friend was like " Dude, why didn't you sell it?". To this day, I still don't know why.
Good times

I want to take you back brother. Remember Nintendo Power Magazine? Remember your older sibling knew all the cool bands and could drive you around? Remember when yoyos became a thing again? Help me help you bro. Say a word, and Ill try to nostalgia it for you. I grew up in the 90s, I want you to feel all the feels you can get. Remember your cool older sister pretending to be your mom when the school called? Lets feel all the nostalgia bro.
