    wow people keep on coming up with such nice ways of saying "I'm 30 years old". I think this beats out "Yea, I've been around in the scene for a while haha"

      My way of choice is to say "I feel old" when people mention something they enjoyed as a kid that came out when I was an adult. For example the phrases "my childhood Nintendo Switch" or "I couldn't vote when Trump was elected" make my back hurt.

        That's different though, the people your age are so devoid of hope for the future that y'all aesthetics loop back around to early 2000s or even earlier because that's the last time technology was viewed in a good way for the future and y'all yearn for that

        In terms of videogames, this generation of games was one of the last to not have internet connectivity as a rule. Given the predatory practices the internet has enabled, I don’t think their resurgence is a coincidence.
