school-refusal hikki

I was fifteen. I was on the verge of what I am today. By sixteen it was ogre.

I was 15.
So basically being miserable in High School.

Primary school, had just one ""friend"" who turned out to be a piece of shit, didn't have a computer so I watched TV all day
Went on a shitty vacation with my grandma and cousin where he befriended a bunch of kids who hated me for some reason and after a few days I got violently sick
So it sucked ass but that can be said about most of my childhood

The Nintendo DS looked like shit in 2004.
Nintendo DSi XL > Nintendo DS

In second grade, remeber trading pokemon cards alot

I was fifteen and in school like a gud boi

I was 4 years old. Played outside a lot, read a lot as well. Couldn't decide between being an astronomer or an Olympic athlete. Things have changed.

That's because you're a zoomer. The original DS felt like it was original, well made, like you were actually holding something, and not like some zoomer smartphone candy bar that are all the same breakable feature creeped garbage with ironically no originality.

Age 13-14. Weird kid who was friendly with a bunch of people but didn't have a set clique or friend group. I was really into Final Fantasy X-2 and the band Franz Ferdinand. Played guitar a bunch, wanted to be a musician.
Oh man that was me by 2007. My sympathies user.

>Was 12 in 2004
>Literally remember nothing from back then
>tfw extremely shitty memory

It was a rough year. I was 16 and suffered from depression and suicidal thoughts from January to July or so. Starting from August, things started to improve and I was pretty happy by December. I still rate the year 0/10.

>actually likes some shitty looking ass console

That was the year I started smoking and doing droogz

>wtf it's not a flat piece of paper?
>wtf it's hardware actually matters too?
It was original. Not everything had touchscreens, it having texture helps you feel it in the dark, keep from dropping it, it makes it more sturdy, bakayaroo. AND it gives it personality, the originality. Why old computers look better.

I know that not everything had touchscreens.

I'm saying that looks like shit, I like how the Gameboy SP looks and it doesn't have a touchscreen, 'cause it looks so fucking good.

The original Nintendo DS could be the best console of the world but if the console looks like shit, looks like shit, I'm not saying that it's bad just for that.

>>wtf it's not a flat piece of paper?
The Gameboy SP it's a cube, and it looks beautiful

The g a m e b o y S P looked basic as shit. Just a square.

You literally are a z o o m e r with no fucking taste because you're used to everything looking like flat shiny pieces of nothing. They're afraid to do anything original now days. Things like laptops used to be random shapes and had trackballs and shit the farther you go back. The S P looked worse than the original G B A, it had zero personality and you could mod your G B A at flea markets to have backlights anyway, and put lithium batteries in it yourself anyway.

Gameboy SP was the last handheld I owned.

The left and right buttons were hard to use though. I have a classic GBA too, and I prefer that one except that I don't think it had a built in screen light.

Just started Uni. I remember the first night and had to go out with my normalfag room mates to celebrate. We went into the student club and I hated it, just stood in the corner with all the other losers like a pleb.

Well that "square" looks good.
The Nintendo isn't original is a rectagle, a evolution of the Nintendo SP, it's the almost the same.
The Nintendo SP and the GBA look great, both consoles look great.

So original equals a random shape to you? :$
>le a random shape so original lol :33

junior in HS, cutting classes to go read mango at borders

Planning to become a hikikomori. It sounded a lot cooler back then.

kindergarden i was like 5 or some shit

I was 5 and was being mistreated everyday. I think it was the year where they marriage of my parents begun to break

Freshman in High School. Now I'm a broken shell of a man. So not much has changed.

I was 19, just started college. I got my first job in 2004 too, I used to clean the school my mother worked at after hours. Bad pay, but I saved up for a ps2 with that.

I remember when the ds came out and I got one game which was tony hawks skate or something and never played it

I was 4. I was either watching documentaries on or reading about prehistory or trains. I would get all pissy because media like Barney and Jurassic Park wouldn't have essential facts imbued in them. Around 5 I started playing Kirby Airride, my very first video game.
Even when taking my heavy-set nostalgia goggles off and seriously analyzing it; I can safely say its my favorite game of all time.
I had a very cushy, fun, and meaningful childhood; I can trace my current facets to specifics of myself then. Too bad my teenage years greatly contrasted it, having self-harmed attempted my first suicide at 15 and attempting 2 more by the time I was 17.
I doubt I'll ever be able to solve the mystery of early maturity being a blessing or a curse.

11 and my life was perhaps at the lowest point due to family troubles. I have spent a long time trying to forget these memories.

16, Sophomore in high school. I have one of the original NDS, played 2 games on it, and that's it. Same happened with the Vita. Games are boring when you get older.

Wow, I remember everything going back to when I was 3 and a half years old.

It's weird, I see everyone else talk about how they remember stuff from back when they were little kids, but I can barely remember anything before around 2010 or 2011, and even those times feel very "foggy" to me. I don't drink alcohol or do drugs, but my memory is still mostly gone.

It may be trauma, man. My dad attempted to kill me and my siblings when I was 8, now I can't remember anything.

I know that nothing that bad happened. I am diagnosed with Asperger's though, and I've heard that can affect memory.

fuckkkkkk the memories of being in third grade and playing rayman deep into the night come flooding back just looking at that pic.

Don't recall, I was like 6 yo.

an annoying as fuck bush proto-sjw commie and fedora lord atheist HS freshman.

No friends, my day consisted of wake up, eat breakfast (cooked by my dotting mother ofc), go to school, come home, play vidya for an hour or two, eat dinner, and then go to bed.

I wish things were that simple again.

Good times. Dad drove almost 200km round trip to buy a DS for me. Miss you, dad =(

At home wondering how a 5 year old could get his grubby little hands on a Gameboy advance

I remember being angry at nintendo for releasing another handheld that I couldn't afford.
(If I got a handheld then my brothers would demand them too because that's fair, it was much more economical for my parents to buy me a home console and then make it a family unit than buy each brother a handheld that was his own.)

12 years old, taking AP high school classes

I went to college at 13. They thought it would be funny to get me high. It's good, they said. You'll have fun, they said.

I work at a Denny's.

>trusting college students with a 13 year old child.
You're parents deserve a good gassing.

I was 12, a complete piece of shit already, and I thought "Well at least I'll never be a loser lol".

Oh how wrong I was.

I was 4, so like idk

Freshman in high school
Had friends, managed to ask out a senior and "dated" her for a few weeks which was basically awkward phone conversations and when she invited me to a concert my mom said no lol
I got some cred as the freshman who dated a senior though, which led to me dating a few more girls.

I was 18 i had to repeat another high school year

I was 12/13. I was "home schooled" with my brother, and by "home schooled" I mean taught for the first few weeks, then we just hung out and played video games. I think I had a gamecube at that point.

Dat chu, Kevin?

Nope, not even close. In the most original way possible.

I was still in high school. Used to watch a lot of "extreme sports" that I thought was the shit. Now looking back, I realized how much of a fucking loser I was.

i was 17, not miserable or anything but definitely busy getting cucked hard by the jocks at my school

Same here. I wish I had been homeschooled or at least had been doing homeschool work in a library.

My sister too borrowed my original DS and broke it. She doesn't remember how she broke it though
Man it was such a great handheld, can't beat that

14, don't remember much from that year except for the summer, which I spent the entirety off playing FFXI.

Good tomes.

>okay with removing gba support
zoomer spotted

I was 11 either playing my gamecube or playing outside with my dog. Essentially when I became completely isolated.

Second grade. Had a teacher with huge tits that year that I would stare at all day.

>11 yo

Watching Spider-Man 2 on VHS.

I was 13 years old, turning 14 years old. So I think I was graduating middle school and entering high school.

I was pretty popular back then. Everything went to shit socially halfway thru high school.

>not still owning your gba, sp, ds, and ds lite for that
>shiggydiggy

18...wtf how can that be even possible?
It feels so unreal.

4th grade. Actually the last grade I felt happy I guess.

"Upgrades" in the same generation shouldn't lose functionality. I'm not eliminating an entire game library so I can take pictures of myself and have a apple istore on my game console.

I was 9 and in elementary. Probably playing ps2 and pokemon and being carefree.

I was in my Freshman-Sophomore year in high school.

>there are people ITT who were too young to go to high school in 2004
Kill yourselves

I think I was still wearing tripp pants at the time.

>6 years old and in 1st grade
>had a "boyfriend" that I kept flashing my underage panties to each recess
>really starting to miss those simple days

I was on Jow Forums, except we didn't call each other's niggers every five seconds, and there were a lot more pedophiles on /b/ we also had better memes, like porkslope and Bosnian.

>be sitting on kitchen floor doing whatever
>mom is nearby
>ask her how old I am
>she says I'm 4
This is my first and earliest memory

That's truly amazing fren

I was 8 years old in 2004

Getting in trouble in class because teacher thinks I talk too much. Always get out of my seat and shit. Teacher tells my dad I have adhd. Dad says thats bullshit and he's not taking me to the doctor. So the teacher isolates me to the back of the class. Kids think Im a weirdo. Give zero fucks. Also, played a shit ton of n64 and gamecube. Kirby airride, mario party and kirby and the crystal shards were my favorite. Played mario party alone because only child with zero friends. Read tons of books. Life was kinda boring but much more simple

>well made
to date its the only nintendo console or handheld that's broken on me.

14-15 years old, spent my time trying to impress a real life friend group I didn't fit in with. Too young to get a job, playing VCOD:UO in a clan. One of the guys that was older than me in my TS2 server bought me a copy of WoW and from there it was all ogre. We raided crossroads daily for fun on Destromath, and I finally found where I belong. They would reach out to me, they would want me to be around. That felt nice. I got heavy in to the emo, metal scene and turned in to an emo kid. I don't regret a thing.

.starfy
starfy good :3

I was 14 and so hyped for the DS. I saved up all summer for that bastard and it just made me look like a loser playing it at lunch with nerds. I was on my way to being a Brad before that.

Was 14. 8th grade - 9th grade.

Was mainly playing on old Battle.net (Diablo II, Warcraft III) and making shitty ytmnd's. Started playing WoW later that year. Lost a bunch of friends as they added another high school in the county, and the dividing lines resulted in a lot of students from my middle school going there.

Started isolating myself more and more in the transition to 9th grade due to no longer being in the same classes (was thrown into a scholars program). This never really changed. I ended up getting involved in a bunch of stuff that I wasn't that interested in to appease my parents (football, baseball, band, robotics, etc).

I was in highschool. I had a gf and I hated school and I didn't know what to do. Im no longer in school but I still hate the way my life is. I no longer have a gf though. Overall it wasn't that bad and it isn't that bad nowadays either

4 years old. I got trips IRL
