It's picked clean off the good stuff.

>vice
go away.

But my appartment is already a boomer tech landfill

Also Dave from EEVblog already did a video on it and is right, everyone already took the good stuff. What's left are boxes of moldy documentation, faulty 5-ton niche equipment like microcontroller development kits with missing components and dumb terminals from the 70s that nobody wants.

Getting up at 5am and playing Sonic 2 really quietly in the lounge. Four year old me got up to Wing Fortress Zone once, and I was so fucking proud.

It's hard to see in this photo, but on the second shelf of the metal rack there is my Playstation 2. It's the best console because it was the last before internet became a part of gaming. Back then, games were finished when you bought them.

Just reinstalled Windows 3.1 and dune on my 286....

>gigapet
In retrospect it sucks compared to a real tamagotchi

I played one of those at a friends house when I was like 8. I already had an NES, though, so I saw it more as a curiosity than anything else. Still played it, though. He had that god-awful Kool-aid man game.

Fucking christ I wonder how much that thing weighs. My tiny CRT I got for 10 bucks weighs 35kg.

To be fair to your dad though, it's your mom's fault that she married an idiot.

Windows 3.1 was my actual first OS
It would crash sometimes loading from DOS kek

this is actual 60yo boomer tech
30 yo boomer tech is classic iPods, PS2, iBooks, and aiwa bookshelf stereos

Dibs on the IBM 1401, that's a man's computer

People just took the most of the trendy light stuff that can be easily sold. Dave still found a TRS-80, an Amiga 2000, and a VIC-20. There's still interesting things like DEC PDP stuff and tons of books and manuals.

>30 yo boomer tech is PS2

I'm 32 and my first vidya system was an Atari 2600. NES existed but was too much money for my folks. You're off by a couple generations there.

30 y\o boomer tech is snes, genesis, and ps1

I'm 20 and when I was 8 this was all the rage. Why are y'all calling this a boomer tech?

The 30 year old slavic boomer's tech are chinky famiclones and 486 PCs

do something about those cables, homie

It's the English version of Futabu channel which is the edgy shut-in version of 2channel. 2channel is also 5channel now.

A man reminiscents about the great Atari 2600 games of his childhood but realizes that nostalgia is a hell of a drug and they were actually pretty shit

The 2600 had such limited hardware so the games were pretty shit. Anything older than the 5200 or Colecovision is hard to appreciate

Manly hands

Like your dick, hopefully

I remember how disappointed my dad was when his cassette of the soundtrack of The Mission I was listening to at the time got stuck in the player and I tore it getting it out. I learned how to fix ripped tape that day.

I like it. If the AR cart color being different bothers you, you can build an internal region switch mod and then get a generic memory card or 1M/4M cart instead.

Loving the Trinitron. Are those smaller CRT's RGB, by chance?

This is a boomer meme thread, isn't it?

I recently bought a 100hz woodgrain TV just for old consoles on the german craigslist equivalent, it's pretty nostalgic to play Battle City or SMB on it.

Y'all zoomers don't even smoke dank memes

that's actually really smart

This. 30yo boomer. PS1 was everything to me. RE:DC and RE2, RE3 and also, the first couple years of games on the PS2 (RE:CE, TWisted Metal Black). Obviously, original HALO:CE on original Xbox.

Windows XP and Windows 98 SE were my favs. WinMX, Kazaa and Limewire (mainly WinMX - the chat on it was awesome). mIRC. Angelfire and Geocities. FanFiction.net was THE place to write any fan fic.

*sip*
Those were goodtimes.

Because there's an invasion of literal children from /v/eddit forcing the 30 year old boomer meme.

Yeah. I'm 32 and SNES/N64 where my main system during my childhood (with some PC gaming). I remember NES but I think it was more during the early era of the SNES we had it.

The Pansonic on the bottom right is RGB.

I got the Trinitron because my neighbors were throwing it away recently. I had possibly the same model growing up and now the remote feels so small...

are these any good?

Looks like it

they went off the shelf and came back around 2005

the original ones were tiny as fuck

THE VOODOO3 IS ONLY 20 DON'T YOU FUCK WITH ME SON

Right, so if you're a boomer in your 30s, the Voodoo3 was the cool graphics card when you were a kid.

Millennials had Voodoo3s when they were kids. I think I was like 12 when I got one.

I miss the days when I played Baldur's Gate with my dad :(

I used to have a few of those, but my recent memory is from one my cousin gave me as he had a few (his mother used to dumpster dive a lot, I guess she got it from one as they barely had any money to spend on this shit) and we statred playing with those. It was around 13-15 years ago, somewhere in that range as I can't really don't differ those summers much, they all seemed same to me.

Anyways, I started fucking with mine. You had a few of them to chose (small chick, pig, cow or something like that, few of them I never knew what they were) and you'd do the rest. I managed to get the integer for weight go to 0 without it dying and then I did a reset and started over trying to see what else can be done as I started programming and I thought I was the shit back then. I managed to go full hackerman over it in a span of 2-3 weeks and managed to manipulate the weight and some other number. Negative weights, some unrealistic ones like 500kg etc.

Those were fun. First one I got I was maybe 3 so couldn't even remember I had to play it and it was like some huge yellow watch I used to carry around and getting mocked at kindergarten for having a huge yellow watch.
It was some cute dinosaur you had to take care of and I liked dinosaurs back then. Whenever he took a shit I showed everyone the blinking poop and how I clean it up with some shovel.

I'll probably go dig on ebay or some shit for that yellow one right now...
