Finishes updating? Pfffft we didn't have updates back then

[–] jade52@lemmy.ca 13 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

I know right? This meme was made by the youth.

[–] StumblingWasabi@lemmy.today 1 points 12 hours ago

Not disagreeing, but it could also just be dream logic.

Definitely, since being in your 30's is far from being too late to meet someone. Only a kid/tween would cry about thinking they would be alone in their thirties.

during my time, we always had updates, just they came via the cd of your favorite game magazine.

This is a mean meme

Waking up alone in my 30s would have been the best financial circumstance of my adult life.

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 6 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

In my 30s, got kids, family, friends even. Still game on occasion. No shame in being 30s.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago

This meme isn't about you lol. It's about people who didn't achieve what we did. About those who are perpetually online/gaming and don't manage to meet someone.

It's not a post saying being in your 30's is a bad thing.

Good times, except the "online" for us was invariably at LAN parties with adhoc SC Broodwar tournaments, Halo CtF & FFA, and WoW Alterac Valley shenanigans.

[–] yeahiknow3@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 17 hours ago

Many such cases.

If you are gaming with your friends online, does that really make you alone tho?

[–] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

I took it there's a decade or two before the last panel

[–] ParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago

If it was a dream, yeah?

I dont know why the image isn't loading for me, was this deleted?

[–] HexesofVexes@lemmy.world 9 points 22 hours ago

You don't want to look. The level of emotional damage it inflicts is just too damn high.

[–] ekky@sopuli.xyz 1 points 22 hours ago

Still works on Lemmy's web interface, but I don't recognize the hosting service.

A gamer doesnt have this last panel experience as some folks are ace. seems someone got incels mixed up with gamers again. once again someone who hates gamers. get a hobby bro. maybe take up gaming.
