I have a memory of getting annoyed because I kept writing 93 instead of 94 on my school work after the Christmas holiday was over

I was born 95, but I was the youngest kid. I was exposed to a lot of 90's stuff that I probably wouldn't have been if not for that, like the snes felt really crusty and old by the time I would have been old enough to get my own console, but I grew up mirroring the excitement of my older peers for stuff like SMW and Plok. I miss a lot of stuff from the 90's and I was only ever 4 or younger in it hahahaha
I was born in '91 and a lot of what I associate with the '90s actually are things from the early '00s. I think part of it is because we moved around that time so memories of my old house and things that were from the actual '90s sort of faded in my mind.
Time shifted childhoods are a thing. Especially when you have no internet and live in the middle of nowhere.
Being a "__s kid" means that's when you had your childhood. (From 5 or 6 to preteen-early teens) Even someone born in 97 isn't a 90s kid.
So me being born on the very tail tend of the 70 is an 80s kid? Tbh I feel more like a 90s kid as that's when I was a teenager
Being a kid doesn't start when you're a teenager.
people will form tribes for just about anything
Recently got asked by a youngster whether I know Pokémon.
Kid ... I was there, 3000 years ago at the beginning.
I tell my kids that any pokemon beyond the original 151 is a fake pokemon.
Get off my lawn!
Was it Youngster Joey? Did he show you his Rattata?
I sent him to the tower of souls same as I did with Gary. Never stop training
it took my mom and I half an hour to figure out how to leave the house when we first booted up pokemon blue
Son, I remember when people were confused about Mr. Game and Watch while I was fondly reminiscing about my first handheld while looking at my childhood through R.O.B colored glasses.
Bro. Blackjack on the studio II.
me when kids explain minecraft history to me
My kid is getting into Minecraft and it's so hard to not stop their excitement by being like "yeah, I know, I've been playing this for longer than you've been alive" because I love how excited they get learning about how to make basic shit (and they're playing ATM10,so there's a TON of shit they haven't even come close to seeing) and sharing that with me.
Reminds me of a time when my nephew was playing vintage Super Mario Kart and started trash talking me about how long they had been playing and that I didn't stand a chance.
"I was playing this since before you were born kid"
i prefer vintage story
"Kid you don't even know what Alpha means..."
All these zoomers thinking I'm a manosphere chud because I said I played minecraft alpha version 😣
