I just feel more relaxed living like pic-related. Just playing older games, watching older media, listening to older music. Only using my phone for calls. No social media whatsoever. Not paying attention to e-celeb shit or anything trending. I think if you also reminisce about the 2000s, you should think about adopting this lifestyle as well. Yeah you can't exactly recreate the past page for page but it's not really about that. It's about being surrounded by your nostalgia for your personal comfort, while also rejecting modern society. Just make your room look like pics-related, get a window unit AC, play some older games. It's that simple. Bonus if you can move to a quiet small town. You'll realize how much life becomes more relaxing when you stop participating in modern society.

>>542462 Sounds like a terrible fucking idea OP. I think sitting at home and only doing shit that you enjoyed 20 years ago is dumb as fuck. That stuff was fun back then because it was new and you were young. It was fresh and you were so of course it was great. For example skyrim was great but I have already done everything in it. Their is nothing left to really do for me and its aged. It looks bad and is basically stale for me. It doesn't matter how good it was. Playing skyrim all day sucks but bg3 is fun. The problem with bg3 was that I'm still not 16 again. Its best to try new things that you are likely to enjoy and get shit done that will cause stress. You are telling anons to live in a fucking rut. Stopping doom scrolling is good but the rest of your advice is bad.
>>542466 >"Waaaah! Stop enjoying old stuff and consoom new stuff instead!"

>>542477 >implying I said to stop doing things you enjoy Never said that shitskin and consumption is part of life. A man must consume things to live and this extends past food. Doing the same thing everyday will rot the mind. No one with a brain can play skyrim until he dies over and over again.
>>542466 TES V Skyrim is the ultimate zoomer game with OMG DRAGONS GIMMICK (which is another incredibly zoomer gimmick)
>>542462 That is the perfect life. Surround yourself only with what you like. Discard everything else. Life is about happiness and contemplation. Not about struggle or duties.
>>542478 No, it isn't, jew. A man must avoid all jewish things, including consumption of products and services sold by jews. Life is better without ever paying for anything and without participating in any economy. Reject the economy. Never be a part of the economy.

>>542466 >>542478 I notice in nostalgia threads there's always that one guy who complains about nostalgia and enjoying old things. I'm not saying you have ulterior motives but it really does come across as some kike wanting people to consume new product. Like can you imagine if the OP mindset was more widespread? These corporate jews would be in full panic mode. Also I don't know why you're stuck on this ideal to just play one game. Do you know how many games there were ever released? If I say just play stuff that was released 20 years ago, it would take years for you to get through every single game assuming you have a job. >>542483 Yeah but specifically old things to stick it to mainstream corporate consumerism
>>542462 >no social media This is social media
>>542496 No it's not. We're all anonymous and no one here posts pics of themselves.
>>542497 i posted my dick am i anonymous?

>>542495 I am a nostalgiafag too. TBH I agree with this anon: >>542478 >No one with a brain can play skyrim until he dies over and over again. I cannot play singleplayer games by myself as someone who actually spends my time alone. A new game every once in a while is enjoyable.
>>542499 >I cannot play singleplayer games by myself as someone who actually spends my time alone. Play a 2000s MMO private server
Honestly I think the true cutoff point for the 2000s wasn't actually 09, it was around 2012. Those years although in the 2010s, still had some leftover 2000s culture. Much like the early 2000s had late 90s culture. Anyways sure a [NEW THING] isn't going to hurt every once in a while. You might enjoy it. I'd personally pirate it which I think most anons on this site would already do.
I think a lot of new shit are built into with inherent design faults. Like things are more prone to breaking or you need to constantly upgrade it to even use it.
This is a pic of my setup, November '99. Happy to answer any questions.
>>542588 Also a more recent pic of the CD tower (barely visible left frame)
>>542588 Do you find that desks like that are better than the ones we have now that are often pushed out for PC setups? If you just type in PC setup on google images you'll see the same basic, minimalist sleek black desk with gay RGB lighting. I don't get why that appeals to so many fucking people. These old, boxed-in feeling wooden desks just felt more comfy and honestly more practical with what you can put on them.
>>542609 "Old" desks (not really old) were the weakest part of the setup. Rickety, couldn't lean on the keyboard drawer, sharp edges, mismatched keyboard to mouse pad height... Get a properly old piece of furniture, solid pine ikea anything just don't go back to slop shop MDF >>542495 Requesting to know what the glowy box is under the monitor
>>542611 Not him but that was to turn on and off peripherals like printer, speakers, child love photography scanners etc.
Also, The advent of people using UPSs with surge protection kinda let them fall by the wayside.
>>542609 >Do you find that desks like that are better than the ones we have now that are often pushed out for PC setups? Well, back then computers had so much more physical shit you had to keep around. You had your big-ass >CRT >computer tower >speakers >reams of blank paper >reams of shit you printed out >a big-ass scanner Not to mention >almost all of your software was on CDs >software came in boxes and sometimes they were cool and you wanted to keep them >software usually came with big-ass printed manuals you needed to keep >you probably still had a bunch of floppy backups you didn't want to get rid of yet So for THAT, the desks were AWESOME because they had a little nook or cranny for EVERYTHING. But that's not the case anymore. MAYBE you have a desktop PC with like an audio interface or something, but it's all more compact and self-contained. But you just don't need the storage so I might be inclined to go with the nueue desques you mentioned, because I think in general they look like they're nicer quality, and a good open space for muh hobbies. That's the other thing -- those old desks were super popular and I liked to go check out the display models in Office Max frequently. Everybody did. It was sweet. But unless you were working in an office, the ones you'd buy for your home were the cheapest pressed particle board shit you could imagine. Paper wood grain glued over it usually. Every single one of those desks had a cracked and crumbling area taped up somewhere. Like the other dude said, you really couldn't lean on the keyboard drawer.
>>542484 >No, it isn't, jew. A man must avoid all jewish things, including consumption of products and services sold by jews. You're so fucking stupid and don't know shit about anything. Avoiding consumption is to avoid production. How can one do anything without consumption? Without the purchase of goods one can't do anything. How are you going to build a house or even a porch without consuming? Obviously consumption of things that improves your life is good. Buying a game you enjoy that energizes you is also good in moderation. Personally I don't play video games anymore because they are a waste of time but to say buying a new game that is highly rated is consumer jew propaganda is fucking stupid. >Never be a part of the economy. More like never be successful goy. This dumb ass advice is the type of shit jews say to handicap you. I bet you would have told everyone to not buy a house a decade ago at a 2% interest rate because of muh usury. Those cheap ass loans were a literal IRL money glitch for anyone with basic knowledge of finance. The reason the jews don't allow for a proper financial education in the public school system is so that they can scam the goy out of their money and enslave them. You are promoting ignorance and the destruction of the white race. >>542495 > Do you know how many games there were ever released? If I say just play stuff that was released 20 years ago, it would take years for you to get through every single game assuming you have a job. I know their were a ton of games but they are mostly clones of the successful games of the era. Their are a lot less interesting games than their are games. The games of a given time period generally all rhyme together. Once you have played a couple games from the big genres of the time you have basically played them all. > I'm not saying you have ulterior motives but it really does come across as some kike wanting people to consume new product. Personally I don't know if I have ever experienced nostalgia so new and old gets rated fairly equally in my mind. I also have a fear of stagnation which probably makes me bias against doing old things that aren't objectively good to do. Living on the front foot and trying to propel myself into better situations is how I see new things. I don't like new things unless they are interesting or objectively better. Movies have gotten objectively worse over time so I actually prefer older ones. I like to watch black and white ones. That being said those movies are so old that they are new to anyone that isn't elderly. >>542572 This is why old appliances are goated >>542621 I need to upgrade to an old one
>>542634 >This is why old appliances are goated Yeah especially old consoles. They felt like bricks but in a good way. Consoles post Xbox 360 are very prone to damage from being unplugged, and you also get a limited amount of storage with how much gigabytes modern games take up. Also notice how companies are trying to do away with physical discs and condition people to buying digital. They have digital-only consoles and often have digital deals. I think the meme about "disc rot" is fucking bullshit. I still have plenty of old DVDs and CDs and none of them have deteriorated. Old phones are also unironically better than smartphones. Design-wise and in its simple use which should be just a fucking phone that you didn't need to replace every three years. I swear smartphones are the worst thing mankind has invented. >>542621 Surely there's desks that get rid of the design flaws like sharp edges and the keyboard drawer while keeping the aesthetic. I just can't stand the gay minimalist design like pic-related.
>>542642 >gay minimalist design Oh are THOSE the desks you're against? You know those are specifically "standing desks?" They are motorized to adjust height. There's a control panel you can see under the right side of the table. They kinda have to be designed that way for proper balance and safety.
