My best guess is when a lot of old people are gamers or ex-gamers.

You're right. On the other side there's quite some recent movies/shows that do the opposite. They are based on videogames related plots to attract young audience. Like the latest blockbuster "Free Guy".

 

Reusable velcro cable ties! Seriously awesome!

 

Hah!.. That and the Phone with Flashlight,
big leap forward for humanity on every field..

(In Spanish may be more funny tho, "el móvil con linterna", Xupito will know )

Does that make Gaffer tape analogue?

 

@BaSsDuDe puts in a bid to make the thread sticky - will it work?

 

Don't know but damn sure I root for it

 

Even though it falls under 'Nostalgia' in this thread, no Gaffer tape and Hamster jokes. This a PG thread.

 

Screw that. I'm just here for the laughs

 

Hamster was also supplied by Prominy - If I listen carefully I think I can hear its last gasps in there.

 

I saw Wasgedn's last gasp in the SC comments though! lol

 

OMG

 

Removed - silly/funny - but off-topic (look up
Drench Clever Hamsters Christmas song on youtube)

 

You only removed it when you had second thoughts about showing Xupito that Hamsters do great multi-instrumental blow jobs.
You can't tease him like that. We can't leave him guessing...

You do know a moderator is going to remove our posts?

 

I did actually provide one of the very few serious comments in the thread.
While waiting for other serious comments, surely some fun is OK, and this is the Lounge after all.
- where else do harmless wacky thoughts meander around?
Now if/when Xupito sues us maybe that's a different story.

 

Coming at you soon

Seriously, I can't leave guys alone. You @Ad Heesive even quoted my post on other thread. THAT'S DOUBLE CROSS OFFTOPIC!!!
Or something...

 

That's nice.
So you're broadening your horizons now.

And possibly our penises.

 

The Seven Samurai? 1954?
How old are you? lol
Oops. Read you as "for the last 20 years!"
MORE COFFEE!
For 100 years their industry has flourished, yes.

 

Now nostalgia is somewhat a matter dear to me, because I'm trapped in nostalgic loops, and this is something I don't like.
I mean, I like it, but more as a drug addicted likes cocaine.

I spend too much time looking at the past, thinking that the best is gone and nothing more is worth spending effort on.

It may be in part true because to be younger is in most cases better for many activities and opportunities, but the truth is that there are good events and bad events in any age.

Ancient romans used to say about this phenomenon "memoria praeteritorum bonorum" which translates as "the past is always well remembered (good)", no matter how bad it was (Oh the good old days...).
While I do not fully agree, I admit that many bad event of my past are at least sweetened, and at times forgotten.
Google for "rosy retrospection" if you want to dig in.

But to me about old music, yes, sure there is a nostalgic handle, but only let's say at 25/30%, maybe less. The rest because simply I like it, as I listen to today music if I like it.
If I listen "Africa" or "Shout" or "I'm not in love" it's not because of nostalgia, but because I fck like them.
I didn't live the 50's, nor the 60's, and yet I like Elvis, Berry, and many many others too.

Regarding tech, having used a lot vintage stuff (because digital was not a consumer option), I can say: fck them, I wouldn't come back even if the pay me.
Digital forever.

My last thoughts about nostalgia: I consider it a kind of (lite) mental disease, because it stucks me too much on what I was, and not what I am, can or could be now.

I suggest to view this video, it's long, about 30 mins, but if you're interested in time amenities, it's for you.

 

@orbitbooster
Watching!
edit:
God, that was a brilliant video. Thanks.
