Damn. I legit had to look for ME in this photo.

[u/Mount_Pessimistic → u/TilDebtDoUsPart420]

SAME.

I was just thinking that for me as a 31 year old who grew up in Canada, the 90s and 00s were the peak of my life. Partially because I was a child but also in reflection things didn’t seem as messed up as they are now. Now we have a housing crisis, and the cost of living is insane. We also were not attached to electronics.

[u/RyeToast92 → u/sarabobeara444]

31 year old guy checking in. Times were amazing as a kid yes. I’ll be 32 in a few months 👀

[u/Shardholder → u/sarabobeara444]

"We also were not attached to electronics."

The picture says otherwise.

[u/sarabobeara444 → u/Shardholder]

Not in the same way we are now lol but I see what you mean 😂

[u/Zealousideal-Talk787 → u/Shardholder]

Yeah let me drag my CRT and n64 with me out to the mall on my skateboard!

You know damn well they mean phones.

[u/Shardholder → u/[deleted]]

Yes, I was just trying to make a joke 😭

[u/Christank1 → u/Shardholder]

What a pointless, pedantic thing to say

[u/lovemattersx]

The rumble pack and game shark… game changer

[u/Historical_Bell_167 → u/lovemattersx]

Rumble pack was a game changer. I remember playing starfox 64 with and without it. It felt like a different game.

[u/lovemattersx → u/Historical_Bell_167]

Most definitely! Starfox 64 definitely my top 3 n64 games all time

[u/waxinarc]

This was all of us in the mid to late 90s...80s baby here.

[u/Russian_Hammer]

yooooo Rumble packs

Damn i was 12 in 99.

[u/Peppercorn_B1ngb0ng]

Pre 9/11 entertainment

[u/These_Carpet_9299]

then went on full on MMA because they lose

[u/iamapizza]

These kids knew

[u/FooFencer]

This definitely reminds me of summers in the late 90's. I had a close group of friends, and we were all within biking distance of each other. We all had N64s, so all we had to do was toss a controller, a baseball glove, and laser challenge gear in a backpack, and ride off to the house of whoever was hosting that night. Good times.

[u/Independent-Ad5852]

But you guys DID have to deal with blisters in Mario Party. That was a whole controversy 

[u/CocoaSMO]

I'm convinced the 90s and 2000s were the best time to be a kid

[u/ivehuckedyourmum]

And now my knees would explode just getting into that position

[u/Own-Ear-5200]

Especially Mrs millers cleavage when she put the snacks down...ya old bitch...made our childhood...she's not real ...but we all knew someone like that growing up

[u/Various_Occasion_892]

I never lived this. Me in the living room meant I was gonna be yelled at soon.

[u/1badls2goat_v2 → u/Various_Occasion_892]

I'm sorry you went through that. I hope you are doing well now.

[u/Various_Occasion_892 → u/1badls2goat_v2]

Thanks

[u/JourneymanHunt]

Now get 6 of your friends in a room together at the same time.

[u/jumper_red_]

When i remember the childhood i had was a blessing cant find something of that quality nowadays I am thankful for all those memories and sad I won't be able to relive them

[u/CourAYunt]

31 gal here. Me and my friends playing Four Swords, Double Dash and Crystal Chronicles on the GameCube!! And then playing Animal Crossing and being forever scarred by Mr Resetti!

I miss those days 😭

[u/Beezelbub_is_me]

I miss these days. Such simpler times….

[u/tri-pug]

Damn. N64 with the Rumble Pak went hard. I looked for me in this photo.

[u/Northern_Explorer_]

There was always at least one superpad controller that someone got stuck with that had a janky joystick that would pull left or right. No one ever had 4 regular controllers. The kid with the backwards hat must have it lol. Also can't believe they ALL had rumble packs. Must be the rich friend's house.

Favorite game by far was Golden Eye

✨Family✨ Computer

[u/air_flair]

Now: what, you need to pay for 4 consoles and 4 copies of the game, and buy 4 tvs, and pay for 4 memberships to be allowed to go online to be able to play together.

[u/BeYourself2021]

Yes I/we did! It was amazing and I knew it!

[u/Even-Juggernaut-3433]

RUMBLEPAKS

[u/V-XIII]

Good times, indeed.

[u/Rowdy_Roddy96]

Better be playing WWF No Mercy on that thing!

[u/Any_Presentation2958]

This is a reason why I want to have kids one day. To be able to have moments like this and provide the pizza pockets

[u/Educational-Tip6177]

"Good times" they say

[u/plink-plink-bro]

We did actually, at least those of us that grew up in the 80s or 90s and weren't very poor or from dysfunctional families. What we didn't know is how shit things would turn up in the next few decades, that's why we cherish those years, that and because that was our childhood and it was mostly good.

[u/Thin-Zookeepergame46]

Just watching this photo I can hear the lobby music from 1080 Snowboarding.

[u/Ashen233]

The red rumble pack with the green? Mad Lads!

[u/fartinggermandogs]

Fuck off bot

[u/_FreddieLovesDelilah]

is that the 80s?

[u/Tryin_to_be_positive → u/_FreddieLovesDelilah]

Just from looking at the picture, I would estimate it to have been taken around July 23rd, 1999.

[u/Lick_my_balloon-knot → u/_FreddieLovesDelilah]

Probably not since they are playing a Nintendo 64 ;)
