That's nothing. Doom is an old game, even boomers realize it.
Now, realizing Pokemon is 26 years old, PlayStation 2 is 24 years old and old enough to be a retro console, stuff I considered to be the new hotness... now that makes me feel old.

Yea, Doom being that old kind of makes me feel better. Thinking about how old Playstation games are though... that makes me feel like time is spinning out of control.
I've been running Half Life for the first time recently. I'm only a quarter century late.
*turns into dust*
In my young years the computers still worked with this and Pong was a sensation.
31 years of rip & tear! Killing demons keeps ya young!
The rippin and the tearin, the rippin and the tearin
Now I feel old for also playing Castle Wolfenstein
Dialup deathmatch FTW!
Realizing that the first C&C game came out 29 years ago:
In my mind, videogames and music never feel older or younger than they are.
Last week a friend of mine was like "can you believe Kurt Cobain died 30 years ago" and my reaction was "Yes..."
And it's still fucking awesome.
Wow, I can't believe doom is so young! It's been a cultural juggernaut my entire life, so it's weird to think of Doom as "releasing."
what taking damage does to a mf'er
Tragically, this also means that, even after 31 years, I've still never 'get good' enough.
Put words together into sentences that make me sound like a grown-up.
