Implying that this isn’t a great date night…?

[–] Norin@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Yeah. I know this is supposed to make us all say “fuck, I’m old” and all, but this just sounds like a fantastic night.

Yeah, and I don't think you need to be in your 30s to enjoy DDR. That game is timeless.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

There's a bar near me that is crammed full of arcade machines from all the decades and it is crammed with people of all ages having a blast and so many young people on dates. Games like DDR are still insanely popular and there's line ups for Daytona USA even though it's older than plenty of the people playing it.

This scene was from An Extremely Goofy Movie, released on 2000.

But the point does stand...

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 37 points 1 week ago

Damn, you know your Goofy Movies.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

DDR Extreme 8th Mis wasn’t out then! Aaaaaaaaa

Point me in the direction of the 30-something women who want to nerd out for hours about the Sega Dreamcast before spending all night beating Space Channel 5.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 37 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Nerdy introverted women exist, but they're just hanging out at home playing games too.

[–] TheBest@midwest.social 15 points 1 week ago

the great paradox.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Solution: door-to-door gaming solicitation?

[–] BallsandBayonets@lemmings.world 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

As if anyone born after 1980 answers their front door.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Fair. But if you hold up the Dreamcast, maybe they'll see it on a video feed or something and give you a shot.

Give Tim Walz a shout, he's down to Dreamcast

I'm not sure what's regrettable about this information.

In the next scene where the date takes place, they embrace their old school cool, knock it out of the park, and have a blast. It genuinely romanticizes being this old and made me look up to being this old when I watched as a kid.

All this meme is telling me is, "Congrats, you made it, now go find people in your cohort and live it up with them in ways that mean things to you, even if the kids think you're cringe," and that's wonderful.

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

… I kinda feel like that would be a dope date

[–] RangerJosie@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I would undoubtedly nerd out a little bit if I found a tamagochi in the wild.

[–] match@pawb.social 17 points 1 week ago (2 children)

[–] GluWu@lemm.ee 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Does anyone want to go on a edate and play beatsaber with me 👉👈

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I was gonna tell the other poster I'd rather do Beat Saber but the addition of not even leaving the house is way better. Let's go!

[–] meliaesc@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

30 year old woman here. Imported a DDR pad from Poland this summer. Let's do this.

[–] match@pawb.social 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

well, going on a hetero date was the last thing i expected but I do love ddr....

[–] meliaesc@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

To be fair, my husband might approve more if we just hang out instead anyway...

[–] match@pawb.social 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

slowly hides bad dragon dildos and magic wand

[–] meliaesc@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oh damn, that sounded fun... uhhh maybe we can work something out lol

[–] match@pawb.social 3 points 1 week ago

bring your husband too!

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 11 points 1 week ago

Arcade date is awesome.

[–] missingno@fedia.io 11 points 1 week ago

I would absolutely go on a date to play DDR.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

What is that supposed to be?

[–] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

A conch shell on a rope (maybe a ludicrous necklace?)

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is that a 70’s thing?

A lava lamp is a 70s thing. A pet rock. Glam rock. Avocado-green colored plastic kitchenware.

I have no idea what “70’s memorabilia” this is supposed to be.

[–] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 week ago

Your questions are reasonable, I'm just saying what it looks like.

Glad i was wrong

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

[–] jbk@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

geeking out over what and playing what

[–] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 week ago

[–] x00za@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago

That's Goofy

Oh, I get it now. 😂

[–] 2pt_perversion@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

This one hurts.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Just figured out that the Galaxy S3 got an official late update in 2020 from Samsung and then saw a review that made all the points i like about this "retro" device bad.

But seriously, seems like battery and replacement displays get manufactured again?

Btw, Does it get slower with Android 12+ LOS? It ws already a quad core with 1GB RAM.
