It’s a common phrase when I find myself unable to keep up with the times.

The older generations and even those above them have said the same things at various times.

Regulations were certainly more relaxed back in the day.

Be more careful.

Without youth, nothing becomes enjoyable.

Models like the 180SX could be bought for around 300,000 to 500,000 yen used, so it was truly a great era.

>>10

This is something that the person thinks as well.

Kids who only have knowledge from what they heard about 80s arcades and played later with Famicom or Super Famicom, huh…

It seems like I’m being looked down on even more, and it all depends on how we perceive things, doesn’t it?

>>113

In any community, when the number of people increases, the long-time residents feel that way, right?

>>13

What I’m feeling is a sense of alienation…

As I thought.

The good times in Japan have come to an end.

Don’t you think that’s true…?

I think that the circumstances are different for genres that are easy to experience from the past compared to cars.

There are certainly some that have become lost media.

The era of gas-guzzling sports cars is well…

>>17

No joke, I think this is the best era where technology has matured the most…

I don’t know about ten years from now.

>>59

The quality and the times are different, so it’s complicated.

Don’t you think so…?

It might be the case if it can be clearly separated from personal nostalgia…

>>63

>>63

For most people, except for those nostalgic uncles who can’t keep up with the times, quality and the era are usually equal, right?

>>18

It’s amazing to think that early spoilers from overseas have become a staple or a meme for things like Naruto and Hunter when looking back at them now.

Well, the car… you know…

I really think we are fortunate now to have anime to watch every season.

Well, the maximum wind speed will show up if you look at past records, but…

There are also people who modify kei cars in a way that’s kind of incomprehensible and flashy.

I’m watching, thinking it must be fun for them.

>>21

It’s enjoyable precisely because it will undoubtedly become a tool I use myself…

>>21

It’s enough to just have the feeling that you love your car, rather than listing complicated car knowledge.

>>39

That aside, there are times when I think you look way too uncool.

There were only a few people who enjoyed messing with the carburetors.

For me, Akihabara might be like that…

>>23

I don’t know the old Akihabara, but isn’t there just an overwhelming number of street performers?

>>29

It was actually less.

The technology of molds and injection molding for plastic models has clearly improved year by year, making them better now than in the past.

On the contrary, what I felt I wished I had back then was a smartphone.

The good times for dumb forums have ended.

Don’t you think that’s true?

It was nice here in the old days, wasn’t it?

All of the erotic manga and doujinshi sold that day were uploaded in their entirety.

It’s something like that, right?

>>113

The very foundation being destroyed is cheating, isn’t it?

The good times for arcades have definitely come to an end.

Don’t you think that’s true…?

>>169

I envy the salaries from the bubble era, but I wonder if I actually envy the values and culture of that time…

>>38

There may be a generation where there are no decent forms of entertainment other than work, making work feel like the greatest source of enjoyment.

Other things like golf or cabarets are ultimately just part of business entertaining.

If you have a hobby of manipulating the shape of things by yourself, you won’t get bored, right?

When it comes to the prosperous era of Japan, well… there are many things I don’t want to go back to…

>>169

You can do things similar to an arcade at home.

>>44

I think those who went understand, but I really liked the different atmosphere compared to playing games at home.

The feeling of putting in a coin, the regulars on the other side of the machine, taking a break while standing at Vega and watching various games, and the noise from people playing other games that I don’t know about.

In today’s online battles, there are people on the other side, but it somehow feels inorganic…

Manga, anime, and games can be revisited from the past, so there’s probably no better time than now.

However, when it comes to social games and online games, the story changes.

There are various types of games, but…

As for MMOs, the good times have ended, and we can no longer experience that era again.

I think it’s a privilege of the generation that was a student in the early 2000s.

>>46

I wonder if it’s a malicious swamp that only occurred in that era…

>>46

I wonder if we can replicate otherworld simulators like Ultima Online in the modern metaverse.

I wonder if they can’t come up with a system that can make money…

It might be VRChat that becomes that.

>>46

Especially in the early days of UO, everyone was inexperienced with MMOs as games, so we were able to play freely.

>>46

The various things that exist now are naturally interesting and I love them, but there are unique experiences from back then that are really great…

(They’re probably longing for Batman’s Batmobile… Otherwise, there’s no explanation for those fins.)

The catchphrases from old Akihabara were about as common as parrots.

Eurian, who appeared late, was regarded with curiosity.

I don’t know since the cat cafes and such have opened.

dat is over.

>>51

Did it start at some point?

But Dr. Shima is driving quite an old car, isn’t he…

>>52

As long as I don’t stop the RR layout, I think I’ll continue to drive a Porsche.

>>52

To put it more clearly, Professor Shima has been transported to the Sazae-san timeline from the 1990s until 2010.

Even now, when Dr. Yama says cars are interesting, it’s still a scene where the space-time is quite distorted.

I guess it can’t be helped… It’s fine since I can do it in VRC now.

>>54

If it were 20 years ago, it would be a story of dreams, dreams, and more dreams.

You can obtain as much erotic art as you want with generative AI.

So, has the value dropped?

The value of that thing does not diminish at all.

It’s just that the number of people who don’t notice has increased.

However, it seems that the era of cheap and good gasoline has come to an end.

The era when you could buy Jump for 200 yen is over.

Don’t you think that’s true…?

>>55

With a subscription, you can read it for about the same price…

Moreover, it does not take up space in the room.

>>169

The prices themselves are different, so I can’t compare them…

If I could shop with my current salary at the prices of the past, I wouldn’t complain…

It’s unfortunate that I won’t be able to witness the birth of full-dive type games.

If I were to put it in manga terms, I am still a manga artist, but the time when I was drawing manga with various idiots was the most enjoyable.

It’s a nostalgic thought, almost like saying it was easier to be a manga artist in my time than it is now.

They say that after this, it’s fun both now and in the past.

The characters that appear tend to be wealthy middle-aged individuals.

Gathering the street racers to perform time attacks on the expressway and causing disturbances.

The era of good cars has definitely ended… and I can really feel that in the manga.

It’s better than the time I desperately tried to keep up with the conversation while picking up on things in some obscure place just because I was outside the broadcast area.

Isn’t it the worst time to just see cars as a means of transportation? The comfort features are incredibly well-equipped.

>>68

But cars in the future will fly.

>>71

I don’t want to fly…

No matter how robust the control and safety mechanisms are, the sense of ground contact is lost the moment it takes off.

>>71

(It clearly looks like a drone)

The good times for my health have ended.

Good times really do exist, you know.

I think it’s inevitable that those who become addicted to online games encounter them during their college years or while being unemployed, which become their golden periods for wasting time.

I don’t want to go back to the era before manga, music, videos, and games were all on the internet~

But now that there are fewer evening anime, I really think we had a great era.

>>75

I think it was an amazing era when “Tenchi Muyo” and “Leviathan” were being broadcast in the evening.

If we’re just talking about the car’s performance, the current one is definitely better.

It’s just that there’s no longer any meaning for beginners to tinker with cars like this person used to do in the past.

I don’t compare the past and the present, but I think those times were good.

It’s a quiet pride of mine to have been able to experience the many changes in gaming consoles and the accompanying technology.

>>79

I think around 1990 was the time when people were probably breathing the best air.

>>79

I think there are actually things like this.

The moment new things come out in my favorite genre is always exciting.

Many children are enjoying a great era thanks to the development of the internet in relation to games.

The sense of trial and error that used to exist in old MMOs is probably impossible now.

Before flying, it’s completely automated, and at that point, it’s a different thing altogether from today’s cars. Once that happens, whether it flies in the sky or dives underwater, it’s just a matter of minor differences, right?

There was a similar episode in Kochikame, but if it were in an era without the Switch or PS5, and even without a Game & Watch.

Well, I think the former is definitely better…

>>89

It’s hard to say whether the emotion is different when the first gaming experience is on PS5.

In the past, drunk driving was not illegal.

The past was better.

Indeed, the good era in terms of temperature has ended.

Don’t you think that’s true…?

It’s overwhelmingly easier to study IT now, and I envy it.

The editor is free too.

>>92

Isn’t it true that it was better when programming was a more specialized skill that only a few people could do?

>>100

No, not at all.

Considering the effort to write 1KB in assembly and what can be done, I really can’t think that way.

Car enthusiasts, whether they are into tuning or racing, are basically anti-social, right?

Didn’t the world notice that? Even the Itasha hobby could be fine if it was just about the wrapping, but the cars that come to the event venues are just loud modified cars with muffler changes, extreme stances, low ground clearance, and tons of LEDs.

It was a great time to experience the heyday of robot anime and the peak of Super Robot Wars.

The values of the world do not necessarily align with one’s own values.

I think it’s a good era that the circuit is open and properly maintained for regular driving.

Money always costs a lot.

>>169

(It’s warm in winter, so I’m grateful that I can save on heating costs…)

The hobby of playing with pictures and shapes can be enjoyed forever…

I certainly think that a good era has ended for people who enjoy tinkering with their own cars.

The current cars are not something amateurs should handle.

When I look at the threads on Jump, I often see people casually talking about the Dark Ages.

This is really an ugly statement from an old man boasting about the best times he enjoyed, taking only the good parts.

I’ll be careful too…

>>104

Thinking like “I don’t want to be seen as an old fool, so I’ll just say something positive for now” is truly the mindset of a withered old man.

>>104

Just…

>>104

From what I’ve seen, the time during Porta was the darkest.

I was playing with it as a joke in a pot, so it’s the most memorable time for me.

When it comes to genres I’m not familiar with, I often think that the current ones are definitely better… but I wonder if there are still some old ones that were better.

For example, it seems like everything except the price at Disneyland is better in the newer versions, but I wonder if there are people who prefer the old ones.

>>106

Typically, there is a sense of enthusiasm and culture during the dawn phase of anything.

People who were immersed in that often tend to feel that they can’t understand just by touching the objects.

>>106

Regardless of whether I knew the genre or not, I found the era when compliance-related matters were more relaxed to be more interesting…

I think that’s because I’m an old man.

If people saw this now, it would likely be considered unacceptable, even before they find it interesting or not.

>>106

Knowing about the commotion at Harenchii Academy and the media’s missteps that took advantage of it makes it hard to say that the past was better.

>>106

The current Disney is pretty terrible, including app management…

Also, the play equipment has deteriorated over time and has become trash.

This morning at the convenience store, I saw a modification where someone placed the front license plate on the dashboard, and I thought to myself that there are still people filled with such passionate modification spirit.

So this work isn’t a manga for those who want to run fast.

Becoming a professional driver is more like being treated as if you’ve retired.

>>112

After C1, all the characters that appear are people in a position of wealth.

It makes you feel the harsh realities surrounding cars in the opposite way.

Just

The good times regarding sexual desire have definitely ended.

Don’t you think that’s true?

>>113

It’s too true and sad.

>>113

Urinary incontinence is extremely bad.

That’s troublesome…

>>113

Replacing an individual’s decline with that of the times is as much a breach of manners as making the subject larger, you know?

I thought I would end up like this too, but in reality, it’s not that I’m bored; I realize that my own motivation is fading.

There is a period of uncertainty in every type of content.

If you say that’s the most fun time, well, yes.

In the past, it was good, but now it would be considered unacceptable.

There are quite a few aspects that can be attributed to the leniency of the normative consciousness at that time.

It’s because you guys, the predecessors, were street racers causing police car chases and accidents involving regular cars that the regulations have tightened.

Regarding Jump, it is definitely declining.

In terms of the sales of the paperback.

>>123

The peak was during the bubble era, after all.

>>136

Bubble = bad thing

I just don’t understand that kind of thinking anymore.

>>137

At least the peak of the numbers was 30 to 35 years ago, so I don’t think we’re talking about whether it’s good or bad.

>>137

A bubble is defined as the increase in asset value beyond the actual economy, so it’s not good.

>>123

“It must be tough for kids these days,” seemingly looking down on them.

>>138

This is exactly the kind of line you can use at times like this.

The joy of the dawn period when we were just starting and exploring cannot be surpassed no matter how much we develop.

It’s more convenient now, and I don’t particularly want to go back to the bubble era.

Workplace harassment and excessive overtime were perfectly fine, weren’t they?

>>126

It’s a story about how much we are forced to endure for the sake of that convenience.

Is everyone in the world looking happy?

It’s simply that my preference leans towards the “Sekai-kei” (world-focused) genre.

At that time, they weren’t produced in very large quantities either.

>>128

If you are still hungry, you can refuel by reading “Fusion at 400 million light-years after we met.”

My uncle says it’s good that there’s no social media while watching the news, but there was bullying in the past that wasn’t brought to light, and I wonder how we can compare it to people who have had smartphones close to them since birth.

There are many skeptics who say that even self-driving cars, which are said to reduce accidents, are not fun.

The good days regarding hair are over.

>>139

I think my forehead just keeps getting wider.

In the past, peeing would just end with a splash from one to ten.

When you feel old, getting from 1 to 8 is quick, but going beyond that…

It’s unbelievable how 8 to 10 just don’t come out…

I’m really a little down… little by little…

I hope you can enjoy it… that gradual progress…

It’s treated as if it’s fun precisely because it’s an illegal race.

It’s understandable that the things we can do are decreasing due to regulations, even if it was better in the past.

There is a direction to enjoy within the rules, but it’s a different genre.

It’s simply a world where the choices have become limited.

I genuinely think the kids today are pitiful.

>>144

The options are rather increasing.

Game centers were where delinquents gathered in the Showa era, right? Was it a good time?

>>146

It’s true that the bad parts are often forgotten.

It was also a place where people of similar age with the same hobbies gathered in large numbers.

There are certainly people who found it enjoyable.

>>146

…it is hard to say that it was at least a safe and sound place.

>>176

That was a good thing.

From the perspective of someone who doesn’t smoke, the heavy regulation of tobacco has really improved things.

I was fortunate to witness the dawn of the internet.

I wonder what will happen in a hundred years.

To be specific, in the Flower Expo and Wonder Egg, there are games like Galaxian 3 and Starblade OBP that can be played by 28 people simultaneously.

I don’t say it out loud, but I feel a little sorry for those who couldn’t play.

Kids today are so full of entertainment that they don’t even need to read Jump…

I don’t think that everything is always growing healthily towards a wonderful future…

>>155

At the same time, it feels like a see-saw situation, but nonetheless, we are steadily trying to move in a good direction.

It is true that we are heading in a certain direction, so discussions like the one in the thread are ultimately based on personal experiences and subjective views.

It’s just my impression.

The early days of the internet were a lawless land.

…I was thinking that, but considering the current state of the conspiracy theory craze, it might actually be more like that now.

It seems that for serious car enthusiasts, the real enjoyment comes from driving on the circuit, so I don’t think it’s necessarily the case.

Although Jump’s sales are declining, there’s no need to be tied to Jump if you want to read manga, and the overall manga market size continues to expand.

>>158

It is also an era where young men’s manga is making great strides.

That entertainment is just licking up the remnants of the old men’s youth.

Young people really don’t have any value in living seriously, do they?

It’s fine to break the rules and regulations, but if you do that, you just won’t be able to be a law-abiding citizen in today’s society.

In the past, it was an unspoken understanding that the company wouldn’t say anything even if employees acted mischievously in their private lives.

In fact, there are ordinary things that cannot be done anymore because we have exhausted finite resources.

Just

The good old days of finding a wet erotic magazine in the rain and feeling excited are finally over.

Don’t you think that’s true?

As for the bulletin boards, the good times are really over.

The way it’s getting rough is so out of this world that it often leaves me stunned.

In the past, authentic food that could be imported is no longer coming in due to import restrictions…

Jump has been said to be in a dark period for a long time, and years later people say that those times were much better than now.

Does that mean it has been continuously falling… ? I think.

>>166

It’s because the number of flagship works is gradually decreasing.

Because cars have now become safe and convenient vehicles.

I don’t think there is anything specialized like there used to be.

It’s amazing that access to entertainment is almost completely possible with just a smartphone.

Indeed, the good times for eel are over.

Don’t you think that’s true…?

The era when we could run locally, breaking the rules, was great.

Don’t you think so?

I think it’s natural to believe that the time when I was passionately involved was the best era, and I also think it’s fine to feel that way.

In recent years, with the decline of street racers, how are tuning shops and custom shops for racing making a living?

As long as you have money, you can enjoy yourself in any era, you know? (lol)

Any genre’s transitional period, where anything goes, is really fun.

It’s something that teenagers and people in their twenties do, right?

Then it’s no good.

In reality, during the bubble period, unions were more active and working hours were supposed to be shorter.

Well, when it comes to game centers, they can vary greatly.

Back then, it was really chaotic.

Why were the wicked and ruthless gathered in the game center in the first place?

>>185

Because I have free time.

If you don’t accurately reproduce the environmental sensitivity of the time, you can’t make comparisons, but that’s impossible, you know.

If the main reason for the fun was simply being young, then I don’t think that same enjoyment will come again.

When Street Fighter was popular, it was common to be threatened by tough people who would take you away if you defeated them… well…

Recently, I mostly buy single issues of interesting works through apps, so I have stopped caring about what’s happening with different magazines at all.
