Games you used to play when you were a kid

Thanks for sharing. This thread made me start feeling really nostalgic. When I look back on my childhood i feel a sense of wistful melancholy. Life was much better as a child. Before all the restrictive responsibilities started creeping in.

Childhood is just a care free, magical time where you can just enjoy being alive and appreciate the beauty of life without constantly worrying about money and other things. I sometimes look at my daughter when she's playing on a park or running through the woods and wonder what it must've been like to have been her age and to have been so care free.

I feel like as we grow older that magical feeling of what it means to just be alive and enjoy living is slowly robbed from us as we're subjected to the indoctrination of schools and ideologies, the pressure of obtaining grades all in preparation for what corporate master you will serve when you're of age.

I feel incredibly saddened that this is the kind of life we have made for ourselves. Some people might argue that its worth it because of the luxuries we have living in such a system, but to be honest I don't see this translated in reality. To me, people seem incredibly sad, tired and run down with worry and both physical and mental exhaustion. Children don't care about such luxuries. I think they just want to play and enjoy life and we should aspire to live lives similar to children. Care free and enjoying the beauty of nature.

I confess that I believe being an adult f***ing sucks. The magic of life gets sucked out of you as the heavy burden of adult life begins to weigh you down. Its little wonder people become so hateful, misanthropic or just apathetic towards everything. This system drains your soul and takes away the fundamental magic of what it means to be alive.

I definitely agree.
All the magic in the 90's and early 00's has disappeared. Our life now consist of staring at a computer screen for eight hours at work and staring
at a computer screen or TV screen to watch bloody Netflixs at home. Your wife and kids will probably do the same. They are not playing outside anymore. You grew old and tired and passive. Your not the adventurer like your used to be.

I do not mind working if I can get laid and do psychedelics,the usa has it that all the women are so terrible and high standards that not even attractive men get women unless they make 6 figures,as I discovered on a podcast today,and that prostitution and doing research chemicals and drugs are illegal.

That means life is just one big hell for men.

You can say 'travel bro'but travelling is expensive.

I've decided to move back to europe where atleast I can do those things and be happy.

I plan on either marrying a portuguese woman or a brazilian mestica/mulatinha and bring her back over when I'm 40 lol

Do you mean the sense of childhood wonder of the 70's and 80's.

We did not all go through our childhoods in the 1990s.

There was still a bit of wonder in seeing g Asia after college. Also falling in love with my wife, the early years of sex (still a bit of a sense of wonder that endured at access to a naked woman and sex.) Wonder at the birth of children, and when they are babies. I hope I get to see what grandchildren are like

And there is wonder throughout the years seeing evidence of God interacting with the world in various ways, some non-mundane such as specific prophecies, specific answers to prayer, healing here and there.

I had my childhood in the 90's.
I heard great things about 70's and 80's too and watched both era's through youtube. Damn, The 70's and 80's seems more wholesome than the grudge 90's. Neverthless the 90's and 00's were better than 2010's and 2020's. 2010 has been alright for me. Much better than 2020's.

My grandma picked cotton in mississippi at age 3.probabely one of the reasons she was so strict and stringent,she had no real childhood.

I would never want my kids to 'work',and they're only leaving the house when they are ready to start a family and have enough money to live comfortabely,I'm not one of those soulless americans that kick their children out at age 18 lol

can you believe some parents charge their children rent to live with them?How can you be so soulless?And I would love my children no matter what they did except pedophilia.

Sorry to hear about your grandma. Damn.. picking cotton at 3, that's insane, man.

Happens all the time in America. Parents doesn't give a sh*t about their children and think kicking them out when 18 is a cultural norm.
East Asian families on the other hand, force you to become a soulless study machine like Winston's Cousin, Taylor Chen Wu? I believe.

Yeah,my family were sharecroppers.Before my mother moved north,she had to bathe in a tub of rainwater mississippi is a third world shithole even today.

It's not as bad as the choctaw,who were homeless selling cigarettes on highways.Her mother was fully choctaw and grew up on the reservation,it was the worst place to live.

Yes,how can you kick your children out when they're not ready?I'd even love for me to have a big house,and my kids and grandkids all live with me and my wife,their grandmother and mother.

Do East asian families really parent their children so draconian?This utalitarian mindset towards your Own children is just appalling!

Damn.. those were the segregation days, but Mississippi is still a sh*thole even today. The Poorest state in the U.S.

Depends on the family, but I think lot of White people like to do that. They just don't give a f*ck. They tell you to pack your sh*t and get out of the house just like the mother bird or tiger kicking out her offsprings. I seen many white people join the military for food and shelter Become a next cannon fodder for the ZOG's war effort.

In contrast. Most East Asians help you through university but expect to study like hell and get all "A"s and want you to become doctor, lawyer, IT person or engineer. If your fall short then they consider you as a failure. Winston's Cousin is one example of a "well adjusted" Asian. Asians are like that because that's how they live back in their homeland. Same process, and every Asian parents spend up to 50k- 100k in private education just to get their children into the best university in their country. It used to be such a frenzy 10-20 years ago.. but nowadays, that is one of the main factors of the low birthrate because the parents and the child just couldn't afford to compete in the rat race. South Korea has the lowest birthrate in the entire world because of such fierce competition.

I forget the games we played outside, but I played a lot of chess as a kid. I was rated in the top 10 in the US for my age.

Too bad you didn't become the next "Bobby Fischer". Although he was successful, he gave it all up and moved to the Philippines and marry his filipinna wife.
