>I just want to go back bros, back to the 2000s and the old internet
Don't we all, friend. I too have that same craving that cannot ever be solved, since we can't snap our fingers and magically bring back all that golden age. We can't change shit that easily, if at all.
However, I have been more or less having success with having a little more sanity, trying to not search places to go back to that age (since it's impossible and the few places that pretend to do that are moderated by tranny/faggotry-lovers or tolerant to them, i won't name the forums), but instead, just do, play, watch, listen, EVERYTHING from the 2000s only. Music? Only music either from game OSTs, or music that are at least 3 to 5 years old, amiga music also for example is pretty comfy. Same for old youtube videos if you know how to use the search engine. Also there are a few dumps of old imageboard threads from the late 2000s which might help having that sort of feeling you're browsing the old net again (i don't do that often though).
And as for VIDEOGAMES (since we are on a vidya board, this will
hopefully avoid my post be considered off-topic and banned), only games that were made prior to 2015 when the game industry suddenly started shitting itself with normalized faggotry, decline in quality (DLCs, micro-transactions and whatnot everyone already knows that) and other abhorrent horrors we already know of. Like early RPGs, old 2000s visual novels, maybe even private server old MMORPGs, why not (though most of them are filled with normies), and especially emulation like in this thread.
Same for anime, movies and series, just torrent all the shit (that today are possibly unfindable on most platforms). It actually baffled me to see how much we've regressed with the early movies/series compared to the modern garbage we have today (same with games tbh).
Combine all of that and you sort of feel like you're in the 2000s again. Granted it's not exactly the same thing, it's definitely also a NEET & friendless activity (and a litteral cope), but it's better than just mourning it over and over I guess. Also, start data-hoarding, jewtube is going to remove all channels that were inactive/didn't connect to goolag for more than 2 years (bye all the cool videos from 15 years ago).
But yeah it's basically how I personally cope with that. Definitely autistic, but at least I try to consume something that isn't as shitty as what we have today.
