Micro-Generation Born Between 1977 and 1983 Given New Name

Quick aside...

If you haven't tried 5th edition yet, I'd HIGHLY recommend it. 3rd edition was my wheel house and I all but checked out of 4th edition. 5th feels like the logical successor to 3e that should've came after it. Simplified in some ways, yet extremely customizable as well, with a lot less of the "bloat" that I felt began to hit as 3e/pathfinder continued further and further. I've been really impressed with it and it's versatility and been enjoying it; highly recommend.

Nobody beats the 1st Edition Cavalier ... nobody! :2razz:

I find all of the "generations" to be ridiculous. People are people. Treat them like individuals, not collectives. Collectivism is for idiots.

I started with D&D . backl when it was the 'men and magic, monsters and treasures, and wilderness adventures'.. did some bunny and burrows and tunnels and trolls just for the laugh. Mainly kept with D&D right up until they went to 4E, and then our group went pathfinder. I did play call of cthulu a few times. The group broke up a couple of years ago, after having a run of 23 years straight...

I started with Chainmail, back in 1974, moved into D&D and played that for years, played dozens of RPGs since, still play occasionally, although it's hard to find people who are into roleplaying and don't have significant social problems. I've spent enough time around fanatics to last me a lifetime. I could tell you stories...

Xennial. I kinda like it.

Anyone else a Xennial and can relate to the analog childhood and digital adulthood?

Gen Xer here. So I've also been weirded out about the whole analog to digital transition and then watching all the purely digital generations come up and just... not understanding them at all. I guess like all previous generations say about their succeeding generations though.

Oh, man. Those were the days. The first computer my parents bought was from Best Buy. The monitor was so big that they had to take it out of the box to get it to fit into the car to take it home. Haha.

We used to have fights over who got to use the one stationary computer that took forever to load websites especially if someone was trying to call. I also remember being a little addicted to Yahoo Messenger. Does that even exist anymore?

My first computer I bought for myself.



Acer Aspire 1996. I thought I was hot ****. I had a freegin 1 GIG hard drive. My IT friend back then said, "Holy cow... You'll NEVER EVER EVER use a gig of hard drive. It's so overkill." I downloaded a 10 gig game last night. :lol:

The first Windows-based PC I ever bought for myself came with 197mb hard drive and I thought it was huge. Then again, the first computer I had came with 16k of memory and a tape drive. I remember one of my professors in college telling the story that when he was in school. they splurged and spent $10,000 on 4k of memory for their computer and couldn't imagine ever filling it up. It's all a matter of perspective.
 
I owned a Commodore 64. Had the tape drive, a handful of floppy drives, ran DOS, and everything except some games was black and green on the screen.
