Do you miss the era in which you grew up in yet?

The DS was keyed, I'd argue the 3DS was even better but it sucked that the system had a poorer battery life by default, especially with 3D on.

the GBA port on the original releases was actually pretty useful. It's a shame Nintendo dropped it with the release of the DSi, wasn't there a DSi prototype that also had a GBA port? I may be misremembering this

This is a very important thing to consider when thinking about the contrast of joy in life between a child and an adult or an adolescent. Personally, my mood this year has gone up and down from tremendous joy to immense sorrow within just weeks. It’s rather absurd just how quickly it can fluctuate. At the start of this week, I was leaping out of bed at the sound of my alarm, feeling full of energy and greatly looking forward to seeing my friends again after a week-long spring break from school, and now on Saturday I’ve been sitting at home all day, exhausted from schoolwork and feeling dispirited for the entire evening in my thoughts because I was the only one in my circle of friends who wasn’t able to attend tonight’s school prom (I don’t mean to mope on here about my personal problems, just wanted to use that as one example of a drastic mood shift).

If you said that to a doctor now they’d throw you on antidepressants instead of acknowledging it as part of growing up.

I doubt many of us here are old enough to have had a clear (if any) memory of the 1980s/1990s, but one thing I've started noticing at the ripe old age of 19 is that I kinda miss the early 2010s, like from 2011-2014. I miss when my biggest concern was whether or not my mom would buy me Minecraft for my birthday, the Xbox One and PS4 being all the rage, the start of the post-Jobs Apple (and the uncertainty around that), blah blah blah.

To be clear I'm not trying to say my new "adoration" for those few years is justified at all, it absolutely fucking isn't. I feel ashamed of myself for even thinking "hey, I kinda miss the Obama era". Yet at the same time I'm starting to get the same feeling that millennials had a decade ago about the 1990s. I guess when you're an 8yo kid ignorance is bliss.

It's all very strange and unique to me, and I'm curious if it's going to be something I feel for the rest of my life or if it's just a brief little phase. Whatever the case may be, I don't know how I'm supposed to manage it.

I feel the same way. I feel strong nostalgia for the age in which I used to loiter in which now I miss. I think about the old times I used to have in those days at night.
