Yeah. I know this is supposed to make us all say “fuck, I’m old” and all, but this just sounds like a fantastic night.
Yeah, and I don't think you need to be in your 30s to enjoy DDR. That game is timeless.
There's a bar near me that is crammed full of arcade machines from all the decades and it is crammed with people of all ages having a blast and so many young people on dates. Games like DDR are still insanely popular and there's line ups for Daytona USA even though it's older than plenty of the people playing it.

This scene was from An Extremely Goofy Movie, released on 2000.
But the point does stand...
Damn, you know your Goofy Movies.
DDR Extreme 8th Mis wasn’t out then! Aaaaaaaaa
Point me in the direction of the 30-something women who want to nerd out for hours about the Sega Dreamcast before spending all night beating Space Channel 5.
Nerdy introverted women exist, but they're just hanging out at home playing games too.
the great paradox.
Solution: door-to-door gaming solicitation?
As if anyone born after 1980 answers their front door.
Fair. But if you hold up the Dreamcast, maybe they'll see it on a video feed or something and give you a shot.

Give Tim Walz a shout, he's down to Dreamcast

I'm not sure what's regrettable about this information.
In the next scene where the date takes place, they embrace their old school cool, knock it out of the park, and have a blast. It genuinely romanticizes being this old and made me look up to being this old when I watched as a kid.
All this meme is telling me is, "Congrats, you made it, now go find people in your cohort and live it up with them in ways that mean things to you, even if the kids think you're cringe," and that's wonderful.
… I kinda feel like that would be a dope date
I would undoubtedly nerd out a little bit if I found a tamagochi in the wild.
does anyone wanna go on a date to play ddr with me 👉👈
Does anyone want to go on a edate and play beatsaber with me 👉👈
I was gonna tell the other poster I'd rather do Beat Saber but the addition of not even leaving the house is way better. Let's go!
30 year old woman here. Imported a DDR pad from Poland this summer. Let's do this.
well, going on a hetero date was the last thing i expected but I do love ddr....
To be fair, my husband might approve more if we just hang out instead anyway...
slowly hides bad dragon dildos and magic wand
Oh damn, that sounded fun... uhhh maybe we can work something out lol
bring your husband too!
What is that supposed to be?
A conch shell on a rope (maybe a ludicrous necklace?)
Is that a 70’s thing?
A lava lamp is a 70s thing. A pet rock. Glam rock. Avocado-green colored plastic kitchenware.
I have no idea what “70’s memorabilia” this is supposed to be.
Your questions are reasonable, I'm just saying what it looks like.

I would absolutely go on a date to play DDR.
Arcade date is awesome.
geeking out over what and playing what
:( Tamagotchi
the moment i saw this i thought goofy was hypnotizing her and was like "oof this didn't age well"
Glad i was wrong
yeah that's Pepe Le Pew territory
Oh, I get it now. 😂
This one hurts.
Just figured out that the Galaxy S3 got an official late update in 2020 from Samsung and then saw a review that made all the points i like about this "retro" device bad.
But seriously, seems like battery and replacement displays get manufactured again?
Btw, Does it get slower with Android 12+ LOS? It ws already a quad core with 1GB RAM.
You look lost.
Or you. I added links.
But what relevance do they hold for this topic?
That i just so happened to feel old about mere 10 years but then learned it is still somewhat recent?
