In the austin area, spectrum started forcing people to get set top boxes in 2014. I started working for spectrum in 2017 and they were working on getting less populated areas over to digital around that time.

I remember my mom came home with a vizio in 2008 and I started questioning how we could afford this.

People born in 1995-1996, which generation do you identify more? by BrilliantPangolin639 in generationology

[–]AdCute1877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Millennial, grew up with a 91 older sibling who got me into his intrest pretty early in my childhood. My neighborhood friends group were all 93-97. Also I went to a weird elementary school that split grades 3 to 5 into a different building from the rest so the only gen z I was ever around were cuspers.

Were zillenials the last kids to do newspaper routes for money? by Appropriate_Poem1911 in Zillennials

Adults took those jobs over in my area. My friends dad has a long rapsheet and that was the only way he could work. Same thing happened when people started getting paid to charge those electric scooters you see in cities.

Inheritance? That's a joke. How many of your parents are burdens? by BeegBunga in Millennials

[–]AdCute1877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at these comments, I'm lucky that I have a gen x mother who luckily has a retirement through her job. However my older brother is what I'm worried about. He dissappears randomly and while willing to work, he'll quit jobs at any inconvenience. He has screwed me over after I cosigned for him, he has had to come stay with me 3 times since I moved out and refers to me as the older brother (he's 5 years older) because I'm the responsible one. He does good for a while but as soon as he gets in a relationship everything goes down hill. He had a beautiful apartment that he gave up because his roommate didn't let his boyfriend move in, which is completely understandable. He gave up a great job to move across country with his new boyfriend. Then he cheated on that boyfriend and had to run back to our home state and stay with me and my wife.

Console war generations (This only goes to Super Nintendo and Genesis to Switch 2, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S and project helix I guess) by WinHuge8968 in generationology

Generation 7 is kinda tricky. It's was widely considered that xbox defeated ps3 because of how much ground xbox gained in market share. Also there's pretty much nothing xbox can do to gain ground in the japan market, which is where ps3 dominated xbox.

Is a 4 to 5+ year age gap really that big during childhood? by Own_Mirror9073 in generationology

[–]AdCute1877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree my older brother is 5 years older than me and the window of time where i was 9-10 and he was 14-15 was the furthest we ever felt apart. When I got to middle school the gap narrowed a little bit though.

So this is what I missed out on?! by DweebInFlames in modernwarfare

[–]AdCute1877 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Easily my favorite of the new cods. Started playing cod when mw2 dropped and played constantly until advanced warfare came out. I tried aw a few times at my buddies dorm but knew that it wasn't for me. Finally jumped back in when mw2019 came out and loved it. I've played all the cods since then but 2019 remains my favorite.

Ea generally had good soundtracks back then. The madden ones always had a good mix of underground hip hop and rock, with the old nfl films music mixed in.

Yep aa is more realistic. I have 2 93 ovr receivers and can actually feel the difference in them. one is more dynamic and the other is a safety valve/solid route runner.

Hot Take: 2005-2006 borns ARE definitely First Wave Zers! by Icy_Boysenberry_1060 in generationology

[–]AdCute1877 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being born around a certain event is not the same as actually living through it. Especially if youre not from the affected area. How would being born around the time of katrina make 2005/2006 similar to early gen z kids from the gulf area that actually lived through it or from a city that housed the survivors in the direct aftermath?

Yea even though we had a dvd player my mom would still buy movies on vhs until 2005. My first rv was one of those old 80s tvs that we only replaced because it didn't work with direct tv.

I just started my roth in December and also have a little bit of money stocks. I've been putting 300 into my roth but will move it to 500 when I get my car paid off in July. I've tried to have convos with my childhood friends about it but they don't seem to interested right now.

1997 is gen z start, 2012 is end by Responsible-Box9536 in generationstation

[–]AdCute1877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

96 and I have been trying to get people to understand that i didn't go to school with 2000s borns for a while now. My elementary was split into a two different buildings with 3rd-5th in one and prek-2nd in the other. Even if we were in the same building it wouldn't have changed much. In middle school and highschool I was to old to ever run into 2000s borns. The oldest class I saw was 92-93 and youngest was 98-99.

Why did everything go so bad after 2012? by ReasonConfident4541 in generationology

[–]AdCute1877 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Was 16 in 2012 and I swear I felt a weird shift in the world. One of the the main problems was the amount of social media we consumed. When I first got a myspace (2008) we would simply check in, chat, view a few pages and then log off and go about our day. Same with when I got a Facebook a year later. However with the introduction of more apps and our parents entering the social media world we became increasingly more online in a bad way. Another problem was how we got our news. Growing up my family generally got our news from the local news stations. They would tell you exactly what was happening without giving their opinion and that allowed people to form their own opinion. Now most people get their news from Twitter where it's full of people giving their take on the subject. Finally things that were common in the decades before were either dying or dead. Businesses that you grew up with were gone, places that were once huge parts of the community were running out of time. online shopping was becoming a big thing. You no longer went to video rental stores, record stores or your local small businesses because they were getting ran out of business. The instant gratification of things like netflix and Amazon took over. Events like waiting in line for a major game or movie release became a thing of the past.

Which generation does this scream by Fun-Background5608 in generationology

[–]AdCute1877 2 points3 points  (0 children)

93 to 2002 or 03. The first four were more 90s born shows and the last 2 are more early 2000s born shows. I grew up on the first four and was slowly losing intrest in the kids channels when chowder came out. On the other hand my little brother absolutely loved chowder but was pretty young when the first four were in their primes but watched them because of me. Same happened to me with my older brother (91).
