What happened this year that made you feel old as heck?

[NancyGold]

I got a lot of different illnesses... My back hurts, my stomach has problems. I feel like an old man.🧓
So even fungus on the nails appeared!🥲
Now I'm actively treating it. penlac nail lacquer helps me with that. But I still haven't found a good ointment for my back... The pain is becoming unbearable.

I had back pain when I gained a lot of weight, but it went away after I lost all that weight.
Surprisingly HRT meds greatly reduced my anxiety and need for food, so I ceased overeating, and I have no problem eating below the body calories level, losing my weight on demand.
My stomach issues are also gone, but that is because I eat much healthier food and reduced my coffee to a single cup in the morning, although still a lot of cookies, because I can't live without sweets!

- Fallout
- Diddy Kong Racing

Noticing that the first LotR movie will be 20 years old this year.

I'M SORRY IT WILL BE WHAT

Ikr😅. I saw this movie in theaters 3 times back in the day and remains one of the greatest cinematic experiences of my life.

I was organizing my closet and saw my Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness GameCube...That thing is ancient.

Aside from turning 30 last year and my back in constant pain, just realizing that I don't have the energy of any kind (physical, mental, creative, etc) that I used to and it aggregates me to no end.

Other than the fact that I'm almost 31? Hmm. I still feel and look good. But, hard nights out at the bar are more difficult to recover from in the morning.

Last year was the 20th anniversary of Jak and Daxter.

I remember the toonami promos for the first game....

Previews of Neon Dynasty Kamigawa for Magic The Gathering. The long awaited return to the world of Kamigawa.......from 18 years ago.

A Zoomer coworker asked me what Mac(Apple) stands for.

I feel my mortality.

"Oh, so they named it after Applejack's brother?"

I'd have been a smart-aleck and say "Media Access Control". I mean MAC does stand for that... Just not when it's refering to the Apple Computers.

Seeing Daniel Craig's final James Bond film. Which is crazy because I still remember seeing Casino Royale in theaters (I saw all of his Bond movies in theaters) like it was yesterday. Add in the fact that 2022 is the series' 60th anniversary and all I can think is "Wait, didn't Bond just turn 50?"

 

[Sonofjafar]

Just the fact that kingdom hearts turns 20 this year. That means I was 8 years old when that game came out

After the trailer for the Mario movie coming out, the number of people online that have been going "Mario is an isekai now?", general shock at the notion he isn't a Mushroom Kingdom native, or speculating where Mario is from in that case, has had me mentally screaming " HE'S FROM BROOKLYN! HOW DOES NO ONE KNOW THAT?!" a lot today.

I mean yeah, the film's probably retconning it to New Donk City from SMO, but still has it really long that the Brooklyn backstory has been forgotten by the masses?

Sucker Punch turned 25 this year. I remember playing Sly cooper in middle school.

Damn its sad Jak and Sly got left in the history books...

Netherrealm just released a video celebrating the 30th anniversary of Mortal Kombat. That plus the realization that I myself am almost 30.
