I'm talking like, your house is decorated like your favorite era, you use all the technology from then and refuse to use anything new, you might even black out current events and basically become a psychological hikikomori.
I have sorta been this way my whole life, considering I was a hikikomori since 12, but I would read the news and keep up with the latest media and technology so I always felt in the present.
At this moment I am so sick and fed up with the modern world all I want to do is become a full-blown hikikomori and live the rest of my life as if it's 1990 - 2006.
I'm homeless atm, but once I move into some place I'm going to decorate the place like my apartment with my okaasan was back in the early 00s.
I will only use a CRT tv, consoles up to the 7th gen and games up to 2007.
For music I will only use physical media such as cds and vinyl.
I will never expose myself to anything modern and if I ever go outside to go to somewhere I'll blindfold and wear earmuffs until I reach the destination.
Congratulations. You've graduated to curmudgeon.
So you use XP? You seem cool.
>I'll blindfold and wear earmuffs until I reach the destination.
Sounds like it will make life much more challenging, but I supposed if you never leave your house it doesn't matter much.
Seems kind of silly. Why do you want to avoid new things?

It sounds silly because it's clearly a j0ke thread.
I don't want my psyche affected.
I want to live and feel like I'm still living in the early 00s.

It is funny but is cutting a little close to the bone for me. As I suspect is true of the several here.
Everyone here does. This is a fucking textboard.
Yeah, don't mind me. Just posting on my PAL computer. Just posting on the technology of the 90s. People coming into my home and fucking up with computers. Stop insulting my computer, whore.
posting on a retard machine.
Anyone alt-right here?

I keep pressing the alt button and the right key, but nothing is happening. Is this some prank?
I've been thinking about doing this. It's tempting, but I'd first have to get enough content from the era to consume for years.
Maybe if there was an entire community dedicated to doing it, it'd be easier, since you could get stuff like recommendations from others, and maybe have a few deliver news from the outside world for any people willing to listen.
Modernsm doesn't even exist!
Make sure you only visit anime home pages linked from the Y2K era Anime Web Turnpike, as archived here:
https://web.archive.org/web/20000823000046/http://www.anipike.com:80/
Start an anime collection on VHS and laserdisc, especially laserdisc. Japanese loved laserdisc, and made thousand dollar box sets covered in original art that only a rich otaku could afford in the 90s, and LDs are cheap now, so you can afford a premium era correct anime collection on physical media.
OP, you sound like what I'll end up being like in about ten years or so, minus the homeless part (maybe).
What I do is carefully consider the utility of my purchases and where I choose to invest my time. I like to get advice of people who have experience in what I'm considering to assist in my decision to buy that thing. The new age or old age of that thing I'm buying is only a consideration for the situation of breaking down over time.
I believe that freedom is a high virtue so I consider getting my electronic devices in terms of how well it treats my freedom as a potential owner of that electronic device. It turns out that a significant portion of modern electronic machines have features that support the manufacturer's will as being a higher priority than the owner's will. For these kinds of devices, I will reject them because of my virtue of freedom being higher than the potential convenience that the machine would bring.
I personally have no problem ignoring advertising in video form, audio form, or in the form of still imagery. Does it affect my thinking? Probably, I can't be certain that it doesn't affect. What I do know is that I'd rather spend my precious brain time considering the utility and effectiveness of what I'm doing. That takes precedence over any autistic tantrum about easy to ignore noise.
Ive been living like this without even meaning to. its just the stuff i like, no gay ideology attached.
Well at least you found a way to feel good about consuming the Right Things.
