Minecraft 15 years

Honestly I thought it was longer. The time when I first played it seems like a lifetime ago.

I honestly thought it was older than that.
I was sure the game came out before my 20s but I looked it up and you're right.

Damn.
I still remember playing the creative-only browser version for hours on end...
Edit: I miss the original sponges. Just place, and all water around it is permanently kept at bay. No drying needed. They made for some interesting water features.

I know the exact day I was made aware of Minecraft, Sept. 17th, 2010, because it was from this Penny Arcade comic:

I never got into it, though. I prefer games with more structure.
- More structure? May I introduce you to modded mc? /j
- I remember the exact date I found out about it too. July 18th, 2009, JayIsGames had a review of it. I like to go back and read that every few years. G summoned mobs! You pressed B and got a whole page of blocks to pick from! Sponges sucked up water! Of course they do that now, but there was a good few years where they didn't. Ah the memories

Halo is almost a quarter century.
Wolfenstein is 30ish
Now, imagine how us Gen-Xers who grew up with Karateka or Epic Games feel.

Feels like much longer.
- that's what i was thinking... i guess games like Fortnite and Roblox coming along made Minecraft feel older than it is. (never got into any of them so they're pretty much the same category for me)
- Honestly yeah. I bought it for like 3 bucks right after the indev version was released on pirate sites. That feels like ages ago

I thought "came out" was when the game left the Beta stage (that was in 2011 during Minecon btw). In that logic, it's only really 12 years ago.
But since Minecraft officially considers itself to be 15, I'd say I stand corrected.

Me realizing terraria came out 72 years ago
- Want to feel old? Duke Nukem 3D came out closer to the collapse of the Ptolemaic Dynasty than to the present day.
