Legos FTW 😀
Dad was a chef… that explains a lot.
Ahh…childhood memories. I was an Eighties child, born in '78, and having fond memories of a time before tech ruled (ruined?) children's lives. GI Joe battles were played out on the front patio, BB gun wars and other adventures "down the hill" (a valley with a creek in it separating our trailer park from the next) wearing my older brother's BDUs from the Army, NES cartridge swapping, and other activities that would be foreign to today's sheltered children.
Dad was an alcoholic and a career trucker who never mixed the two. Mom was a secretary back when the term wasn't considered derogatory, and my stepfather was a chain-smoking security guard making barely over minimum wage.
Still, we had food on the table and even got cable with a wired remote I'd trip over and cause my stepfather to cuss. The start of school marked new shoes and outfits for the year and Christmas virtually guaranteed a "big" gift from Dad. A 13" color TV one year, VCR another, finally an NES, and in '92 or so a SNES. Life comes quick, though, and by '98 I was a father myself.
Thanks for your political and cultural analysis, occult videos, and for sharing memories in videos like this. I watch daily and will continue to do so.
Kitty has got macros setup obviously
Hey, Styx… Do you know that in Vermont, in mountains Gross Vernes there is a tomb of the most famous Mescalero Apaches Chief Winnetou? 😎
You know nothing about Vermont until you read books by Karl May 😇
Aw…. Thank you for sharing. You are very young fine man Styx and your parents did an amazing job, a strong, smart, good bloke you are and so honest. It's a good place to land these days. I wish all the best in your life mate. ML 🧡
Its good to look back im happy you shared this with us all Styx thanks for making my morning better
Kitty caused a cat-aclysm or a cat-astrophe.
Would that be Woodstock in New York State? It is the only one I know of since I grew up in NYC during the Mad Men.
90s was an interesting time. I was the quite, nerdy kid so I got hassled a lot, and there were no other kids my age on my street. So I kinda missed out on a lot of things. Dad was away a lot too due to his engineering job. Still had some good times though. Summers saving up allowances so I could rent games for my Genesis, traveling with dad to look at jobs, hikes in the woods, watching Saturday morning cartoons, going out on the really crappy boat we had. When I got older and my dad's engineering business got established, we took a few holidays to Mexico and the Caribbean. That was neat. We're arguably better off now, at least materially and technologically. But there was a greater sense of optimism about the future back then that's completely missing now. People were also seemed less angry. But maybe that's just because I was a kid and ignorant of the adult world.
Great memories..
No mention of siblings, so I am thinking not.
Maybe expand on that 🤔
Hey, Styx, this was fun, interesting. Tell us some more.
Wow. I really don’t give a s***😂 more politickin and witchin’ monkey
Styx becoming an old guy & getting lost in his childhood. We all know the feeling. Our generation wasn't ever supposed to get old. The boomers mislead us.
Watching u for five years. The personal video better than all the independent politics talk. Love it
Ur confused about what "growing up poor" actually was
Us real poors never got any science sets or any Lego…we got a knockoff Lego which sucked.
I'm also from the last generation that grew up without tech and that being said I keep telling Gen Z kids to go touch some grass, ride a bike and have authentic human experiences with each other outside. When I worked in public education as a paraeducator the fifth graders celebrated their graduation outside by huddling together on their smart phones without saying hardly a word together. Discord is their AIM and is a great means to organize authentic human experiences outside but they seem afraid of the outside and are nervous toward each other. Then being locked up for almost two years and being afraid of other people's breath surely didn't help. Now I sound like an old actual baby boomer. I remember my WW2 veteran grandfather watching me play SNES in 1998 and he goes "why don't you go outside, boy?" Life is weird.
I take it you're an only child Styx. 😁
Our family was lower middle-class too. There were a couple of houses being built in my sub-division as a kid one summer- the site became an ever evolving kid-haven. We rode our bikes up the huge dirt mounds left after the foundations were dug, made ramps to jump our bikes off of, made forts out of the scrap lumber we scavenged. After the houses were framed out, we took those over when the workers weren't there. Running up and down the stairs & through the wall-less rooms, plugging in a boom box to play music after the electrical was run. Wouldn't go home till the street lights came on and we arrived home dirrrrrrrrrty, but happy.
Your Mum and Dad did good lad👍
I fucking love tide pools.
BEING close to the same age (A year older I think) damn it was almost the exact same! Except a chemistry set, I was a space nut and had a telescope and all kinds of books on that. Not going to lie, I miss the days before tech and am massively grateful for the first 8 years or so of my life without it. Fucking 90's man
Have you ever been to Wasps Dinor in Woodstock?
I used to vacation in Vermont, and gold prospect in Coolidge State Forest. By the way, don't speed through Bridgewater. Lol😂
I grew up in fairly modest means, lived at one time on the farm with no indoor toilet. We had water , first with no water heater, later we got one. Baths required heating water on the kitchen range in an old metal bucket, I believe it held 2 1/2 gallons. So washing with a dish pan was easiest. Sometimes I had lunches brought from home that I didn’t love, but it was good food, I mean good protein. It was a big challenge for my parents to provide for four children, but they did. It shapes my life, and I am glad to know how to make do with little. Sounds like your parents did a good job, and certainly you are a balanced adult. Having money is WAY easier.
As a fan of your channel and a Vermonter myself, I found this one very refreshing! Thanks! Cheers!
Nice story
Everyone is proud of you Styx even your enemies don't want to admit it
I remember riding bikes all day long. Playing in riverbeds. Frogs. And dirt clod fights. Good times.
You're still a ratboy. One day, perhaps, you may reach ratman status.
90s legos were the *best*! Did you ever play lego island on pc? Watch a playground l playthrough if not.
Bravo to your parents, Styx! They did a fine job!!
My home town has 500 people, 1 store with a “modern” cash register that’s broke most the time & hell no you don’t want to go there if you don’t know anyone, I love it
The older I get, the more apparent that growing up with both parents is the best path for flourishing. Having mom and dad together is more important than money, trust me on that one
Thank you for the insight. The Reminiscence makes for an interesting video for sure. What was a specific adventure you could tell us about? Ever encounter a dangerous situation in the early years? What did you do? Oh, and the Cat did it on purpose – of course 😉
No 10.2 story… da fuq
I was thinking of a cool movie script today with you as the lead character.

I love cats. Even when they are obnoxious.
Non-internet childhood proved to be beneficial. We were poor as well in my childhood, but it taught me not to waste money (or many other things), which was also a good lesson.
Hope your parents have had the opportunity to visit there in Nederland!
The wisest thing that should be on everyone's mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on the govt. Especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in Gold, Silver and digital currencies (BTC,ETH…)
Bro I'm 66,,I'm still going through my childhood
A lot of people didn't have a 16bit or better computer till like 2004+ and didn't bother with tcp/ip on 8bit on old machines they might have got cheap. Now all kids hide and are timid AF
You were not poor.
I used to get put on time out in my room, and I'd create masterpiece lego castles or starships… The joke was on my parents.
My greatest desire right now is to hear the Cracker Jacks dentist stiry.
I literally woke up yesterday reflecting on your consistent output and on how seriously you take the responsibility of the massive numbers of people you address every day, making sure we’re never blackpilled. It’s a beautiful balance all around. Thank you and All the Best! This was a brilliant video.
Will send $ when I can.
Your parents sound a lot like my parents and our upbringing is very similar and we were very close to one another lol. You grew up in Woodstock, VT while I was raised on the very outskirts of Claremont, NH only a few miles from the Vermont border. My dad worked on a dairy farm in Weathersfield, Vermont.
My childhood was pretty same much the same but things money wise got better after i turned 10. Plus I went HARD into music with drums then guitar and and bass then making bands playing old school metal and rock everything from AcDc to bathory.
