    It’s this supposed to make me feel better about being old?

      At a previous IT job, the department had been around quite a while. User accounts didn’t provide a start date - at least not one that I could see - but there were ways you could estimate the general length of time the user had been with the department.

      A few times, some aspect of those ways would cause a configuration or processing issue. For a while I was the only person handling … That department. Almost universally, after I fixed and explained the problem, the people having these difficulties would, mostly jokingly, complain about being old. I would say “you’re just a legacy user!” (or similar things) It almost always made them laugh.

      So - I wouldn’t call you old. You’re a legacy and I appreciate your tenure!

      It’s hard to say if the comic is supposed to make you feel better about being old. All we can say is that it was written with you specifically in mind.
