GOOD TIMES ON METH posted:What does TFF think about the potential resurgence of the 2014 'tumblr girl' aesthetic, as predicted by NYT fashion writers? As long as super low rise jeans don't come back in a huge way for women I don't care. If it means my current leggings and oversized sweater/sweatshirt combo stays acceptable to go out in public in then folks can go right back in time to the 90s where we had frosted brown lipstick and body glitter everywhere.

Same but if we're doing 90s clothes again, I want my grunge back. Or the flowery dresses with the little t-shirts underneath. Those were fun.

I know we've done a lot of Homefield talk, but has anyone else picked up Ebbets Field stuff? My wife got me a vintage Atlanta Crackers hat for Christmas and its bomb as hell. They've got a lot of awesome shirts and stuff on there too. Hard recommend.

I basically wear jeans and a button-down shirt, occasionally with a sweater, and that's been my style for like 20 years. Edit: Hell, my haircut / style hasn't changed in 20 years.

I just wish I could get the old American Apparel triblend track shirts from like 10-12 years ago still. The newer ones aren't nearly as good, and I still have 4 or 5 from way back that are hanging tough. No labels, fit great...best shirts I've ever owned.

Yeah I’ve got some AA shirts via Threadless from goddamn college 15 years ago that are still doing just fine, unreal lasting quality. Whether it’s good that I still wear them, I mean, come on, that’s not the point.

Whether it’s good that I still wear them, I mean, come on, that’s not the point. Yeah, they held together well. They started selling them again and I picked up a few but the quality isn't the same. Loose threads, don't fit quite as well, fabric and stitching isn't as good. They're still not bad, but I've never found another tee that was close.

My daughters have commandeered them now.

Gildan bought AA when it went bankrupt and promptly ruined what made them good, but the AA guy started a new company after being forced out called Los Angeles Apparel that supposedly uses the same fabric and cuts as AA. Dov’s probably still a sleaze though so I guess consult your own moral compass before patronizing his company.

They have a store in Seattle near the ballpark and I bought a Seattle Rainiers shirt from them way back when. I’ve since ordered like three more shirts. It’s is very difficult flipping through the catalog and not buy like half of it.

There's no ethical consumption under capitalism, I just want decent affordable normal tee shirts. Thanks for the recommend(ish)

My maternal grandparents had one of the first computers in our tiny town and dial up in the early 90's. I wrote my "please choose me for our town's spring fair pagent" essay on it in between my grandpa playing a lot of Doom. My paternal grandparents also had a computer with AOL and I got my own account as a pre-teen in 1999, I think. My friends and I used to to go to random chatrooms and AOL specific message boards for like Lord of the Rings and Sailor Moon since my account was not age restricted. ~~memories~~

I just remember all the trial discs of Rise of the Triad, Wolfenstein 3D, Doom.... Flipping a billion 3.5 floppies to play 688 Attack Sub. Great times. My first real PC gaming experience was switching out like 100 5 1/4 floppies to play the original Mechwarrior. It was a real lesson in pain.

Haha, cheat code searches took up so much of my time back in the day. Pre-google and everything. Its odd to think of a time with multiple search engines, and there were so so so many in the dawn of internet proliferation.

Mech2 looked incredible for its time, and, honestly, the gameplay still holds up. I keep it and Ghost Bear's Legacy (I never liked either installment of Mercenaries) installed on a WinXP machine I have in my closet. Given how much of a clusterfuck MechWarrior 2's production was--they were doing some insane programming tricks to get it to run--it's a miracle it turned out as well as it did. The soundtrack is still an absolute banger, too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GM3MwpkVYKQ Braksgirl posted:I got a Commodore 64 when I was 10 and I thought I was hot poo poo. We had some sort of Atari computer when I was a Tiny Timby, and all I remember of it is getting blisters on my fingers from using some atrocious Epyx controller to play Winter Games.

Or I couldn't make it work, I'm sure there are ways but I was too lazy. Yeah, and even if you did there was no software clock-limiter on old old games that ran on like 386 25-75MHz systems. I ran into the same problem when I built a "blazing" 1.4Hz AMD system in college and wanted to play Falcon 3.0 and Tornado. They were unplayably fast and would load but the games were out of control and you'd just crash on takeoff again and again.
