Collecting Tamagotchi and other virtual pet toys is my dumb nerdy hobby!! You may be pleased to learn that they're still making the drat things. The modern (Japan-only, lol) releases are in full colour and use NFC for communication between the toys and with smart devices. The ones in Walmarts right now are actually a rerelease of the Mini version from 2005, rather than the 90s ones. Raku Raku Dino-kun is actually a great pet and was frequently knocked off, itself! The genuine ones sell for pretty good prices online.

Decidedly not adult, but this image gave me violent flashbacks to Sharky & George, which I have extremely vague memories of watching (though not enjoying) as a kid. It appears to have only survived in bad transfers, though based on my memories, it may have been that dim on broadcast as well. The repeat animation in the intro definitely seems like a mark of poor quality. Thanks for that!

I remember the screens when you quit the shareware version of dooms 1 and 2 said you'd call and get a code to unlock the rest of the levels?? So there was probably an easy crack unless I'm tripping balls

Yeah growing up I only knew of hot topic through goth whispers on the neopets message boards. Our local bong shop, of all places?? filled the niche until Canada got its first hot topic in like 2010

Randaconda posted:Being bi is lesbian betrayal? Ohhh boy, save yourself and never get a Tumblr account I was born 1994 so I never knew a time before CDs, but for the first ten or so years of my life tapes still had a major presence because they were considered lower risk to give to children. You don't have to be careful about holding them by the edges and you can fix them if they get a little damaged

Well if we're having this conversation, the stereotype I've seen online is that bi people are actually out to convince men that queer women can be part of their dating pool, and thus increase the number of men who will pursue and ultimately attack lesbians for turning them down, because... Bi women hate lesbians, for some reason. Tho tbf I have seen way too many of my fellow bis push 'sexuality is fluid, you might not stay homosexual forever! Don't stay homosexual forever. Stuck in the 70s. Not woke' bullshit so However this has been almost entirely internet bullshit, lesbians and bis are on the whole extremely chill and good

McDonald's like 5 years ago had grilled cheeses in the kids menu, they were made from those circular middle breads, and getting a pile of them was the pro vegetarian McDonald's option. They don't seem to be an option any more
