Breakfast Feud posted:Goof is/was a synonym for bitch in prison here in Canada. Not sure if that's changed or just local to the prairies but when the corrections officer came to talk to us at cadets he said the worst thing you could ever call someone in prison is a goof. It means child molester in prison here in Ontario

The_Franz posted:another thing kids who grew up in the new millennium will never experience: fuzzy analog tv reception Hell, a decent amount of 80's kids wouldn't have had to deal with broadcast tv. I grew up way out in the woods. Cable didn't come around till '91 or so. Before that we had one of those giant directional roof antennas strapped to the chimney. It was attached to a motor and there was a control box in the living room to adjust it. We also had the proper direction for each of the 5 or so channels we could pull in written on a piece of tape next to it. I hated when I wanted to watch something on the little TV in the bedroom but my parents had the antenna turned to a different direction for the news or something. Cable was a goddamn revelation after having to use that thing. Even though there were only 40 or so channels at the time. The old antenna got some use after that though. It worked great for FM radio. We were in South Central PA and could pull in stations from Philly and Baltimore with that fucker.

I collect and trade old audio gear, so I have a amongst other things a Sony TC-D5 Pro II cassette recorder, a Pioneer 3-head tape deck, a portable Sony minidisc recorder and a Sony hi-fi minidisc deck. I've also been through about 20 record players in the last two years. What all of these things have in common is that if I get media of great quality, I manage to hook up some good connections and dial in the record levels just right and I wait for a couple of hours while the recording is made at the speed of regular playback, I can listen to the result and think to myself "Wow... This sounds almost as good as a regular CD!"

I traded a N64 with 4 controllers, the ram pak and all the good games to EB for one of these. Cause my AMD K6 2 550 ran like poo poo with the ATI rage board I had. Sure, it ran half life really well but I wish I had that N64 now. [img]Voodoo3 https://imgur.com/gallery/1WTMP[/img]

Thinking about those school fundraisers where kids would sell wrapping paper or other poo poo no one wanted and were baited with crappy prizes. Anyone else remember how everyone would get the lower tiers except for some kid who had a dentist or something for a parent and had them do all the work.Grumbletron 4000 posted:Yeah, I've been there. Anyone who used tapes on a regular basis had a few that got lunched. Vinyl is a different animal. Hipster or not, It sounds different than a CD or digital. For better or worse It's subjective. That's an argument for another thread cause vinyl was gasping it's last in the 90's. Tapes and CDs were more portable, and recordable. CDs sounded great, and were also portable. So that's what we liked. It's weird that knowing what records were was treated as an unheard of anachronism by 90s media and now they're back. Also lol at CDs being portable. Barely touching a Discman made it skip.

Maybe if you had a crappy one. And even then you could fit dozens of discs into a case to carry around

Anyone else remember how everyone would get the lower tiers except for some kid who had a dentist or something for a parent and had them do all the work. I was barely able to convince my parents to buy enough for that first tier which was usually something stupid like a button or a couple stickers. super sweet best pal posted:Also lol at CDs being portable. Barely touching a Discman made it skip. I had a portable CD player, I think it was an RCA, and I had this purse thing that had a compartment for 3 Jewel Cases, plus a zipper on the bottom for the headphones. I tell you, that CD player was a beast, I'd lug it around in that purse at high school and it never loving skipped with the 4 second skip protection off. I think I forgot to pack it when I moved 5 years ago, otherwise I'd still have it because drat that thing was still ticking last time I tried it.

And then you’d miss the couple of channels you wanted to see and have to wait for the whole thing to cycle through again… This is one of the many reasons I thought the satellite tv at my grandmother’s house was badass. “I- I can scroll through the guide at my own pace? I can JUMP TO SPECIFIC CHANNELS? Yesss.”

You could set it up universal remote style to change the channel for you (it would input the channel number). Of course we also still had TV Guide like everyone else back then, I still cringe whenever I see the new magazine sized TV Guides.

I was too old by a couple of years when Tamagotchis became a thing but I gather if you were in the right age group, it was something most kids had, but of course, they turned out to be just another fad that hit the clearance shelves the next season. I also remember when the newspapers and magazines ran articles the year after Tickle Me Elmo was the hot holiday toy (apparently ignited thanks to Rosie O'Donnell mentioning on her very 90s talk show that her kids loved it) claiming that the next step in talking dolls, the Furby, a "smart toy with a personality that develops and learns about you" was THE future of kids' toys. Nope! Iron Crowned posted:Yeah, the remote for it had a basic thumbstick for navigation and a couple buttons. That reminds me: shallow thumbstick-style buttons on remotes. I remember from the mid-90s onward that was a hot design for the latest components but haven't seen a remote with that for a while and I think the last time I did was for the last VCR we had.
