My kidneys are busted
Intentionally or otherwise

I managed to watch a lot of the AVGN when he started but completely opted out of the entire ecosystem that emerged from him. Didn’t even hate the other stuff, just never started watching it.

On one hand, I’m glad because it meant I never wanted my time on nostalgia critic and similar

I also totally had the opportunity to get into EVE with an old internet friend I’ve since lost touch with and I know now that the group they were with was the SA goon community. That seems like it’d have been cool but I though EVE online sucked

By the time I got around to making a MySpace it died within the year.

I missed out on early SA.

I missed out on becoming a billionaire with bitcoin or equivalent other internet scheme/dotcom investment, etc.

drat I had windows 8. I bought it at work, went home and was really disappointed. At least it was a free upgrade when windows 8.1 came out. 8.1 was at least serviceable since it brought back all the missing desktop features but drat was 8.0 dogshit. Who thought that was a good idea?

I never got the idea of snapchat, and have refused to join tiktok out of pure hatred for the format. The people who populate it do not get that brevity is the soul of wit, and are loud assholes to boot.

Early SA. I'm not sure I even knew this place existed until the early to mid 2010s, somehow, and I lurked for years before I finally bought an account.

ICQ; Second Life; early memes like chocolate rain, leave Britney alone, etc.

Oh no, second life is bringing back some cursed memories. My account is probably old enough to drive now. If you weren't making irl money off 3d modeling horsecocks then what were you doing?

I'm baffled anyone missed out on early youtube stuff though. Lol remember dramatic gopher L O L!? Roflcopter!

I've been present for most of the major SA sagas over the years but I completely missed out on Doobie. Felt like the last big hurrah for those kind of pile-ons before they migrated to Kiwifarms and started getting really dark.

I've never spent more than like 90 minutes total on 4chan in all my years online either, the format and culture just don't work for me.

I never did Limewire but I used Napster near the end of its life. Napster did nothing wrong.

Oddly enough, I don't remember doing Youtube much until around....2009, 2010 maybe? I'm not sure. I completely missed very early Youtube.

only thing i regret missing out on was the early webcomic wave. i dreamed of being a cartoonist as a kid and i had the technical knowhow to make it happen - just never put 2 and 2 together before the ship had sailed and the internet was already saturated with the stuff. i could'a been a contender!

most other stuff feels like bullets i dodged
