I do not actually but memory is shite lol

Broadband internet was a game changer. I spent a lot of time on fark.com and various other message boards. Chatted with friends over AOL instant messages and IRC.

There was a certain video format for Realplayer that seemed to be the extremely popular for a while and it still…. (Buffering)…. Sucked…. (Buffering)…. Ass

lol. Topical

Holy hell

He’s still using XP?? I’m guessing his computer isn’t online then?

I haven’t kept up with anything chiptune related in prob 10 years or so, so no I am not too familar with any new tools for the GB. I did enjoy making music on it though. It fun to work creatively when there are a bunch of limitations!

Do you make Gameboy music though? I used to really be into LSDJ. I know nothing about programming actual games though

As someone who came up with DnB thriving in the late 90s, this list is rock solid 🙌

Comprehensive! I was reading through seeing if you had an entry for Jump Up and you certainly did!

That’s the plan! I read it originally to quit cigs but ended up picking up the vapes.

I made it a month once. It’s really seated as more of a psychological addiction for me. I am going to try reading Allen Carr’s “The Easy Way” for quitting vaping to see if I can start the brainwashing process of not “needing” this fix.

Vaping nicotine. I know I can stop but it’s just a very difficult challenge for me. Still better than smoking cigs but I really need to let this vice go.

Fair enough. I’m not into most of that behavior either except for maybe the occasional low-effort shit post.

After almost a year of being Reddit free, I have been peeking back in there lately. It just doesn’t hit the same but I do lurk in some subs just because of the volume of content.

I do enjoy Lemmy though. I don’t feel as intimidated to make comments and like to feel we’re building something from the grass roots here.

Expand on this if you don’t mind. In what way does Lemmy disappoint you in how it resembles Reddit?

What?? KMFDM back in the 90s were groundbreaking with their name and album art alone. Very stylized, nihilistic vibes aesthetically when I would see their albums in the record store - even before I ever listened to them. Hell, I even shoplifted a cassette tape from Camelot Records when I was a teenager just cuz I was so intrigued as to what this band was about.

You’ve awakened my “old man yells at cloud” vibes with this one.

Going to try a new fancy pizza spot tonight with a ladyfriend! Excited!

Came here to say this. Always a good piece of solid advice IMO
