Summer, 1998. Where sweets were sold as sour syrups in a squeeze tube and had flavors like Radical Blue Razz.

Which also happened to be my stripper name.
I was fired pretty quickly from “Dudes! Dudes! Dudes!”
Back when everything was inexplicably EXTREME!!
Back when Pokémon was still in black and white
Dark green and light green
And you had to hold it juuuust right to get the ambient light to illuminate the screen because they weren’t backlit.
And spamming the A button DID make the Pokeball capture at a higher rate
Red and blue ;)
Thanks for posting the reference, it was new to me.
You’re very welcome!
makes mocking gestures at ExLisper 😁
I mean we still make marmelades and compots and such here.
Most of my childhood was in the early 2010s but for me it was like I was living in the 90s because I was always at my grandparent’s. They had all sorts of retro tech I played with as a kid. I burned CDs, I listened to cassettes and I had no internet, ever. My first exposure to a PC was with a mid 80s PC clone running Windows 1.0. So it’s probably something like this
What a difference in time perception we have, it’s wild, cause the early 2010’s was full on PS3 and late-early YouTube era for me. I think everyone I knew around me already was pretty connected to the internet. But yeah 10 years before that, I could see your grandparents’ situation being commonplace. Glad you had that time to discover all this awesome technology !
My brother had internet access over 3G but he wouldn’t let me use it, but sometimes he gave me some new games to play. That’s how I got to play Minecraft and that’s how I learned programming with Game Maker. But yes, I also had a Wii and a DSi but I had just a handful of games, so I played Pokémon White all day and almost finished it three times
It’s the late 1900’s
Ah, the Gay 90s!
Can I put a bird on it?
My mother still makes jams and preserves, and I may follow in her footsteps, cause the trees in my yard will likely outlive her.
maybe some parts of the former Soviet Union
Summer of 98 was a fuck face joke for a while too
A what joke? 🤔
Was a podcast produced by Roosterteeth before rebranding to “regulation” after RT was shut down featuring Andrew, Nick, Eric, Geoff and Gavin.
