Colecovision crew checking in.

Also, if you didn't spend hours paying on a Commodore 64 then I'm not sure I can consider you to be fully human.

Bourgeoisie scum.

we're really the last generation where woods porn was a thing.

Would kids today bother picking up woods porn if they found it? Are they even allowed to go in the woods? SMH

1981 - Oregon Trail Generation

*Communism was a real and serious threat until the Berlin Wall fell a few years later as a direct result of Rocky IV.

Definitely a special few years that are either lumped in at the end of GenX or the beginning of the millennials that don't belong in either.

This article that nobody will read is spot on about the Oregon Trail Generation:

E: "Gen Xers were already fully formed teens or young adults when computers became mainstream and millenials can't remember a time before computers."

The most special of snowflakes. :rolleyes:

I remember reading claims that CD's were indestructible. You could throw them around like frisbees with no consequences.

How wrong that was.

I remember that. A metal and plastic disc certainly seems like it ought to be durable.

I like that now durability is barely even a consideration now. "Yeah, your igadget is going to break in a couple years, but that's good because there will be new version then. You want the new version, don't you? It's so shiney."

I remember having a limit to how many minutes a month I could be online. It wasn't a per minute charge, it was flat rate for 20 hours a month or something like that.

So I'd fire up my newsreader log in to the usenet servers, download all the headers from groups I liked. Log off. Decide which topics I wanted to read. Log on, download those messages, log off. Read the messages. Compose my witty replies. Log on to upload my replies and then log off again. Gotta go fast.
