I have maintained a soft boycott against Amazon forever, but this was apparently the first thing I could only find there so I caved. CaptainSarcastic fucked around with this message at 05:53 on Dec 10, 2022 |

Remember when the Internet was still kinda new and you couldn't just look up tutorials for everything instead of buying books?

I'm also reminded of the time where it was better to buy a book to learn something than to try and read some lovely geocities site on a topic. With YouTube I can now learn cheap PLC ladder logic from an Indian with a thick accent overdubbed with royalty free music and the sound of a loud fan in the background. That said, genuinely, I thank you Indian randos for covering super obscure topics that no one but 12 other people and myself care about. I thank them for their service.

I didn't have much luck with multiplayer because I think it used GameSpy and the netcode was pure trash plus my internet sucked, but I loved the single player campaigns. Really wish it could get a modern rerelease, I forgot what was so problematic about AVP2 where AVP1 didn't have any issue getting on Steam. I'd kill for a remake.

According to them I ordered The Complete Tales of Winnie the Pooh and the DVD of Seven on December 19, 1998 But I know I’d ordered books in 1996 or 1997

It was the albums Fly By Night and Hemispheres by Rush. I ordered them in November of 2000. I hope this information has been helpful.

The Zune deserved better It was the last standalone .MP3 player I really liked. Even though I have to acknowledge I have appreciated my now like 10-year-old FiiO X1 player many a time when I was somewhere with no cell service, a problem I definitely thought we would have eliminated by 2022

CaptainSarcastic posted:You are aware that you can store mp3s on your phone, right? I used to do that but I would inevitably run out of space immediately and then get mad having to decide between songs and barely-used programs. I suspect this would no longer be a problem with modern phones but I mean, I already have the player with 60 gigabytes of all my top pre-2013 jams

My first one was in 1999 or 2000, I think. I was maybe 14, 15 probably not yet 16. For some reason I had my father's credit card information, and he had kinda/sorta given me permission to order a book online. It was The Dark Elf Trilogy by R.A. Salvatore. When the book arrived, dad forgot he had given me permission (or uhhh maybe he just never did) and I was in a lot of trouble but also because it was a book I think my dad felt like, at least this isn't a video game and didn't take it away from me. credburn fucked around with this message at 22:17 on Dec 10, 2022 |

When The Blair Witch Project came out I ordered the accompanying book, and 2 weeks later I received a random road map for some place. So about the usual experience even then.
