it would be funny if microsoft mass produced windows merchandise and not just as limited promos. microsoft agent badges like clippy? icon plushes? windows 95 logo hoodie? sign me up
the funny thing about vgmdb is that if someone misspells your name on a release, it will be immortalised and treated as a "variation" on your profile
found this iconic old clip from a canadian tech tv show covering youtube for the very first time in 2005 and calling it 'flickr for videos'
myspace relaunching? cool i guess? but doesn't change the fact they wiped tons of old files in 2018 and tried to pass it off as a server failure when ppl noticed a year later
you should keep random screenshots. they'll be time capsules in 5-10+ years
it's very important that you care for your baka properly by giving them the correctly colored beverage
back in 2013 i got a megadrive model 1 with 10 games from a charity shop for £30. how times have changed while 2013 was well into the internet age, it seems it was before the collector scene got big enough for charity shops to find out and adjust prices

the funny thing with special interests is that i can often go months with having little interest in them. recently my interest in old ringtones has resurged again, esp with the bad news about nokia's archives. i am normal
always happy to chat with mutuals and oomfs. i don't bite, instead i purr and rub my face on your hand
thinking of sky games... this was a small part of my childhood and it's sad the games weren't preserved
realizing how much easier it is to manage a large archival project with trello. there's so many things to keep track of and you can't always rely on memory
touhou is such an engaging series because ultimately it illuminates a core dream that a lot of us have: being able to regularly visit your insane lesbian friends and bother them a bunch
i bet if the people who composed all those LG ringtone bangers with 10K+ likes were known they'd have gotten to work on the Next Big Indie Game by now
