not really... i've gotten pretty acclimated to the idea of 2000s kids growing up and hitting their 20s and doing all the things people in their 20s do. why shouldn't they? i don't think it's healthy to obsess over how old you feel. i guess that's kind of hypocritical of me considering i was just talking about how my youngest sister is older than billie eilish, but it doesn't really matter. i used to have a lot of angst about it, but i don't anymore, really.
i guess there's a sense of perspective there too, like... i can't feel that old when there's people alive today who were born before the second world war. when there's people who basically remember what we think of as pre-modern society, people who remember the 60s and woodstock and watergate and shit... like... i'm not old enough to remember major political upheavals like the reagan years, the fall of the berlin wall and the fall of the USSR, the first gulf war, the rodney king riots, etc... even my memories of the time before mass internet usage are nascent and fleeting. if you think about it my entire purview of history is still sort of defined by this information-age post-cold-war view of things... i still share more in common with the kids for whom those signs are relevant than with, say, people who grew up in the 70s. |

Posted by DarkWitchClaire 1) making my own web page at the age of 6 using horizontal rule graphics i found online like rainbow lines, using some crappy WYSIWYG editor. i don't think it had any content 2) getting on pseudonymous non-registration For Kidz message boards and posting about pokemon and zelda (and writing terrible fanfiction) 3) signing up for a forum for the first time, seeing the stock FF7 avatars everybody had, and being a hyperactive little shit online Posted by DanikaDec 31 1969, 5:00 PM i've never bought a lottery ticket. i knew kids whose parents bought them lottery tickets to go along with their other christmas presents. i always thought that was morbid. |

2x 1440x900 dell monitors, both hooked up on VGA
because when all you can afford is crappy monitors, just chain them together |

nah, but later on i made little word documents with even more embarrassing fanfiction (this time sonic and invader zim fanfiction, lol) and sort of laid them out like little personal web pages. but i'd kind of been banned from being part of the web around the time i'd gotten ahold of microsoft word so it didn't even occur to me to try to make a public-facing web page. (parents found out about that forum i was on, they did not approve, long story) also didn't realize word could save .html documents until much later on. |

yes. it's a secret feature put in calculators when they were originally in the CIA, to prevent people from accessing the calculation history. just divide by zero and you've covered your tracks
update to earlier post: this. this rainbow horizontal rule. this exact gif, i saw in like 1996  |

would kafuka university be a real accredited university or would it be one of those shitty online degree mills that have ads with people in suits on them and have super questionable degree paths |

i'll vote for any candidate who promises to repeal DST (and/or make it year-round)
if bernie comes out now and says he'll abolish DST he will literally beat biden handily. no questions asked |

it was kind of a magical time. i miss personal web pages, i miss the awe at the capabilities of the internet. i miss early message boards and the sort of... camaraderie of being with and talking to people. the sort of like... emphasis on a person's personality and how they think rather than anything superficial and everything that rose out of that. you know? before social media fucked everything.
i've talked about it plenty before to the point where it's probably exhausting to hear anymore but yeah. i do miss the old web. |

Posted by Danikai MULLED over it for a bit, but i kinda disagree with this ruling. the original post states that names aren't allowed, not specifically proper nouns: Posted by Epele specifically, i always interpreted "names" as being given names or surnames, or names of corporations or other similar things, and the spirit of the rule is that to disallow arbitrary combinations of letters leading to easy victories. but "mars" as a name for a planet and roman god has a foundation in literature stretching back over centuries, it's in dictionaries, and it also has an adjectival form in pigmentation ("mars red" and such). hardly arbitrary, at least not any more arbitrary than any other word in the dictionary. there's also another adjectival form and common noun form derived from "mars", namely martian, which is not a proper noun. i feel like we wouldn't disallow (if, hypothetically, we ever got to this point lol) "martian" or "terrestrial", even though those are derived from names for planets, so why is the name of the planet itself an exception? anyway i'm just nitpicking at this point, it's not like it matters, we're already deep in a new game, but yeah... p.s. this post was a play too |

Posted by shanOG 7 isn't that good, honestly the remake demo's probably a better one to start with. original is tedious and boring and sucks at communicating its aesthetic & story lol. but if you're gonna play the original i think it's better to play one with a translation that's not the original 1997 one, that translation is assPosted by Robbie Rage 6 and 9 are really the better FFs if you go in for the story-heavy ones, they've aged a lot better if you want that Classic RPG Gameplay, 5 ain't too bad (probably 4 too, i haven't played it yet...) obligatory question: what fire emblem game should i start with if i was going to start with one |

hmm i dunno. really the recent strand of years from 2016-2018 were really good for me personally (even if they were shit for most of the country), i moved out of my parents' house and out of missouri and started transitioning and just became a lot more confident and happy. having an abuser harass me in 2019 kind of undid a lot of that but overall i'd say i'm in a better place than most of the 2010s, esp the middle
there's definitely a chunk of the late 90s where i was pretty oblivious and happy... the year 2000 comes close to being one of the best years of my life for sure. most of the early 2000s were pretty good too, really other than the constant 9/11 fear-mongering and watching bu$h do Iraq or whatever they were pretty idyllic (2004's when shit hit the fan; all the jingoistic rhetoric really started ramping up, then the abu ghraib stuff came out and it was sickening, plus i started hitting puberty and my dysphoria started getting pretty serious. i basically just zoned out and completely detached from everything by the end of the year lol) i guess if i have to pick one year, maybe 2010 actually? lotta good shit that year, first time i expressed any gender doubts to another human being and got acknowledged, basically the first time my egg cracked. plus just a lot of positive things, had my first girlfriend that year, the whole anime scene started really changing for the better, panty & stocking (the best anime ever) came out, it still felt like obama was gonna be a good president and not a neolib, and made a ton of cool ass musical discoveries. most other years i can name some huge massive negative that brings down my opinion some but 2010 didn't really have a ton of stuff like that. 2020 is looking mixed so far. lots of good, lots of really, really potentially bad. and scary. very uncertain year. particularly the election and coronavirus. i tend to feel worse in election years compared to most others. i hate the stress. |
