its neat, but its not the same. old internet was more than a thing. it was an era.

Man I miss the old internet…

feels like its 1998 and I’m listening to MTV while browsing the web on AOL with that gif, lol

We’re soon going to end up back in the early/mid 90s where the only way to find something is via a internet yellowpages… only this time, not because search engines dont exist yet, but because they are completely worthless garbage.

Or deploy on orders, then stand with the protestors against ICE

if ublock origin stops working, you can erase your youtube cookies or wait a few hours for a ublock origin update to work around it.

Ironic that just yesterday I was getting blocked on youtube telling me that adblocking was illegal/against tos/whatever and that if i didnt want Ads I could subscribe to Youtube Premium… only now to announce ads on premium.

What a fucking shithole company.

edit

and they continue to take no accountability for failing to police their own ads, thus creating the essential need for adblocking services in the first place.

WE WOULDNT BE BLOCKING ADS IF YOU REGULATED ADVERTISERS LIKE YOU ARE TRYING TO REGULATE VIEWERS.

To many people care more about their immediate shiny than any lasting harm their actions do in the world.

Just look at how quickly the Nintendo Switch 2 sold out preorders, despite explicitly telling customers they won’t even own the device, and thus nintendo can fucking brick the thing whenever they want.

I’d prefer she take up parachuteless BASE diving, personally.

I want to know how Half Life ends. I couldnt give a shit about fan shit. Some of its good and engaging, not putting it down, but its not relative to the current issue… I want the conclusion to the fucking story I paid for and got massively invested in, in 2004. That I bought the next chapters of in 2006 and 2007.

Two things piss me off like nothing else when it comes to media.

Stories that leave you on a cliffhanger and never finish.

and Stories that are amazing all the way up until the end, when someone just decides to squeeze a big fat wet turd out and said good enough (Fucking mass effect…)

I’d rather spend 18 years being blueballed and cockteased by Bea Arthur.

don’t put it past nvidia.

they gotta fulfill those unrealized promises about native 4k gaming somehow.

Thats just social media.

Which is why social media shouldnt exist. cause its not good for anyones health.

30 years old next year 😭

Valve has said on at least a couple occasions they don’t really have interest in making games anymore, unless there is some new technology they get interested in that they can make a game around.

The HL2 episodes were basically tests for different source engine technologies.

Alyx was basically then playing around with VR.

So yeah, I can totally see some weird fucked up thing like a brainchip being what HL3 is built around, if HL3 ever stops being anything more than a syphilitic hallucination of a desperate mind.

kinda brave of you to believe in valve even if they produced a trailer.

Can he no longer enjoy life cause he logged into chaturbate.

Or did he never enjoy life, because his moms a miserable kind of cunt that announces to the world her sweet baby boy looked at THE PORNOGRAPHY and is stirring up a massive, baseless lawsuit over it, thus traumatizing the fuck out of him… which I imagine isnt the first time shes done so.

edit Whats the running bet on if the kids even allowed to have a bedroom door?

Is this cause of the money they lost from the google thing?

sung to the tune of I need a hero.

UN keeps wringing its hands about it, without wanting to do anything about it.

Its not entirely new.

in the 80s parents wanted to offload parenting onto the TV.

in the 90s parents wanted to offload parenting onto teachers and babysitters.

aughts parents wanted to offload parenting onto computers and video games.

now parents want to offload parenting onto cellphones and tablets. Cant tell you how many kids, even super young kids, I see with their faces absolutely glued to a cellphone or tablet. Even in my own family. Kids as young as 5 had their own smart phones, with completely unsupervised use.

and the one common thread in all of that, is how the parents never take responsibility for the damage their unparented, unsupervised children do or suffer.

Its always everyone elses fault. Its never mommy and daddy, who cant be bothered to give little Timmy even 5 minutes of their day, who is at fault.

I just don’t understand why people have or keep their kids if they hate them and don’t want to be bothered by them. It’d be less traumatic for a child to be given up for adoption and end up with a loving family, than to be raised by these types of people.
