Alcohol

I rarely drink so if it were eliminated I wouldn't lose out much except for the occasion I want a frozen Pina Colada.

I had a 400lb customer with an ahegao shirt on and he smelt like absolute SHIT. Bro was every caricature you would think for someone wearing that.

I can't say much though since I have the sweats

I got the Blu-Ray collection on Blu-Ray like a decade ago. I would never pay for a digital copy, lol.

And yet, prior to social media, doxxing, brigading, and online stalking were incredibly rare. Misinformation was not remotely as prevalent, and I cannot stress that enough. "Text/Desk Neck" was not remotely as common. Literal hoax news sites were few and far between (SEO abuse for monetization on social media didn't exist yet, obviously) and were mostly restricted to pranks like Bonsai Kitty.
Stupid "challenges" were few and far between (the choking game has had a pretty long shelf life, but "challenges" that involve committing actual crimes and other socially destructive behavior generally did not exist on a large scale)

Look at the shitstorm that happened during the Pandemic. For fuck's sake, in various parts of the world you had people suggest things like snorting coke, drinking industrial bleach, eating datura/angel's trumpet, or snorting (yes, SNORTING) lemonjuice.

It seems like once smartphones became the predominant phone we all have is when it really got the worst with always having a computer in our pockets.

Tie between Attack On Titan, My Hero Academia, and Demon Slayer.

I'm a few episodes into Azumanga and boy is it hilarious, definitely looks like it'll be a favorite of mine.

Also love K-On. As a big classic rock fan, I always appreciate the references and nods to the greats in that show, and of course the great dynamic between all the cast.

Mario Kart 64, I believe? Still my favorite game too

Back in high school me and my did went to Burger King when a buddy of mine was working there, I got one of those quad stackers and he ended up putting two more patties on it for me. Felt like fucking Shaggy with that thing, lmao.

In the summer? Turned off. I hate the heat

Gonna really miss message boards. This site was pretty much the last sorta bigger one besides rateyourmusic. Internet truly peaked in the late 00s and early 10s.

Shame to see the way the sites going. This site is really one of the very few relics of the "old internet" that is still around and hanging on. I mean after GameFaqs goes, what do you really have left? 4chan? Not much at all. With all these changes, I'm sure it's only a matter of time till they come for CE and fully neuter this site.

Just look at Gamespot. I used to use that site all the time in the mid 2000s and it was lively and tons of gaming and non gaming discussion. Now it's a terrible looking barren wasteland and that's the future I see for this site sadly.

Honestly like some others have said it seems intentionally vague so they can ban people at their will. These are puritan levels that would make a Mormon blush.

Eh, it was decent but not amazing IMO. The only CN shows I'd consider to be on that tier are Ed Edd & Eddy, and maybe Adventure Time.

Regular Shows clears Adventure Time. Ed, Edd and Eddy is a tossup though. Animation wise it has Regular Show beaten by far, but humor? That's a close ones.

Mad because now I probably have garbage red ones instead.

Orange > pink > yellow >>> red

Yep. Even all these years later and hundreds of shows I've seen, it's still in my top 5 favorite.

I was a dumbass yesterday. Totally forgot about the sneak peak and went to my locals right as it was finishing up. Wouldn't be so bad if the shop wasn't over an hour away...

At least I picked up some cards for my Horus Stun deck.

Isn't that crazy? Sometimes I wonder if there was a person that actually downloaded and backed up all these videos beforehand which got deleted and is sitting on a treasure trove of internet history.

One of these days I do plan on going through all 4,000+ vids left and downloading the top classic ones.

I've always been a fan, but I was surprised years ago to see that he still is ranked so high, even moreso than Michael Jackson, Zep, and Elvis, and only being beaten by The Beatles.

Also pretty funny when anyone outside the US is like "Who??".

It was my literal favorite pizza as a kid and it's still great to this day.

Probably the best fast food pizza place around today. Only pizza places I prefer are a few local ones.

There are so many obscure YouTube videos I've lost. I've made a habit of downloading videos or music that I worry may disappear.

My YouTube favorite playlist is like 18 years old at this point and I know for a fact there's some real classics on there that were deleted and totally lost to time.

I guarantee the only training she did for this fight was 2 sets of 10 brunch presses and 3 sets of 10 lunches.

Lmfao. If you came up with that, kudos, that's hilarious.

Also, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Dexters Lab, Ed, Edd, n Eddy, Hey Arnold!, Angry Beavers, all had great art styles.

Edit: I just remembered that Ed Edd n Eddy is Canadian. Still western, though.

I think EEnE was the last cel shaded cartoon as well?

Lamp oil? rope? bombs? You want it CE? It's yours my friend, as long as you have enough karma

I wish more western cartoons looked like the stuff in OP (minus Rick and Morty) tbh. Nowadays so many cartoons look like a fucking Adventure Time rip off. I'm so sick of that calarts kinda style on so much stuff in the west, whether it's for adults or kids. Sure we occasionally get something like Primal, but that is the VAST minority. It does seem like we are slowly moving away from that god awful style, but it's still the most popular by far.

Anime at least is appealing to look at for the majority of shit coming out. Like Frieren, Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, Oshi No Ko, and Jobless Reincarnation are all visually appealing and distinctive from one another.

His Dough reviews these days are pretty solid and the Dark Toons series is fun.

Nostalgia Critc went to crap when he focused more on the skits and really hit the wall when he did the Pink Floyd The Wall review. The few I catch these days seem to have cut back on that thankfully.

Different games had different focuses. Like, it LOOKS pretty but there's no music.

Check out the tunes on this game:

Never knew this game had a 2600 port. Used to play the arcade version back in the day and really enjoyed it!

The Toad is dubious on the veracity of these statements.

Also there is like 2-3 red flags I can see but you do you.

Nice name there

Goldeneye for me. Still one of my favorite games to this day. It's still a blast to go back to and has aged perfectly fine. Only issue is framerate on occasion when a lot of things are happening on screen.

One of the biggest problems I had with Perfect Dark back in the day is how god damn dark some of the game was, even on my old TVs as a kid. Great game with some more multiplayer options though.

Kind of incredible a game that looks like this was on the 2600. Only other game I can think of that comes close is maybe Yars Revenge?

What kind of deck do you use?

Was on anti-meta stun this week. Probably will be until the next banlist drops.

Usually after my Yugioh locals, me and my buddies either get Popeyes or a late night diner.

Gotta say, a bit disappointed. Food was alright, but Popeyes clears them EASILY.

There's no point to paying for any streaming service, I say that as someone who still pays for Netflix

Everything gets uploaded to the internet the very next day

Yep. I even have Amazon Prime, but now with the ads I just find what I want by other means online.

Glad I play like 95% retro, indie, and Nintendo. With so many other distractions and hobbies these days, I see little reason for playing modern games really.

"My goal is to bring this country together. I believe in that. There will be no endorsement. At this level of influence, I will keep my politics to myself. It is between me and the ballot box."

I see nothing wrong with that statement.

You still in hs or something lol

Nah. Once you've had legal weed and don't have to worry about problems that persist when your state still doesn't have it legal recreationally, you never wanna go back.

I think that's one of the issues with society always being online and filmed 24/7. It used to be the stupid shit you did as a kid or young adult would get lost to time and forgotten, but now that can follow you 10+ years later when you're a totally different person.

Thankfully it will blow over and/or people just move onto the next issue they pretend to care about, but still sometimes people get fucked over for dumb shit they did years prior.

It's been a few years since I went clubbing. Occasionally go out to the bars, but it's usually friends or my brother wanting to do so.

I'd rather just drink at a buddies and have a good time tbh.

Where weed legalization?

That and healthcare/wealth inequality I suppose.

We knew it was gonna eventually happen since Netflix and recently Hulu. I actually thought Disney+ would have already done so since it's bundled with Hulu for a lot of people.

I'll ride off my buddies accounts and just go back to sailing the seas again soon it seems.

I can't imagine why someone would want to travel to India, especially if they're a young and attractive woman. Seems almost as bad as Egypt.

Spider-Man 2. Ive never understood the love for it.

100%. I've never cared for Spiderman in general, but that one is such a clear step down from all the others. At least the first one had Macho Man.

Logan and The Dark Knight feel less like actual superhero films, which is usually for the better, and Infinity War is a great multi-year buildup.

Named after the worst Beatles song.

(Yeah, I said it.)

Nah, one of their best, especially when you know the context and reasoning behind the song.

Can't believe I'm just hearing about season 2 now

Money. None of those guarantees money even with the skills. Besides a mechanic, it's all luck to get noticed. And you can make good money as a mechanic, but not 25mil good.
