Peak nostalgia

full nostalgia 🐵 favorite childhood game: Virtua Cop

I used to check movies and show times for the day

Bonus if you can name this game. Double bonus if you can share some cheat codes you used 😂 Probably my earliest PC game.

Was having a conversation with my SO today. I think we’re probably the last generation who watched animated shows on TV as kids, as now the new trend is of “iPad” babies who watch content online? We started discussing about how the channel you used to watch as a kid tells you so much about that person. Like kids that watch Nickelodeon were so different than the kids who used to watch Disney. And the Cartoon Network kids were unhinged. 👀 Man, I don’t know how old is this audience but we used to have shows like Avatar-The Last Airbender, Kochikame, Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokémon. And much before that Oswald, Noddy, Dexter’s Laboratory, Powerpuff Girls etc. What is your favourite animated show from back in the day? Would love to hear some stories. [Edit 1]: Grapevine has added a new edit feature on posts, and I am definitely watching Gravity Falls as recommended by DrProduct [Edit 2]: That comment has been deleted since then. 👀

I’ll go first, getting that old PSP, the one which had WiFi in built. Or maybe PlayStation 2 which was like 5k-6k back then. Now, I could get a PS5 or buy games to play on my PC, but the feeling is lost. Just like my childhood. I guess I lived a part of my childhood today. Went on a walk and had a Cornetto IceCream, which back then I didn’t have the money for and had to buy an Orange/Cola IceCream. Then, I walked around my society. Saw a few kids playing football and instantly teleported back to when I was a kid. Now that child is gone and the dream has too. But still, it feels good remembering that 5 year old me would be proud of adult me, and that’s what truly matters. 🥰

Was curious what are the best apps/products that are no more around, but were great at one point. I feel like there might be some insights here if everybody chimes in, maybe something we need to bring back alive?
