.... wish I had cable internet by the 2000s. Don't think I even had DSL till like '06 :/
Mid, yeah.
yea same
She hawt.
Nah, we had dial up at the time.
that's a dude
Ye olde AOL.
Yea i had dial up in the middle of nowhere, so it was super slow.
Instant cosplay, just dye the helmet yellow
lol
same laucivol. I didn't get the last of most of my favorite cartoons because I found a new passion. sleeping in on Saturday.
Ah, we were in the NW 'burbs of Chicago so.. had infrastructure.
There you go
Meanwhile we were just lower middle class
is that a character?
and couldn't afford it
I don't even know what cosplay that would be
lol
Celty from Durarara
I just like cat-ear helmets
Eh, we were middle class, but had different priorities. XD
Actually, and I'm loathe to admit it, we lived in a trailer park those years.
It was a priority for us 'cause our dialup was mooching off of my dad's work connection and we couldn't use it at the same time as his boss.
I had a PC since like, 93-94. I wanted a Sega CD, Dad wanted to splurge on a PC, so we bought Flight Sim 94 with a stick. lol
kek. this one is more a funny one from Russia
buuut
priority don't matter if you literally can't afford it
lol
oh and that's to say nothing of the issue of tying up the landline
lol yea, dial up was only used in the evening for me too.
Had a PC, kept it decently on point.. and we did have a Sega CD, too.. but that was when my dad was working so we were in a pretty good place.
I've acctualy never had cable. and never will not enough people live here. on the plus side I get to rant about politics out loud with no fear of anyone other than the squirrels hearing.
And an SNES.. that was a pretty rocking Christmas.
atm I have cable *internet*, but not cable TV
I think after my dad bought my sister an Atari with the ET game, that was the end of consoles for our house till N64.
