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.

I amusingly use my steamcast more to stream sportspuck to the TV than I do to play games lol

Though we - mind you we were like 8 or so - got stuck & loved the first little area of the world map for Super Mario World. Man, good times.

The world was a simpler place, then.

I've got shitty sattilite internet. good thing I'm primed for low speed internet.

Yea, I have good member berries about riding my bike to friends and play mario at their place.

Well, we'd go downstairs (apartment) and play Mortal Kombat.

On their Sega Genesis.

Those bikes get me going

lol yes, MK OG was great.

Because we weren't allowed MK.

hehe

Eventually we convinced our mom to permit Street Fighter, though.

So we held tourneys up at our place.

People are saying Climate change is a thing.
Animals decaying, and makes CO2.

Well, Co2 gives plants food, to make oxygen.
And
>Animals decaying "Where does oil come from!"

Think for MK my fav was Sonya & for SF it was Dalysim (spelling)

My parents never really sheltered me from anything, if anything my older sister would watch horror movies all the time with me around.

my grandma had cable so I got a bit cartoon network. unfortunately I hated dbz for the longest time because I started watching during the absolute worst arc conceivably possible.

my parents tried keeping me off the simpsons but ultimatly it backfired when I got old enough to pretty much be my own man.

Yeah, they did have some clear barriers.. that we flaunted from time to time, as boys are wont to do.

lol the simpsons

dbz part 3million goku sneezes tune in next week to see freiza say bless you.

Did you grow up in a christian household?

Simpsons was on the list until we got to puberty, but that was mostly because my mom went kinda nuts as my dad fell infirm.

lol damn

Eh, the Christian part didn't inform the morals of the matter.

my dad was anti simspons too, there was a small tv in the basement... therefore we practically lived in the basement to watch the simpsons. In the first few seasons there were some raunchy ideas true but as a kid had no idea what it was

Ah i see
