Beyblade coffee shops start popping up.
Brooooo I forgot about that hahahaha
Don’t lie to yourself. That’s a Giga Pet and you know it.
It’s a digimon digital pet, and SuperNova 2, you’re right, I’m a fraud!
I’m keen. Who else?
Also, these two are related:
Whoah! Slow down there, kiddo. Some of have a bung knee. We’ll have to do Time Crisis 2 instead.
Yeah that’s jazz, jack!
My 13yr old collects Tamagotchis, and my 17yr old watches VHS tapes because she likes analog horror. So…yeah, I’m already there.
“Analog horror” is such a hilarious phrase.
I mean, I get it – Digital either works or it doesn’t. Analog provides all of that scratchy mess on the screen, distorted audio, etc.
You, or your 13-year old, might enjoy (or already have seen) this video-essay;
Tldw watching a somewhat worn out version of Alien VHS on a 4:3 CRT TV in a dark room compared to a super bright plasma TV and some remastered wide-screen version can be much scarier.
She’s onto something. CRT displays and VHS recordings are very imperfect in the best way; they lie to us so sweetly. There’s a lot of production mistakes and fakery that is really hard to spot with old tech. These things stand out in ways unforeseen on digital remasters all the time - it kind of kills the magic of it all, really.
CRT displays with old pixel art are something I taught her about very early on. Scanlines made things look different; and art looked better on CRTs because they were designed with them in mind.
These two were adorable together. Why did we never see her after this?
When my arcade went from 3rd Mix to 5th Mix and I didn’t have to do a little jig to go to Maniac, and I saw it for the first time in 60FPS… maybe second to my wedding night.
Ehhh nah, third. Tripping at Tipper in a giant open field with my partner was cooler than our wedding 100%
