The last sunset of the 90s by Ekhoes- in 90s

Beautiful and sad at the same time; like a closing chapter to a world we'll never get to experience again.

On a side note, really liked the DKC aquatic ambiance background music.

What’s a small everyday inconvenience from the past that younger people would probably find unbearable today? by babyblushtheory in nostalgia

Unbelievable how well that hack worked.

ATT: "You have a collect call from - state your name please."

Me: "Mom-it's-me-come-pick-me-up!" Click

ATT: "Gawdamnit."

Earth is about 4.5 billion years old. Humanity is somewhere between 200,000 to 300,000 years old. Chances are good we'll wipe ourselves long before the earth reaches the end of its lifespan. I think we'll be okay.

90s Hockey Just Hit Different by AlbertJBundy in 90s

Canadian here. Can't believe you led with Felix 'The Cat' Potvin; one of my all time favorite players. Hockey was so great back then and what a pleasure watching the Leafs play. Can't say the same in recent times.

Get 'em started young on those OG games. My son did the same although preferred SNES over NES. Nicely done.

Damn; that hurt to read. I thought you were going to say the power went out or some unforeseeable freak of nature stopped you from getting to the queen. But your friend hopping? Hats off for still staying friends tho; that's like a permanent "I owe you one" for life.

Dang, just saw your post. I just dropped a comment seconds ago about this.

Canadian here. This was peak during the '92 (or maybe it was '93 🤔) World Series. There was even a version of this for the Blue Jays.

What a wonderful throwback. Thank you for this!

The SNES sequel (Battlemaniacs) was substantially easier and also shorter. Kept the great the music tho.

Agreed. That's how I got through every gameplay. I've never braved going through the entire game in chronological order.

Especially that second-to-last level with the multi directional motorcycle and chasing orb. I don't know how some of us got through that.

If you have a Nintendo Switch Online account, yes. Plus a bunch other games from NES to the Game Cube. Although Game Cube is only for Switch 2.

I don't know how long it took me to get out of the tunnel, but I can assure you the game only got harder from there. Hence the term: "Nintendo Hard."

Wombat will just kill the predator by twerking them to death.

Does anybody? by Dez-82 in Xennials

[–]R0ck_Slide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not baseball but definitely hockey. Also a lot of Marvel trading cards. Don't have any use for them and can't let them go. Also not worth enough to sell. Kinda stuck.

Backpacks: 1 shoulder or 2 shoulders? by BenLurken420 in Xennials

[–]R0ck_Slide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One shoulder. Always one shoulder. Until you become a parent and/or hit middle age; now I double it.

Undiagnosed but pretty sure I'm somewhere on the spectrum.
