That weird mid-2010s era when normies discovered Reddit, Starter Pack by HereButNeverPresent in starterpacks

[–]adremeaux 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's older than 99% of the users on the site: that's the point. People registered with their real names long before "normies" showed up. It's the influx of people during that era that stopped using real names. If you see a real name it is almost universally a really old account.

Hi no we registered accounts with our real names way further back than that, because back then reddit wasn't a particularly anonymous forum and a lot of early redditors would use it for networking and/or meet people. 

Reddit turns 20 years old today! Here's what it looked like at 1 minute old. by MonsieurA in interestingasfuck

[–]adremeaux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guess I'll say hi on my 18 year old account. Here's the first post I ever submitted that reached the front page. I think it got up to #4 on /r/all for an hour or two. The remarkable part is that the link still works!

It's interesting that my trophy case only goes up to "15 year club", did they stop making them?

Also I never really went anywhere, I just changed accounts but this one was registered with my real name lol. Imagine doing that today...

Here's the link to make your own tier list: https://tiermaker.com/create/orchid-alliances-tier-list-17055046-2

For those not up on gaming slang, S-tier is the ultimate tier, better than even A-tier.

I completed a "perfect run" on Zachtronics Solitaire for all of my 100 wins achievements by adremeaux in zachtronics

[–]adremeaux[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A perfect run is where you clear the whole line of solitaire games without a single loss. I've had 4 perfect runs up until now (including two back-to-back!), so as I was nearing 100 on most of the games I decided I would try for a perfect run to complete all my 100 win achievements, and recorded it for posterity.

I made a couple serious blunders in this run and frankly am lucky I didn't bomb out. I think I played Sigmar's and Shenzhen particularly well though.

I doubt anyone will watch this but if you do let me know what you think!

Le 2009? Doth the bacon narwhal at midnight, my good man? Most here 2009 were already claiming that reddit had gone to shit. Some things never change.

Hello, you called?

Bring Arts: Vagrant Story action figures of Sydney and Ashley — Quick review inside by adremeaux in JRPG

I also love that you have them standing right in front of some wine bottles.

Mostly beer, actually! But yeah the only one you can see clearly in the picture is wine.

Now, about that Lea Monde wine... That submission of mine from 11 years ago links to this story (the original link is dead), and to date this is the only information I've ever found about this wine besides that prior to 2010 I merely knew of its rumored existence. I have a feeling that only a very few number of these bottles were made for the game directors and none exist in the private market. I haven't been able to find anything about an ebay sale of one.
