Huh I actually never considered that, thanks! I’ll chuck it in the machine next time I wash my dog’s harness

“Could care less” really irks me lol. Like, if you just stop and think about it it makes no sense? If you could potentially care less about a topic that means you must care at least somewhat in the first place?

I got a wired wired XBox360 controller at GameStop 10 years ago for a really good price and it works wonders! I’m on Windows 8.1 and for most games it doesn’t require any sort of configuration either, I just plug it in and it works right away

For me the one I remember most was just being mega nauseous and dazed. I had a killer headache and tummyache combo and was also like… Kind of overly emotional lol? Definitely overshared and said thing I would have never said otherwise. But for better or worse I barely remember what I did! Walking home was also crazy, it felt like the world just kept spinning and putting one foot in front of the other was a whole ordeal.

It wasn’t bad enough that emergency services had to get involved, though my brother did call once we were back at his flat just to be sure. They told him to make sure I stayed conscious and didn’t fall asleep in a way where I could choke if I threw up and to call again if my breathing became too slow. And the next morning I had the worst hangover of my life. 0/10 do not recommend, miserable experience all around lol

Drinking alcohol while taking medication I was not supposed to drink alcohol with. Was a fun night until the alcohol poisoning happened at least!

Oh man that unlocked some memories I hadn’t thought about in 10+ years!! I never participated in the PS3 vs Xbox360 arguments myself, but as a teenager who loved me some drama I spent more than a few hours reading through strangers’ flame wars lmaooo

Definitely!! There’s a few I frequent too (funny enough mostly attached to virtual pet sites lol), but it’s sad how many communities have moved to Discord. Which don’t get me wrong I like Discord, I’ve been in really fun servers and use it to talk to my friends, but it sucks for archiving purposes and is just not a good replacement for forums imo

There already are art/gallery sites that look and function like old DeviantArt! Albeit not on the Fediverse, though I recall seeing someone mention a Pixelfed instance for artists once

Oh I meant miss as in you’re nostalgic for it! So it could be something that doesn’t exist anymore or something that changed a lot over time

For me, it would have to be 2008-2011 era DeviantArt! A lot of my nostalgia is really due to the fact I was a teenager and a part of me misses having no worries outside of videogame bosses and homework lol, but I genuinely feel like it was a great place! I used to spend hours browsing art, talking to people, making friends… Of course it wasn’t perfect, there were creeps (one time a grown ass man tried to convince my then 15 year-old friend to partake in a diaper fetish roleplay… Jesus Christ) and the kind of stupid drama you can expect from teenagers. But even with that, I’m glad my teenager internet experience was there instead of Twitter or TikTok haha

More broadly, I miss forums! I remember spending so much time getting good at using GIMP to make graphics for roleplay forums I was on. Which in retrospect were ugly as sin LMAO because I was a teenager slapping every effect I could on crusty jpeg anime screenshots… It was a simpler time (❁´‿`❁)✲ﾟ

Understandable! I lived in the UK for a few years and will say I really appreciated how mindful everyone was of personal space there!

Kiss people on both cheeks as a greeting! Though even as an Italian I will say I never really liked it lol
