    I seem to be the only person that hated the 90s. Ugh. Now at least I got fast internet and hentai is not just sailor moon x dbz.

      Fast internet is nice, but what if it wasn’t a corporatized nightmare overrun with money-chasing investor-backed start-ups and giant monocorps trying to monetize and exploit every single inch of it?

          I mean, I’m not saying 90s internet didn’t have any of that, but I wouldn’t have described it as “overrun”. Seemed to me, as a child, like most of it was just companies getting an online presence for their existing business to try and be part of wave.

          ISPs have always sucked, though.

            Ah it’s like when a new Game is out and there is no Meta so it’s random fun until the try hards are min maxing and now I have to min max to compete sucking the fun.

              Yeah, that’s a pretty decent analogy. It was a wild time, and my fondness is probably tainted by nostalgia, but I’d trade our current internet for it in a second.
