Did you live too far away from your local library, Tifone?

the worst part is when you try to find a job in a field youre passionate about. yknow, the thing that everyone tells you to do.
it then turns your passion into stress, and you can lose your spark for the entire field in general. you become acquainted with the parts of the job you werent really fauning over

A job is a job. Nothing to be passionate about.

52 it was about 20 miles away or a 45 min drive. When I was in middle school we got better than dialup internet though and that's when my world really expanded XD

this is the big brain attitude

its best to keep your job and interests separate. more solo exploratory freedom that way

54 Very sad but it's true. I was taken advantage of in my dream job because they knew I loved the work and wanted to do it. Felt bad to have to walk away from that

My world expanded when we got more than three TV channels. The possibilities!

56 oh man I remember going from the big metal antenna on my chimney to sattlite television. It was crazy. Btw I still love those old school televisions we watched as kids. Older televisions shows and movies just look better on them then on newer TVs

Woah finally chatty in here again. Hey y'all!

my world took a while to expand after i got my first computer access. i was unaware of how huge the internet really was, so as a kid i hardly explored anything but a few nooks and crannies. i also didnt know what a computer was even capable of, so i never made a single file for a considerable number of years, and never downloaded a single item from the web for about as long as that.

I agree. Sailor Moon doesn't look the same on a flat screen.

 

[Tifone]

62 yooooo Fox and I should have been a lot more careful on the internet as a child. It was a factor in showing me the world I am now apart of on this forum

And for real shows like sailor moon or even the classic Miyazaki films just look more natural through the phosphor glow of a crt.

Old TV's are good. My last one was too big and heavy to move alone though so it was left behind. So much sailor moon and cowboy bebop that thing saw. RIP.

Heya Tifo, hope it goes good.

For Miyazaki films, bigger is better. I wonder if I can book the local cinema.

Let's have a minute of silence to honour the faithful services of our old, long gone TVs.

Big oof. Ouch, my memories...

 

[ShanoirII]

67 was anyone around on youtube at the time YTPs were the cool thing to do?

 

[Tifone]

68 Fox I am sorry to hear about your big old TV being left behind. You will all think I'm nuts but I service and repair these old televisions and have two of them that weigh over 200lbs. My latest is a, no shit, 40" HD Sony trinitron and it weighs over 300lbs. It's worth the extra hands needed to move it though I swear.

That's my big screen for Miyazaki films, although I would love to watch any of them in theaters you're right


Also no I don't remember YTPs what were they?

 

[ShanoirII]

69!
its really hard to explain what a YTP is lol... they were in their prime from the early to late 2000s and they consisted of sentence mixing and editing together clips of different sources to make original content.
they were big targets of copyright strikes, might be why theyre gone

Sounds familiar. I think I used to visit a scalie site. It could have been this one.
