As a kid, I thought Trailer Park Boys was an accurate, contemporary documentary about the world I lived in (or at least that of my friends who lived in the trailer park down the way).
Edit: Oh, and you had to go to a Chris Brothers store to buy Chris Brothers pepperoni - Sobeys didn’t carry it yet. It was glorious every time.
Retro is anything on a console. Disc based media is too new and space age to be retro.
I got an original Nintendo new for Christmas.
I did too, but it was a famicon because I was living overseas.
Old enough to remember the fourth TV channel launching.
I was going to say this.
Instead I’ll say: 48k ZX tape noises and Ace of Aces. Betamax. Not answering the phone as we’re having dinner.
And manic miner! Damn that game was brutal.
I was confused watching Reading Rainbow because I didn’t understand how a blind man could be reading to me.
Lil bonus, I know first hand why floppy disks are called that, but only because my dad had some old games.

8"
Jealous?
Pics or not real!

36?
That’s a damn good guess!
YouTube didn’t exist until after I graduated high school
Old enough to know these posts are a gold mine for personal information gathering.
Ah, a fellow 13 year-old.
Your profile says NotANaziIWasJustBornIn1988.
Glad to here it’s working. Obfuscation is the only anonymity online
Presumably that means you are in fact a Nazi born in 1889
Lenny is completely firewalled. No email address, different country instance, honeypot false personal information…
I saw the original Star Wars in theaters.
I grew up with the Star Wars trilogy on VHS box set and phantom menace was one of my first movies in a theatre.
I am Toy Story years old
Old enough that I briefly encountered floppy disks but still young enough that someone tried to explain to me what the “save” symbol means.
Floppy floppies we’re the first I touched. Internet access didn’t exist.
I got one of the first home Pong machines for my 7th birthday
to start, i first found out what 9/11 was through memes
9/11 is dad’s birthday.
9/11 is 0.81 repeating

And you’re old enough to be online? That doesn’t seem correct
(This comment also serves to say how old I am)
Why? 2024-2001=21. That’s definitely old enough to be online
Edit: 23, definitely old enough
I think the minimum age for online these days is something like 43? Otherwise you have to pretend to be a bot?
Do you wanna check your math there?
No :P
Sorry, my bad! Edited
Hey. Shut up.
The '90s were a decade ago, and always will be!
How dare you.
Unreal
I remember playing games on channel 3
Did you have the little switch screwed into the back of your set to go from “TV” to “GAME” ?
also, I came here to post “Atari 2600” but I’ll leave it in this comment instead :P
I had a small switch on the back of the adapter that chose between channel 3 or channel 4
ohhh yeah I think I remember that one too :)
My mom watched the Watergate hearings while she was pregnant with me.
I cried when my Tamagotchi “pet” died.
