  • Had to think through the fuzzy memories, but I can absolutely recall some of the fun things, like the occasional times my speech therapist let me play games on her desktop. Can’t remember them all by name, but there was a Pajama Sam game, SpyFox ( Operation Ozone ), some point and click puzzle game for older kids, and some activity center game.

    There are plenty of memories of me playing video games, either by myself or with my brothers or friends ( mine and/or theirs ). Hell, my earliest memory is a bit of a toss up for me, but it was either me playing a Tetris like Egypt themed ps1 anime game ( that I already forgot the name of despite finding it a few days ago ), Yoshi’s Story on n64, and some pirate themed edutainment PC game.

    I also have a lot of memories of watching an absolute ton of cartoons growing up since our cable package had Cartoon Network, Dosney, and Nickelodeon available. Watched all the new shows coming out on CN and Nick, mostly. Alongside all the 90s reruns and a ton of the old Turner Classic stuff CN shoved onto Boomerang before basically getting rid of those shows. Can still remember the channels were the 170s and 181 for a second CN that for some reason ran the exact same programming at a later time than the other CN channel.

    As an adult, I don’t try to chase the same high as some of my childhood memories. I don’t know if it’s an autism thing with me or what, but I am not huge on chasing after nostalgia, despite still watching a lot of the old cartoons of my past. I still look back with nostalgia, but like the life I currently live, so I’m fine not completely turning around for that nostalgic blast from the past.

    Edit:

    Though I’m not huge on being super nostalgic, I wouldn’t mind getting a set of the plastic marble trick whatever track thingamajigs ( things like a funnel, wavy half pipes, etcetera ) just to try and pair it up with other things to create a Rube Goldberg machine to do something in the least efficient manner, just for fun.


  • Well, if we’re allowing the textbook that I’m going through chapter by chapter weekly in college, Legoshi of Beastars fame would probably be learning HTML and CSS so he can properly design a website. Don’t know why, but that sounds kinda funny.

    Textbooks not included, it’d be a weird mix of Bakuman ( a story about a couple of kids ( starting off near the end of 8th grade ) who wanna become mangaka ) and the world of Beastars, where anthros roam the streets. I wanna say at some point it was confirmed that humans do exist in the Beastars universe but are basically super rare or something like that, so it’s not completely out of the question.






  • I hope this is a joke, because it’s the most useful search engine I have ever used in the past decade.

    Cannot speak for anyone else, but I have been having problems with my preferred SearXNG instances returning garbage results that have nothing to do with what I searched. Before anyone asks, no I am unable to self-host my own personal instance and don’t feel like changing settings every time I close and reopen my browser.


  • I cannot think of anything clever or anything, so I’m gonna just say international cozy day where you get as cozy as you can and if possible help someone else get cozy and comfortable.

    Basically a day where you have to be nice and can help make other people’s life better and more cozy as well. Even if it’s just something as small as giving a homeless person a blanket or clean clothes. Or bigger, like providing shelter to a friend in a domestic abuse situation. All without laws getting in the way of helping people.

    Though this is just an absolute pipedream because I can think of a few countries where they would ban this holiday or warp it to be more about being selfish than helping others.
