Options much like the ones in those mobile ads

[–] Anonymousllama@lemmy.world 60 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Back when you could actually have funny ads and not worry about people whinging about it online

[–] Wanderer@lemm.ee 31 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Society peaked.

Absolute foresight from the matrix to say 1999 was as good as it gets.

Send me back.

[–] SchizoDenji@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

Ehh not really. Social awareness like for example the LGBTQ+ movement gained a lot of support in past decade.

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

And here you are whinging.

Nah people still joke about cheating. They love those sexual drama so it's fine.

TIL Brazzers has been in gaming advertising since at least 2002.

[–] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 53 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Video game ads used to be wild.

[–] loutr@sh.itjust.works 24 points 2 years ago

"John Romero's about to make you his bitch. Suck it down."

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Oh, totally. I’m a child of the 80s and remember them fondly. I just thought it would be a funny comment.

Man, some of those ads were the epitome of sex sells!

[–] Sylver@lemmy.world 34 points 2 years ago (5 children)

All those bottom ads are crazy, too.

“Age 23: (sleep?) your way through the phone book. Twice.”

“Age 40: have a midlife crises for your 40 year old with two 20’s (in a hot tub)”

Age 100 something about spending your time reading books. Like the Kama Sutra

[–] Freeman@feddit.de 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Are you some sort of pixel oracle? I could not read that, even if my life depended on it.

[–] shukufuku@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago

You merely adopted the pixels. I was born in it, molded by it.

[–] HairHeel@programming.dev 6 points 2 years ago

Given the year, this probably came from one of those “Playboy lite” men’s magazines that were popular at the time, like Maxim or FHM.

[–] Thavron@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

"Date" instead of sleep. Slightly tamer.

Age 17: Get lucky on the dancefloor and maybe in the bedroom.

[–] Thavron@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Age 100: Spend your golden years reading books. Like the Kama Sutra.

[–] finthechat@kbin.social 20 points 2 years ago

Delete gym and punch lawyer

[–] Endorkend@kbin.social 19 points 2 years ago

At least loverslab mods make this a reality.

[–] Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The Sims used to be so edgy back then, I miss it.

[–] bitsplease@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

It also used to be good. Man what I would give for a non-mtxn riddled modern Sims

[–] Norgur@kbin.social 13 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Join, punch, divorce
In that order, in quick succession

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Join, scream, punch, "finish" , cry. Dated that. Fun but never again.

[–] keefshape@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

This is the way.

[–] harpuajim@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Fuck I loved the Sims 2
