The amount of times I tried to download a tv show on limewire and it was just bestiality...

Do I miss physical gaming magazines? Yes, yes I do

Were they awful? Content wise, no, I actually believe transitioning to web magazines turned the whole industry into a shit show

I loved the game posters that came folded into the magazines.

So what was bad about them?

Well they pushed you too collect them.

That amount of paper cannot possibly be good for the environment

Being able to eat, like, 8 meals a day and not feel like shit that night or the next day.

At some point my metabolism finally started to slow down.

I had the “hollow leg” of my youth clear into my 40s. But by 45 I could feel it noticeably collapsing, and by the age of 50 it was almost completely gone.

In my late 20s I polished off 7 full racks of ribs in one sitting. These days I have trouble getting completely through one full rack.

Yyyyyyup. Baby back ribs, my absolute favourite.

First time I ever had racks outside of home, was at a local restaurant called Kelly O’Bryans. I was in my mid-20s at the time. Decided to “Irish size” the order to two racks, not aware that they were already running a special that doubled the racks. Entire party stared in shock when four f**king racks came out balanced on a single platter. And I ate them all. Including all of the pachos (cross-cut fries with a house dip sauce).

Second time was when Montanas came to town a few years later. At the time they were still doing six bones a refill, instead of the current 3-4. Had the whole initial rack (something they also stopped doing, only half a rack to start these days) and then did 12 refills. So seven full racks of ribs. I still have that receipt somewhere filed away in my bookkeeping.

I was the same, but now that I'm working my ass off at 54, I struggle to get enough calories down the hatch. Feel like I'm 20 again.

[–] rekabis@lemmy.ca 3 points 20 hours ago

at 54,

What, your body isn’t sounding like Rice Crispies every time you move? 🤣🤣🤣

Original recipe shamrock shakes. They must be awful to my palate now, but I wanna know what the original tasted like

The Gameboy Advance. Fuck you. It was like a mini Super Nintendo in your hand. Suck my dick. Fuck you.

I'm laughing and I don't even understand the random hostility in this image LOL.

It's a quote from a YouTube person (Liam, of the old Super Best Friends channel)

.... Edited atop an actual GBA magazine advert cuz that's funny.

Orbitz, a novelty beverage with little floaty gummy spheres

Tasted terrible, looked disgusting but I loved the look, texture and sensation. Haven't found anything yet that matches

[–] Contemporarium@lemm.ee 6 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

There’s always boba.

Oh and there’s these Aloe Vera drinks I get at gas stations that have Aloe pulp in them that I’m pretty sure 99% of people would think are nasty as fuck BUT they’re so good imo. You can chew the pulp or just crush it with your tongue in your mouth. I wish I knew what they’re called but I only get them occasionally cuz I don’t like to drink my calories. But they come in a square green bottle

[–] weew@lemmy.ca 3 points 22 hours ago

Yeah but the boba sink to the bottom

Orbitz did all this research to get the little balls to be the exact same density as the water so they'd hover in the middle

[–] mahin@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

try out lost city 2004scape!

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 hours ago

Yeah I did and that's what showed me it ain't exactly as I remember haha. Without the quality of life updates it's just brutal
