sometime in the mid 00's i ran into a kid in his teens.
he had headphones attached to a a fukking cassette player.

i cautiously approached him and inquired as to why he was rocking such played out tech.
he told me "It doesn't skip." and walked away.

:wow:
Breh was right, I hated portable CD players for that very reason.

Half the shyt that came out in the mid 2000s got deaded in infancy by smartphones and the internet

Remember when tivo and being able to record tv shows was a huge deal for a few years before cable tv became irrelevant?

I remember when every popular girl in school had to have a digital camera before iphone came thru and crushed the buildings

To this very day I hate the Playstation for allowing this beast of a machine to get bushed :mjcry:

First game system to have an online platform...over dial up phones.

Use to bust my Uncle ass in Virtua On and Sega Rally

:mjcry:

First time I watched my cuz beat Burning Rangers

:mjcry:

Them weekend morning we'd jump from Virtua Fighter 2, to Last Bronx, to Fighters Megamix. Arcade fighting game frenzy.

:mjcry:

First time I saw Nights and Panzer Dragoon

:mjcry:

Best controller of all time. Why the fukk we went from the perfect 6-button layout to the stupid 4-button diamond shape with 4 triggers will forever be a bit of wasted potential.

:mjcry:

And yet seeing all those hot ass Konami and Namco and even Sony Entertainment games exclusive on Playstation was just

:mjcry::mjcry::mjcry:
