    Man I would so watch a show about a bunch of people who try to maintain a madman's elaborate fantasies

    Maybe his dad was megarich and stipulated it in his will or something, I don't care about the logic, that'd be a neat premise

    I would like to pause for a moment, to talk about my penis.
    My penis is like a toddler. A toddler—who is a perfectly normal size for his age—on a long road trip to what he thinks is Disney World. My penis is excited because he hasn’t been to Disney World in a long, long time, but remembers a time when he used to go every day. So now the penis toddler is constantly fidgeting, whining “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? How about now? Now? How about... now?”
    And Disney World is nowhere in sight.

    Thinking on this is weird.

    My children will, for instance, never know how University worked before Bologna.

    Neither will they experience 2D gaming.

    Or shitty VHS quality movies.

    25 is the best age. I'm young enough to feel like I still don't know what the fuck's going on and old enough to feel like I've wasted the best years of my life already. Oh yeah.

    Actually, found a couple but they're not very clear. No direct-feed audio.

    And then you logged into a local BBS to find out that Apogee had just released a new shareware game called Duke Nukem, and it was a 305k zip file, and if you only had a 2400 baud modem it was going to take you at least 20 minutes to download a file that huge, and that was if the BBS had the Zmodem protocol available. If you were stuck with Xmodem or Kermit, you knew it was going to take longer. And if someone called the house when your file had a minute to go? You got to start over from the beginning.

    Man I just did a nostalgia GIS for amiga stuff and was reminded of this Snoopy game we used to have which I got totally stuck with and never finished, and now I really want to get hold of it and finally defeat it after 20 years or whatever.
