A quotation from Rogers, Will:

«
Those were great old days, (but darn it any old days are great old days. Even the tough ones, after they are over, you can look back with great memories.)

I just noticed that #MortalKombat1 and #StreetFighter6 are/were released.
It's time to play some beat em ups again.

I remember the good old days.
At that time I enjoyed playing the first, second and third part. With Street fighter it was the 2nd and 3rd part.

In 1976, the BBC declined to show a Formula One race when they learnt one of the cars was sponsored by Durex. Instead they repeated episodes of Top of the Pops presented by Dave Lee Travis, Jimmy Savile and Peter Sutcliffe.

“You’d have bar arguments about what was true or not, and you couldn’t resolve it immediately, because no one could check the internet! It would go on forever. For days.”

@UlrikeHeiss So richtig mit Anwesenheit, oder via Teams? Gibt's auch klebrige Teilchen vom Konditor und viel guten Kaffee? #GoodOldDays

@adrianbucher #GoodOldDays habe ich auf #Twitter nie erlebt. Ich habe es immer nur als #Konsum​medium erlebt, dessen Steuerung durch #Reklame und #Werbung immer schlimmer wurde. Kontakte und Reaktionen gab’s kaum. Eigentlich war (und ist) das ein sehr toter Reklamestrom.

Hier auf #Mastodon ist das komplett anders. Hier gibt’s Kontakte 🤝, Reaktionen 🗣️, Lustiges 🤣, Leute 🤗, und so weiter.

Oh, this must be one of the *early* generations, when the illumination came from a teeny-tiny #incandescent bulb 💡 instead of an #LED.

IIRC, they worked OK(ish) when the battery was still pretty fresh, but as the battery voltage diminished with normal use, the luminosity dropped off precipitously.🔋

But when those LED-illuminated models finally came along... Wowzers! 🤩 If you were looking straight at the watch face when you pressed the illumination button in the middle of the night, you'd temporarily blind yourself. 😵‍💫 Instead, you had to press the button while looking away, then gradually bring the watch into your field of view, so your eyes would have time to adjust. 🫣

Those were the #GoodOldDays, eh?

No Connie, I don't want to go stalk your Ex boyfriend's house with you. Oh? You have a Firebird with a t top. What time are you picking me up?

Machts heute wie am 33. Spieltag der Meistersaison 2006/2007.
Damals war ich im #Ruhrstadion dabei. Bekomme nach mittlerweile fast 16 Jahren noch immer richtig Gänsehaut, wenn ich an das mitreißende Match, den Siegeswillen und die Stimmung rund um den #VfB in der Zeit denke. #goodolddays

Where have all the fiscally conservative Republicans gone? Are they a myth we tell our children in the fairytales of the #GoodOldDays? Are they made-up characters that never existed? When the Democrats are in power and it is time to create a budget, does the GOP pull out the #FiscallyConservative like we pull out the blow-up Santa Claus on the day after Thanksgiving? Everyone has heard of one, but have you ever actually met one? I'm just asking questions, here. #politics #HardOfThinking

@koalie I bet people reading this toot will fall into one of three categories:
1. they are just too young to get it and don’t have any specific reaction 😑
2. they laugh, reminiscing the #GoodOldDays 😆
3. they weep, reminiscing the #GoodOldDays 😭

I miss the old online forums from the late 90's to mid 2000s.

I know there are still a few around.

Remember, how excited you were as a child to get new toys and spend your summer holidays playing?

What about now, when you have grown up?

Things have changed. Ain’t they?

Your equation with your happiness, contentment, and pleasure has changed.

You can no longer get excited about toys or the summer holidays.

These things no longer bring you an ounce of delight.
