That actually sounds like a rad date
On one hand, I agree. On the other hand, that means…
That movie: 23 years old
Beyblade coffee shops start popping up.
I recently attended a Beyblade birthday party and it was rad.
Brooooo I forgot about that hahahaha
Don’t lie to yourself. That’s a Giga Pet and you know it.
It’s a digimon digital pet, and SuperNova 2, you’re right, I’m a fraud!
My 13yr old collects Tamagotchis, and my 17yr old watches VHS tapes because she likes analog horror. So…yeah, I’m already there.

I tried getting the 13yr old a Miyoo Mini Plus; and she said she didn’t want it because it wasn’t about the games - she wanted a real GBC. >_>

another fact to add on is that there are two versions of the SP, the AGS-001 and the AGS-101. the 101 has a much nicer screen. the 001 has a front-lit screen which creates a weird infinite mirror effect with the light on.
GBA SP was the height of things, for me. Growing up with both the GB and GBC, I never quite forgave Nintendo for dropping GB/C support with the DS. The SP had a backlight and could play every GB game in existence and could easily fit in your pocket by being folded. It felt like the right direction in every way imaginable.
I will say, lately I’ve been on a nostalgia kick, and have been going through the Pokémon games again. I’m emulating them, but recently found my GameBoy Colour and there’s just something about the non-backlit screen. Somehow the colours just look better to me, I’m not sure why. It’s definitely objectively worse, but I like it anyway for some reason.
I tried my 3yo to use a DSi and it failed lol I’ll try in 10-12 years.

“Analog horror” is such a hilarious phrase.
I mean, I get it – Digital either works or it doesn’t. Analog provides all of that scratchy mess on the screen, distorted audio, etc.
You, or your 13-year old, might enjoy (or already have seen) this video-essay;
Tldw watching a somewhat worn out version of Alien VHS on a 4:3 CRT TV in a dark room compared to a super bright plasma TV and some remastered wide-screen version can be much scarier.
She’s onto something. CRT displays and VHS recordings are very imperfect in the best way; they lie to us so sweetly. There’s a lot of production mistakes and fakery that is really hard to spot with old tech. These things stand out in ways unforeseen on digital remasters all the time - it kind of kills the magic of it all, really.
CRT displays with old pixel art are something I taught her about very early on. Scanlines made things look different; and art looked better on CRTs because they were designed with them in mind.
In particular, dithering was a very common way of blending colours together in old video games and programs despite hardware limitations preventing more than a few colours per block of pixels. The CRT display helped blend them together since the individual pixels weren’t as clear as on a modern LCD display. A lot of old games look noticeably worse on a LCD display compared to a CRT.
I’m keen. Who else?
Also, these two are related:
Whoah! Slow down there, kiddo. Some of have a bung knee. We’ll have to do Time Crisis 2 instead.
🥺
These two were adorable together. Why did we never see her after this?
Because what people don’t like to talk about, is that Goofy is a fuck Boi, he’s a hit it and quit it kinda dude.
I just listened to Linkin Park “Reanimation”…
… I’VE COME SO FAR TO LOOSE IT ALL~!
IN THE END~ IT DOESN’T EVEN MATTER~!
Dang, now i want a tamagochi and play house of the dead.
That sounds great! Oh
I literally learned about the existence of this sequel from this post. Was the movie that bad?
