For some reason, we would only play this when visiting our grandparents, who only had one phone line so we could never use the computer when somebody was on or needed the phone. If you picked up the phone when we were on the Internet, the dreaded dial up tone blast in your ear.
This game is really simple, but we were obsessed with it. I don’t remember playing a lot of games on my own computer, but I was definitely a preteen that was lying in chatrooms.
My younger cousins also introduced me to Happy tree friends…

kinda basic but truly what a fun game. I dabbled in a lot of those multiplayer websites when I was wayyy too young (parents didn’t care abt internet restriction; I’m the youngest child in my fam) but this was just the best. My brother and I used to wait until midnight on holidays to see what the drops would look like. Learned vaguely about sex and bullying and surfing, as much as the website allowed at least. My friend the other day sent me a meme that had a pic of the lighthouse and I felt genuine nostalgia. When it shut down, I dabbled in the legacy ”mod” and have been thinking about getting back into it 🤔 a trip down memory lane!

I know I still have this somewhere and I'd like to get it out and play it again for nostalgia's sake. I probably played it a million times as a kid even though it was the same story over and over lol

The nickelodeon games website was my go-to way to escape the monotony of my childhood. This game was the closest the website had to a complete game and was lots of fun

This has become the norm and every day I grow more disturbed. I understand if somebody is behaving in a harmful way, that is good to document and put out there. But as a whole, it seems, we have become so comfortable with recording people just living their lives. I saw a video of a guy working and the caption of the video was that he was so hot, we needed to find him!!! Why are you providing the Internet with his face and location instead of just going up to talk to him? I saw another of two people on the subway, seemingly a couple, having a very emotional moment. How would you feel if you open up an app and saw a video like that of yourself? I don’t like this level of sibling society surveillance. Why are you videoing an elderly person with sad music dubbed over it to gain likes? It is WEIRD. Don’t even get me started on videos of children. It is WEIRD to use a stranger without their consent to get some kind of fake validation. Get a life.
I don’t mean to come on here and share something so negative, I just don’t have anywhere else to put it and it’s gnawing at me.
