I haven't been to #Berching for over 35 years. But now I finally made a #trip there and went for a little #walk. Today I somehow felt like taking a #nostalgic trip into the past.
They're like the 100-in-1 #pirated Game Boy cartridges of #music :sagume_think:
This is the shit I am #nostalgic about :akyuu_headphones:
I'm kinda surprised they still exist here in the #Philippines, but if there are pirated #DVDs and #Bluray being sold in the black market, why not MP3 CDs as well? :satrithink:
I wish I could embed 'Currently Playing' in the social media apps such as #Mastodon or #PixelFed, connected to #Spotify. Just like #LastFM can do it in real-time.
On some crazy days, I will search for how I can build one as a custom addition to my own server.
Growing up in the 70s and 80s, we used to smoke pot and have Roman candle wars.
It's amazing no one lost an eye or caught on fire. #GenX #nostalgia #nostalgic
We have a winner! You all chose for me to play #bionicle Mata Nui Online Game in the #subscriberschoose poll!
Starting tonight, I'll be streaming it for the next two weeks, or until I complete it, and I may have another surprise for the next two weeks as well. Still working out the details on the surprise.
Did you ever read these books as a child, or read them to a child?
We got them through an elementary school mail order program from Scholastic. #70s #GenX #nostalgia #nostalgic
Did you ever use this product to tease out your 80s hairstyle and hold it in place?
It's better than super glue.
Remember that "crunchy" hair that resulted?
Ha ha! #80s #nostalgia #nostalgic
If you know what these are, you're older than Moses, and also the people that bought your parents' house are still finding them in the heating vents, attic, laundry room, floorboards, etc. #GenX#Boomers #nostalgia#nostalgic
Our next selection takes us to one of my earliest memories of my mother. Pretty sure after Elvis this was her favorite band. Mid 1970s in the living room of our small house in northern California.
Now we go back to 8th grade or so. This video introduced me to that other hot blonde of heavy metal..lol. She did a classic duet with another somewhat famous guy.
This guy was Jeannie's favorite, a heavy metal chick from my class. LOL. Ah the 80s.
Same year, about 8th grade. Really cool girl from my class had our entire class over (it was a small school, only about 15 people or so in the class) to watch this movie. (Her favorite). Jackie was probably the first real date I ever went on. Crocodile Dundee II. Haha.
This next video was released in 1986 too. Funny, scarey, and lots of other words. I'd never seen anything like this before, but I guess it was big in England at the time.
Young people today don't understand that at the time, we woke up wondering if this would be the day we all died in a nuclear war.
As it turns out, we almost did. Several times. Read up on Stanislav Petrov for a chilling example. Quite possibly the most important man in human history.
In the late 80s and early 90s, this movie and show was huge in Berkeley. I lost track of how many Friday nights I spent in Berkeley and how many virgins I took.
My friends had to trick me into going the first time and I was hooked immediately.
I think it was that night where I lost my homophobia and would be an ally.
Pretty sure the Trixie was interested in me at the time, but I had a girlfriend (my now wife).
She was hot though. LOL. Really fun to hang out with at the after party too.
One of my friends who I took, eventually ran his own production and had a wedding based on the movie.
Now, we head to #1991. After growing up with the constant threat of nuclear war, the fall of the Soviet Union and the re-unifcation of #Germany were earth-shattering events. I remember watching the Germans breaking pieces of the wall with chisels while the Soviet troops watched.
I was maybe 18? I ran a fairly popular BBS back in the day named The Adventurer's Guild (after the Bard's Tale game).
We used to get together and throw parties, we had monthly football games at the park, all kinds of stuff. Everyone was invited and all were welcome. Guys, gals, gay, straight. It didn't matter.
One night, we were at a party, I don't even remember where it was. Concord, I think?
Anyway, I was plastered (yay, underage drinking!) and then this video came on.
A friend of mine, who was a user of my (and many other BBSes) who went by the handle "Sven the Lumberjack" was there. When this video came on, we both started head banging..throughout the entire video.
Bad mistake. I ended up puking my guts out not soon after. LOL.
