Age verification?
When my family got our first DVD player, it came with Independence Day and Space Jam.
Age verification?

I used to have to stick my finger into one of several holes in a phone and rotate a circular piece of plastic, repeating the process a certain number of times to input the number I wanted to call.
Age verification?

When I took a photo, I'd have to send it away to find out what it looked like.

Oh, definitely. Even getting the bare minimum vaccines + microchips for my boys cost an arm and a leg.

Then: I was born this year so not much for gaming.
Now: Easily has to be Quake. Very fun campaign, with a unique aesthetic. Very glad to see it being reappraised in recent years.
Now we come to the furthest back I'll go, the year of my birth

'British food is bad' has been untrue for like a generation and a half at this point but really sticks around in the U.S. U.S. supermarkets are inferior to their U.K. counterparts!

Remember how appalled we all were in 2022 when Russia completely unprovoked attacked Ukraine? That is what we’re doing tonight with Venezuela. We are the bad guys here. Everyone who supports this is supporting unprovoked murder. Fuck every last one of them
