#oldskool feel

[anna-neko]

here's a true damn sign of brainrot; not the silly fandom term but true legit cannot brain, the cells have rotted away

self, u know how to do shit like this. You were doing it for more years than this platform existed. For half your damn life; both for yourself & most of your friends** Editing a bunch of images, keys smashing away HTML codes to override half of LJ/Geocities/Blogger bullshit to make sparkling perf layouts **Weird Al lyrics, that was me! ♪♫ got a business doing websites /When my friends need some code, who do they call? / I do HTML for 'em all♫♪

Yes, TD/TR tables are replaced in favor of much more flexible DIV .... and CSS has been around long enuff that can do it in my sleep.... but fuuuuuuu now staring at Tumblr theme Customize box and literally feeling my brain shutting down.

opinions on Vanessa Y.T 😅😅

She was reallu cool + her and Jimmy were dating for like a whileso I respect her a lot ….I don’t have anything to dislike about her and I feel really bad about how oldskool mindless fans treated her LOL

I would post her more but there’s only so many photos and videos of her, and my goal is to post mostly things you guys HAVENT seen …

now i obviously gotta ask you #12 for retaliation purposes lol

HA!! Joke’s on you tho bc I LOVE AAALLLLLL THE PUNCTUATION?!!...\<^{][^€<{<…{>&#-+=*(“)’,!! (And will hideously overuse it at any opportunity unless I consciously self-limit 😆)

I will say that I’m oldskool and the use of <3 irks me because my brain always, always , always reads it as “less than three”, and I can’t seem to train myself out of it 🙄👵

And I don’t like it when people make pictures using punctuation, but that’s definitely because I don’t know how they do it and it makes me feel inferior/I’m jealous 😅

i made an oldskool trance mix

i don't know why i haven't posted this here yet. i made an oldskool trance mix for glotaku's Y2K stream a while back. this is actually the full cut of the mix, with additional tracks and extended transitions. prog/breaks/euro. was trying to go for a very PS2 game soundtrack feel.

So… i had a few minutes this weekend and after looking around on my wishlists and libraries of unplayed games i installed Skyrim again. Oldskool vanilla Skyrim with my 10 year old character.

And it's fun, just being in this world, talking to people, questing, skilling, roleplaying my argonian thief. I don't really feel like i need to install patches and mods, it's good enough.

Had a strange sound bug, apparently because my machine is too fast and too good, so i had to manually lower max fps and resolution. felt like a hacker

KING YOOF - JUNGLE MANIA RECORDINGS - RETROSPECT MINIMIX 2024

King Yoof showcases old, new and upcoming Jungle Mania Recordings releases with a killer minimix! A little taster of what this label has to offer including tracks from the likes of Jamie G, Papa Gee, Kalia, King Yoof and more. The tunes capture the feel of oldskool Jungle with exceptional modern day production standards. This is a great introduction to a label you need to know and a great mix to…

minecraft alpha is so spooky. when it's dark it's dark. a1.2.6 feels kinda empty tho so if i had to pick a version for long term oldskool play i'd probably go with beta 1.7.3

[easygreens]

feeling old yet...

[benihana-circumcision]

but also i feel like if i did that i'd have to pair it w/ like. dbeat + oldskool anarchapunk. wanna maybe get a lil skramz with it, lil wacky with it

current bdu jacket is kinda stagnating and i want something for woke slut summer.... what if i thrifted a silly lil denim vest, did the black crustpaint thing, then cropped it ... much to consider

This might be weird but I’ve been trying to get into “older” fantasy books (or pretty much books that came out before I was born in the early 2000s) and it seems like you read a lot of fantasy books from the 80s, 90s and earlier and was wondering if you had an recommendations for “older” fantasy series!!

I feel indescribably old rn lol.

Let me see! Standard disclaimer that older novels are often not going to have a modern understanding of... much of anything, and that the publishing industry was EVEN WHITER AND MORE FILLED WITH DUDES during the period you're asking about.

(also you might be better off asking @agardenandlibrary)

That being said:

The Hero and the Crown by Robin McKinley! The phrase "Lady Aerin, dragon killer!" lives in my brain rent free at any given time! Socially awkward princess fumbles her way to relevancy but not respectability by way of an old warhorse and dragonslaying, and then has to save the country from her evil uncle. I did enjoy The Blue Sword for what it was, but it is also a little more Questionable in places. Robin McKinley and romance are wary literary roommates and she appears to include it because she has to, so don't go in expecting in-depth explorations there.

The Keltiad? I'm gonna say the Keltiad. It's technically sci-fi but it has magic.

I used to try to recommend Mercedes Lackey, and I guess I'll toss her a mention here, but her handling of mental health is extremely poor, her view appears to be that being queer means you're miserable no matter what, and frankly I didn't actually enjoy the books outside of the original trilogy and the second Alberich novel? IDK. Go in knowing there's some bullshit there and you're probably fine (warning for an EXTREMELY EXPLICIT rape scene or seven in the vanyel novels and less explicit ones in... most of the others). I do like the magic soulmate horses.

(this is when I hauled up goodreads and started looking at publishing dates)

Sabriel by Garth Nix! It's the first in a series, and while I personally think the first one is the best the rest of the series is good too and plenty of people like the second one best, which is understandable because it has a magic library and stabby librarians

Discworld. Whichever you can pick up really but especially the watch books and tiffany aching.

Redwall!

I still love Wheel of Time, I talk about it a lot for all its problems.

Tamora Pierce!

Ursula Le Guin!

The Queen's Thief series just ended recently (I think?) but started in 1996 and is worth a read

Dianna Wynne Jones!

That's what I've got for now

But seriously pls check out Cara's podcast or shoot her an ask, she makes it a mission to read oldskool fantasy
