@ElDeadKennedy @nyanide The "ooohhhhhhh" is not satisfying v_v

@coolboymew @nyanide our dub is better

@coolboymew @nyanide power rangers was pretty popular too

@ElDeadKennedy @nyanide power ranger was cable TV only so I never got to see it much back then

So was Sponge Bob, but that was years later and I eventually got it. God, all these years of spongebob and fairly odd parents at 4PM

@coolboymew @ElDeadKennedy @nyanide SpongeBob and Fairly OddParents were probably the last shows i watched on Nickelodeon before I stopped watching the network entirely. Reminds me of my elementary and jr. high days quite a bit. I also liked the Adventures of Jimmy Neutron too. Too bad Planet Sheen was an irredeemable pile of garbage and killed the franchise.

@ooignignoktoo @ElDeadKennedy @nyanide I still watched when in college lol. I remember skipping shitty english second classes class for the latest ep of avatar (latest... in canada, at least)

G4TechTV Canada was the shit, they had their own adult swim programming with a lot of stuff from adult swim, NEW stuff too and they completely one upped the other lazy channels, and they had a bunch of other cool shit and anime

When the channel died the rest of Cable TV was practically dying anyways

@coolboymew @nyanide @ElDeadKennedy @ooignignoktoo Streaming was a mistake in many ways because they put out too much content for the world to handle. Breaking Bad was a smash hit because it was like a HBO style show; but you got AMC with your cable subscription back in the day and you didn't need to pay extra for HBO/Starz/Cinemax/etc. to watch something like The Wire, The Sopranos, etc. that was all the rage back in the day. That's what the cash cow is; a high budget episodic show that people will still quote/reference/meme for decades afterwards.

Nobody cares about some DEIslop western cartoon or similar; but a lot of normies are hyping up Severance. I have not watched it. I have no idea if it's good or shit. All I know is; it's the hype right now.

@PurpCat @nyanide @ElDeadKennedy @ooignignoktoo Streaming in general is a disaster for many, many, many reasons

You basically end up watching the same stuff if you aren't forced, like you did for TV

Having an always playing TV was super kino for playing JRPGs and stuff. Without it, I don't want to set something up that I will only half-watch. It's a me problem, but with TV, it was playing whether you liked it or not. No pause, no nothing. So you took what you get

Also content was limited, so you got what you'e got, and people around would have watched the same thing you did

@coolboymew @PurpCat @nyanide @ElDeadKennedy @ooignignoktoo I feel like that was more due to being a kid and living with other siblings who were watching TV while you were on the computer in the same room or something like that. I was never a TV person, but all my TV nostalgia comes from what my siblings were watching while I was in the same room.

@xianc78 @PurpCat @nyanide @ElDeadKennedy @ooignignoktoo I was a massive cartoon fan and I could not tell you how much I obsessed about wanting to have cable TV, because there were 24/7 cartoon channels

@coolboymew @PurpCat @nyanide @ElDeadKennedy @ooignignoktoo I kind of liked watching TV while being on the computer as a kid. I am pretty nostalgic for a lot of cartoons, but it wasn't really something I did exclusively.

Most of the flash and shockwave games I played as a kid were from Nick (Jr) and PBS Kids. So there's that.

@xianc78 @PurpCat @nyanide @ElDeadKennedy @ooignignoktoo kids channels websites were the absolute shit

YTV in Canada had some sort of robot thing you dressed up with unlockable codes you found on the site or were given on TV

Teletoon french and english had this massive awesome flash site with many, many games

@coolboymew @xianc78 @PurpCat @nyanide @ooignignoktoo I remember playing some official Ed, Edd & Eddy browser game. Maybe around 2005

@coolboymew @PurpCat @nyanide @ooignignoktoo @xianc78 I decided to go back to that website using Wayback Machine. THIS is what the soydevs took from you

@ElDeadKennedy @PurpCat @nyanide @ooignignoktoo @xianc78 the web was so much better back then, practically every sites was like that
