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
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
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.
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.
@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.
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@shitposter.world @ElDeadKennedy@shitposter.world @PurpCat@clubcyberia.co @nyanide@lab.nyanide.com @ooignignoktoo@shitposter.world @xianc78@gameliberty.club I would go on websites like these all the time as a kid. I'd go to official ones like for CN, Nick, Disney, Barbie/Mattel etc. But I'd find ones that would host a bunch of flash games ripped from other sites.
The official sites had cool collectibles like coloring pages to print out or desktop buddies to download too.
I just liked how it's this whole presentation with endless pages of content and rabbitholes.
@PurpCat @weeble @nyanide @coolboymew @ElDeadKennedy @ooignignoktoo At first I didn't know what you were talking about, until I looked it up and realize that it was rebranded as "Burger Tycoon" which I did play on AddictingGames. I was too young to care about politics so I didn't even knew it had anti-capitalist themes. But then again, I didn't really like the game because I always feel like tycoon games needed a save feature which that game lacked.
@PurpCat @weeble @nyanide @coolboymew @ElDeadKennedy @ooignignoktoo Well I did remember the same group also making a game about running an oil tycoon. That game was a lot more political because you bribe governments and manipulate elections in the game. But I was also way too young to understand it and the concept of running an oil company was way too boring compared to something like a burger restaurant or an amusement park.
I even remember PETA games being on other websites. Everyone thought they were just funny, gory parodies of Cooking Mama when in reality, they were originally meant to promote "animal rights".
