i didn't give a QUARTER of a SHIG when aim went down but losing yahoo im taught me that the only thing you can trust in this bitch of an earth is the president of the united states, and this was during the bush era

this also made me think about what typical online conversations were like for me in high school vs. what it's like now, and the difference is crazy

high school: a lot of one-on-one IM conversations with people (both e-friends and irl friends), and then maybe being on IRC with internet friends only
now: like, absolutely no one-on-one text-based conversations -- text messages aren't a long-haul format, and unlike the "chill on AIM" era where people were either "available" or "away" and probably just fucking around on their computer, you have no idea how "available" your phone friend is at a glance. DMs with irl friends on Instagram or whatever are strictly limited to like why I haha'd at your meme. we are not going to actually talk about anything at length unless we're hanging out in person. groupchats on discord.

that's fucked up
i'm fucked up

I'm still mourning the loss of art that I only had hosted at myfrogbag. Which, in retrospect, should have been very easy to see coming, but still.

I was just thinking about your old choose-your-own-adventure threads

probably gone?

there was one where we were a robot, and somebody unplugged us, and the next like 5 actions were just the unplugged robot completely shut down lol =(

and there was one where we were like a big guy?
like a big monster guy

it's Dora's long lost cousin four times removed.

Did this the other day and sent it to Adam but he didn't seem interested in doing anything with it so here you go

did you tell him that you knew parody was already protected and it was just a coincidence that, after eleven years of work, you finished right now

Nah it was only to redraw it to look just like mickey and to capitalize on the copyright status being in the news

Aww it makes me sad. I barely remember those, I would have loved to revisit them. Looks like they were lost in an ancient hard drive failure, though. Maybe I have some really old burned CD backup somewhere.

The only thing I found was some Borund, whatever that is:

aw :3

I think that's the big guy I was thinking of. either way I love him

mysterious borund thread

this is like uh



that thiiiing... that, the guy...

🤔


a guy made a bunch of paintings or illustrations for a book of short stories, but then the stories were lost because the author disappeared or something, so all that was left were these mysterious illustrations and a few sparse sentences that told just a fragment of a story.
does anybody know what I'm talking about?
god, this is gonna drive me crazy

there was one with a thing under a rug

help me friends

there's a wocket in my pocket

it was The Mysteries of Harris Burdick but never mind that now

the only you can prove to me that it was not There Is One Wocket In My Pocket that will satisfy is a Dr Seuss lore check: what was the name of the guy sitting on the couch
