Excellent memories! I used PC Globe so much when I was in elementary school. I didn’t have an encyclopedia, and when some friend handed me that diskette it opened a new world to me. I ran that software so much that I memorized the world map, with capitals and population orders of magnitude.

My geography teacher was so impressed, they didn’t know how a small kid could have memorized the world. I even knew some anthems by playing them on the PC Speaker. Over time we all got Encarta, then Wikipedia, but for a brief amount of time, a floppy disk contained the world for many of us.

Awesome!

Since the Digg migration, when was that, 2010?

Since Reddit’s APIcalypse the content of that site has gone to the drain. It is very clear that power users are no longer posting quality content. I am much more amused by Lemmy than Reddit nowadays, though it’s true that it has that new car smell and the communities will keep growing and reforming from the Reddit ashes.

I don’t think Reddit will disappear, but it’s not the same site it was two months ago, that’s a fact.

Shows go by fads. The 2010s decade was crazy about zombies. Now it’s all about retro.

I actually used beos as a daily driver for a few months. This was maybe around 2000 or 2001. WinME crashed a lot for me and I couldn’t make linux detect my winmodem. Installed beos and everything was great. Dual booted with windows 98 when I wanted to play StarCraft.

Moved to Linux soon after but I will always remember those great days.

What a beauty!

Quite a lot more, I’d say there is 2x to 3x more. And more importantly it feels complete. The movie seems like it needed a sequel and that sequel is in the manga.

If you liked the movie you’ll love the manga, guaranteed

cfenollosa on SDF. Introduced to anime in the early 90s via Dragon Ball, Dr. Slump and Captain Tsubasa, my most loved mangas. In the late 90s Evangelion changed something in my brain forever.

Nowadays I don’t follow the new releases, but I’m always curious to read any manga that falls in my hands. As I grow older I feel like I don’t have time for animes though, the pacing on screen is usually very slow for my taste. But I constantly rewatch old gems such as Cowboy Bebop, FLCL, Future Boy Conan and the likes.

Happy to join a community to talk about oldschool japanese animation!
