!!! I lost so much time to Emule! Sadly it is more a 00’s thing. (Which sounds like a fun tread!)

I guess that means you either lived through the 90s or are a current fan of Kevin Smith

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 2 years ago

I am both of those things.

I remember the info campaign of my country's change of currency when it got pegged to the Deutschmark after it did a Venezimbabwe. It was by a popular children's/teen tv show host.

I was about 2 or 3 but the only thing I remember is the news anchors repeating the word "Chechen" all the time. I understood nothing but it sounded funny.

We had a stereo with an inbuilt vinyl record player, as well as cassette tape player.

I played NES games on Terminator-2. Post-soviet collapse flooded the market with knockoffs which were decent for the price.

I remember watching Bill Clinton's scandal on the news though I had little idea what happened, nor what impeachment meant.

Whoa!
