We thought it couldn’t get better than this, and in fact it didn’t get better.

The last 25 years was better and better browsers and web technologies, but the result now is a web that loads slowly and has tons of ads. Somewhere around 2008 was maybe the best, I dont remember exactly what year. But when the web was actually good and social media was not big yet.

I didn’t mind the early 2000’s web experience. You just kinda had to know how to get around, know what the fake download button looked like, not type your real name anywhere, have a little patience. The barrier to entry was slightly higher, which kept the masses away.
I think it was great, even with all its problems. Way less corporate too. - 14 days
Already running a dns ad blocker, but this wasn’t really a comment about how I personally avoid ads.

Now they have AI, and micro transactions if you want to buy more balls/cards.

Those of us who drew random squiggles in Paint and filled the loops using the bucket tool are just objectively better and healthier people. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The first PC I had in my bedroom didn’t have internet, in fact we didn’t have internet in the house at all, but when bored I would still click the internet E xplorer logo sometimes to see if it would magically work.

As a teenager, I got really good at drawing boobs from the side and the front in MS paint.
Then we got the internet and my digital art career went up in smoke at 28.8kbs.
Enter teenage me trying to draw (in Paint!) proper exposed boobies on this image from Pools of Darkness. That’s about when I gave up on my aspirations for becoming an artist.

Funny how it was Laura Croft’s triangular prism boobs that became so famous when there were better boob depictions in games with detailed pixel art.
Indeed, but personally, I always thought Lara’s calves were the most well formed bit ;)

Wow, that’s ambitious. But I get it - it’s sooooo close already!
That point when you’re zoomed in, coloring individual pixels with zero horniness, just all frustration and focus. Then you zoom out and your heart skips a beat. Ahh, those were the days.
I don’t know about the zero horniness, have you ever been a teenager? :D

It’s the pendulum, swinging from total focus on pixel-level edits, to “fully appreciating” your work over the space of 30 seconds.

Damn, now I understand when exactly I stopped doodling, with both the pencil and the mouse.

Funny that I had a similar skill. My drawings were all “under boob” pics. I focused on that. Tops of boobs are no big deal, but when a halter top is involved the tops are completely covered but a good portion of the bottom of the boob is exposed.

The rest of us had better jerk off a material.
Sorry that you had to cum to cards and pinball

That tickles a memory of an actual game from around that time that looked like that. I think it was one of the ones MS made free, though you might have needed to specifically install the extended game pack or play it with the windows CD in or something like that. Not the most solid memory I have, but I just remember the screen saver looked a lot like that game just without the actual game part.

Yeah, that’s the one! Lol my memory about it was so vague that while I remembered you had to collect things in the maze, I didn’t remember it was a capture the flag game. It came on the windows 95 CD, though IIRC you had to install it separately from windows, which I think meant not that many people were aware of it.
