Grunge is not a fad. And for the record Eddie better and mark langlain ,,,however you spell it... Are the last front men standing from the grunge era
Now when I see someone saying 'gatekeepers are the problem', I assume they were kicked out of somewhere for being a bigot.
My mom almost bought me a tamagachi in the 90s. I say almost because what she actually bought me was a cheap knock off.
What I remember most about it was my friend showed me their tamagachi, and it's born as an egg.
Then I remember what mine was born as.
Imagine seeing this pixel art gorilla, and then he sees a second pixel art gorilla wearing a skirt. Then you see the closeup of the male gorillas face, and he wiggles his eyebrows exitedly.
The next thing you see is a pixel art of a sperm attacking an egg. In a knockoff tamagachi meant for children. I was 13, so I was old enough to know what I was seeing, but it definately had some real WTF vibes. Let's put it this way. I'm 41. I remember nothing else about that tamagachi besides seeing pixel art gorilla sperm.
That's all. I just wanted more people to know about chinese knockoff tamagachi with gorilla sperm.
This might be the very first time anyone has ever typed "pixel art gorilla sperm". I mean unless you've told the story before.
I feel enlightened!
We thought the internet would change the world. It did, but the world changed the internet, too.
The internet in its original concept was great. Unfortunately it wasn't shaped around profit, so it was quickly remodelled.
The gatekeepers moved to control the internet.
Yeah, that third one was a mistake.
Grunge was not wacky
