Flip phones, myspace ...

The good old days when phones lasted 5 days before a charge was needed.

Heh, I've been digging out my 2000's era Dragon and Dungeon magazines lately, trawling for stuff to use in my Ghost of Saltmarsh campaign. Some great adventures, but, the advertisements ? Yeah, some of that stuff does NOT age well.

What was that online game? Evony Online. Now there's some advertising that shows its age.

The advertisements? Ads for what? Im wracking my brain and all i remember are ads for miniatures and naughty word. Maybe my brain didnt bother memorizing the useless stuff. Still, what were the bad ones. Also bad because its annoying that they took up space or bad because they were irrelevant or bad for political reasons or bad for "miscellaneous" reasons?

Evony Online used the power of cleavage to sell a middling kingdom builder game. It had buxom babes with a tag line like "Come play, my lord"

Really neckbeardy stuff.

Ah. That didnt age bad at all. Ive always found wastes of space annoying. Buxxome or not. Thats not worsened because attempts at seduction are always annoying regardless of the decade.
I definitely agree that thats annoying though. 100%.
Gold diggers and neckbeards...yeah. I want more of that in my d&d. Sign me up.
I didnt even remember they were a thing due to how hard i was ignoring them lol.

IMO Linkin Park aged just fine, bc it was genuinely good music, whereas most Nu Metal was pretty mediocre (if fun/effective).

For a large part of my demographic, very little after 1989 is really worth remembering. (And of all the examples listed in this thread, Friends is the only one that I even liked to begin with.)

I actually think Jackass is due for a comeback. Or at least something like it, as many of the original guys are probably too old to handle those kinds of stunts now.

Nothing in the last 30 years?
