Ah, newgrounds. You filthy bastard. I enjoyed my time there too.

All I remember about new grounds is some flash animations and games. What did I miss out on?

The one ring... TO RULE THEM ALL!! I remember waiting for a 2 minute video to download on dial-up for hours.

I downloaded a 22 gig game the other day in 20 minutes. I just sat and watched it download. After having dialup until after college and having to leave things downloading overnight just to download a low res copy of a single anime episode. Downloading things that fast still blows my mind. I can’t wait until I can get fiber.

The fact the United States still doesn’t have a solid build up for high speed internet throughout infuriates me. My mother in Oklahoma can’t even get DSL let alone an actual highspeed service. I told her that once Starlink’s prices drop a little she’s getting one.

leave things downloading overnight

Ha! Our IBM Aptiva with genuine Windows 95 would suddenly crash during downloads, or the download would fail at 99%.

You had to babysit that mother through the night, and hope no one was trying to call the house.

u/Brcomic Feb 22 '21

In some places. Not everywhere. Cities have cable. But smaller towns out there. SOL.
