That's wonderful! Whereabouts are you traveling, if you don't mind me asking? I was mostly in the north around Trujillo, but I spent a couple weeks in Lima once, and a month in and around Cusco when I made the trek to Aguas Calientes, then Machu Picchu.

I've been itching to get back to Perú ever since!

I lived in Perú for a while on a study abroad/student exchange program and can confirm -- you can't swing a cat in Perú without hitting some archeological wonder, and it's not just Lima. I spent some time in the northern deserts, up near Chiclayo and Lambayeque, and visited so many fantastic Moche sites that they almost started to get boring by the end.

What stuck with me the most, however, as walking through the sand dunes and literally tripping over ancient pottery that was just sitting in the sand, partially exposed. Ceramics were everywhere, and it was otherwise untouched but also unprotected. Absolutely blew my mind as an American to whom anything older than 200 years feels ancient and rare.

Wonderful country, Perú. I highly recommend a visit to anyone who has the opportunity to go. There's so much more than Machu Picchu (although that site is a stunning must-see, ofc).

They're right that I grabbed a screen of the map from Halo 2 though, tbf! I was in a haze of nostalgia and got wreckless. 😂

[–] nineninenine 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Jesus, I forgot how simple it looked in CE! 2001 wasn't THAT long ago, right?

...right? 😅

[–] nineninenine 5 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Aww, my bad. I haven't played CE in ages, and just recognized the layout of the map.

 

SLAYYYERRRRR

Dude I was just thinking that if there was an OldNeopets (a la Runescape and 2007Scape) I would be all over that shit, possibly to my own detriment.

[–] nineninenine 2 points 11 months ago

There was definitely some well-founded speculation for a while that Disenchantment would get the axe because Netflix was canning so many other series, but apparently it survived! So now we get more Futurama AND more Disenchantment!

Making my shop and pet pages taught me HTML, no cap. Then I grew up to become a web developer.

[–] nineninenine 2 points 11 months ago

Oh man, the feeling of grinding those games for weeks to save up for my first paintbrush and then FINALLY BUYING THE PAINTBRUSH... just... euphoric.

[–] nineninenine 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Oh man, I bet that was the shit. I couldn't ever get ANYTHING from that goddamn money tree!

I was all about Tiki Tombola.

Yes!

I'm pretty sure I know the entire first Charlie the Unicorn video word-for-word in both English and German.

I'm posting here enough now (lol, twice, but I intend to keep em coming as a certified child of the aughts) that I should probably volunteer to mod, if you need another. 😁

Neopets! (lemmy.world)

I blame Neopets for making me confused about the spelling of colour and color as a US American child. 😅

@joshstrangehill is the new season of disenchantment finished filming or is it still filming

[Reply Tweet from Josh Weinstein (@joshstrangehill)]

It was all written, filmed, etc before the strike (we had been scheduled to finish in May, just by chance, and had been in post since December) so we are done with the season. Because of the strike, we cannot promote the show though I believe we can talk about it on our personal social media when it comes out, which is up to Netflix.

 

I spent an absolutely absurd amount of time making clothes and accessories in MS Paint for Dollz in the 00s. Now they're like a time capsule of idealized fashion from the first part of the new millennium.
