What has happened on 2001-12-31?

That was when extended support ended.

That honestly sounds really cool. Thanks for sharing!

What kinda animals can you make? Are there some that you excel at in particular that are out of the more ordinary repertoire?

I wished it was regular speed, to fall asleep to.

Unfortunately that video is about 80,000 photos combined, and not recorded video footage, so it's very sped up too. But it's beautiful, so a great find regardless. The night scenes in it, when slowed down to 0.1x speed only last a little under 2 min.
But I haven't had luck finding anything matching what @[email protected] asked for. I also checked Twitch, but couldn't find any.

I'm interested in seeing something like it too, so it'd be cool if someone came along with a link to something that matched!

I guess it's just too narrow a field.

Music, without a doubt. Specifically, being able to choose particular songs to listen to. I'd get pretty miserable after a few days.

For anyone wanting to know the music, it's My Vibe by Mt. Joy (YouTube link)

Also, outside the US WhatsApp is some kind of standard the way rich Americans think iMessage is. Companies will ask her to contact them on WhatsApp, so she'll have to have it regardless of your personal involvement.

That really depends on the country that the family member is moving to, and is not an absolute thing world-wide.

That sounds so cool, until I realize that I wouldn't understand anyone around me. It'd still be amazing to see everything, but it'd be even better if I could have some subtitles as well. To be fair, I'd have much the same issue, if I were to go back to London of that year.

It took me around 18 years to find the song, It's a Rainy Day by Ice MC (YouTube link), which I rediscovered last year.

My older sister used to buy a lot of different compilation albums, think stuff like "Now That's What I Call Music! (Wikipedia link)". I started listening to a lot of them, when I was around 6-7 years old, and while Eurodance songs like Rhythm Is a Dancer by Snap!, Be My Lover by La Bouche, Pump Up The Jam by Technotronic (YouTube links), and so on, were easy to track down throughout the years, there was always one song I couldn't find.
I couldn't even remember any lyrics, only that there was some rapping, where the dialect made it impossible for my child brain to absorb and retain any words. The only thing that I remembered was that there would be sentences ending with an "eh eh", and that's really not a lot to go on!

Until one day, when I was walking around a store and they started playing it over the sound system. I didn't even realize at first, but when that organ hit at 0:21, I literally snapped my head up towards the speakers, hahaha. Finding out that he was rapping in Jamaican Patois, it suddenly made a lot more sense why I hadn't retained any of the words.

Apparently they also used the song during the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony (Wikipedia link), which is wild to find out.

Some screenshots I took, wandering around the world of Cloudpunk. I still have yet to actually finish the game, but I just love the ambience of the world. Absolutely gorgeous.
