Dino-Riders: Extinct Too Soon It’s my personal belief that action figures–and possibly physical toys in general–peaked in the 1980s. Sure, I’m probably biased because I was a kid back then, before every house had an…

Yeah I loved the toys! And I wrote a reasonably good blog post about Dino Riders on my *other* site.

Please tell me someone else remembers DINO RIDERS??

I had a VHS of the first episode that I watched almost every day and even had a few of the toys.

I mean, it had dudes riding armored dinosaurs with lasers and missile launchers on them.

It was SO RAD, but sadly it's mostly been forgotten.

Somebody ordered a phat stack from my eBay store. If only they knew I've got the same inventory in better condition and slightly cheaper on my website...

Ended my first attempt at Slay the Spire 2. Not bad.

The game seems good so far. It doesn't stray far from the original. Identical gameplay so far, but of course the characters tend to play very differently from each other. Looking forward to getting killed again.

What, why? I thought we all agreed that Starfield was tedious and unrewarding.

I never saw these until more recently, but seems like they would be so limited and un-fun. Historically interesting though

It was so much more difficult to be an asshole before internet.

The only ways most people could communicate was by phone conversation, mailed letter (probably hand-written), or in person.

There was no online anonymity. If you said something, you owned it. There was a social obligation to be chill.
