   I unironically want the world to end so I can re-experience the late 90s/early 00s again
   
   there was something so magical about those times
   the way technology was, the way pop culture was (darude sandstorm type music and spencers gifts aesthetics).
   The 2010s have been so soulless, the only remotely interesting development has been the whole Yung Lean/Sadboys thing and Chillwave.
   You have lots of kids these days trying to create interesting things, but it's fake and gay, it lacks the charm and soul that 90s/00s techno-futurism had.

   You need a Raspberry Pi in your life.

   if I get the mac mini instead of an iMac I'm going to get a 4:3 LCD monitor and move my HDTV to the living room then have only 00s era aesthetics and technology in my bedroom.
   I have a CRT tv my friend gave me a few months ago so I'll use that for watching video/playing games and as for music I'll stick to cds and vinyl.
   It helps too that the town I'm living in looks like it's stuck in the early/mid 00s.

   if I didn't have a need for modern software for video editing and music production then I would unironically stick to dated hardawre.
   I still have my copy of Windows XP my mom bought in 2003.

   Once I decorate my room to resemble the early 00s I'll make a series of videos on it
   
   also I want to go back to using my camcorder from my early teens, I just need to get it fixed.

    Yeah? Well I remember when we had nothing but smoke signals, messages in a bottle, and homing pigeons.

    these machines had like 256mb of ram or less
    then in 2003 my mom bought me an AOL bundle that came with a desktop, monitor and kb/m.
    It had like 512mb of ram and a 50gb hard drive … that's what I was using to browse TOTSE back in the day …
    peoples' watches have more memory than that now

    Looking through settings on Gmod, I found the custom spray section. I set up my custom spray many years ago on CS:S, and I guess at some point they put that shit in a cloud or something. My old spray was penis bird.
    
    Do not forget penis bird.

    its not easy then to try to pack everything you've downloaded into a 1.44mb floppy you has to make hard choices and we thought the problem would go away in the future when storage technology advances
    
    but now, some 20 years later im still struggling with the same problem.

    I wish I could go back to 2001 and look over my shoulder. All the sites I used. I don't even remember what I did for email back then.
