Switch to GILF pics to feel young again.
This...

Oh. also, you know you're getting old when you hurt your shoulder to the point of it being almost unbearable to life anything over your head and hurts if you take too deep a breath. What dangerous activity did this heinous damage to your shoulder you ask? Sleeping.

They came up with $1 million on kick starter for a polaroid type camera, because nobody nowdays has seen a camera that makes an instant print camera. All digital now. Kids these days. Apparently they still make film for it.

i had a polaroid camera when i was a kid, the pictures were fucking shit. my dad's polaroid camera from the 60s was actually better because the film was black and white and wasnt that horrible polaroid pink tinge they called color film. with monochrome images you could at least get good contrasts. kids today should be thankful the cameras on their phones are light years ahead of anything polaroid created. there is a company that deserved to go under. fuck them and their shitty film that was fucking expensive.

-edit, the instant film they still make today is fuji film which is still shitty, but way better color than what polaroid was making

I think to understand the greatness of the Polaroid process you would have had to have been older than a kid when the cameras were a thing. Naked pictures of your wife/girlfriend were out of reach to most people unless you had a darkroom or unless you were OK with the kid doing the processing at the five and dime having a copy of them, too.

That was the biggest selling point of a polaroid. Women weren't all that enthused about everyone at the photo place having a copy. Not to mention when 1 hour photo came into being they had glass walls in the malls so people could see what they were developing as they walked by.

I want to break out my atari and play some more river raid and pitfall.

But the last time I tried, I didn't have a TV with the right kind of connections. Everything I have is digital now. I need some sort of converter or an old ass TV.

From this weekend....

Brother in law scores tickets to watch the local NFL team's season finale for free, including parking right next to the stadium... and you mentally try to figure out graceful ways of not going because of how much traffic there will be around the stadium. (Full disclosure, it was for the Cowboy's game, and it turned out the traffic was almost non-existent...)

Dude, porn was free too if you checked the ditches and trash cans at truck stops.

That's totally worth. Man Ecco was the weirdest game, but I remember thinking the graphics were godlike. Probably looks like shit now
The music is still awesome. I had the Sega CD version. First Sega CD I had from Christmas never worked, I guess that was a common problem when it was new. I'll turn 40 in a few months :*( Did any of you older guys eventually stop staring at young girls trying to outdo each other with skimpy clothes, or is that still a thing at 60? :p

The only time I don't wake up to piss at night is if I drink zero liquid from about 8pm onward, and go to bed thirsty/half dehydrated. It sucks. I make it most of the night, but inevitably wake up around 6-6:30am having to piss (my alarm is set for 7). I'm not even 40 yet

How much water do you drink during the course of the day? If you drink enough, you shouldn't need to drink late at night to stop the dehydration.
