That is used for damn near everything now, I mean my gen was pretty much the first one to grow up with the internet being a major factor in development to the point where I can't imagine life without it.

Well being broke I somehow managed when I was younger. But yeah, its so convenient that it's weird to work without it.

Then again, the internet wasn't AS vital as it was today until like late middle school for me.

One thing I will never comprehend is why the latest COD game uses the Quake 3 engine.

TV and video rentals for the most part. Classic Nickelodeon, Fox Kids, Kids WB, One Saturday Morning, and if your parents had money for cable: Cartoon Network. I remember being allowed one Blockbuster rental every two weeks or being allowed to rent one VHS tape from the library every week.

I only got my first game system (GBA) just a few months before I turned 9 years old. Mixed in I remember playing a lot with Legos, library books, playing with anything non-VG related to Pokemon, being partially forced into weekly soccer/T-Ball leagues, Saturday morning swimming lessons, church groups, etc. Both of my parents worked, so I was babysat/after school programs until I turned 13.

Prior to all of that I remember early typing classes in 1st Grade, but the internet was much more of an adult thing until I discovered Serebii.net and PokemonElite2000 in 2004. It blew my mind to learn about things like Pokemon Emerald, Deoxys, and that Diamond/Pearl had been announced (but wouldn't be out for two years). It was so cool to brag to my friends about all these cool things that got announced months in advance in Japan, complain about Event Pokemon being NY/LA only, or talk about cheat codes for games we had/hadn't beaten.

Social media with the advent of MySpace and Facebook were the wild west and my school spent a lot of money on programs to try and teach us about disclosing information and scaring us by having us watch episodes of Dateline. There's a reason why my Username is a amazingly bad as it is.

Beyond that it wasn't until 2008 that my older brother was able to figure out how to hook our Wii up to the internet and 2011 before we got a Wi-Fi router. I didn't get my first phone until I graduated High School and didn't get my first smart phone until 2016. To be honest, I think I got a lot more done prior to the internet boom as a whole.

Books (comic and picture books mostly), physical toys (Lego, Kinex, Action Figures, Railroad Sets, tiny cars and trucks, etc.), movies, cartoon tv shows, video games (N64, GCN, DS, PS2), and exploring the outdoors (from rural to urban to everything in between). Being a young kid who was more easily entertained also helped.

Most of my early use of the internet was just for using it as a guide for video games I was playing at the time, it wouldn't be until later that I got into social media and the like.

I think there's only the Omega, Ultima, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Golden, and Diamond WEAPONS. Are there more WEAPONs besides those?

I was watching Aliens: The Return (not sure if that's the English name, I just translated the spanish one) alongside my grandfather's dog and she got genuiely scared of the movie due to the sounds and was hiding her face with a pillow of the sofa.

I felt quite bad for her so I calmed her down and helped her get distracted enough with a toy so she didn't notice the sounds of the movie as much. She felt way better after that.

I think I actually found a way to almost softlock yourself in AM2R. (and the only way to un-lock yourself require you perfect bomb jumping in a long room, so good luck with that lol)

For those curious, it's the room just before you get the high jump boot.
