What if you could go and a rent physical DVDs
Best date nights always started with a trip to Blockbuster.
I remember renting an N64 with Majora's mask and pulling an all-nighter so I could finish it during the two-day rental period. It was a good time to be alive.
It’s so weird how we look back on those things that were seen as inconveniences, driving to a physical store / rental time limits, as good things now.
It’ll be interesting to see if we find ways to kinda bridge those gaps.
Back then it was something to do. Now we've gotten rid of all those things to do for the sake of laziness, but we have nothing left to do but sit around the house and watch/play downloaded movies/games. And everyone wonders why they're bored and no longer have any friends.
