#Mayllennial – Digital Pets

Day two of this month long writing challenge, how long shall I last?! Actually, this one could maybe be short. Because its "Digital Pets.". I was never really into Digital Pets, I guess? I had a Digimon Digivice, but I don't think I ever had a real Tamagotchi. On the other hand, I was into Pokemon. Like, a lot. In yesterday's "90s websites" post, I mentioned The Chaos Xone. My other website baby at the time was The Geocities Sailor Moon Fanpage Center. I mean, The Geocities Pokemon Center. Like, I liked Pokemon enough that I created my second website…

#Mayllennial – 90’s Websites

Today's topic, 90s Websites. I can, definitely attest to this one, I spent a lot of the 90s online. Hell, I have spent a lot of my life online. But I also ran some 90s websites. Back before wordpress and social media and micro-posting. There was not even a place to share. We didn't even really have RSS to keep up on things. I feel like I have mentioned it before, but this site started out as a 90s site on Geocities called The Chaos Xone. Because in the 90s, X was Xool like that. It's a versatile letter, it…

#Mayllennial

Get ready for a month of daily posts! Seriously, I have already written all most some of them. I came across this random Bluesky Skeet that was reposted by someone I follow. All of the topics seemed pretty doable and maybe interesting. Also, depending on how you slice it, I am technically on the bleeding front edge of Millennial. I certainly sympathize a lot more with Millennials I think, though I also don't really subscribe to the while Boomer Gen X Gen Y, Gen Z nonsense. I was also at the moment in a very weird funk of really kind…
Transformers x NFL – Tundra Prime and Steelsmash

Transformers x NFL – Tundra Prime and Steelsmash

Early this year, Hasbro started a collab line with the NFL. A line of football helmets that transform into football player styled robots. That's "American Football", in case the MFL part didn't make that obvious, though they also recently announced a similar line for Non-American Football (soccer), that turns into a football. Wait, do they call soccer balls footballs or is it something goofy like the kicky roundy? (Side note, when I first did this up, I only had Tundra Prime, so if there is weirdness about Steelsmash comments, that is why) Anyway, the initial line up had four teams,…
Fortnite – Laufey The Final Hour

Fortnite – Laufey The Final Hour

I'm not sure what makes for a "good choice" for a Fortnite music collaboration, but I can say Laufey feels like a very different choice for sure. Like Metallica, sure, Lady Gaga, ok, sure, she's got that crazy style and all going, Karol G, uh… sure, Gorillaz, absolutely, Sabrina Carpenter, she looks a little confused as to what she is doing but ok, and now, currently, we have Laufey. It's not any sort of knock on Laufey, I actually really like this and her bouncy jazzy music is pretty good, but it's also, kind of funny that she has skins…
