It’s funny (not funny) that those 3 things seem like the least bad things a person could pick, when complaining about 2026.
Take me back
Playing on gba, snes and genesis emulators on my yellowish pc, good times

When I had chronic insomnia (still get it, but it’s managed by meds now) about 30 years ago, I used to just sit up all night and watch rage. I found some epic music on there.
1.) I found tons of great music through Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater
2.) I’m a poser and assumed it was a RATM shirt. Was Rage a publication?
THPS was a gateway drug to metal via punk

Oh, that makes more sense. Rage was (is?) a tv show on ABC (Australia) and they play music all through the night. lots of indie stuff and other stuff like that.
But in retrospect, I believe you are correct.
Hell yeah, so it was like your version of prime MTV2/Fuse TV, maybe. For awhile, they returned to their music roots and it was epic.
Yup. Rage is epic. It got me through MANY sleepless nights. I had insomnia for 10+ years, sleeping 4-5 hours a WEEK. Rage helped. A lot.
Mind you, this was before pirating movies took minutes. Back then when i had insomnia chronically, it would take 4-7 days to download a movie on dialup.
I look back now and remember how rewarding it was when that DivX file finally finished. “Hell yeah, movie time!”
I remember when download managers were invaluable. Leaving a download running overnight on trailer park internet, only to find in the morning that it had failed. Soul-crushing.
haha yeah, or downloading a movie over a week only to find out it was german scat porn lol. True story.
My only counterpoint would be “downloading a movie and discovering Jordan Capri.”
Such good soundtracks, like almost every one of them puts you in that era.
It was so good!

raaaaaaaaaaaaa-ge
I had that Rage shirt
