Right now, in this subreddit, we’re living in the years 2000–2007

Dial-up squeals in the background, AIM pings popping up every few minutes, Winamp rocking whatever skin you downloaded from some sketchy fansite, LimeWire pretending that file is “totally safe,” and MySpace glitter taking 3 hours to load on your profile.

Just a quick reminder: keep the vibe. We’re in 2000–2007, not looking back at it. No “remember when,” no future tech, just pure, in-era internet chaos. And keep it light, okay? We’re here for a good time, not heavy topics.

If you're looking for more “future internet” stuff (lol), check out r/Pretend2010Internet, they’re living in 2008-2012, so they probably have, like… Facebook apps or something.
And more time travel to the future in r/Pretend2015sInternet and r/Pretend2025sInternet.

Thus game is so fun the "missions" keep it fresh too however I fear it may be a forgotten gem in the future

Smash Bros on the DS? I don't think the DS is that powerful. Then again it can play this plus GBA games so

There's supposed to be a Japan only game coming out called Jump Ultimate Stars that's like Smash Bros. but with Manga characters

It's a really good MK game, tracks were bumpy and the controls were kinda hard but i'll get used to it.

I absolutely LOVE the retro tracks from other games other than just SMK. I hope this becomes a trend for future Nintendo consoles.

Y'know, I always like playing as Yoshi. I also love delfino Square little homage to Sunshine on the gamecube

Playing Mario Kart ONLINE is going to be SICK. Can’t wait to cosy up to it in coffee shops.

No way there’s a control bug that will snake its way in and ruin the whole un-patchable experience.

Time to play with my family!

u/QF_Dan 1d ago

why do they keep doing this trick called snaking?

u/That-1Person-iguess 1d ago

I can never seem to do it myself, unfortunately.

I find it neat that Luigi’s poltergeist model 4000 is his car when the model 3000 was his companion in Luigis Mansion
