What was using the internet in the early 2000s like?
  • Oh yeah and there were a handful of multiplayer ones where one player used the left half of the keyboard and the second player used the right half.

    And maybe a handful of websites where there was actually a chatroom where you talked with a stranger while you played your shitty flash game.

  • What was using the internet in the early 2000s like?
  • The Internet was...Weird. it was way more anonymous and way less centralized. You didn't just check Reddit or Lemmy or YouTube, you had a favorites bar. You would go down the list and check 4 different flash websites, 3 forums, and some news/entertainment article sites.

    And friends would constantly tell you new sites you had to check out. And webcomics. You would find a webcomic and read it from the start, then add it to your weekly update list.

    It was also peak gross Internet. You would always be wary of links friends would send. Goatse and lemon party were guaranteed to be hiding in one.

    Everyone had their favorite flash game site. Simple, one player games that you did just for fun. No achievements or social element besides sharing the link with a friend.

  • What's a stupid headcanon you have about either series that barely affects the story?
  • There was no fan service that I remember and bi people exist.

    The Varrick was one of the more fun side characters out of both series. His old timey cockiness and immorality was really interesting.

    Korra started off cocky and pampered, then got her ass handed to her time and time again, slipped into depression and came back.

    The equalist movement was awesome and raised good points.

    Zaheer was a cooler villain than most Aang villains.

    Korra had its flaws but I thought it was enjoyable and rewatchable.

  • What's a stupid headcanon you have about either series that barely affects the story?
  • That's another possible explanation. I still like mine more, but still cool.

    The retcon makes it seem like lava bending should be more common though. Like, you would think King Boomy would be able to lava bend, with his chill demeanor and philosophy.

  • What's a stupid headcanon you have about either series that barely affects the story?
  • That the exotic bending we see if due to mixing races.

    Lava bending is earth bending and fire bending. That's why Bolin can lava bend, but his earth bending isn't pure enough for him to metal bend.

    Explosion bending is air and fire. Sand bending is earth and air.

  • That's not troubling at all
  • IDK if I missed something or I just disagree, but I remember all but maybe one short story ending up with the laws working as intended (though unexpectedly) and humanity being better as a result.

    Didn't they end with humanity being controlled by a hyper-intelligent benevolent dictator, which ensured humans were happy and on a good path?
