Back when you could actually have funny ads and not worry about people whinging about it online

[–] Wanderer@lemm.ee 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Society peaked.

Absolute foresight from the matrix to say 1999 was as good as it gets.

Send me back.

[–] SchizoDenji@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Ehh not really. Social awareness like for example the LGBTQ+ movement gained a lot of support in past decade.

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

And here you are whinging.

[–] lowleveldata@programming.dev 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Nah people still joke about cheating. They love those sexual drama so it's fine.

TIL Brazzers has been in gaming advertising since at least 2002.

[–] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 41 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Video game ads used to be wild.

[–] loutr@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 year ago

"John Romero's about to make you his bitch. Suck it down."

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Oh, totally. I’m a child of the 80s and remember them fondly. I just thought it would be a funny comment.

Man, some of those ads were the epitome of sex sells!

[–] Sylver@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago (3 children)

All those bottom ads are crazy, too.

“Age 23: (sleep?) your way through the phone book. Twice.”

“Age 40: have a midlife crises for your 40 year old with two 20’s (in a hot tub)”

Age 100 something about spending your time reading books. Like the Kama Sutra

[–] HairHeel@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

Given the year, this probably came from one of those “Playboy lite” men’s magazines that were popular at the time, like Maxim or FHM.

Are you some sort of pixel oracle? I could not read that, even if my life depended on it.

[–] shukufuku@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

You merely adopted the pixels. I was born in it, molded by it.

[–] Thavron@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

"Date" instead of sleep. Slightly tamer.

[–] Endorkend@kbin.social 17 points 1 year ago

At least loverslab mods make this a reality.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 year ago

Betting they didn't even code any of the buttons except join.

[–] Norgur@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Join, punch, divorce
In that order, in quick succession

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Join, scream, punch, "finish" , cry. Dated that. Fun but never again.

[–] keefshape@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

This is the way.

[–] Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The Sims used to be so edgy back then, I miss it.

[–] bitsplease@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

It also used to be good. Man what I would give for a non-mtxn riddled modern Sims

[–] finthechat@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago

Delete gym and punch lawyer

[–] harpuajim@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Fuck I loved the Sims 2

[–] lostme@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Options much like the ones in those mobile ads

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml -4 points 1 year ago

I dated a girl in college that would have selected "all of the above" except Divorce. Why not Divorce? Because one should never marry crazy.
