Options much like the ones in those mobile ads

[–] [email protected] 60 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 33 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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

And here you are whinging.

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.

[–] [email protected] 54 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Video game ads used to be wild.

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

[–] [email protected] 8 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!

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 year ago (5 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

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

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

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.

Age 17: Get lucky on the dancefloor and maybe in the bedroom.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

"Date" instead of sleep. Slightly tamer.

Age 100: Spend your golden years reading books. Like the Kama Sutra.

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

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ironically, that is the only option you cannot do in the Sims 2.

Screaming and Punching are both under the fight submenu, with Divorce being under its own.

Crying is fully autonomous, and they will do it for potentially the rest of their life.--

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

So it's like in real life!

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

Delete gym and punch lawyer

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

At least loverslab mods make this a reality.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

This is the way.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Fuck I loved the Sims 2
