I referred to Jennifer Connolly as Stifler's mom and this zoomer gave me a blank stare.
Maybe because you meant Jennifer Coolidge.
If I wanted to talk to someone who wasn't in the same location as me, I had to know the ten digit number assigned to them.
If they were in the same city, you only needed 7...

I actually know what this means, from getting my mom’s Atari to work on my grandmother’s TV
I think it was channel 2 for that one though, idk. We switched to using the flatscreen because of the annoying high pitched noise. (To the annoyance of all retro gamers who read this)
It was channel 4 for us, because channel 3 was the local CBS affiliate and it would interfere with the signal from the NES. There was a switch on the console to flip between 3 and 4, because it varied depending on location which channel was optimal.
Channel 3 was CBS, 5 was ABC, 12 was NBC, and that was it.
The ABC affiliate would also broadcast Sesame Street because for most of my childhood, we didn't have a local public television station. When we finally did get one, you had to get cable to pick it up where I lived. I have vague memories of having cable in the house for a brief time around the time the ABC station stopped carrying the show, but my parents dropped it pretty soon afterward when we started to want to watch exclusively Nickelodeon. At least I always assumed that was the cause, but the cost of cable was probably a bigger factor. They compensated for that by recording movies that came on network TV with the VCR, and we happily rewatched those constantly instead of whatever we were missing on cable. We had whole shelves full of just VHS tapes full of movies recorded off the TV.
Idk why my mind went to the snes satiliview thing where they had a satellite broadcast your game in a way it was kinda like the first live service game
The best selling video game was all text with zero graphics; Zork.
Yeah all is nice and dandy until you get eaten by a grue.
I love how the title is "Tell me what it means" and then 747 replies later, no one has done that.
