Various Early 1990s PC Wallpapers

With all my digital hoarding, I've been sorting through things to share now and then from the dawn of the internet.

Here's a collection of 18 of the hottest wallpapers from back in the day. Having the coolest desktop background (and screensaver, too) was a serious symbol of how cool you were. When company came over, you would show that shit off like a trophy.

We would often wait for forever to download each one from a BBS (and eventually websites) even though they were usually 640x480 pixels in size or smaller with 256 or less colors...

When 3D computer-generated graphics started becoming a thing, hooooooo, the bandwidth it would eat...

Each one of these below were pretty popular (yes, even the Bart one) and I had applied every one of them to my PC at some point in the past. I remember them fondly!

I've enlarged each one to make them display on modern devices, but I have kept them pixel-sharp to give you the most authentic view. Enjoy!

that's how many bookmarks I have on Chrome, a browser which I hate but am clearly tethered to. most of them are probably dead links, sold-out clothes from several seasons past, events that ended years ago. a good chunk are things I wanted to read, or watch, or do. some of it is porn. I can't bring myself to delete them.

I've got tabs too. sooo many, 1158 on my laptop and certainly tens of thousands on my phone, which I have no way of checking. many of those have other pages "stored" in their histories, pages which I'm "meaning" to check out.

when I filled my YouTube Watch Later to 5,000 several years ago, I made a new playlist to replace it. that one is now also full. various spotify playlists "to listen to" totaling just under 551 hours. my letterboxd watchlist is 11,795 films long. not even getting into photos because I screenshot any and everything I see online. and I'm always online.

call it accountability.

i'm a bit of a noob on the sideblog scene and while sideblogs are helping prevent me from adding to either my 80k drafts or the continually rotting pile of literally over 1 million bookmarks of tumblr posts that i previously amassed...

i do, admittedly, sometimes save a post as a draft on my main blog, queue it on my catchall blog, and then straight up reblog it on a themed sideblog. in the span of about 5 seconds. and not delete the drafts

It’s obvious I had plans

It’s been a while since I’ve Tumblr’d due to some bad life shit and avoiding all social media. I just looked in my Tumblr folder, where I kept everything I wanted to upload. It’s full of sub-folders of categorized images. All sort of anime screenshots of odd things. Clocks, timers, syringes, turntables, fictional user interfaces, mirrors, anything subbed with the word “pervert.”

There is something to be said about TTRPG hoarding.

I was sad today because I found out about a game that would be amazing to play, but is currently out-of-print in Canada. Or the only copies I could find are clearly price gougers. The game has some amazing reviews and has won Ennie awards.

It’s Vaesen.

I even looked into shipping it from Sweden with copies of a couple of other games from the same publisher (Free League Publishing) that I enjoy (Mutant Year Zero, Mörk Borg and Pirate Borg). I realised quickly that as much as I covet these delicious games, I have to be conscious that I am not currently running a game and do not intend to start a group to run any of these games. So spending $200 or more to buy them will be frivolous at best.

To absolve me of my game goblin desires, I ran a bath with citrus mint honey bath foam and searched for Vaesen to find a subreddit to join.

When I saw a post that this time last year there was a Humble Bundle for Vaesen.

How sad, I thought, that I didn’t know about the game a year ago so I would have purchased the bundle.

Well, I argued with myself, maybe I did.

You have got to be kidding me!! If this is not proof that digital hoarding is beneficial I do not know what is.

Wheeee! Off to read me some game mechanics and look at pretty pictures and plan a campaign that I will most certainly never run.

Since you guys liked my first poster I decided to keep going and make another one! I got inspired by a vintage propaganda poster this time.

The design is up in my store!

VPet DigiDuet!

I never thought as an adult to have the chance to own one of these devices, feels like a dream 💚.

My first run was quite satisfactory: raised without trouble the whole line of Agumon… but made some mistakes when overfeeding Gabumon that made him evolve instead to Frigimon xD Still, I loved each moment of it!

Back to the drawing: because it was my first run, I delayed a little when choosing the second Egg after Agumon so, my Gabumon was always the "smaller brother" to him! I wanted to portray what I headcanoned as their relationship in these drawings x)

PD My VPet is a Glown-in-the-Dark version, which makes it extra badass for me to carry around ✨ I'll show a few photos of it under the cut.
