    Hello Izzzyzzz! I was at my local antique store when I found a bunch of blindbags labelled "Filly Princesses".
    They appeared at first to be basic MLP knockoffs, but when I researched them (as you do), I discovered they have a lot of lore (for the company, AND for the toys themselves). I may have fallen into a horsey rabbit-hole. Apparently the toys also contain a high trace of cadmium!
    It would be so cool to possibly see these guys get covered, I thought you might find them interesting
    The more I research, the more bizzare stuff I find on them.

    I never owned smart phones in the early 2010 decade because I was still in elementary school and I didn't get my first phone until 2017 when I was in high school. But I do remember walking into my nearby Verizons and playing their app games like Temple Run or others. I also remember the babysitters of Kid's Time (a daycare center my parents sent me to since I was a toddler until I was a young teen when I waited for my parents in an after school program in middle school) owning smart phones and they allowed us to use them and play app games on them such as Angry Birds, some weird shaving simulator, and DWTD (The Warioware-like mobile game) as examples. But seeing these iPhone menus made me think of the early days of smart phones.

    In the late 90s, early 2000s I was obsessed with desktop themes and winamp skins. Desktop themes changed you pc wallpaper, screen saver, mouse pointer, icons, text fonts, menus, sound effects and often even added interactive features like cats walking around the screen, sleeping on top of screen windows and purring when you used the mouse pointer to pet them. Virgin Airlines had a desktop theme where the ceo of the company randomly parachuted out of a passing plane on screen and if you clicked on him you got to do a digital scratch lottery ticket with a chance of winning a trip. After parachuting and landing at the bottom of the screen he walked about doing random stuff and reacting to what you did on the screen. 😅 I loved the cartoony themes and had a Winnie the Pooh one that was colorful and had buzzing cartoon bees and dripping honey icons. And lovely music and Pooh quotes played every now and then. 😊

    One of the issues with jailbreaking a phone was that you could brick it. And if you were a kid who couldn't "just buy another one," bricking your device was a real terror.
    I remember when I was younger, I think iPhone 3gs/4? I had the boring background, but my friend had a Matrix wallpaper, with the scrolling letters and numbers. I was so jealous of him!
    Then a few years later, I eventually got my first android to see what it's like. And learned the sad reality of my dreams. Animated wallpapers drain batteries like no tomorrow!
    ---------
    I've used quite a few iphones, and currently use an iPhone 14 pro max, but I've also used a lot of androids in my past too. My favorite one is the Samsung Galaxy Note. Having a built in stylus is amazing.
    I often tell people that I'm not a fanboy of either. If I had "just a phone," I would use a Samsung Note, or whatever their flagship stylus one is now. But since I'm pretty invested in the ecoystem--I use Apple. I use the ipad for digital art, I love the watch, and the phone just slots in there.
    Ironically enough, I'm not a Mac computer person. I never was. I've been a hardcore PC enthusiast since the early 90s. And LGR (and his Sim reviews) hit me with that nostalgia feeling, lol. I feel like I'm a good 5-10 years older than Izzy's timeline, but some of it is pretty nostalgic. Like I was there when Sims 1 first came out, but then did adulting stuff after, so lisening to her take on the games that followed was a lot of fun learning.
    I graduated from high school in 2004. So the early 2000-2004 years were peak teenager exploring early internet days and it was a lot of fond memories.
    ==================
    An absolutely ironic, and funny thing! Since I'm just throwing tangents out here. My partner is from Romania, and I had no idea that the "Numa Numa" song was Romanian, so I get to joke that her culture left its mark on the internet as well. ;)

    I've got a Samsung S20 5G FE. Can confirm: this trend is still available and strong on Samsungs.
    My family hates my custom font (I think its just called "Cookie"? Might be wrong though!) and phone theme, but I love it all so much! (It's like a black cat in a potions shop with little slimes on a shelf. It's called "[jamjam]pixel art Witch Shop_Cat", and it's basically what I've always wanted ever since seeing all the cute phone customisations characters seemed to have in anime and cartoons when I was growing up. 😂😅)
    Vicariously healing my inner child by finally getting to have the phone I'd always wanted: Something that actually feels like Me! 💜

    Omg this reminds of those android launchers that completely customized the format and aesthetic of your phone 😭 I had a futuristic blue one that changed the animations and icons of all the apps 💀 this was around 2015/2016

    My jailbreaking story is we all required iPads for our first year at middle school, and one day on the train, one kid whipped out their jailbroken iPad with a moving background and rotating scrolling effect. We all thought it was awesome, but were too afraid to jailbreak our own iPads. This was about a month before the first IOS with moving backgrounds (but only a few pre-set options), but I really wish customizing the scroll effect became standard. It would overwhelm grandma, but amuse me for 5 minutes.

    ever since iOS 14 dropped, I've used the Shortcuts App and Color Widgets to customize my iPhone, it currently has an "Anime Lo Fi" aesthetic but it's gone through other themes in the almost 3 years since the update, I already have other themes in mind for when I wanna update it next

    Old mobile games were so good. It was like the cool browser flash games you could play at your computer, but on your phone. It really is a shame that most mobile games now are just cheaply made cash grabs. It was really cool when the mobile platform was being treated as an actual platform for games for a period of time. I miss Infinity Blade

    • @LikaLaruku

      2 worst mobile games I ever saw were Final Fantasy 1 & The Sims for like really old Nokia phones with tiny grayscale square screens that made the 3DS screen look generous.

    God, this reminds me of the phase I had of customising my old Android phone back in high school.
    I've always been on Android, and love it, because of the unlimited freedom. I can even run python scripts on it.
    I have used my dad's old iPhone, and hated iOS even more after that. It's so closed down. I understand why people loved jailbreaking.

    • @problemsfan4132
      @problemsfan4132 Před 10 měsíci

      my dad blew a bunch of money on iphones for the family after he got frustrated that my android wouldnt fully connect with smart cars. 🥲 i was semi-used to ios, i got an ipad a year ago so i could make digital art outside of my bedroom. but god damn. using that os for games and doodling is one thing, using that for anything more ambitious is another. all my androids felt like i truly owned those phones. iphone makes me feel like apple's watching me through my curtains.

    I would really love to watch a video about Teenage Kitchen, the lo-fi band put together by two Tumblr users! Their album is still up on Bandcamp, but I'm not sure what became of the band's blog. The guy on vocals was cub2, a popular user who eventually got cancelled for something I can't recall, and I don't know who the girl in the duo was. The album's cover art is by Anatola Howard (maroonraccoon), whose art, comics, and animations have remained popular online (she did the gay little animals go to brunch comic, lol)!
