Welcome to /c/Tumblr

All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed

This isn’t your personal call-out post.

No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited

Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts

Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:

No spam or scams
No porn or sexually explicit content
No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

My parents were born in the late 60s and played the very first video games like pong and space invaders in the 70s. Gaming back then was more of a novelty toy and not so widespread as it is today.

Very true. My son was playing some Atari 2600 games on our Steam Deck and finally stopped to ask me, "Did people actually have fun with these games?"

Eh, not really! They were indeed a novelty, and usually got pretty boring fairly quickly...

I mean, I did! Having literally no other options makes a big difference!

Fair. I was one of the nerds who would still rather read a book or watch Star Trek reruns.

Atari games got so bad that it killed off the video game industry until Nintendo came along with a licensing program with standards.
