Options much like the ones in those mobile ads

[–] Anonymousllama@lemmy.world 58 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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

[–] Wanderer@lemm.ee 33 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Society peaked.

Absolute foresight from the matrix to say 1999 was as good as it gets.

Send me back.

[–] SchizoDenji@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

And here you are whinging.

Nah people still joke about cheating. They love those sexual drama so it's fine.

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 56 points 2 years ago (1 children)

TIL Brazzers has been in gaming advertising since at least 2002.

[–] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 51 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Video game ads used to be wild.

[–] loutr@sh.itjust.works 23 points 2 years ago

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

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years 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!

[–] Sylver@lemmy.world 33 points 2 years 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.

[–] shukufuku@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago

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

[–] HairHeel@programming.dev 6 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Thavron@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

"Date" instead of sleep. Slightly tamer.

[–] Thavron@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] VonCesaw@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years 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.--

[–] Shush@reddthat.com 6 points 2 years ago

So it's like in real life!

[–] Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] bitsplease@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

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

[–] harpuajim@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Fuck I loved the Sims 2

[–] PatFussy@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Just like real life wow

Always join

[–] Norgur@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

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