Happy Wednesday everyone! I hope you're all having a nice week so far :) For anyone who celebrated July 4th yesterday I hope you had a nice time too. So this Friday I'll be uploading a deredere monster girl maid audio. I'll be working on the art for that later today so I'm really excited <3 

Next Friday I was thinking we could do an ocean themed character. I wanted to pick some weird ones so let's go! :D

I recently did some Lain fanart for an audio this Saturday on youtube and I thought of a question for us this week. What was your first experience on the internet like? Or to be more specific, maybe a site that you found yourself drawn to the most. 

Growing up I had two big ones: Myspace and Runescape (WoW came later haha!)

I don't remember much back then but my first internet interaction was watching my brother and his friend go on omegle for some shenanigans. Being the impressionable young one, I decided to go on it by myself one day like a big boy and it was certainly an experience. The websites I remember fondly from then would probably be YouTube and Newgrounds, with some Minecraft sprinkled here and there.

At least for when I was able to get onto the internet for myself and not specifically for school I would say the three website that made my adolescence was DeviantArt, YouTube, and OneManga (a defunct manga pirate site). I wasn't much an online gamer cause I was nervous about actually socializing as a kid.

My first memory of the internet was probably watching my sister download music from limewire (statute of limitations is probably up). My first personal experience was probably playing flash games on my mom's computer at work, I played on newgrounds, armor games, and kongregate. We didn't have halfway decent internet until I was in like 7th grade (one of the advantages of living in the middle on nowhere). I do remember when my friend was playing runescape when I went over to his house and I was like oh that's so cool, and then I never play again.

My very first experience I can remember with the internet was playing games on the PBS Kids website. Such a distant memory that I can’t even remember how old I was for certain, would’ve had to been younger than 7 though haha. Growing up my family never really had a computer or internet in the house so most of my childhood experience with computers was playing various flash games on the public library computers

Pretty sure my first memory of the internet is playing games on the nickelodeon website. It was mostly knock-offs of arcade games with nickelodeon skins. I also remember that my first computer was so bad that the games ran at 5 frames-per-second and were super easy as a result. I'm pretty sure I had more fun back then than I do now with a gaming pc and the ability to buy whatever game I want.

The only part of the 4th that was bad was my cat was scared of the fireworks, but it also meant she slept under my blanket all night which was cozy. My very first memory of the internet was going on it when I was a my babysitters as a kid but I don't remember anything that I looked at specifically during that time lol. My first real memories were playing games on a lot of sites that people have already mentioned; Nickelodeon, Armor Games, Kongregate, Cool Math Games, Cartoon Network, etc. I did also play a large amount of RuneScape with my cousin and watched YouTube videos. Although I mainly would watch Halo Music Videos (HMVs), however the term HMV has been hijacked by a certain NSFW term so I can't really use that anymore.

I was like 4, I don't remember sh#* XD So, I guess I'll give you a counter-question instead; what was MySpace like?

Crimson command

Ohhh this is a hard choice all the options are good. Well I spent 4th of July at anime expo it was the last day and I was sad to see it end but it was an absolute blast but now I can get some proper rest. Hmmm my first experience on the internet was probably watching a lot of AMV's and some Gmod made like film kinda things which I loved alot and still like but they have both become rare these days

dead to me

My vote is jellyfish :) Y'all got it covered with limewire and myspace and newgrounds (the degenerate tween stomping grounds). I played RuneScape as a kid, for a bit, but I got murdled in the wildies and cried. Never played again. If old-world mmos are on the table tho, I remember playing a loooot of a game called Ragnarok Online. It was really popular cuz WoW wasn't a thing yet and it was more anime than EverQuest. I haven't heard anyone talk about it at all since it died, I forgot about it completely for a long time. I liked it the most cuz I somehow got my classmates to play it too. It was nothing but stupid drama but big nostalgia. All the DotHack kids played that game. We made fun of all the Balmungs, they were everywhere.
