An image of a simple website -- red text on a black background. It's a post asking if Fink, lead singer of The Network, and Green Day lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong are "one and the same." The writer compares their voices in an inaccessible Flash Player video and compares two photos of the performers.

I remember there being entire websites devoted to "outing" this secret, even some that went as far as to compare the way Fink (the lead singer) wears his guitar.

I was able to find an Angelfire page about the subject -- I'm sure I could find more with digging.

Also, RIP Flash Player.

Very specific internet fandom moment of the 2000s:

Back in the day, Green Day really had us "fooled" that they weren't The Network -- a new wave-inspired side project. I had no way to listen to any of their music, so I was always mystified by this niche mystery.

As soon as you hear them, though...

This is going to be so interesting to follow. It reminds me of the advent of the music streaming age, where we started looking at album streams over physical album sales.

The positivity here is something I'll never get used to. I really hope it stays this way.

So, as some of you may know, GOG announced Dreamlist. It's basically a list of old games that you can vote to bring back next.

If you can't find a game on the list, you can add it yourself.

It's a long shot, but hey, can't hurt to try, right?

One of my FAVORITE series on the PS1. I have no idea why they haven't tried to revive this format in any way.

The closest any game has come to emulating that feeling for me is the now-delisted Sega Genesis Classics. I just wish it would let me walk around the room/house. ๐Ÿฅบ

The level of excitement and wonder that filled me bc of this ad can never be replicated.

Most unforgettable Christmas ever -- PS2, Final Fantasy X, and Kingdom Hearts...

...and no memory card.

The openings of both games are practically part of my DNA.

Thursday Boot Company! Love their shoes. They're comfortable, stylish, and long-lasting. I actually want to get a pair of their sneakers soon.

If you're looking for comfort and breathability -- Skechers.

HeyDudes are horrible -poor build quality and I've never had a pair last longer than 6 months.

Absolute classic.

Sick OST, great animation, fun mechanics...

It stands toe-to-toe with the best fighters in this generation.

100% factual.

I regret not finishing Before the Storm and LiS2 back when this one was more fresh in my mind. I feel like I'd have to start from the first again if I went back, and that keeps me from playing True Colors AND Double Exposure. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

This is actually surreal.

I remember exactly where I was when I played the first episode on release. I downloaded the demo, and I immediately had to unlock the rest of it.

Back then, I had to download games at 2am (fellow HughesNet users know the struggle), and I didn't sleep until it was over.

I feel like some people need that ego boost to still feel like they're desirable, even in a non-romantic context.

Very odd behavior tbh.

It's a new week, #gamingsky.

What are we playing?

Jumping between Minecraft, DBD, and Tekken 8 atm and still chipping away at Fortnite's current battle pass.

I'm also wondering if my "care" for comics was just wish fulfillment for my younger self that craved a comic store to begin with.

I wish more people had a genuine love for the art form, and I wish they were available for purchase at more places.

I love supporting local businesses over buying from distributors, and now that's a lot harder. I also have limited space to store physical comics, so I'm torn between completing some of my runs or just subbing to a service to read comics.

Just spent the last hour going through my final pull from my comics shop that I bought months ago. It was bittersweet to see so many stories I had to drop because my only comic store closed.

Having a comic book store was a dream I had for years. Feeling a lot of contradicting emotions about it atm.

I'm a PlayStation fiend who loves Xbox, and my true calling is emulation.

Looking forward to meeting some cool people here. ๐Ÿ˜€
