This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

This part sucked real bad.

Back in those days, if you wanted to play some games imported from Japan, they would check that you had your region and language settings set to Japanese as a sort of soft-region locking.

I had to spend an extra $50 for ultimate to make it so that I could play my shitty anime games in the late 2000s.

I remember using software that let you play those with a Japanese locale
