Dollar Tree being only a single dollar on everything.

I didn't know Dollar Tree existed further back in the years like the 80s. But, I didn't discover the store until like late 2000s. That store was a godsend for my then mostly broke ass. Sure the quality of products could've been better and the food selection could've been better, but they were there for me and others who're strapped on budgets.

And it was a good 16 years while that lasted. It is a little annoying at times to shop there and know it is no different than Dollar General and Family Dollar. But it could've been worse.

Playing shitty RPG maker ripoffs, Kongregate...most of the time. Being an Indie dev was so easy 10 years ago, just pick up action script 3, and make a flappy bird.

I mean, the Climax was a pretty sweet geared locomotive for usecases where you just need to haul a ton of stuff over rough track with one very light engine. Now they just use trucks and call it a day

Analog television. Sure it may have been a bit grainy and staticy when the signal was weak, but the video wouldn't get all blocky and outright freeze up, you could keep watching your show and not miss anything.
