Oh I know I am not ‘kids these days’, I am very aware of that, but I am also aware that I was barely alive for any of the 80s, thus missed the uh… cultural heyday of Teddy Ruxpin.
… Which I am now realizing I used the wrong name for in my original post, likely because this image is the first time I’m ever actually read its correct name, now that I am endowed with the ability to read, lol.
I’d only ever heard of and seen them as a very young kid, in commericals or in a mall once or something like that.
On that note: Hey, remember malls? Remember when they weren’t nearly all sad, dying monuments to the failure of society in general?
That was neat.
Fuck, I wonder if arcades even really still exist at all…
Maybe it will end up becoming a sensible business model to try and run a 90s South Korean/Japanese style netcafe in the US, the way computer hardware costs are going…
