As a kid I was kind of obsessed with recording things. I was into multimedia endeavors in a big way. I had my tape recorders, my family’s giant camcorder, and some fairly primitive software to play around with as well.
The upside of this is that I have a TON of preserved record of my childhood with all of my tastes and attempts at expression.
The downside of this is that I have a TON of preserved record of my childhood with all of my tastes and attempts at expression.
Most of it is, how do I put this, the cringiest cringe that ever cringed. And I’m genuinely torn between burning it all in a fire and backing it up forever because of my previously mentioned obsession with all things multimedia.
Maybe I should just dump it all on r/blunderyears like these Reddit people did.
