The feeling of exploration and discovery in video games. From trading secrets on the playground in Mario Bros. to exploring and mapping out a dungeon in EverQuest. Sure the internet existed then, but it eventually became so much more ubiquitous and games are now completely known sometimes before they even release. -u/Elrim208

Listening Parties I was a teen in the late seventies. My buds and I would get together on Sunday afternoons, smoke a little bud, and each bring three albums. We would then listen to music until dark and hear things that weren't in our collections. During these listening parties, I first heard a lot of stuff people call classics today. I was a big fan of Yes and ELP. David was into Rush, Pink Floyd, and Jethro Tull. Joey was into Black Sabbath, Van Halen, and the Doors. Joey's older brother had Camal, Can, and some stuff I don't remember other than it was cool. I don't think we ever had a name for this. We all got to hear each other's favorite music and hang out. It was a lot of fun, and I miss it. I can't imagine such a thing surviving the internet age, but something cool has been lost. -u/jamessavik
