First time I felt truly old is when Digital Foundry made retro review of Batman Arkham Origins. They only consider a game retro if it's ten years old.

You guys thinking what I'm thinking? HEIST
2002? Didn't they rename the Discman line to the CD Walkman around this time?
I remember seeing a Patreon exclusive video of a CD Walkman from 2003. I'm not sure if this is the first one to bear that name or not.
And the worst part is that I had the exact same model.
Maybe you belong to a museum too...
Except this was at a time when a 16gb SD card was like $100
I think a 512MB USB drive was about 30 bucks at the time. Not sure 16 GB SD cards even existed.
I used to own one of those!
warehouse staff have already removed the artifact for safe keeping and replaced it with a hastily-sourced replica.
mine is in a box in the basement. My dad found a CD with songs from a German kid's TV-Show (Die Sendung mit der Maus) from my childhood a few years back. Playing this one CD is the only job of that player now. Still does it though.
It reminds me when I was visiting my older brother in Spain and we went to a tech museum. There was a Sinclair Spectrum and me and my brother were thilled to see it. My niece was astonished fisrt then she was picking on us for hours non stop" you're a pair of dinosaurs" "you belong to a museum" "any plans for retirement" . When I told my wife she was like "well you're almost forty honey" ☠️
Fuck this brings back great memories. I used to supply my whole school with CDs and tapes of people's favourite music. I always threw in a couple of extra songs with a similar feel and style if there was extra space. I was the only one that had the tech so I was like a queen in my school until mp3 players came around.
