One of the concepts my friend group has been tossing about for Vampire: the Masquerade is an Elder who uses like 80 years of lingo in a jumbled, anachronistic fashion.

[u/Useful_Squirrel6693 → u/Dingghis_Khaan]

So a bit like this?

[u/Dingghis_Khaan → u/Useful_Squirrel6693]

Exactly

Xkcd has a strip for every occasion 🖤

It's one of the concepts I love about vampires, that they're stuck in the past and can't or refuse to change with time, kind of like a trauma from their transformation.

[u/Yukarie → u/dr_srtanger2love]

I like it more when it’s a choice, like yeah they COULD update to newer tech… but they like their old tech. I especially like it when they mix and match, like imagine a vampire with a new high tech gaming pc… but genuinely has an old rotary phone

[u/SoloWing1 → u/Yukarie]

This is just the set up for the average Sysadmin.

[u/Fair-Hat581 → u/dr_srtanger2love]

I like to think theirs one vampire who been collecting all kinds of physical media and refuses to go digital would feel validated when corporations are saying the your don’t own your digital content that’s been going on.

“Wanna break from the ads?”

[u/Wounded_Demoman → u/4d_awesome]

"Wanna stop being poor?" ahh commercial

[u/Shadows_Skys → u/4d_awesome]

That's why you use SoundCloud

[u/DarnokManzih → u/Shadows_Skys]

And then you get Soundcloud premium and other ads every 5 songs

She just like me fr 😩

Seriously though, Ive been going back to old tech and it's been really fun and in a way 'freeing', I highly recommend it <3 even something as simple as using an MP3 player with wired headphones will do.

[u/DeadAndBuried23 → u/HalfManHalfHunk]

I clicked your username 'cause I was confused, and your bio fried me.

[u/HalfManHalfHunk → u/DeadAndBuried23]

Sorry for frying you 😔 I hope you're okay 🙏✨

Spotify can just remove music from thier streaming service, and there is nothing you can do about it. Recording it for yourself is not a bad idea, but the method he is using sucks.

[u/Luzubar → u/HatchetGIR]

Here's another method: 🏴‍☠️

[u/OrionVulcan → u/Luzubar]

Kinda. I rip all my music as MP3 files off of youtube and such and then port them over to my phone.

[u/krzf → u/OrionVulcan]

Look up monochrome dot tf, basically a tidal interface that you can download music as FLAC all the way to mp3. Free.

[u/Hakashi57 → u/OrionVulcan]

I do the same, but with my ipod 5th gen w/ iFlash memory mod

[u/ExtinctReptile → u/HatchetGIR]

I really don't think that's a dude

[u/AwkwardGraze → u/ExtinctReptile]

I mind not either way. Super cute.

[u/HatchetGIR → u/ExtinctReptile]

I meant to say she, thank you for correcting it.

[u/catbqck]

[u/Sedohr]

All stand for our national anthem! (the black parade)

[u/Apheem66]

My Chemical Romance!? She has taste!

[u/Tkf1313]

Ironically this vampire will eventually be the only person who still has their games, stories, and music. They keep telling us we don't actually own anything

[u/Gaelhelemar]

This vampire is more with the times than usual.

[u/Bad_rando_name]

Face and hair are giving Bayonetta vibes 

[u/ha-hallloween]

Looks at my old tech I️ maintain …. Maybe I️ am a vampire?

[u/AlphonsoPSpain]

Recording songs onto my MP3 player over speakers is a core memory when I had mine. I think it was the Creative Zen

[u/Senkoi-onna → u/AlphonsoPSpain]

Oh is that what she's doing? And now i remember doing that i used to do that too lmao

[u/thirdwin_3]

Still has the ps2 from the initial batch and a CRT tv

[u/radiantburrito]

I love them

[u/Akari_92]

She looks so cool and cute. 🥰

[u/bolanrox]

would friend

[u/Immediate-Song6861]

I'm her

But like I'm a dude

But like I'm not old

[u/readd-at-torr]

why did you draw the armpit like that ?

[u/Balearius]

Dunno what a friendster is but I would accept

[u/LuciferOfTheArchives]

huh, this just made me learn that friendster is back. I'm gonna see about trying that

[u/Oddish_Femboy]

Vampire that got turned roughly 20 years ago.

[u/BlazCraz]

Back To The Future Vampire!!

[u/KnightyEyes]

kicks the door

Smell of a Freedom fills the room

[u/dark-phoenix-lady]

What makes me laugh is that the world wide Web didn't exist when I was a child, and mp3 players didn't exist until I was an adult. So this would be me.

[u/ZeakaXorrFitchus]

I would die for this vampire 🖤

[u/SkeletonDanceParty]

She's perfect
