My bifocal glasses. They were donated to me last year, and some fucking how, they're a perfect match for my prescription, and have absolutely no scratches.
They were manufactured in 1988, literally 2 years before I ever got my first pair of glasses.
I didn't exactly sign up for big ass thick bifocals, but the last prescription glasses I paid for cost me $217, are scratched to hell and back, and the frames split at the nose bridge.
They're big, they're ugly, but they just fucking work, even clearer than my most recent actual prescriptions.
You can't complain when it's free!

Probably this ball of water and dirt we're living on.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]For me it's definitely a game! I'll still boot up an emulator to play super metroid on SNES, and that game is 31 years old. I can't think of anything else I regularly do or enjoy that's quite that old, but I could definitely be forgetting something.
Edit: upon more thought chess is way older and I at least do a puzzle daily so maybe that counts. I don't play actual games that often though.

A manual transmission. It'll be a sad day when I have to go automatic/EV

I just bought my first manual transmission car! I'm loving it so far, definitely hold out as long as you can.

Back in 1989 I had a co-worker friend who went to Jamaica and returned with a custom coffee mug with my name on it. It wasn't a cheap printed one, the letters were formed out of clay. I don't use it every day anymore, because I'm afraid it will break, but it's in my rotation. It reminds me that some people used to care something about me, for some reason.

My apartment. I don't like it very much but it was built in 1928. So "enjoy" is a stretch but I use it daily.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I've got a trumpet (YTR-6320) from the 80s I bought used a bit back. It looks beat to hell but it just sings! It's as light as a feather aswell- I can play with one hand in my pocket.
Media-wise, I love some old 1930s swing and jazz tracks. It's super interesting to hear how similar some songs are to modern music.

That's freaking awesome! Trumpet is so cool, I have one that I wanna learn to play someday.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Hell yeah! It's a tough instrument, but it's the most expressive one (in my opinion). Trumpets always sound like the person who's playing them, almost like an extension of your personality. I think there's something wonderful about that.

My PS2. Thanks to Homebrew and some gadgets I bought I can to play a ton of games in their original hardware and it's been awesome.

Oh wonderful, I'm glad to hear it. Don't suppose you have any tips for navigating her incessant quilting talk while you're here?

A handmade ceramic mug I bought when I first got out of homelessness. Probably about fifteen years old now. It's white with a flared base and motif of a bison on it.

It's the game of Go. Also known as baduk, weiqi, igo. It's a board game known for being pretty old.

To put joking aside, I have been trying to make a sort of quilt pattern to add to one of my sweatshirts, but I'm not good at sewing and don't have a sewing machine. So I would probably listen to her talk about quilts and how to make the edges look good.

Edith Piaf never gets old
