That's wonderful! Whereabouts are you traveling, if you don't mind me asking? I was mostly in the north around Trujillo, but I spent a couple weeks in Lima once, and a month in and around Cusco when I made the trek to Aguas Calientes, then Machu Picchu.
I've been itching to get back to Perú ever since!
I lived in Perú for a while on a study abroad/student exchange program and can confirm -- you can't swing a cat in Perú without hitting some archeological wonder, and it's not just Lima. I spent some time in the northern deserts, up near Chiclayo and Lambayeque, and visited so many fantastic Moche sites that they almost started to get boring by the end.
What stuck with me the most, however, as walking through the sand dunes and literally tripping over ancient pottery that was just sitting in the sand, partially exposed. Ceramics were everywhere, and it was otherwise untouched but also unprotected. Absolutely blew my mind as an American to whom anything older than 200 years feels ancient and rare.
Wonderful country, Perú. I highly recommend a visit to anyone who has the opportunity to go. There's so much more than Machu Picchu (although that site is a stunning must-see, ofc).
They're right that I grabbed a screen of the map from Halo 2 though, tbf! I was in a haze of nostalgia and got wreckless. 😂
Jesus, I forgot how simple it looked in CE! 2001 wasn't THAT long ago, right?
...right? 😅
Dude I was just thinking that if there was an OldNeopets (a la Runescape and 2007Scape) I would be all over that shit, possibly to my own detriment.
There was definitely some well-founded speculation for a while that Disenchantment would get the axe because Netflix was canning so many other series, but apparently it survived! So now we get more Futurama AND more Disenchantment!
Making my shop and pet pages taught me HTML, no cap. Then I grew up to become a web developer.
Oh man, the feeling of grinding those games for weeks to save up for my first paintbrush and then FINALLY BUYING THE PAINTBRUSH... just... euphoric.
Oh man, I bet that was the shit. I couldn't ever get ANYTHING from that goddamn money tree!
I was all about Tiki Tombola.
