I'm glad you found some positive enjoyment out of it. Thinking about my other comment about Halo LAN multiplayer, I think the key thing that we loved about these experiences was that we spent time with our loved ones and friends, and in particular were joking and laughing with them.
I couldn't figure out if that series of pictures was suggesting that she got fat, or she got skinny, or what. It's like seeing one of those hallucinatory transvestigation posts.
Most of the mainstream TV of that era was astonishingly shitty and mean-spirited. I was really into watching 24, which in retrospect is one of the worst television shows to ever shoot out of a cathode ray tube.
The single player campaign is some of the lowest pulp military sci fi out there. But the couch multiplayer was top-notch, and brought me together with a lot of other friends in-person.

There's a golf course right next to the Furnace Creek Visitor Center, where everyone is taking their Instagram photos next to the hottest temperatures ever recorded.
These kinds of books with giant pages stuffed full of illustrations and text about interesting stuff were absolutely crucial to my own development.
