.avi was a video file format like .mpg back in the day when we had to download our porn one file at a time, slowly. Though in this instance I'm assuming it's a fucking stupid shorthand for "avatar."

Oh, I'd forgotten about .avi's. Also haven't thought about limewire in about as long.

I too forgot all about .avi's. How did that happen?

Probably due to you not remembering them

[-] BreadOven@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

You're not wrong.

[-] BreadOven@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

The ravage of time I guess?

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 4 points 7 months ago

That's quite possible haha.

[-] BreadOven@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

That's a name I haven't heard in a long time.

The compression format or the failed rental format?

[-] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 months ago

Compression format, xvid replaced it before the hevc codecs were invented.

[-] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

I'm assuming you're correct
