That thing you could’ve sworn you existed, remembered existed and how it has now turned into a great wonder of a chase to acquire again after so long. What is that thing for you?
Mine is discovering what music was played during an old internet radio show I still listen to was. The episodes I’m listening to are 21 years old now and for years I wondered what specific tracks were played on that show that I so want copies of. In one of the episodes, the host mentions that the backing music is from Digitally Imported now known as DI.FM.
However, that doesn’t do me any good since newer music is played now on that platform and with no hint or source telling me what tracks were played on that show in show notes or even word of mouth, I’ve no hope in tracking them down. So for so long, I’ve had to listen to this show’s episodes almost religiously, just because of the music that was played.
And my only hope now is tinkering with audio tools so I can figure a way to rip out the parts where the hosts are talking so it is just the music, then go around online asking people who’re more expert on the genre than I am to tell me, then find them and download them.

There was… I think it was an archive of old forum threads from a forum I don’t remember what it’s called. I stumbled onto it googling for DS action replay codes waaay back on the late 2000s. I remember a thread with a bunch of animal cross wild world codes, including one that supposedly let you walk on water. And codes for sm64 DS. One of which I remember was supposed to set your star count to 255 but using it permanently crashed the game when launching the save file.
There were also different threads such as a general one on things in games that scared you. There were some obvious things like the piano from sm64 and I thiiiink someone mentioned the redead from ocarina of time.
It’s oddly specific but I would love to go back and read through these again for nostalgia purposes. But I haven’t been able to find it.
