Tf is an avi
Short for avatar, which used to be the name for profile pictures
But... there's no i?
the schwa in /'a-və-ˌtär/ is a close homophone of /ɪ/ combined with English's habit of forming diminutives using /ɪː/
Sure there is. It's basically the only thing in the picture!
Along with the frog in the lift, of course
Avatai my brother.
It’s a great thing we don’t type those extra three characters ong frfr
I still call them buddy icons when I’m not thinking :facepalm:
.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
You're not wrong.
The ravage of time I guess?
Well do you at least remember DviX?
DivX, no?
That's quite possible haha.
That's a name I haven't heard in a long time.
The compression format or the failed rental format?
Compression format, xvid replaced it before the hevc codecs were invented.
Yes!
I'm assuming you're correct
Audio-video interleave, an early video container that sucked because you couldn't play it unless it was complete, making it unfit for streaming. The only use I can think of nowadays is to generate an NTSC MPEG-2 file that even early DVD+USB players will play, for testing composite video equipment.
I think that's a typo but otherwise it's a file format
Such dms
Much frog
