Saw your post in The Last Poster Wins. The new appearance for the forums and Nexusmod appeared Oct 23, 2023. I am still exploring to find out what they've changed.
Seeing the CRT monitor in your Avatar again brought back my memory of when all monitors and Televisions were Cathode Ray Tubes.
Old, I am! Old age releases me from pretending to be a mature adult. Vampire what?

Ah yes! I remember the whirring motor for play, rewind, and fast forward. Quietly whirring as the VHS tape was going through the wheels sliding passed the visual and sound readers.
And Occasionally the tape got wrinkled and jammed inside the box. Ruined a lot of recorded and purchased movies because I forgot to run the cleaning VCR in it once a month.
Your wife must remind you to clean behind your ears and inside them too so you have really good hearing! ;- } ;- } -
Ah yes, the dreaded tape spaghetti, having to pull it all out of the VCR after it wraps all over the mechanism is pain, I unfortunately had to do that once. And if the tape only has a small portion of it damaged you get jumpscares, it all plays fine until it reaches the damaged part and then the video goes static while the sound of demonic screeching plays in the background. I hated those kinds of tapes, you watch Tom & Jerry then all of a sudden you get the screams of a billion tortured souls for a few seconds before the cartoon resumes.
And my hearing problem only extends to things I don't want to do, my brain erases all memories of me ever hearing about it as soon as she's done speaking which is what happened with the storage room. I also sometimes "forget" because after a few attempts to get me to do it she switches tactics from acting angry to enticing me with a certain carnal act we rarely perform and I find that to be really good motivation.
