A few weeks ago it came up in some thread (maybe AIRPOWER/Cold War Thread) that the US military uses mIRC, they have etiquette guidelines for how to call in airstrikes and they're not allowed to slap anyone with trouts.  What is goldie.exe?

If I have learned anything during my time on these gay forums it's that autistic people loving LOVE degaussing and taking about how they miss degaussing and attempting to translate the degaussing noise their monitor made into text. KROOOOOOOONNGGGGGGGGGGG click

Mid 90s, it was probably one of the first blogs ever, way before they were popular Oh my god YES I read that loving thing, as well as his other blog "life of a 41 year old virgin" or somesuch, google up "losernet" and yeah - it's still online! Having assburgers in 1995 sucked pretty bad because you didn't have any fanboyism subculture to relate with. Ole lavahead would have had a ball in 2015 along with bronies.

drunk asian neighbor posted:Wait what? I can't find any references, but I distinctly remember there being stories going around CompuServe about him getting banned a couple of times before sorting it out. I mostly used CompuServe to get Doom wads, and given the Reznor-Doom connection, that's probably where I heard it.

Does anyone remember the good ol days of Craigslist before your local police department learned about it? You could have 2 dozen guys over to your apartment to poz your neg hole in an afternoon without getting arrested for indecency.

Wait, so is this ironic or something, I am confused. I started reading the Loser Upstairs thing and so far it sounds like the guy upstairs watches movies, eats pizza, talks to people on the phone, and has friends over. Meanwhile the guy downstairs seems to spend every second in his apartment chronicling what the "loser" upstairs is doing. I've only read like the first ten things though, so maybe it gets worse?

Buying a math co-processor to run falcon 3.0 on my 386 and wishing I could afford a 486/33mhz to play it in awesome mode ("486 - SUPER Hot!") Getting pissed every time Mad Kirfa would burn an entire assault rifle mag killing a rat or some poo poo in Wasteland. Playing Starflight on dual 5.25" floppies and getting irate when mom would clean up my desk and move my code wheel. Lotus 1-2-3. I used the slash codes in Excel after it took over as the killer app forever. Running WordPerfect on OS/2 Warp after using the compatibility diskette to "make it run better". Installing Windows 95 (with the haunted house Plus pack theme) from 35 floppies because OS/2 Warp sucked so much rear end. 4mbit token ring and getting to upgrade to 16mbit. DikuMUD

The author is projecting his immense butthurt and jealousy onto the (normal) guy upstairs. It's no accident that his other - and much better - blog is called the life of a 41 year old virgin.

I remember pirating games for the Commodore 64, and being pretty SOL sometimes with no manuals or any way to figure out basic things in a game. We have some 2.5D flying game where you started off in a closed hangar, and could not figure out how to the get the doors to open. A friend of my brother's said "put something heavy on 6" and this actually worked, even though it was awkward finding something that would hold the key down while not pushing all the keys around it. We eventually figured out you had to hit F6 to open the hangar doors.

Just a few weeks ago I was struggling to find something I hadn't used for a long time in the menus and wanted to use slash codes  quote:Running WordPerfect on OS/2 Warp after using the compatibility diskette to "make it run better". I don't know exactly what this is but it sounds pretty bad, my condolences. I never used OS/2 back in the day, it sounded way better than Windows, except for the fact that everything was designed for Windows (or still for DOS). Lucky for me I spent all my time learning everything about Windows rather than something that died, I guess.

At the McDonald's I worked at in college, I remember my manager telling me that his friend worked for Hewlett Packard and that he told him that there would never be a CD drive that would run any faster than 4x because any faster and the CD would melt. I also remember playing the first Leisure Suit Larry on an amber monochrome monitor, and having all the answers memorized for the questions it would ask you in the beginning to verify that you were 18.

XMS and EMS memory. I made an autoexec.bat with a choice of five or six different variations of memory profiles (DOS=HIGH or EMM386) so I could play different games. Then along came QEMM386 and solved most of my problems. That and interrupt conflicts are two things I do not miss.

I remember getting freaked out when you go into Abu Simbel and a statue of Ramses II with glowing eyes yells at you about some poo poo. Was it Memphis Math Treasure of the Tombs?
