i remember when i was a little kid my old man had me do one of those magazine games where they printed the code for a game in a magazine, and you typed the code in yourself. pretty sure that was on a commodore 64. i don't remember the game, i want to say it was something to do with tanks. when i was a kid i had a lot of sleepwalking and sometimes night terrors too. some of the most vivid ones were about video games. when i was very young i remember watching my dad play a c64 game called Mountain King. in that game, on the bottom level, are these giant spiders that will chase you, and if they catch you they will wrap you in their web at first, and then they come back and devour you. one night i had a nightmare where i was being chased by a giant spider, and my legs started pumping because i thought i was running. well, my legs got wrapped up in the blankets so they couldn't move much, so in the nightmare this translated into the spider having caught me and started to wrap me up. of course, i start flailing in terror, and manage to roll myself off the bed and get even more tangled up, and now i think i'm really being wrapped up. my parents had to come wake me up because i was screaming hot bloody murder. i also remember when i was like 10 years old and we had a ~*color bubblejet*~!! printer which seemed like hot poo poo in 1995 and i wanted to print out some birthday invitations so my old man wrangled a VCR into his anyway post your kid computing stories or something idk

lol??? edit as to not bump: quote:At first, the combination of beef with cheese and tomatoes, which are sometimes used, may seem bizarre. If you reflect a bit, you'll understand that the combination is sound gastronomically. newreply.php fucked around with this message at 18:08 on Feb 10, 2015 |

the first internet forum i ever posted on was at annihilated.com, the then-premier fan site for Total Annihilation fans. one of the admins of that forum was Marco Arment also i remember when i was in high school there was some local discussion board where high schoolers would get into flamewars a whole lot to the point where it would cause irl fights at school. like we're talking year 2000 here.

An admin said: quote:The code has probably changed a lot since the last time I looked at it, but it is all original code. Last time I was on consistently, WhoaVerse got hit by a DDoS which lead Atko to implement a safeguard to prevent it from happening again. Apparently, Voat got mentioned in Reddit not too long ago and it survived the dreaded Hug of Death. I'm confident that Voat will do just fine with higher traffic, so long as donations are steady to keep the servers up. so it's no doubt a reddit rip-off visually, but the backend is different unless he's lying.

i remember running windows 95 on a 33mhz 486 with 8mb of RAM. my display options were 640x480x16, or 800x600xsplitting headache it was such a noticeable speed bump when my uncle gave me an engineering sample 486-DX2 at 66mhz, man. Earthworm Jim CD actually ran pretty smoothly after that!

When I first saw a Targa .tga photograph on that monitor, I was blown away. An actual photo on a computer! It was a bald eagle, I'll remember that forever.
