stylized //gs , it was a flipper baby that had a full 6502 system on a chip to run the old // stuff, but the 16-bit GS-OS side was unique

I had sex with a 32-year old at 16. SA is run by SJWs. Liking 16-year olds is not pedophilia. I hate your pronoun. I like young boys. I donate to the NAACP and probably NAMBLA too.
I spent the 80s and early 90s stuck with just a nintendo. gently caress you 80s computer havers.

we had a computer with a green-on-black screen whose manufacturer I don't even remember

my dad taught me Thoroughbred BASIC and then showed me a snake-like game and I was upset because I couldn't understand why he wasn't able to show me the source code for the game :(
