The fact that I work with IT with a niche skill set that is highly sought after in my industry. I was 10 in 1993, and at that point I didn’t even know how to turn on a computer.

What I did use a lot, on the other hand, was my NES. And 10 year old me would probably make a jaw drop induced crater upon seeing the kind of games I can play nowadays. Hell, by brand new laptop is fancy on its own.

There definitely was. I’ve seen it.

Yeah, I came here to air my hypothesis that lab hardware trends lag behind consumer computers by about 25-30 years.

I prefer the left road. The right one leads to a perception of being awkward AND stupid.

Yes. Water + spicy rocks. Everything else is solar power, which is also nuclear power, but with the spiciness in the sky instead.

Ok, any game that I’ve ever seen mentioned by someone online in my almost 30 years on the internet is going to strike most titles and leave only the ones that are really old, obscure, or both. So, here are a few that I like but can’t recall seeing mentioned online other than when specifically looking them up:

• Stunt Island. Airplane sim-like game by Disney studios. Early 90’s
• Rocking Cats. Awesome NES platformer that has a really fun take on the genre
• Armadillo Run. Physics puzzle that a friend of mine recommended in the mid 2000s.
• Sacrifice. Weird (the good kind of weird) first person strategy game I pirated once after finding it on an FTP. Fucking amazing game from somewhere in the early 2000s
• A.r.s.e.n.a.l. An RTS from the late 90s. Don’t send an attack without fuel trucks!

Working with a few of them. One moved here around 20 years ago, and one moved here 2 years ago. They’re both doing fine. The rest I don’t know very well.

Don’t bring your politics over here, though.

Meh, most of it will be challenged in court.

That’s one of the first things I noticed with his previous try; For all of Obamas flaws, it at least seemed that everything was thought through with lawyers in the loop to make sure the execitive orders had a reasonable chance of surviving a legal challenge.

And then this clown comes along and gives the impression that he handed someone a post-it that said “no moar muzleems!!!111one”
