I had to explain to people what Starsiege: Tribes was like to people a couple times recently, and I am pretty sure I developed some liver spots describing LPBs.
As the years pass, I find myself enjoying more and more Big Dog t-shirts. Is it ironic enjoyment? I sure as hell hope so
Did you hurt yourself describing skiing or did you stop before then?
Oh yeah we covered skiing for sure.
"It was a bug in movement that they decided was just way more fun than having it work as intended, and then it became one of the defining features of the game! Combine that with jetpacks and the gun that shot exploding CDs with a slow-motion hit scan and you have yourself a hit!"
Sounds like I'm sundowning while looking at the title screen of Apex Legends or something but whatever

First game I bought with my own money was probably Half-Life 2. I didn't have a powerful enough computer to play it on at the time, but by gosh I had the game.
I think I turned 37 this year. A few months ago I started doing all the things I'd been putting off cause I was feeling a little crappy for a bit too long. Morning work out, eating way better, veggies with lunch and shit. All the good stuff. Also trying to just shift my mental state way from giving the negativity any brain space.
I don't remember the last time I felt this fuckin' good.

I feel pretty fine at 37. Of course, my buddy who is 40 got in amazing shape the past year. We had an adult field day with lots of water challenges and when he took his shirt off i was like damn. He would look good for someone half his age. Peak physical well being is off set by my tremendously bad mental health. Honestly not sure which is worse. I guess you can be crippled and happy though.

Apex doesn't hit quite the same, but then that game does a mix of good combat at all ranges and very good parkour. Plus one character with a decent jetpack that can get some pretty good speed going (though the real speed king is the grappling hook robot)
Like, there are games that hit better in movement and a couple games with better gunplay, but Apex and Titanfall 2 really nailed getting both just right
I honestly don’t care about my old body, my life is such a mess that the fact that my body is shit in new ways (since it was shit when I was young too) doesn’t really concern me
Last friday at lunchtime, someone put a youtube of a deepfake of Frank Sinatra singing a lounge version of Gangsta's Paradise up on the lab tv screen. Our 25y/o intern said "I really like Sinatra, but I've never heard this one!"
When I suggested that even Sinatra's twilight career still somewhat predated the rise of Coolio, and so we might deduce this to be in fact, a computer generated lie, he said doubtfully, "I don't know, there were definitely gangsters in the 50s."
I don't know if it made me feel old exactly but it did make me worry a bit about the youth.
I am awake at 6:30 am having spent the last 7 hours in bed with the worst night of restless leg in my life. At no point over that 7 hours could I get my right knee to not feel like "hey, you should really hyperextend me to relieve this" only to have no amount do anything to said feeling. It's the fucking worst. Like having an intense craving for orange juice, but in your knee.
Stretch both legs (but not too much or I'll pull a hamstring while I'm laying), roll to my other side, fluff the top pillow, sandwich other hand precisely between pillows and just underneath my head (but not too much or it'll fall asleep), hyperextend other knee into my chest
Repeat every five to twenty minutes for two to four hours every single night for the rest of my life
I realized a few months ago that I hadn't gotten restless legs in awhile (or restless lower back which is just the worst). I think that change coincides with us getting a sweet new memory foam mattress. Worth checking it maybe?
Spoke too fucking soon aghhh

Restless leg can be a symptom of varicose veins. Which I got with fucking 29. The doctor literally said I came in for a visit 10 years too early.
there are many things I side with northern England on over southern England, but let's be real Blur was always better than Oasis in that particular culture war
Blur rules and I’m so mad that I only recently realized that’s the dude from The Gorillaz too.
if you want a real Albarn treat, The Good The Bad & The Queen is a very funky little album that's kind of like a more analogue version of the slower and more meditative tracks from Demon Days, Plastic Beach, and D-Sides era Gorillaz. some absolutely gorgeous arrangements by Paul Simonon in there too

Shit! That sounds awesome. I’m going to listen to it today

High school was full of so many pointless arguments as a Northerner that preferred Blur.
BEcause I was and still am a shit I kept telling people that I preferred the Mike Flowers "original" version of Wonderwall:
First game I bought, I spent my allowance to buy River Raid on Cassette, for the Atari 800 XL, and I was blow away by it, I wore that cassette thin from playing it all the time. But to be fair, I only had 4 or 5 games for that computer.
Yes, with a quick verbal "boom." You take a man's peko, you deny him his dab, all that is left is to rise up and tear down the walls of Jericho with a ".....not!" -TexiKen

I paid for it on layaway over the course of like 3 months, having no idea that you needed a separate hardware adapter to actually play it
I have never been more heartbroken
I don't remember the last time I felt this fuckin' good.
Okay, just had to check.

I traded my copy of Mario RPG to some kid at school for 18 dollars in change and a copy of Frantic Flea
Uh-oh I accidentally deleted my signature. Uh-oh!!
This was the first CD I bought myself.
Everyone had heard Song 2 on the radio and nothing else by them so no one believed that wasn't why I bought it.
Just get the kids to go play https://store.steampowered.com/app/439370/Midair/ instead of trying to somehow convey Tribes in words
Apparently there's a Midair 2 in early release?

so blind to see
Which is to say, like crap.

Pretty accurate tbh

The veins are gone as is the restless leg.
It's not the first album I bought, that was Achtung Baby on tape.
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better

I keep mine at 75, a good stiff bed for my back.
But some nights it will just deflate for no reason and I’ll wake up in a mattress ditch with my back screaming.
That was this morning again…
