Man, according to my calculations (which are very flawed), next month will mark my 20th year of video gaming.
Wow, what an adventure that's been.
20 years of gaming.
i should probably make something related to that...
Maybe make a thread in G&T?
Ooo! I get that sometime next year I think
There should be a pin or a badge, like in Girlscouts
Wait, what? Man, you started young.
i got my first console at my 6th birthday. i got the Donkey Kong Country SNES bundle + Mario Paint.
i mean, i had played video games before that, but that's when my collection really started.
I should really do a big effortpost about my early gaming memories.
i have so much i'd like to say about games like Donkey Kong Country and Chrono Trigger...
I can't really remember not playing games
I think I was put in front of a keyboard as soon as I could hold myself upright
Many of my early memories involve games like PuttPutt and Reader Rabbit and some kind of typing language game with a color coded keyboard. Some of my favourite memories of my little brothers are squishing the three of us into a single office chair and each controlling a different part of the keyboard because none of us had big enough hands to play games on our own
29 years since my first memory of gaming on a commodore 64.
Youngins.
Is there a list of Commodore 64 games with screenshots? There was one game I played with my Dad that was a sort of Donkey Kong knock-off. You started at the bottom of a structure and climbed ladders to get to the top, dodging tumbleweeds along the way.

Oregon Trail was something I played a bunch in school.
Oh what was the gorilla game that was in ms-dos? Like built in.
Use to play that with friends.
I mean not counting my NES and commodore time.

I found a machine with a floppy drive at work some months ago. I installed DOS on it just to play it. :rotate:
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
I like to think my relatively low profile prevents people from forming a clear picture of what an asshole I was when I was posting in high school/early college.
Who the fuck needs a cable modem in 2015? You get them from your ISP!
For a low, low rental fee of $8 per month.
Buying one pays for its self in 6 months, you can carry it from ISP to ISP for minimal downtime if you're lucky enough to live in a market with competition, and the quality of the equipment will be much higher,
Donkey Kong on
Thousands of hot, local singles are waiting to play at bubbulon.com.
((If I had had access to quality tech education in childhood I would most certainly be a big bux frogrammer right now))
(((I'd probably also be an insufferable Libertarian/MRA-style asshat so I'm not too sad about it.)))

Someone keeps tagging the sidewalks with "All Lives Matter!" By my apartment.
Stop! Just... stop....
Hillary Clinton threw out an "All lives matter" during a speech about Charleston to a black congregation.
She apparently did not know the recent history of the term.
how recent are we talking? Because jesus fuck it must be exhausting to be the people in charge on staying on top of everything you're allowed write into a president's speech

"All lives matter" has been a prominent way to undercut "Black lives matter" since, what, Ferguson?
I made a game! Hotline Maui. Requires mouse and keyboard.

About as old as the whole #BlackLivesMatter thing
it was a reactionary hashtag started by racists and adopted by other racists and by ignorant people who don't think of themselves as racists but are basically saying something really ignorant without really thinking it through
Will just any modem work with a dsl connection? Verizon said no on the phone but they're a garbage company.

I paid $70 for my modem in August of 2013 and have been using it since.
Plus, when you move to an area and get a different ISP, you don't have to have a technician come to your place to set it up. You can just plug it it and activate it over the phone/online and get same-day internet.

Definitely look up which modems are compatible with which company. Also, some third-party modems are more of a hassle to connect than the ISP's, but IMO it's worth it.

Keeping up with the things that really matter, like twitter hashtags...
Honestly, I'd be more concerned if a candidate was apprised of twitter hashtag minutiae, because they should be doing their actual jobs, which is hard and time consuming to do properly.

There's a lot to say about it's role in my childhood.

I'd love it if you took a look at my art and my PATREON!
Has woot featured anything worth buying in years?
we have a home movie from before I could talk where I'm playing mario
I won't say I played well and I started talking late but I generally consider this as evidence of my prodigy status
@nexuscrawler why wouldn't I? It's a Lock and Co. trilby. It is a refined head covering for a man of refinement.
I was just messing, there's a million things to say I'm sure, especially about how it impacted you.
would be cool to read

So why would you be wearing it?

Eugh
But DMC4 is still great, and Trigun is still the best mango. Just, conjuring some uncomfortable memory associations, y'know?
I bought one, and a router, because the one the ISP provided was really bad.

You have to rent them, and frankly it is my personal principle to give Comcast et al as little of my money as possible.

Did she apologize or double down? It could have been a calculation.
God I can't wait to be off this shitty contract.

The real answer is maybe. No is an easier answer for Verizon to give though.
