Hello. I am a single, middle aged man from midwestern United States. Pic is not me.
I LOVED TA back in the day. I recently bought it again off Steam.
Atari 2600 gamez! Very cool. I still have my 2600 and the TV I used when I was a kid. Both still work.
Also, so glad someone put arcade games on their list.
Ultima IV !!! Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time.
I played that on my Commodore 64 and waited a loooong time for the (actually floppy) disk drive to spin up.
I bet most people here don’t know any of the Ultima games.
Fuckin SHUT UP!
We don’t want to give those MS assholes ANY ideas.
Degoogle instead.
I’ve always been pretty bad at Tetris. This video was very engaging and entertaining. It tells a great story.
I imagine the answer to this depends greatly on when a person became blind. I assume you’re asking about people blind since birth, but that’s not all blind people.
Interesting.
I was thinking along the lines of eharmony where (I think?) everyone pays to play. I understand the ploy you describe exists and I do want to avoid that shit.
Probably. Valid point.
Thanks. I’ve done it before and you are correct, there are some real assholes out there. I might get better results if I pony up some cash for a site or service.
I have been thinking about trying online dating again. Not really looking forward to it because I expect it to be a mess.
I think I’ll try a very minimalist approach on my profile because most people read profiles looking for reasons to reject. If I don’t give many possible reasons to reject then I should increase the pool of people to date. In theory, anyway.
Sweet summer child. It was a thing.
Yep.
They also think The Sound of Silence is that song by Disturbed.
Silly kids. Get off my…um…music…
I recently figured out that I can make fresh chopped baby spinach (and kale and chard) by chopping it up and frying it in my cast iron frying pan with some avo oil.
Top it off with lemon juice. Tastes great.
Must be that’s where you Aussies kept your boots. I think that’s British English, tho, right?
Not thinking of many off the top of my head but I am sure there are many things called by an obsolete name.
Trunk of a car, maybe. Used to be a literal trunk (box) strapped to the car.
Filming someone. Or taping. No film/tape involved now.
“Floppy” disk icon for saving in PC apps. Youngsters probably wonder wtf that is.
There’s probably a word for this.
I own a couple actual vintage arcade machines and paid less for them than this. If you shop around you can find deals.
I also have one of these 1up cabs and it is definitely not like vintage. Software may be the same but it is using a modern monitor not a CRT. I think I paid around 300 for it several years ago. Not full size.
