Spending hours ooing and awwing over Encarta Encyclopedia on CD
and playing a starwars game that I cant for the life of me remember anything about other than flying through a canyon as the first level, and being too dumb and uncoordinated to actually complete the level and not crash.
Computing was so much more interesting and entertaining back then… Now its so boring, everything drowning in same-ness.
tell me about it… Like, in the 80s and 90s when stores had wild and radical design asthetics and were awesome places to wander around… and now they are all the same boring off white blandness.
I miss screensavers.
God I wish there was a modern day version of that one of the shipwrecked guy on the island, that was all animated and full of story elements.
Best money I’ve ever spent on steam is for wallpaper engine. Check it out.
I just looked at wallpaper engine and…uh… yeah, thats an awful lot of semi-naked cartoon women.
Soooo… I think I’ll pass.
Don’t worry, there is naked cartoon women too.
Screensavers still exist in Windows, you know. I use one for my OLED.
I would sit and watch that thing like a movie lol.
I spent many hours while home sick just lying down and watching Johnny Castaway. I’ve had his hum stuck in my head… forever.

Damn, I’m sure we had a computer running Windows 3.1 at some point when I was a kid, but I guess we didn’t have any fun stuff. Lol
I remember playing DOS games, and then there’s a gap, and the first windows I remember was probably win95
I remember 3 things about windows 3.1
The simplicity of the layout.

Same with shopping, cities, the internet, TV/movies, etc.
I crave novelty and variety, damn it.
