On my desktop pc I have almost every file I’ve downloaded since 1998. Seriously.
Want that old specific version of Nero to burn CDs, I probably have you. Looking for abandonware? Yeah, that was my thing for awhile.
I used to have operating systems I can’t find any record of existing these days (mostly front ends for DOS made to seem more modern in the early 00s). I had something that made Windows 3.1 look like Windows 95, I even had something that made Windows 98 look just like Mac OS 8 (no shit, it layered over windows and everything flawlessly).
I had every version of Mandrake Linux and several versions after the rename.
Tonnns of software to extend the life of 16 bit hardware.
I still have several screeners in 240p from the early 2000s with the audience moving around and laughing in them.
I have a decent collection of Nirvana bootlegs I downloaded from FTP servers way back in the day.
Man I miss the old internet. I’m getting old and that’s part of it I guess.
I find myself hoarding on the Steam Deck desktop too. Something about having a wide open file system just brings that impulse out in me.
I took mine to her 3 year doctor visit yesterday. I noticed little bruises on her hands and I said, “what happened to your hands. It looks like you’re biting yourself.” She replied, “Sissy bite me.” Which I’ve been putting sissy in timeout for. This looked intentional though. Like she had to be a willing participant.
It hit me that she may be encouraging her sister to bite her until she leaves a mark to get her in trouble, so I decided to watch closer.
Last night I seen her take her sister’s head and move it toward her hand a few times. Finally she latched on hard. “Waaaaa, sissy bite me!”
She wanted her sister’s toy and found a way to get it.
She’s doing evil genius shit lol.
I told her, “She’s not gonna get in trouble if you put your hand in her mouth. You’ll be the one to go to timeout.”
Interesting, as someone who takes Suboxone, I avoid Tylenol because of potential liver issues. I was told during the pandemic that ibuprofen caused things to be worse. It was a confusing time and a very scary time.
If sit down at my desk and use my pc I’ll click the old Reddit bookmark and go on for about 5 minutes. That has only happened about 3 times since Apollo shut down. I almost exclusively used my phone for Reddit before that. Now I bounce between Voyager and YouTube. YouTube for background noise while I’m working, Voyager when I’m idle.
Me too. That is when I discovered the rarest Nirvana song of all time. It was Freak by Silverchair. It took me an hour to download it.
I also had the entire collection of songs Bill Clinton sang about blowjobs and Monica Lewinsky. Like, literally that’s all the dude sang about. Talk about being obsessed.
I could go on. What a great time it was to be alive.
