I was confused watching Reading Rainbow because I didn't understand how a blind man could be reading to me.
Lil bonus, I know first hand why floppy disks are called that, but only because my dad had some old games.
Did you have the little switch screwed into the back of your set to go from "TV" to "GAME" ?
also, I came here to post "Atari 2600" but I'll leave it in this comment instead :P
And you're old enough to be online? That doesn't seem correct
(This comment also serves to say how old I am)
Why? 2024-2001=21. That's definitely old enough to be online
Edit: 23, definitely old enough
I think the minimum age for online these days is something like 43? Otherwise you have to pretend to be a bot?
Gmail account is firstname.lastname and neither of them are rare.
Even though I don't use Gmail anymore I keep that account alive.
Fun tip, dots in a Gmail address are ignored, so you can also use firstnamelastname, first.name.lastna.me, or any other combo to receive mail at
Fun fact:
Not all services that use "sign in with google" will respect that, though most will
Backblaze immediately comes to mind as one that always makes me include the dot or it gets pissy
When I played with AWS way back before it became the behemoth it is, I used it to simply store a few small things, like my Keepass DB. I then deleted it.
So my fun fact: if you ever had an account with AWS and delete it, you can never use that same exact email again. So I went from lastname.firstname@gmail.com to lastnamefirstname@gmail.com and have had that AWS account for way longer than the original.
Yeah that's signing in, so your username must match. There are reasons why you should not use sign in with Google, mostly to do with security and privacy. In which case you can sign up for an account using as many or as few dots as you like.
For just receiving mail this works universally.
Yeah but it used to not be ignored so now me and this random person with my name basically share an email address. We don't get each other's emails all that often somehow. We first chatted years ago when I got an important email for a job she applied for (soon after they started ignoring the dots), and she seemed decent so I didn't change it. Definitely a huge risk but here we are.
I still have [religious figure]@gmail.com
The account is completely overrun with spam. And there are about 20 people who seem to think it is their actual email address and I get like legit power bills and stuff on it.
For me, gmail beta in college. Also my first gmail account got banned for sending myself too many invites to make more accounts… to make GameFAQs accounts. >___>
I grew up with the Star Wars trilogy on VHS box set and phantom menace was one of my first movies in a theatre.
I was going to say this.
Instead I’ll say: 48k ZX tape noises and Ace of Aces. Betamax. Not answering the phone as we’re having dinner.
And manic miner! Damn that game was brutal.
I used to edit config.sys and autoexec.bat to free up enough conventional memory to get my games to run.
I wrote custom software to manage my different versions based on which software I needed.
Technically, you're younger than your tongue.
Because your age is counted from birth but your tongue was formed before you were born.
Old enough to have seen the fall of USSR but not old enough to understand its significance at the time.
Lenny is completely firewalled. No email address, different country instance, honeypot false personal information...
