Eh, at least you lived interesting times. I'm a bit jealous of those who saw the first digital systems take off
Well, at least usenet stood the test of time haha - bring back ICQ dammit!
Interesting times (positive) vs interesting times (nightmare)
Remembering this on our old CGA PC... I'd have to sneak out into the garage to steal time when my dad wasn't using it.
I never realized this is where I got my thing for bright pink, cyan, and white... Even playing through Starfield, my ship was those colors. Next time I play it I'm gonna have to make a Bean-with-Bacon Megarocket.
And John Carmack today is deadnaming and misgendering trans people upon their death...
I have to assume as a close friend of becky, that still hung out with her post-transition, that must have been something becky was ok with. Alot of older trans are not very sensitive about getting it all absolutely correct. And especially when their old name is the one they are famous/well-known by.
Plus it was written in a timeline of their life and post-transition switches to they. It may not be how younger trans have setup the rules to work, but it doesn't strike me as something that becky would have had a problem with.
What?
I do know that he provides PR cover for oligarch interests, perhaps in a genuine manner, but the fact remains.
What? Do you have a link? That's a gut punch if so...
Still one of my favorite games and it’s hard too in certain areas.
Quick, someone link a compilation of Civvie 11 giving increasingly absurd titles when talking about Carmack!
