PSA there's a flatpak.
I knew this would be here when I got to the comments. Thanks for making me smile!
As a millennial, I feel like the boomers in my life chased it more than the people in my cohort.
My boomer mom was obsessed with spider solitaire and freecell for years until she got sick. And columns on genesis.
That and blowing all her money on ebay.
My boomer mom used to flatline every AA battery in the house using my Gameboy to play Tetris. Once I started hiding it she told me (20 years later) that she would dream about Tetris and had withdrawal. Once my aunt gave me her old windows 3.1 laptop I would often find it with solitaire still open. She never said anything about dreaming about solitaire though.
I had a plug-in battery pack adapter so I didn’t have that problem. She certainly tried all my gameboy games (she liked mole mania the most) but they werent a hit the way columns or the card games were.
Yeah, wish I had one of those 😭
Oh man they were amazing! I just wish all the additional accessories had been equally compatible. My sibling got a gameboy pocket the same time our parents gave me the gameboy (you can guess who wasn’t the favorite!) and sibling had so many more options for stuff. Lighted magnification screens and stuff never seemed to be made for the original fat gameboy. Or if they were, good luck finding them.
I'm the oldest of 6, so I got everything first. Mostly. Do you really feel like you weren't the favourite? I know parents sometimes have a favourite, but mine never treated any of us differently. Except for the one sib born a girl, they were pampered af.
This isn’t a matter of thinking/feeling, but knowing. I hesitate to vomit negativity at you unless you actually do want the context involved, though.
I’m willing to give it, but not without request because it, umm.. requres content warnings and stuff…
That really sucks. Lay it on me if you want. My childhood wasn't great my mum was really abusive for most of it, but despite that I always knew I was loved. Not to excuse her actions, but there was a lineage of pain and abuse. She sought help, and got better at dealing with her own trauma, which made my younger siblings' early years easier.
I'm sorry you didn't get the love and care you needed.
Oh, thats genuinely so supportive of you that I don’t feel so ok sharing my bad..? I will because it was requested. But I kinda feel bad my mom was the one person who just adored me and everything I was (once I got to my teens and she could relate to me) and I love that but I lost her when I was 23..
It was neglect, rather than bad abuse. Same diff, we all end up broken.
So part of my life without appology -
CW: rape, neglect, etc idk. But CW either way.
::: spoiler Tap for spoiler My mother never wanted offspring and worked really hard to prevent pregnancy throughout her adulthood, before and after the 3-year period in which she was pregnant, she told me as much in my teens. But my dad came home from a trip, got drunk, and raped her. Hence, sibling.
My sibling was a marital rape baby. They look like my mom’s family with the recessive blond and blue genes. They were by far a favorite because everyone assumed my mom couldn’t have kids and they were a “miracle”, rather than that mother was working her butt off to prevent pregnancy, which was the truth.. a truth I follow. They didn’t change miracle opinion when I came around, they assumed sibling was a dam-burst.
My mother was a “good catholic woman” who earned all her accredatiom through catholic schools and colleges, and did not report her husband (a blasphemous lutheran) to anyone for the shitty behavior, because nobody would have cared. She’d have deserved that for marrying a hethan, I’m sure. Catholics aren’t wildly accepting.
Instead, she resolved to be pregnant and miserable for as little time as possible while not having an only child, and I was pooped out 13 mths later. Genuinely wish they had not done that. I was a planned companion because the shit already took hold of their lives. My mom never wanted kids, she wanted to be a doctor, but her religion basically forbade that and abortion, so instead she did all the things she didn't want to do.. She was miserable and gave up early because she was miserable.
When she was diagnosed with cancer at 50 she went directly into hospice rather than trying. I don’t blame her necessarily, I would probably do the same because most people who work with cancer patients don’t bother with treatment themselves because they know the outcome probability, but.. i still feel like if her life had been.. less depressing, she’d have tried to stick around.
But since sibling is a rape baby, my own existence is sort of.. mild..? except they don’t know and I do. And I intend for them never to know even though they are shitty people who haven’t tried to be in my life for over 20 years. Nobody deserves that burden, even my shitty sibling.
That really sucks. I'm sending you hugs. I wasn't pushing you to share, I was saying that I was open to listening if you wanted to. I'm really sorry you went through that.
Only ever saw that once. I'm trash at FreeCell but I worked at a shitty little computer store in Highschool and there was this dude who worked in the back room frankenstining SGI computers back together that was a damn genius at it — among other things. Shout out to all my LGCS homies.
I can’t believe whoever published this made this the winning game graphic. When I first learned to draw a goddamn rectangle on the screen with code, this is like the second thing I did right after that. This is not a production quality feature.
Did you learn to draw a rectangle on screen in the late 80s? That's when an intern made Microsoft Solitaire
Yes, I did.
Wow me with the graphics you would have put in there? I didn't see anything cooler until like 1993
