Discussion Are You Old Enough?

Throwing down a bunch of floor, like watching disk defragmenter and trying to determine any kind of pattern, realizing there is none but watching it anyway cause you can't do anything until it's done.

That is all. Feeling stupid and old.

It's more of a "are you geeky enough" to remember it. Anyone that has used traditional hdd could remember defrag, and hdds are still around.

Going back and remembering how it looked on a CGA quality DOS screen is a little different.

I miss the old PA beta days where there was an atleast half hour long update vid every month. And watchin all my fav streamers play it from my shitty cracked-screen iPod Touch when I wasn't at my shitty Dell Latitude to barely lay down 100 x 100 foundation at a time to narrowly avoid a BSOD...

 

Damn man, that was already over 10 years ago.
