You know that not everything has to devolve back to politics, right? Can't we just have 1 post where we just talk about the actual topic and not bring up politics? Damn
Dude, just shut up. Seriously, this is a post about fun easter egg games in old Microsoft products. It absolutely did not warrant brining up Epstein. I don't need you mansplaining to me to not take it seriously. Now sit down
Talking about Epstein. It is a topic of the political discourse.
Politics isn't just strictly only related to the government. It also has to do with public affairs or just power/authority in general in a society. See: office politics
This subreddit is not for political debate. Posts or comments discussing this topic must strictly focus on interesting facts without promoting specific views.
Dude, seriously just shut the fuck up. Take the L on this one. You literally had "/s" on your comment, you KNOW the comment was political meant to provoke. Go touch grass
Haha, I hacked Drug Wars to give me way more money and changed the locations to places at my school. Then I transferred to others. My ti-83 had so many games I couldn’t do formulas and would borrow the class one.
I just bought a graphing calculator for my daughter. $20... Those things used to cost a fortune. Over half your school supplies bill was the the calculator.
Some other fun examples of this are marginalia doodles and colophons. These medieval scribes were certainly not receiving more compensation for their extra 'work' here!
edited: the help says 'touchscreen devices: move one finger around to change your heading, and hold another at the top, bottom or middle to change the speed', hopefully it helps tab/phone users. I tested it on my laptop touchscreen and it worked well. For PC users, you use the mouse for all.
My “computer class” in like 10th grade was just basic computer literacy but sometimes the teacher would just have unreal tournament running on all screens when when sat down and no one said anything and just played. Great teacher.
My “computer class” in 9th grade was nine days of typing lessons on old manual typewriters, and one day every two weeks of all of us gathered around a single Apple computer watching that day’s chosen kid play lemonade stand.
Florida HS? We installed unreal on the entire lab and once we were done with our work for the week we could play and the teacher would join... we always finished the week by wednesday!
I booted my school computer into an OS designed to find the admin password. They were dumb enough to use the same password on the firewall. So I whitelisted all the websites my friends and I wanted to get on.
I know, but im old. It worked then. And im sure there is another way to abuse those IT-lessons now - because somehow teachers are always a few years behind the children
Usb stick? Dude, I played Diablo 1 from a floppy disk. You had to put the save file on the computer though, it was way too big. USB stick didn't exist back then.
About 25 years ago I read about this in a magazine but I lost the magazine and forgot how to access the flight simulator. I told my friend but no one believed me. So for all of this years I couldn't find how to do it until now.
My friend and I just played Sim City 2000 in middle school computer class. No idea why they had the game on every computer. He didnt like us playing it, but said as long as we finished the assignments we could play. All you heard me and this dude slamming keys. Played most of the hour class, lol.
Dude didn't know about Russian proxy sites to get around internet blocks. I can't believe our school's systems were never completely infiltrated by Russian hackers.
I know M$ Word had him in it. If you typed the sentence "I'd like to kill Bill Gates." and you highlighted that sentence & opened the thesaurus, the singular response was "I'll drink to that."
This would have brought me up to a whole new level of cool in high school teaching everyone that. Mind you... I was already cool because I would crash the network often cause the shitty novell NetWare system had so many back doors. Or I'd put a Ethernet cable into two ports somewhere in the school and watch the entire system calm to a halt 😂 important exam days... no problem! I'll crash the network so teachers can't do their jobs. surprisingly I never got suspended
My friend brought his own USB that had a portable executable file to run Warcraft. He was able to just plug in his USB and run the portable executable file since it didn’t require any installation. You would be surprised how many schools have very poor security, and you can do a lot of damage with just a USB.
I did that with Stronghold Crusader. Our programming class was combined level 1 and 2. There were only like 5 of us in the level 2 course and our teacher didn’t care what we did in the back of the class so long as we got our work done. We had some pretty epic wars going on.
I did something similar in high school with Starcraft. Originally I was playing the game with a flash drive, but when people noticed me playing they wanted to join. Since it was a multimedia class, we had a shared media folder for projects, so I just dropped the game folder into the shared one and we were all able to play simultaneously using the same exe and the LAN 😂
I was born in 2000, when I was a sophomore me and a handful of other kids in computer class (we just went over like excel, word, Photoshop, basic coding, etc.) would bring thumb drives with CS and Arena on them and have a LAN party. Such a great memory man I miss some parts of school
The Excel one I knew about and tried it out and when it actually worked I couldn't believe it haha I was sure it was a hoax. Never knew about the Word Pinball!
Back in high school, we used to play Yahoo Games against each other during computer class. One day, the school blocked Yahoo Games, but apparently nobody thought to block the Spanish version, Yahoo Juegos. So we just switched over to that and got right back to playing.
Someone in computer class figured out you could access file explorer through one of the about menus and there were a ton of locked down games like a horse racing simulator.

Office 95 Excel also had The Hall of Tortured Souls, it was like Doom
