Meaningless without the context of how old you were at this time. I used and relate to all this stuff!
Who did this 😂😂😂

It is so deadpan and serious it transcends comedy and just becomes iconic.

Let’s be real - we always assumed that we could hear our parents walking in but there’s no way they didn’t sneak up and check what we were watching once in a while

What’s all this newfangled content being posted as old? My first computer had Windows 3.11 that you booted to from a command prompt. It was an amazing graphical upgrade from the command line computers. Now you could actually see what you were doing on the screen instead of typing commands and hoping a document would print with your data.
Before that, I used Apple IIe computers at school, with their solidly green command line interface. I remember being taught how to program instructions with those computers. You had a “turtle” (green triangle) that you needed to move to a specific spot on the screen, and you typed in commands to make him move.
Whatever content is in this meme, it all released long after I grew up and became an adult. You young whippersnappers.

Ah. LOGO.
cobysev@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Oh man! I had no clue what the program was called. We used it way back in my kindergarten/1st grade days, so I’d long forgotten the specifics. Thank you! This is exactly it.

Millennials are now “old” by internet standards, so Gen X and older are positively ancient.
bus_factor@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’m an elder Millennial, and I remember when we got old enough to use the 386 machines at school. Before that we were using DOS.
Our first home computer was bought second hand and didn’t even have a hard drive, just two 5.25" floppy drives, and also ran DOS. We’d have kids from the entire neighborhood visit to play games on it, because although it was second hand it was also very rare to have one.
I was 12 when Windows 95 came out. All this stuff looks waay newer than that. I’d say this draws the line for old at the older part of Gen Z. Millennials aren’t even on the scale.

I remember aged 5 watching my dad install Windows 95 from the floppy disk edition. I think that took like a dozen or so floppies?

Same, but then you severely undersold how old you are. Like, where’s the Space Cadet, at least?

I remember playing a hotseat game with my friend and his brothers ( I think heroes of might and magic 2) and I accidentally big toed the power button, just like in this picture 😅
Everyone was pretty gutted, although we then found out that autosave happened every turn, what a releif.

Grabthar@lemmy.world 11 months ago
This taught me many lessons in life, but the one I carry in my heart to this day is piracy.
bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 11 months ago
We actually had a C 128. But we always booted into C 64 mode because that had all the good games.
The only 128 game we had was some super complicated stealth bomber flight simulator. The manual was cool though.

We had multiple games on our floppies. All pirated and with miles of paper printouts showing which games were kn which floppy.
I think we had two legitimately bought games.

1: You a veteran?
2: Yes. No. I don’t wanna talk about it.
Camera zooms in on 2, fades to montage:
MiG 21 thundering overhead at tree top levels, while blasting ‘Hush’, which is being comically raised in pitch to squeaking chipmunk levels as it approaches, and then instantly downshifts by two octaves into quaalude voice after it passes overhead.
squad is slowly advancing through Hue with no resistance thus far… and then suddenly, from 3 different directions, VC on mopeds, blasting ‘Surfin Bird’ and headbanging maniacally, rapidly approach the unit… 2 are shot, but one makes it through, moped detonates with the force of 4 bundles of TNT
… rocket pod armed mi8s and hueys pieroutting around each other in the sky, throwing unguided rockets everywhere, taking out ground bound friend and foe alike, both ultimately running out if ammo and then crashing into the ground sideways and upside down…
Camera pops back to 2, slowly zooms out.
2: … I don’t wanna talk about it.

The one I remember best was having to use the DOS ‘park’ command before you shut down the PC. I guess I am that old.

Yup. Thankfully that “feature” went away real quick and it became automatic.
bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 11 months ago
Huh, never ever seen that. We always used the rule "yoi can shutdown the computer when you can see the C:".
What does park do? Put the HDD arm into a parked position? Never needed that for ours, but we also had a blazingly fast 486 with a massive 250 MB hdd.
