Stare at the blinking cursor and wonder what else you could type.

Being born when we were. The first home computers booted into a form of BASIC. If you wanted it to do anything, you had to write a program to do it. If you wanted to play a game, you had to write the game to play it. Kids today and their point and click game makers!!! We didn't learn how to program because we wanted to, we learned how to program because we had to.

Do I know? sure. I think so, anyway. The basic mechanics seem reasonably easy enough. Have I ever? Nah. "Could" I? Probably not, no. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Yes, many times, and within a matter of seconds when working in a pit crew at some races. Not looking forward to changing tires on my truck. Big and heavy tires/wheels. |

There was this weird instrument from the 70s or so. It made a kind of analogue sound and was controlled with holding the hand further or closer away from it. I think maybe there was a Beach Boys song with that?

When I was 17, I was once given one turquoise cufflink as a gift. Not a pair of cufflinks, ONE cufflink. Absolutely beautiful, but just ONE. I ended up turning it into a lovely tie tack.

As I spent my formative years with two ghosts in the bedroom, most nights I feared for my safety as they threatened to kill me, possessed my toys, posters, etc) I'd be pretty pissed off and fearful of it again although I can't say how much of it was real and how much of it was the wild imagination of myself as a young child. -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also! |

I was relieved when I moved house when I turned 8 years old, I didn't want much from the old bedroom in the new one, it was quite the relief of a house move for a while.

Ryan: Here, a kid in your situation would be charging the neighborhood kids and friends to sleep over with him in his haunted bedroom. Seen & felt ghosts and other entities several times in life. When I lived in Maryland, I walked everywhere. No matter how hot and humid the night was when I came home, there was one spot in the parking lot that was always icy cold. |

Question of the Day : June 13thHow has the emulation scene evolved over the years? |
| Tue, 13 Jun 2023, 04:29 | |
|
Kuron |
Better and more powerful due to the increases in chip architecture, This has provided the ability for online emulation to actually be usable, phones and tablets to be capable of decent emulation. It has also allowed my favorite piece of emulation, where I have all the 2600 games on it.

No! Why be afraid of what I'll one day become? |

Maybe that's why ghosts don't have reflections, so they don't BOOOO! themselves every time they come face to face with a mirror.

It would depend on who's ghost it is...
