@lacqui I remember building a menu system for all the different games and running QEMM.

To be honest, I wish we still had some of these options. For games that my computer is is right on the borderline of specs, I'd love to boot to a game specific mode that only loads exactly what I need for that game.

I know gaming is much more "convenient" these days. No more fiddling with AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS files. No fine-tuning HIMEM.SYS. No IRQ conflicts with your sound card. You don’t need a boot disk anymore. Juggling hard drive space? Forget it - drives now come in terabytes, not megabytes. Dealing with a 5.25" floppy, a 3.5" floppy, and a CD-ROM drive all crammed into one case? What a drag. These days, you just click a button and the game downloads and installs itself. Saving up for that shiny new VGA card to replace your trusty old EGA? Not a thing anymore. And yet, if you ask older gamers who lived through the 80s and 90s, most of us actually enjoyed customizing and troubleshooting our machines. It was part of the experience - part of the joy and excitement. Sure, it involved a lot of trial and error and plenty of frustrating “OMFG, why isn’t this working?!” moments… but when it finally did work, the reward was so much sweeter. Finally freeing up those last couple of KB in your 640K base memory? Replacing the pathetic PC speaker with a real sound card? Pure ecstasy. Especially when your “Command HQ” eventually looked like this… oh, the glory days! Too all you OGs out there, I hope you experienced it that way too.

Please take the time to watch this and sign the petition. Dan was a member of SCES and STARS and also a great mentor. Not receiving the proper coverage and recognition he deserves is abhorrent to all those within the fire service. fight4dan.com youtu.be/gGCv-kwR-jo

@lacqui Sounds like the good old days of the CF. Let's make everything shiny so it looks like we do no actual work.

Ugh. VIP visit next week means real work is being put aside for "make everything pretty"

@lacqui Come on over to the Wild West. We are crazy and have shops open today.

@Spark898 I built my castle in a swamp. It burned down, fell over, and sank.

@lacqui @brollbenny That is a big milkshake, and I’m sure it would bring all the people to the yard.

@brollbenny I, too, would love to have a milkshake the size of my head!

Sam edited these…it’s important to me that everyone know that.
“Daily walks and coffee shops”

@lacqui I think that goes along with any statement that was preceded by I’m not “blank”, but or no offense, but
You know something that follows is probably questionable.
Similar to anything that follow the statement, “you know what?…..” it is not going to be good.

Has there ever, in the history of the English language, been a time when the phrase "I'm not racist but" wasn't immediately followed by something racist?

Less than 8 hours left at my current job.
Not gonna lie, I'm a bit nervous about it.

Why is there a perception of injustice in the Canadian Forces?
Maybe because there fucking well is.
Hold officers to a higher standard. The higher the rank, the higher the standard.
