@betty_nft I've been paying myself to post for years and it's honestly worked out pretty well 💰

Since I posted I’d be starting to take on select paid posts that align and feel ok to share, I have said no to a couple of really well paying deals that definitely didn’t feel aligned. Maybe I just don’t do paid posts you guys 😂😭

@exQUIZitely Vanilla 🍦

@Swixel Vanilla Amiga or with second drive and Hard Drive? 🙏

I know it's easy to discard gaming from the 80s, 90s, and even the early 2000s as nothing more than nostalgia viewed through rose-tinted glasses. One aspect that often gets overlooked in that debate is actually based on facts, not just overly sentimental nostalgia. Having a computer and wanting to get the most out of it - and sometimes even just to get it working at all - required you to be far more invested, curious, and hands-on, so maybe that's why anyone who experienced that era feels a stronger connection to it. You had to read up on things, learn, and tinker with both software and hardware. If you had a PC in the 80s or 90s, it wasn't a "one and done" purchase. There was constant upgrading: swapping out a crappy sound card for a better one, replacing a small/slow hard drive, installing a CD-ROM drive, doubling your RAM from 1 MB to 2 MB… the list went on and on. It meant installing and updating drivers so everything actually worked. It meant understanding compatibility issues - all without the internet in the early days - so you relied on magazines, manuals, and friends who had "been there, done that." And that was just the hardware side. Then came the software: getting drivers, configs, and setups tuned perfectly so you could squeeze every last bit of performance out of the machine. Some games simply wouldn't run unless you freed up those final kilobytes of conventional memory. There was even a whole industry built around "managing your PC" with tools like Norton Commander and countless others. These days, there is... No more fiddling with AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS files. No fine-tuning HIMEM.SYS. No IRQ conflicts with your sound card. No more boot disks. 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. Saving up for that shiny new VGA card to replace your 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 plenty of trial and error and frustrating "OMFG, why isn't this working?!" moments… but when it finally worked, the reward was so much sweeter. Finally freeing up those last couple of kilobytes of your 640K base memory? Glorious. Replacing that pathetic PC speaker with a real sound card? Pure ecstasy. To all you old-school gamers out there, I hope you experienced it the same way. I always felt that the need to tinker endlessly made the whole experience more rewarding. You were more connected to your machine and understood it on a deeper level. These days, you just click a button and the game downloads and installs itself. I have a modern PC, of course. It's been over 20 years since I last had to do any real tinkering. That's convenient, sure… but the magic and curiosity is gone.
