Yeah thats what i meant. I should see the fun as the primary part of this. I guess we're just one step away from meme email addresses.

My friends all got ZX Spectrums and had a larger pool of people to swap games with. My parents got me an Acorn Electron, which has a child i was disappointed. I loved the hell out of that thing and the lack of friends with the same system

oh yeah, those are so annoying. Paypal forever shuffling that stupid credit card button of theirs in place of the 'pay now'. What the hell, don't they have enough money they dont have to use dodgy tactics to get me to sign

I don't care for graphics really, dwarf fortress is the best game ever, IMO. this was more how my memory from 35 years or so compares to reality.

Agreed. A couple of times a year i go try and purge the stuff they send. I do want to see the job searches that I've asked for, i don't expect to see any job posting I've even glimpse at, or anything vaguely associated wi

There does seem a lot of that kinda shit nowadays. Websites thinking they know what you mean. Just search what i typed pleased, maybe if its got zero results then sure...have a guess what you think i intended. So often you can't se

I second this. I've worked from home for about 11 years now, pre-covid everything was fine. Met up with friends a couple of times a week, and the odd organised social. A little more awkward nowadays with lockdowns and such, which ha

As do i. 32939464 probably haven't touched it in near 20 years ( guessing about 18 ). And whilst nostalgia is great, it would be great to free up memory sections of the brain like this :)

Thats kind of where i was. Now though i'm persevering with DDG. If I'm unhappy with a search i just prefix it with a !g and runs it again via google. I hope that shows something to the DDG guys to know some things we still use
