Quite a bump. That was a really good card at the time.

Nvidia Riva 128 AGP with 4 megs of ram. I will never ever forget when they released hardware accelerated opengl drivers and I played Quake GL for the first time. It was hitting 120fps and looked absolutely beautiful compared to the software rendered games I’d played up to that point.

There are about two people on here who wouldn’t say “fuck Henry Kissinger”.

What a massive load of shite. The fucking smell of boot polish off your breath is disgusting.

Jog on.

Compress those suckers!

Just installed. Looks great. Thank you.

That’s my understanding. It’s a long time ago but I believe they bought out Sun when they were facing bankruptcy.

If they’d released the x86 version of Solaris when it became clear that SPARC couldn’t keep up with Intel and AMD that could have been a possibility.

Solaris was such an amazing OS.

Are you using a VPN maybe?

Oooh, Netherlands and Denmark both over 90% now. We’re movin’!

This is a thing. My wife has to get lots of extra shots of the gum numbing stuff. Her first dentist as a kid didn’t believe her that she could still feel and it caused her huge trauma.

Oh nice. Thank you. Installed.

My wife and one of my kids is a lefty. I’ve kinda grown used to half looking out for it in others but only idly. It was fun watching each of the kids to see if any of them would be.

A friend of mine dropped an absolute bomb one day that I’ll never forget: “There’s only right handed and wrong handed”. Definitely more than 20 years ago now but I never forgot it because I laughed so hard.

Yeah this is my only real gripe with an otherwise fantastic app. I’m constantly losing my scroll point to it. Would really love to see it fixed and many thanks to the devs for all their hard work.

Well that’s a new one. Looks delicious. I’m a big Cadbury fan.

They still have those where I live I think. Chocolate shavings on top?

I did come across the competitive scene there about 2 years ago. Honestly I found it both fascinating and a bit disheartening. There was I happy with my occasional dad game where I was regularly beating the AI on one of the higher levels. Nope. Apparently still a noob after 25 years.

The speed and accuracy that they move and build at is astounding.

It is?! Must look into that. Still my favourite game of all time.

At 7 years of age I was collecting the grass coming out of my neighbours lawnmower. I was tossing it in the air at my dog who was having great fun jumping into the air catching it.

Cue my neighbour running over my foot with his lawnmower. I didn’t feel much pain as it shredded straight through my runner and skin.

I was rushed to hospital and somehow they saved my toe. It took about five years for me to regain feeling in it.

Edit: oh I missed the word “work”.

TL;DR I think most people are full of goodness.

In this instance that’s definitely the case that it’s shitty behaviour IMO but in general I still hold dear to my view that most people are good and it’s my default position on new people I meet, with some bad vibe exceptions, until proven otherwise.

It’s like the old Mr Rogers quote about looking for the helpers. I see (and try my best to also do and am so lucky to be married to someone the same) so much good in this world.
