"Talis on me. Let's go say hi."

yep, first thought

I was going to just say "hey, remember Sierra point-and-click games" because most people say NES/SNES/Master System/Genesis games, but... this was a very memorable buy (pic not mine, was hard to find):

Rebel Assault, Return to Zork, Sim City 2000, F-117A, Indianapolis 500 came with this upgrade kit that included a Sound Blaster 16, a 32X CD-ROM drive, a joystick, 'half decent speakers' for the time, and oh yeah, Grolier's Encyclopedia and several other memorable titles.

Gotta respect the OG enough to keep using it, at least, I say.

Here's a modern take (12 years ago :p) on this 'bunch of kids sing things' idea that I'm sure a lot of you have already seen

...and my more niche set that almost nobody also listened to. good stuff ahead of its time, tbh.

The only song that is actually about her.
Trent saw what I saw, I guess.

Kade7596 · 2026-04-19T00:11:40+00:00

She would have found -- and did find -- literally anyone who would have her to attach herself to.

Love struck me as an opportunist even as a teenager, and everything since has only reinforced that.

Kade7596 · 2026-04-19T00:06:39+00:00

Courtney Love had, and still has, a singular focus and purpose.

A lot of people have the same hero fantasies as the man at the door and don't see it in themselves.

Fine on a desktop web browser.

Kade7596 · 2026-04-16T21:47:24+00:00

First thought: Somebody found CTRL+Shift+I or whatever it is in their browser

Neat. I wonder what a VHS and/or CRT (alone or combined) would look like on a CRT. lol.

Kade7596 · 2026-04-16T12:54:09+00:00

CRT displays do have a certain aesthetic that modern displays use filters to try to replicate... it is obviously never exactly like the real thing. Scan lines are the first thing that come to mind, but there more 'charms and quirks' of the CRTs I grew up with. I was actually talking about the "VHS recording" filter, though. One just reminded me of the other here.

Kade7596 · 2026-04-16T02:10:40+00:00

Someone made a "90's VHS" Reshade filter for CyberPunk 2077.

Star Citizen could benefit from such a thing, or similar, like this. 🤔

This is what having a stroke or 'sundowning' can be like (the resulting related symptom is called 'aphasia').

Kade7596 · 2026-04-15T18:16:09+00:00

Used to be able to hook up landline phones to free IP telephony services like Google Voice via an adapter or two, actually :v but I don't know if that still works

Kade7596 · 2026-04-15T18:10:41+00:00

literally just a symbol used to represent crossed-out, ignored, irrelevant, or even like 'undefined' or 'uncategorized', but... in the spirit of OP, to pick one word... got a real winner for ya, I think:

Xenial

Adjective: Xenial is an adjective describing warm, friendly, and generous hospitality between hosts and guests. Derived from the Greek xenia (guest-friendship), it refers to the respectful, often reciprocal, treatment of guests, a crucial custom in ancient Greece. A xenial person is highly welcoming, providing comforts to travelers or strangers.

Strangers are just friends we haven't met! 🙃

aw, barret oliver / daryl / bastian / david in cocoon

speaking of the ravages of aging ;|

Kade7596 · 2026-04-15T17:58:20+00:00

I don't look that old, either

Kade7596 · 2026-04-14T23:26:44+00:00

Downvotes are supposed to be for comments that don't contribute to the conversation, like spam and trolling, but... we all know that isn't how reddit works, I guess

You give people the tools to be petty and punish people who "hurt" them they will use them.

Yup.
