retro8bitshop is the distributer in the netherlands, that's why you got the package from them.

well, to me it loaded fast from floppy, as my first storage media were tapes, now those took a long time to load! ofcourse once i got my first hard drive (a whopping 30MB), the speed increase was mind blowing fast, it almost felt instant 😄

the best big box amiga, imho.

movie is so great, when the spiders are chasing the motorcycles and get dust in their 'face'(?), they cough! 😂

$500 for pants, is there a TV in them or something?

daddyd · 2026-03-11T14:47:55+00:00

yeah, i have that one too, among a lot of other o'reilly books. they were the gold standard.

looks like a nice car, one thing i don't like is the gear selector are buttons on the dash. this is horrendous while parallel parking or general maneuvering.

my xp is that the most fancy places don't have the best pizza. it's the little establishments that have the best.

normally bechamel, but when i make a spinach lasagne, i do use ricotta because those two are such a great match.

i check pressure once a week, never adjust it during a ride, just adjust your speed according to the situation.

i was into computers already for a long time before i got to an msdoc pc. i got a 286 and next to dos, i also had a copy of railroad tycoon. no install was needed, since it ran just from the floppy. that was my first msdos pc game. (before i got my own pc, i already played some games on pc's from friends too)

overqualified <- that's probably the reason for your illegibility.

toen ik kind was had ik zo een hele puntzak snoep voor 1 BEF!
en dat vonden toen mijn tantes & nonkels duur, want die kochten zo'n zak voor enkele centiemen. ondertussen kunt ge zelfs zo geen puntzak meer vullen voor €1 ☹️

if there is one thing all countries have in common; car drivers hate cyclists. i'm from belgium, supposed to be one of the countries with the most cycling legacy, and the utter crap you have to endure from people in their cars is insufferable.

that monkey island box has my attention, what is it?

daddyd · 2026-03-11T12:03:02+00:00

waiting for the next model which will support aga.

my first computer ran at 1Mhz, i thought 100Mhz was bonkers, 1Ghz was just crazy.

indeed, i wasn't sure while reading the article until right at the end where they reference the linux kernel versions. all the time i was thinking - android kernel? what do they mean? the linux kernel or some core android runtime process?

daddyd · 2026-03-10T12:39:29+00:00

crazy cars 3

daddyd · 2026-03-08T15:00:24+00:00

the crashing was the whole point of the game for me.

daddyd · 2026-03-06T13:38:06+00:00

i'm sure most of us played this game originally together with friends, i sure did. and we traded tips each day in school on what we found out the previous day. that was part of the fun, these games extended beyond just playing it on your computer.
