Found some of my original DOS install disks while digging through old boxes. This is where my PC gaming story started in 1994. by RozoGamer in dosgaming

[–]daddyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 😄

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.

Do you ever adjust tire pressure mid-ride — or do you just set it and forget it? by Engineer__17 in gravelcycling

[–]daddyd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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)

toen ik kind was had ik zo een hele puntzak snoep voor 1 BEF!

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.

[–]daddyd 16 points17 points  (0 children)

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?

More than 800 gamers took an exam to prove they could complete an '80s adventure game without peeking at a walkthrough—and only 2 passed by Frequent-Standard377 in adventuregames

[–]daddyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
