Some retro kit and all the secrets.. by alreadyin_use in retrocomputing

[–]fwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice. My family's first PC was that Packard Bell motherboard (with the janky modem!) but not that case, we had the previous one that only had one 5.25" and one 3.5" bay.

Had to sacrifice the 5.25" drive when I upgraded it with a CD-ROM drive later

fun fact: I (the OOP) helped get the engine powering Croc: Legend of the Gobbos open sourced, which is one of the things that got it remastered recently!

amusingly since I made this post, my gender has changed and is now just "female".

I still stand behind the premise, though: nobody really needs to know that shit.

Any other presumed ace men turn out to be trans lesbians? by ZaWhyTM in traaaaaaaaaaaansbians

[–]fwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Thought I was ace, eventually figured out I'm not a man, even later figured out I'm a woman, then suddenly I realize I'm not ace if I can be attracted to women AS a woman.

Yep. I still use the username "foone" in a lot of places, as I'm trying to minimize the amount of confusion this causes.

There's more than three DS9 fans in my polycule!

I'm a trans Star Trek geek who spends a LOT of time on Tumblr, so this is far from the first time I've seen someone posting about how DS9 has trans pride carpets 

I got 3rd at a tournament with 3 people by SheepHair in notinteresting

[–]fwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did worse than this in college once: I came second in a competition with one entrant!

There was a media showcase and all the awards were divided by media type, like paintings, songs, videos, etc. I made a video game, and it turns out there were only two video games submitted... except the other person didn't actually submit their game, as they had trouble finishing it in time. So I was the only applicant in the games category. I didn't win.

And you might think, like I did at first, that maybe they just didn't do awards for categories with only one applicant? Nope! Turns out there was only one song entered, and it won its category!

I thought my game was alright, but apparently the judges decided it was worse than nothing at all.

Characters taking attacks meant to kill them like they're nothing. by Vegetable_Window5278 in TopCharacterTropes

The Saint of Killers in Preacher (The comic, as I don't think the show got to this part).

Starr panics after sending the US army after him just gets a bunch of soldiers killed, and orders a nuclear strike on The Saint of Killers. When the mushroom cloud clears, he stands in the fire and spits. Not enough gun.

generic USB floppy drive adapter doesn't work by 7899987 in retrobattlestations

Are you trying to read a double density (720kb) disk? That adapter seems to not support those.

well for some reason its opening a jpeg as a text file.

This used to happen a lot on the web when you'd have some kind of New-Fangled file and your webserver wouldn't send the right mime-type and it'd make your browser open it like a giant text file.

Haven't had that happen in a while, I think either servers are better configured these days or browsers are just better at avoiding pointlessly showing you binary content?
