melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 month agoI feel like all I ever do lately is scream at things to suck my arse and eat a dick. It has to be getting repetitive.
I have a Windows laptop for gaming but I really regret updating to Windows 11 and it’s steadily getting less usable with all the enshittification. Everything else is following suit, old faithfuls are getting fucked sideways, and at the end of the year I’m going to lose everything including Steam and Github.
I have a couple of ancient games on CD Rom and thankfully I added a cd drive to my desktop when I built it… but I don’t know if they’ll work with modern computers and that is the one I have earmarked for Linux because Windows 7 is out of support and the hardware can’t take Win 10/11.
I wish I had learned how to be a proper geek because it would really help in adjusting to this influx of fucked up bullshit.

I never had nintendo or sega
what is DS? oh, I have a really ancient green game boy type thing from the 90s and a blue one from the 1980s
they came with only one or two games, no cartridges at all

Oh you know the one that opens like a book but vertically? On the top half is a screen and on the bottom is a touchpad you use a little plastic stylus on. The games come on tiny physical cartridges. I had Petz (?) one of the Pokémon games and Spore.
Yeah, that’s right. That’s what that handheld Nintendo was called. In the 90s I had a Game Boy.
