Ah, those sound like (mostly?) C64 games! We traded out the VIC-20 for a C64 around 1983. Much easier to get software for that. Everyone seemed to have them and a myriad of copy utilities and blank diskettes. I too remember getting a copy of Giana Sisters instead of the alternative for those with the NES. But we had just Mario Bros. where you got to whack turtles coming out of sewer pipes! I wish I had the AD&D games. Would have loved them, I bet. By the time those were released, I was rocking an XT when dad wasn’t using it for work, and using the C64 with a 1200 baud modem in the cartridge slot to play door games on BBSes when he was.

Never thought about it that way, but that’s wild. I was pre-school and already learning BASIC with our VIC-20. One of the earliest we bought was a dual-sided cassette of Math Hurdler and Monster Maze, but my dad spent all night on Christmas Eve typing in Killer Comet from some magazine so we could see it do something when we woke up to it at Christmas. I’d say my favourite of the magazine games was Tank vs UFO, though I still remember the frustration when one of those programs wouldn’t run! How about you? Programmed stuff like Rocket Command or was VIC Avenger more your speed?

Yeah, but if it was a gang bang with only one man, it would mostly look like Tom playing four jaw harps.

OMG I did the same thing at a local pub. Thinking steak sandwich. Ordered one up. Pretty good! Went home, went to bed. Three hours later - gurgle - glorp - oh shit! The rest of the night it was coming out both ends. Feel fine after some sleep. Forget all about it. Three weeks later, at the same pub. Thinking steak sandwich again. Pretty good! Went home, went to bed. Sure enough, three hours later, lather, rinse, repeat. Feel fine after some sleep. Forget all about it. Three weeks later, go to the same pub. Thinking steak sandwich again, third time’s the charm, right? My face when the pub had a sign up saying it was closed down for health code violations :/ To be fair, it was a good sandwich.

Cameras are pretty good at taking in light and giving a false representation of how you’d experience it if you were actually there. You see it at televised sporting events where it looks like twilight but they have to tell the viewers at home that it’s full dark there. I’d imagine at 10pm, his web cam was just doing a much better job seeing than a human eye could.

Weird. I don’t think I have driven a modern car that lets you put your hands around the wheel at 9 and 3 because that’s where the centre/airbag attaches. Most also have a third point at 6, so 10 and 2 or 8 and 4 seems more appropriate. Are you only supposed to rest your hands on the outside of the wheel now?

Unless you have an old system with a pilot light, you are probably dependent on an electric ignition system. Those have been the norm for a couple decades now for propane and natural gas furnaces.
- Comment on Anyone else notice this?? 8 months ago:
For sure, most use oil or propane as a primary heat source when gas isn’t available. But those rely on both expensive fossil fuel and electricity to run, so a backup that doesn’t depend on either is handy, especially with all these once in a century storms we get every year now. Wood makes for a cheap, effective backup. Used to be so common in housing too. Now we just get gas furnaces and gas fireplaces for show. Still, I wouldn’t go out of my way to get a woodstove. I agree that a backup generator is plenty for most situations. But if you have an older home with a fireplace, keep a half cord around and make sure the chimney is clean.
- Comment on Anyone else notice this?? 8 months ago:
As you reach city limits in a lot of cities, it is increasingly likely that you will no longer find gas lines, city water, or sewers. Having a backup heat source is pretty comforting. Much like you, I used to rely on just gas with a generator for backup, but I’ve experienced frozen gas mains, so I like having a woodstove and a couple cords of wood to burn as a backup source of heat. Plus it’s very cozy on damp, cold days, and nicer than the fireplace channel on Christmas.
