I assume no one is interested, and yet EVERYONE still needs to see this.

Remember those interactive fish screensavers from back in the day?
The ones were you'd get one fish for free but after you paid a fee you could unlock multiple fish and different types?
Man, those were the days.

They were. I preferred the colored pipes though. It jived with whatever's wrong with my brain.
I could watch those things for hours.

Did you maybe play a lot of DOOM lol
I guess it is kind of claustrophobic at any rate, and boring.

I don't like the maze either, but that's because it reminds me of raw steak or some sort of fatty red meat.

I preferred to play games on my Gameboy and Super NES. My family didn't get a PC until much later than everyone else.

I missed the train on that one. I played DOOM 3, that doesn't really count though.

I can remember going to a friend's house and playing his father's copy of Duke Nukem, that was pretty cool.
The pig enemies scared me a bit but the strippers gave me a giggle.

Ah, my dad was one of the first wave of programmers, like pre-PCs. He probably programmed on a moog or wtvr XD
He also had a small business, so we'd get all these games for free. Pretty much the opposite of your experience.

By far, the trippiest game we ever received was something called "Bad Day on the Midway".
It's what I think Kozi would be, if he were a computer game (without the lags).

I think our first PC came bundled with Age of Empires and had a post-card you could mail away for some other games, I remember getting Croc and some sort of hovercraft racing game that wouldn't work because it was too old for the cutting edge Windows ME operating system we had installed.

I was searching for some materials for class and came across this.

What on earth is that lady doing to the cat in panel 3.

I would push their stuff off the table too though.

I recently heard the most intriguing thing: apparently somewhere in existence there's a recording of Parsifal performed entirely in Japanese, done sometime before 1988. I haven't been able to track down anything at all about it though.

But I love a challenge ::cred::

Unfortunately it wasn't relevant to the topic. :P


Although I did get this exciting answer for a speaking interview recently:

Target: The girl is feeding the rabbits.

Student's answer: The girl is feeding the bitch.

I assume instead of saying 'rabbits', he only had the 'bits' part, which when combined with his accent ended up sounding a lot like 'Bitch'.

Haha bitch is a fun word in french too.

French doesnt have the long 'i' sound in english, so most pronounce 'beach' as 'bitch' and can't really tell the two words apart.
Another fun word is 'focus', which becomes 'fuck us' since they don't have the long 'o' either.
They love using the word too because it's similar to 'focaliser' and easy to remember.

And, on a completely random note, my new manager's last name is D'arcimoles, which sounds almost exactly like saying Darthmaul with a french accent.
That's maybe why they changed it to Dark Maul in the official French releases.

Just so you all know, that picture that Mana posted on the M10M twitter to celebrate 'knee high day' is in Tuileries, and I have sat on that exact same bench.
I had an indirect butt high five with Manasama. I'll never wash it again.

Edit. It's here, in case someone else wants to butt high five me after covid is over.

The real question is whether you have you washed your butt since you sat on the bench and thus invalidated the butt high five.
