  • We had a terrible old LCD projector we hooked the Dreamcast to for Quake III arena. It would overheat so you couldn’t keep the back on. To block the light and cool it down, we’d sit it in the window with a box fan behind it and taped cardboard up around it.

    It lit up the entire street in front of my house.

    Most of the guys i played with are dead now.

    I’ve been playing Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 a lot recently and I wish so bad I could go back with the skills I’ve devolved and beat them.

    Time flies and nothing is permanent. I really miss those guys bad sometimes. Been hitting me hard recently.


  • It is crazy how fast time goes by, especially if you deal with some kind of trauma. I swear, my divorce was almost a decade ago and I’ve been with my current wife almost as long. Feels like a year maybe. It just slips through your fingers.

    I was around 20 when that pic started circulating. I was definitely addicted to counter-strike at that time.


  • Everybody being mean to you, but I ate at the same Chinese joint all my life. Chicken lo mein special was 6 bucks for most of my life.

    I ordered the same special a few weeks ago and it was nearly 20 bucks.

    After covid the restaurant went downhill as far as cleanliness goes too. For a couple years you’d call in your order and grab your food from a table blocking the door. They only take cash and they trusted the public to pay and then reach into a basket to collect their change. That meant a lot to me so I ate there pretty often.

    Once they opened back up though, I went in and the floors didn’t look like they’d been mopped the whole time. I thought, “maybe people were excited to come back and that’s why it’s so dirty.”

    Nope. Still hasn’t been mopped.
