Yeah man, you’re speaking my language. Back when seeing someone as “online” generally meant they were deliberately there, not just that their phone was on

I don’t know man, the kachonk is a valuable part of the experience for me, great tactile feedback
This was literally my first thought on seeing this
I’m so glad to be seeing small and indie web stuff so often lately. I never played with gopher and Gemini. Today might be the day.
Oh man, my oldest brother put this on when our parents were out and all I remember is being terrified of the eyeball in the guy’s palm at some point. Probably my first experience with body horror.
The first time a heater turns on for the year
Man, I miss the golden age of point-and-click adventure games. My brothers and I played through so many together. PC Speaker version of the MI1 soundtrack for maximum nostalgia: https://invidious.nerdvpn.de/watch?v=_cfPw3IL1sk

Happy Carl Sagan Day!
Desert Solitaire by Edward Abbey. I only discovered it fairly recently and it has already become my go-to read whenever I’m looking for some peace and simple natural spirituality with a generous side of denouncing the absurdity of modern culture and overaggressive “progress” and development.
Boy, the trees are really sneezing today.
I like the default one because it reminds me of Netscape and I’m a nostalgic old person
