Aside from getting shot in the head, David, what have you done with yourself?

At least you can put the latest lovely pop band's hits on that.

If only you could make your own tapes with a mix of songs you wanted...

My first MP3 player was one of these:



Ah, the Toshiba Gigabeat F20. 20GB of storage, which I filled with all sorts of low bitrate MP3s downloaded from Limewire. I remember my charging dock never worked properly, but it didn't matter really. It served me excellently until the capacitive touch + thing used to get stuck, so if you wanted to turn the volume up one level it would keep going all the way til max :(

Fond memories of installing Rockbox on it, it blew my mind when I saw you could play DOOM :aaaaa:

Someone else who actually had this? This is also almost the exact post i would have made. I still use mine, actually. I have a smartphone but like the 40GB storage. The screen broke on the first one i had so now I just use it for external storage.

Speaking of obsolete the only computer game my elderly father likes to play is Half-Life 2 deathmatch. I've tried to get him to try newer games but he always goes back to HL2DM. Today I was on his PC remotely to perform some maintenance and I loaded up Steam.

He has played 7,236 hours of that game! That's almost 300 days!

The dude is over 80 and he still sends me screenshots of his high scores, playing against Swedes in the middle of the night.

I don't know how common it is, but Steam keeps games saying they are running after I close them. I have a few games with absurd play time but that is just because Steam is still counting after I close the game.
