the manner in which warez was traded on AOL

well you just solved a 27 year old mystery for me. i went over to a friend's house as a kid, and his older brother was playing DOOM II. he explained that you could just download the game from aol.

so i told my folks that you could get software for free on aol, and they were like... 'uhhhhhhh, sure kid.' so i tried to prove them wrong by searching aol's weird file hosting system, but of course, there was only fan art and other bullshit for DOOM.

i always wondered how that was set up back then

SNICK was the coolest poo poo in the 90s. Me and my friends would make an event of watching it when we were like 7-8ish. It was a bit of marketing wizardry to make that feel edgy and cool alongside selling Mattel toys or whatever.

can confirm. just as i was approaching an age that was too old for nickelodeon, they were like 'these shows are for mature young adults only!' and it completely worked

i stayed after school in 3rd grade so i could program a logo script that animated

AC / DC

onto the screen, in colors. then did hypercard games through middle school

didn't touch programming again until grad school, and now app sales pay my bills

my first time installing new hardware, specifically a voodoo 3 2000 so I could play deus ex :allears: cut the poo poo out my hand in our crappy gateway case

when we read instructions on how to open our powermac 9500 it said to be careful because it usually made people bleed

we laughed and then all proceeded to cut our hands one-by-one on that cursed box

to be fair i had an xplod

in the music studios at my old university, we used someone's home-made XPLOD speaker as a doorstop

it was a box of nailed-together plywood, with that gaudy red XPLOD speaker. we found it on the side of the road and gave it a second life

also tidal kept recommending music i’d never listen to. it’d see me listening to pink floyd and death metal and recommend my lil pump

this was my favorite moment when i tried apple music. it looked at my library of space rock, 70s prog, metal, and indian classical music, and it recommended five songs...

...four of which were the same cristina aguilera song

yeah they focus on like, not ipads and stuff for obvious reasons but they also offer advice for those



the engineering students on my campus do this and it rules. they just set up a tent in the common area and all the old people in the neighborhoods surrounding it haul in bigass fans and rice cookers and it's a big 'ol party
