 Did this ever actually matter? I definitely thought it was super important as a childe.

yep, for data integrity reasons. The FAT32 filesystem is really bad about getting corrupted if you lose power mid-transaction.

My older sister installed a net nanny on the computer to keep me from playing neopets, so over the course of like two weeks I watched her hunt and peck the password until I could replicate the same keystrokes and button presses. It was the very first password I cracked

Yes, I was that kind of a nerd.

spending time trying to figure out if the turbo button was good or bad. something I might misremember: switching between browsers for porn images so it would either start rendering from the top or the bottom. pass sites

My first crack was a BIOS password. Parents put it on the family PC when I was 13 so that they could ground me from video-games / internet. Took me a day to find it written on scrap of paper on-top of the bookshelf. No parents are gonna keep me from my Diablo game!!

AOL provided a working TCP/IP stack. So as long as you were connected, you could shrink it down and use Netscape to browse the web. Altavista was a future of limitless possibilities compared to the AOL portal.

getting on irc in 1992. learning about ircII, a real irc client, in 1994, and learning that it could be run on a Unix-like shell in 1995. as a result of the above, having logs since 1994 - intermittent ones until 1995, persistent since then. learning that opasia chat, a walled garden service not unlike aol, was using irc and was available on leaky-cauldron.opasia.dk.

yep exactly and I had found tools that could create a boot sector with custom text doing the same thing. unfortunately if you did it to a game disk you’d often gently caress the game because most amiga games executed their own bootloaders and code

My mom was fuckin cool and knew a guy at work who sold us a chipped PS1 and 100 disks worth of games written on CDRs. I calculated my list exactly using all the intel I gathered at the grocery store magazine stand and chose my 82 games, meticulously accounting for all of the multi-disk bangers... Except for Metal Gear Solid, I didn't know that was two discs because it's just like 6 hours I watched my older cousin play it over a single rental week during summer break. So instead I received MGS: VR Missions. Raiden and MGS2 was made for me and was the first time I ever truly felt represented by any media.

I occasionally think about two channels on EFnet I chatted in. that was the first time grade/middle school me had essentially pen pals in Europe (but over email!). I tried to look up the real names of some of the people I emailed back then but can’t find anyone . probably for the best.

when I was 8 or 9, my friends older brother had tiberian sun and starcraft, two of the sickest games, but my mom would have looked closely at the "T" rating and it definitely wouldn't have flown in our semi-devout christian household asked grandpa for tiberian sun for my birthday though and we got that contrabrand in sub rosa thanks grandpa. thrandpa
