im literally 15, youre acting like CDs are antique vor smth

the computer isn’t beige enough.

I’m older.

Let’s just leave it at that

I’m hooking two vhs players together to commit piracy old.

This isn’t very old lol. That computer could be from 2010 and CD’s and Sharpies were used then. Also, LimeWire was functional until like late 2010.

Old enough to remember using a 3½” floppy disk to boot my first PC and mess around with GW/Q-BASIC and play DOS games.

The disks were strongly perfumed (I guess the guy I bought my pirated games from liked to do that for some reason), and I still remember that aroma.

Limewire was the shit. But I’m so old I started with Napster

It was great to go to college at a time when Napster and IRC rooms were in prime time, combined with a T1 fiber connection and University IT was too primitive to do anything to monitor or stop the behavior.

I used to pirate games and store them here when I was a kid to play on my commodore 128

You don’t know old until you’ve had to change the IRQ for your sound card because wolf3d.exe’s settings were different than swotl.exe.

…I’m older.

…Oregon Trail older, motherfucker.

Kids, I played Leisure Suit Larry on a Macintosh II

Pre-home internet I remember running a line-in to my soundblaster card from a clock radio and recording Tool’s Sober to my HDD.

The wav file took up a good chunk of the HDD. After a good amount of funking around with encoding it was barely comprehensible and still took up too much room. Was exciting and felt like a glimpse of the future.
