Author Topic: just had to explain to a kid today what a floppy is. what makes you feel old?  (Read 1728 times)


I had floppy disks in elementary school and I used to not be able to help pulling the little metal thing back and forth endlessly exposing the tape inside and always ended up breaking them.

I also recall a smaller thicker type of floppy that i can't recall the name of that we used to use that was newer than floppies. It might come to me later. And 2 seconds later I remember the zip disks.

Like if you remember what a dvd is.


more like Magnavox Odyssey

When he says "stuff that makes you feel old" I think he is referring to stuff that was around when you were a kid not the oldest things you can think of. N64 was out before you were even born and by the time you were old enough to develop the motor skills to actually play video games PS2 and Xbox were already out.


When I sit at the park and talk to a kid by saying "I once lived here" because the park was once a trailer park that I lived at before a flood decimated it in 1996. It just makes me feel old for some reason.
So Alyx lived when he was 0?


So Alyx lived when he was 0?

I think what happened. Hold on to your seat you might be shocked. Hold on are you stable? Okay take a few deep breaths. Okay here it goes. Alyx is a liar and lies all the time. Tell me if you feel any tingling or suicidal thoughts from the disbelief I will bring you to the hospital.
