Ask Lemmy

I had Empire Strikes Back bed Sheets

Younger than the iphone 👶

That's me on the left with my sister. The cat was called Thomas. Any guesses as to the 'pc' ?

I remember watching TV as a kid and deciding that, when I grow up, I want to be just like:

A) Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman,

B) that hot Mountie from Due South, and

C) The Littlest Hobo

First manned space flight.

AIM away messages and the passive flex of who has the best 'buddyprofile' that may or may not link to a livejournal or xanga page

I watched the Challenger disaster on the wheelie TV cart

The first time i typed a paper for school i used a typewriter. The last time i wrote a paper for school i used Openoffice.

Older than 9/11, but not by enough to remember much more than the stories about going balls to the walls on acting assimilated to the country I was living in so we wouldn't stand out as Americans because the consulate was worried some locals might try taking hostages to support the terrorists.

I watched more than a couple movies i knew would be bad because Peter Cullen was doing some voice work in them

TVs have a UHF switch so I can finally watch more channels. I really hate putting tinfoil on the rabbit ears and opening the window to sometimes get these new channels though, but they work better if I hold onto the antenna. It's hard to see what I'm watching if I do this, but at least I can mostly hear what they're saying, and the picture is dark anyway, so even if I could see at this angle, it would be too dark and snowy.

Elders scrolls v is the first game I played

I'm barely able to remember watching Star Wars in the summertime in the theatre.

I'm almost a full year older than the NES, but almost a year younger than the Famicom.

I remember watching the Berlin Wall coming down on the news. I don't remember the Challenger explosion (edit: though I was alive for it, to be clear). I was out on my own during 9/11, worried as hell about being drafted. Whether or not I am gen-x depends upon which of the dates for its end you choose.

I was alive when the when there were more than 8 elevens.

I was sixteen days old when the world ended and we were all thrown back into the stone age.

First computer only had a teletype, no screen. Oh and paper tape memory.

I started using computers on windows 10 (I am now a proud Kubuntu user)

My childhood is having Carameldansen be a popular meme, and then having that promptly taken away.

EDIT: I also witnessed the birth and the death of "Vine".

I tried to make a portal to Aether.

Vic-20, Atari 600 XL, zx-81.

In that order

I still shoot film and I still have a record player.

First smart phone was an iPhone 5S.

Guess my age?
