  1. Usually not that great. I just don't like working in general, though I'll make sure the work is done and not forced on someone else. Also reminded me of this snippet.
  2. Introvert since day 1. Much prefer staying home than going out to do things. Though I like to leave my shell once in a blue moon.
  3. Honestly, probably the 1980s. Some of the older tech at that time had it's own charm, especially the vibe of going into a video store to select a movie or CDs to listen to. I wouldn't be so far back in time that a lot of tech and culture wouldn't be so foreign to me.
  4. Not much, the public schools around here are a complete joke, and caused me to do poorly in college and end up dropping out after a semester. I'm just now going back, 10 years later, to get a degree since I'm much more informed and prepared than I was leaving high school. I know a lot of people press others to do college right after high school, but I think some people just need more life experience or a break from schooling to better themselves and discover what they really want to do before they invest all that time and money (usa) into a field. Plus, if I was telling my past self about doing things different in school, I probably would of ignored it.
  5. I actually ended up trading in that mustang, it's transmission was close to it's end of life and the cost to replace it would of been more worth than the car. I ended up getting a 2021 honda civic sport, it has a small wing on the back and tinted windows. I actually really like it, I'm a bit photosenstive so the tinted windows help during any day driving. It's not bad at night, since the windshield isn't tinted.
  6. As useful as smartphones are, I could see the futurama "eye" episode becoming a reality. Tech companies have been working on the AI/alt reality glasses which could become a possibility, though it probably won't be anything mainstream for another decade or so.
  7. I snapped my right wrist and had to have surgery and a year in a cast. Wasn't fun.
  8. Since I've started online college it's mostly what I do. I enjoy gaming too, but when I was working 45 hour weeks I barley was ever on the computer.
  9. I can agree with most people in the thread that windows 7 was probably the best version of it. Windows XP was really good too though. I don't like windows 11 at all, and I don't think that the next operating system is going to be getting any better. A lot of settings have been out right removed since it either confused certain users or businesses simply didn't like it. I also hated that I had to go look up a command line to get past the windows 11 starting setup, because I didn't have an Ethernet cable hooked up to it and the startup literally will lock you out if you don't have an internet connection, unless you do the hidden command to get around it. So stupid and meaningless. The reason I didn't have an Ethernet hooked up is because I need more room to remove my hard drives, but for whatever reason when reinstalling windows, if you have multiple drives the partition software just doesn't work properly. I was getting BSOD all the time trying to install with multiple drives, and when I got one instant of it working I check the disk management only to see the system files were completely scattered between partitions with different file systems.... So I took all the drives out and installed it on the one and it worked. Long story short I just miss windows 7 Though I learned in cybersecurity class that it takes about 80 seconds for a windows XP computer that is connected to the internet to be breached by attackers
  10. 519339 looks like its just you and me now
  11. I'm pretty sure it was the gameboy advance. I remember having pokemon and donkey kong on it.
  12. The bed of chaos from dark souls 1 was the first thing I thought of lol. Though I'd also say finding the artifacts in metroid prime is not good, it feels nearly impossible to do without some kind of guide.
  13. I caught up with the latest Futurama season cuz I kept seeing shorts of it on my phone. There was some really good epsiodes this season, I think it is the best season since the reboot on hulu.
  14. My bedroom by far. I have my main desktop in here as well as a TV, so I don't really use the living room or the spare room much at all.
  15. For the most apart I prefer eating alone. It can be nice on occasions to eat with others, but for day to day I'd still prefer eating by myself. Usually watching something too
  16. The instant kind is okay, and mostly what I can get. Though I'd like to try some authentic ramen noodles from a Japanese restaurant at some point.
