I miss screensavers.

God I wish there was a modern day version of that one of the shipwrecked guy on the island, that was all animated and full of story elements.

Best money I've ever spent on steam is for wallpaper engine. Check it out.

[–] A_Random_Idiot 7 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I just looked at wallpaper engine and..uh.. yeah, thats an awful lot of semi-naked cartoon women.

Soooo.. I think I'll pass.

[–] Sarie 13 points 10 months ago

Don't worry, there is naked cartoon women too.

  1. That's only when you specifically turn adult wallpapers on in the search settings

  2. you choose the wallpaper. It doesn't randomly cycle between all wallpapers in the workshop or something. The only reason an adult wallpaper will ever be displayed is if you specifically select it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

That and you can also straight up remove them from the search with a setting.

Screensavers still exist in Windows, you know. I use one for my OLED.

I would sit and watch that thing like a movie lol.

I spent many hours while home sick just lying down and watching Johnny Castaway. I've had his hum stuck in my head... forever.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I don't remember this one

Damn, I'm sure we had a computer running Windows 3.1 at some point when I was a kid, but I guess we didn't have any fun stuff. Lol

I remember playing DOS games, and then there's a gap, and the first windows I remember was probably win95

[–] A_Random_Idiot 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

I remember 3 things about windows 3.1

The simplicity of the layout.

Spending hours ooing and awwing over Encarta Encyclopedia on CD

and playing a starwars game that I cant for the life of me remember anything about other than flying through a canyon as the first level, and being too dumb and uncoordinated to actually complete the level and not crash.

Computing was so much more interesting and entertaining back then.. Now its so boring, everything drowning in same-ness.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Same with shopping, cities, the internet, TV/movies, etc.

I crave novelty and variety, damn it.

[–] A_Random_Idiot 3 points 10 months ago

tell me about it.. Like, in the 80s and 90s when stores had wild and radical design asthetics and were awesome places to wander around... and now they are all the same boring off white blandness.
