It's amazing that this software managed to work without ads, telemetry or logging in with a Microsoft account.

Horrible user experience. More "tips" about products are needed

Always the beach.

Gotta go for the hand. I vaguely recall sometimes it would be animated and another card would poke out of the person's sleeve.

also, the bats flapped, the fish bubbled, the sun smiled and the robot flailed its hooks wildly.

That would all be paid DLC if made today.

It is, in fact, a paid theme in Microsoft's Solitaire collection for mobile.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Of course it is. God dammit.

I think I'm gonna jump off a bridge.

I dunno if I'll be able to afford it, though.

You must not be that old if you remember all that

Mine has always been the castle because I always liked how it was animated.

[–] Fredselfish 3 points 1 day ago

I always chose the beach.

I like the hand holding the cards because an ace would pop out of the sleeve.

No back pain outside of the very occasional knots. Likely from good core strength and a hyperfixation of personal biomechanics

I enjoyed the spiral shell, also no back pain unless I pulled a muscle, though that hasn't happened for what feels like almost a year now since I started regularly stretching.

Also being a construction worker has done amazing things for my fitness.

Spooky castle. It hurts most of the time.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

never much cared for solitaire. went straight to doom

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

robot, castle or beach for sure.

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

My back doesn't wait until I get up to hurt, that's an all night affair!

I was all about the hand for some reason.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I feel this. Biggest things that helped me:

  • Sleep on my back
  • Use a 12-18 degree wedge pillow for my torso to lay on
  • Pillow under the knees

I tried all these things separately and it didn't help. But together, it worked!

(Use another regular pillow for your head on top of the wedge)

Palm trees all the way. Used to play this at work when they replaced the “toasters” with pcs.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago

Joke's on you.

My back hurt when I woke up then.

[–] samus12345 6 points 2 days ago

You called it, absolutely the manor/castle. I'd forgotten these until seeing this now.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] Agent641 10 points 2 days ago

I was a spooky castle guy, myself. I also played Maniac Mansion so it tracks.

[–] GreatRam 4 points 1 day ago

I like the conch. It's got great colors

[–] olafurp 11 points 2 days ago

Castle, no pain here

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Hell yeah brother.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

The castle. No back pain so far thanks to a career in mostly office jobs.

Black or blue vine things. They seemed the "realest" to me, but don't seem to get much love.

Can confirm my back currently, and always, hurts.

[–] andxz 1 points 1 day ago

Likewise, on both counts.

[–] ms_lane 9 points 2 days ago

I always chose the roses.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

Ha, joke's on you. My back only hurts after sex.

[–] jaybone 6 points 2 days ago

I miss the Windows 95 buttons. We need to go back.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I felt like I'd matured and grown as a person when I decided I preferred the standard pattern to the spooky castle and palm tree on the beach. I was still a child, of course.
