It's been a few years now since they died and I still think of my little furry ones as part of my family and talk about them fairly regularly. Having photos of them pop up on our TV slideshow helps keep them alive on our hearts. I'm sorry for and understand your loss and hope their memory brings you more joy than pain. Beautiful pals
Wow, I totally forgot about this one. I used to play it all the time when I was a kid. I think I bonded with it because my family moved to California around that time and I had trouble fitting in (a-la Daniel-san), so I think partially it was my way of simulating being a native as silly as that sounds. Anyway, I had the NES version, but your write-up is making me want to try a Sega ROM of it. Thanks for the nostalgia blast!
Debian 2.2 on a consulting job in 2001. I'd used Unix mainframes in college, but other than that had only ever done work on DOS and Windows before then. Didn't think much of it at the time, though it was familiar and easy to work with. Certainly a far cry from the experience we all have with Linux today.

Would a tan, good night's sleep and a smile work for Bender?
Favorite sci-fi novel... and I figure I'll make a hundred alt accounts eventually just like elsewhere so chose whatever for my first.
For most circumstance, I want to be mid-bell. In the workplace it means I can both learn from and teach others. Oftentimes, I'd prefer expertise in some areas (smartest in room) but lack of knowledge in other areas that I'm interested in but know there are others there who are experts and are willing to help me grow. In social situations I think it's similar, though there I prefer to interact with people who are open, friendly and kind regardless of their intelligence.
And those are all a "deal-breaker in friendships" for you? I think we all realize people find all sorts of reasons to use us-vs-them mindset, that's not really the point of this conversation. What reasons you choose to make your friends or otherwise be decent to someone decides whether or not you're being immature or even a bigot.
For those reasons it reminds me what coming to Reddit in the first place was like. It's really fun to build up a community. It's hard to see compared to what Reddit is now, and the polish you speak of that to me while there are some conveniences or extra features has overall messed up what I liked about it. Lemmy or some other system may or may not ever be as popular as Reddit, but it's way more engaging to be part of a growing community than an oversaturated one IMO. You get to help define what the place will be like to a much greater extent.
I mean, I didn't take notes or anything, but given how much I played, looking back I think it was some sort of coping mechanism. Moving can be tough on kids.
