If you were able to watch more than a minute and a half of that video you are made of stronger stuff than I.

    You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    I love how you hear sounds coming from the game despite there being no speakers connected to the computer.

    The sadness will last forever.
    Floppy discs are funny looking. :D

    Back in sixth grade, we had to try and use WinZip to compress our PowerPoint presentations so they could fit on floppies.

    Thinking about this makes me feel old, even though this was only 10 years ago.

    Man, copy protection these days is so boring and innocuous compared to what they had back then.

    WELCOME TO THE END OF THE COMPUTER AGE

    Oh man, I remember having to cart everything around on floppies back in the day, since I was too po' to afford a Zip drive. My brother and I used to see how many random DOS utilities we could fit on a single 1.44 MB floppy, back in the day. This turned out to be pretty useful.

    Oh, and the machine I'm typing this on at work has a floppy drive in it, despite being from the late 2000s. Wut.

    Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
    So if you see a game you like and you really wanna try it,
    Don't go to the store and buy it, just copy that floppy!

    Wait a minute...

    Funny how that video came out around the time Apogee and iD were encouraging that sort of thing... :lol:

    Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I had a pirated copy of Star Control on floppy, I was a real bad dude.

    Bad enough to copy floppies, anyway.

    Smoking, drinking, doing drugs? That's too much for me. I just copy floppies.

    Maybe later. It's almost fourth period and I do not want to get caught out here.

    Floppies are still useful for a couple things, Lee.

    You can throw them at people like ninja stars.

    I was thinking as a cheaper alternative to flashdrives to carry .txt files on. But that also works.

    Lazuli: They are, mainly related to a few utilities that still require DOS to work (because no one likes EFI except Apple).

    Except that most modern computers don't have floppy drives.

    Not to mention that floppy disks are much easier to ruin than flash drives.

    Anyone else ever get that little metal slidey thing just bent enough to get the disk stuck in the drive? -_-
