if you read the comments below Obsidian Ants latest video it is quite clear why that is

The doom is strong with those comments.

i dont watch youtube streamers though. (cept sometimes Drew but his are more lore-ish).


side note: I'm not sure if this is new or odyssey in general related. . but entering the carrier management HUD causes your cargo scoop to close. that's super annoying and totally unnecessary.

Epson 86s - Two 5 and a quarter floppy drives - DOS on one and learning to build databases with Cobol on a second disk - save on a third. Now those were real floppy disks, not those 3.5inch things. 720kb if you were lucky enough to have the right hardware. And IBM did the full height version which you then had to take a spanner to in order to re-align it so it would read disks again.

I didn't when I lived there - but it changed much over the years and even visiting my parents up until a few years back the place felt pretty alien to me. I guess it is just the way we change - going into the middle of the city from 'home' on the Suffolk / Norfolk border, then from the Valleys when I moved to Wales after my dad died... I think being used to clean air was the major issue!

For me I love the excellent transport links. Bristol Airport / Temple Meads are well connected, have a Burger King (at B.Airport) and Meads has a wicked pasty shop in the underground 'hall' area when I'm always running for the evening train to Taunton.

When I'm on UK soil and the wife can't see its proper food time :D

Funny, I always thought real disk drives were 8", single sided, with multiple proprietary formats, and a team of maintenance techs per drive.

The next level of fun like this is then figuring out how much you can strip down your linux kernel whilst still being able to run a java VM on it - or any VM actually - once infected with this idea to minimize the kernel and put a VM on top of it, one might get infected with the creation of own VMs for all kind of specific purposes- and of course one will again fiddle with the linux kernel - this is somewhat addictive so be careful trying.

(un)fortunately I have wasted all those years of preparations: my childhood in front of Commodore 64, then teenage years at PC, then years of studying at technical university:
I have been working in IT for ca 6 months, then I moved to Germany, where I noticed demand for some other, easier and stress free services, opened my small firm (with an old laptop, printer and the cheapest office room I could find), then I made a few people work for me so I could finally play "the boss" aka do nothing at work.

All this eventually made computers a post-work fun for me again.

I have absolutely regressed in most of IT skills and I find it... delightful!

Thanks to that my mind had opportunity to fill all this empty space with so much useless nonsense that I love.

So: "fun" for me is something absolutely different then tinkering with VMs ;)
