I actually MISS playing Pong with my father and grandfather.

Funny how switching the RCA channel selector to '3', breaking our the paddles, and playing Pong with family can be missed nearly a half-century later.

@stux I've played first-in-genre games which are now so obscure, people only know of the game which popularized the genre.

It's definitely a weird feeling how much has become purely historical.

The moment 256-colour graphics were new. The moment multi-channel audio was new. The moment floppies stopped being used for most things (still used for some! WHY!?)

What else will simply disappear into the past? And will this be before floppies go away or after?

What about fax machines?

@justafrog @stux Fax machines likely won't go away anytime soon because Japan (and things like banks).

@lanodan @justafrog @stux fax machines won't go anywhere because #Germany and German bureaucracy 🙃
