There used to be a water park in my hometown that had a bunch of slides and a wave pool. I used to go there all the time as a kid, and even went there as a senior on a trip. I went to birthday parties there, sometimes....
I have been joking to a couple of friends today who were also redditors that I've been feeling withdrawals from reddit throughout the day. Like I knew I was addicted, I just never thought I was going to have to face the consequences of withdrawals!...

DOS detectives, help! This screenshot brought up lost-yet-vivid childhood memories, and of course I went looking... only to find this "The Haunted Manor" appears nowhere on archive.org, doesn't come up on Google, doesn't seem to exist on MobyGames, and has no hits on YouTube. I can't find any evidence of a DOS developer called "Fiendish Software" either.
Curiously enough, I still own the cover disk for this issue of PC Review, but not the 5.25" that would have this game on it. The version I played as a child was just an executable on a generic floppy disk, probably downloaded from a BBS.
I've already gone through a half-dozen Night Owl compilation discs trying to find the game, without luck. Please send help so that I do not have to explore any more of these interminable shareware archives I beg you
Still have no idea how to get followers on #mastodon. Teach me your ways! Follow me if you like #retrogaming, #80s / #90s#nostalgia, #tech / #cyber related stuff, and #dog pics! Keep me away from Twitter, I beg of you.
Our first computer was an IBM, and the first pc game that i remember is called Kindergarten, i wish i remembered more about it though, i would love to watch on youtube and get a nostalgia boost haha
🟥⬛ Within our collection, we proudly house three rare household computers, the Oric Nova 64, specifically adapted for the Yugoslavian market from the Oric Atmos (Tangerine Computer Systems, 1984). One of these units is particularly fascinating due to its inclusion of engraved Yugoslav (YU) characters. 😍
It is rainy, but the couple in the secluded Italian alleyway do not notice because they have eyes only for each other. His fedora and her cloche hat give a retro, nostalgic feel, but the sense of romance is timeless.
🦕🖥️ The Lear Siegler ADM-3A terminal (1976) looks like it's straight out of The Flintstones 😃 We received it 12 years ago from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, and it dates back to the times before the influential VT100 terminal.
📸 Upon your request, here are additional photographs showcasing this exquisite piece! 🇸🇮 The Slovenian Iskra Delta "Triglav" computer is a testament to Slovenia's remarkable contributions to computing, adding significantly to the prestigious Iskra Delta series that debuted in the 1980s. 💻🌟
🎮🐱 The Atari Lynx (Lynx II in the photo) is the first portable console with a color screen from 1989. Like many others, it unsuccessfully attempted to compete with the Game Boy, even though it has several advantages over it:
🌈 Backlit 4096-color LCD with a resolution of 160×102.
💥 A special chip for hardware-accelerated graphical effects.
👈 Left-handed mode.
I’m on a journey home to Skye from Aberdeen. I left that city by train yesterday at ten in the morning. I’m snowbound in a hotel with still a hundred miles to go to home. There is a coach due here at a quarter to eleven. I hope to get on it.
I went to a funeral. It was an occasion full of reminiscence, friends and family, sadness and celebration. I remade the acquaintance of my childhood home. This is a photograph from the train. The poem fits my mood
A "medical freedom" momfluencer is using a clip from "The Brady Bunch" to rally her followers against the MMR vaccine. In the episode "Is There a Doctor in the House," all the Brady kids get measles and enjoy a few days off school. Cases of measles are on the rise in the U.K. and U.S. and Natasha Crowcroft, who advises the WHO on MMR, says the disease's seriousness shouldn't be dismissed since even healthy kids in high-income countries with good healthcare have a one in 1,000 chance of dying from it. “If I said one in 1,000 people who eat this yogurt would get a severe allergy, that product would be off the market,” she told Salon.
Hi. First post on this account. Very recent late Dx #ActuallyAutistic here. Special interests in my bio. Probably should include Autism as a special interest because I'm still in that phase. Nice to meet you. 👋
What’s a place from your childhood that doesn’t exist anymore?
There used to be a water park in my hometown that had a bunch of slides and a wave pool. I used to go there all the time as a kid, and even went there as a senior on a trip. I went to birthday parties there, sometimes....
OC Any other former redditors feeling grief?
I have been joking to a couple of friends today who were also redditors that I've been feeling withdrawals from reddit throughout the day. Like I knew I was addicted, I just never thought I was going to have to face the consequences of withdrawals!...
Which is the first PC game that blew your mind?
For me it was definitely DOOM 2! Miles ahead of anything else I had played before.
Which childhood videogame is your playing tradition?
Every year, I will put christmas music and sit to play Super Mario Bros on the NES at least once, since I grew up with it.
What was your first PC game ever, and how did you react to it?
Our first computer was an IBM, and the first pc game that i remember is called Kindergarten, i wish i remembered more about it though, i would love to watch on youtube and get a nostalgia boost haha
