Going T. Maine@pbump and then, I assume, you died

Black and white? Luxury! What we wouldn't have given to play games in black and white.
We had green and black, and we counted ourselves lucky.

Matteo Giglioli@BenAveling @pbump we were evicted from our Commodore64: we just had to recite strings of zeros and ones to each other. In the dark.

@pbump back in my day, you had a friend play piano while you played to add some sound to the gameplay
Mans R@pbump It was green text on a black background.
Carlos Rodríguez@pbump We played with squared notebooks and color pencils in the school yard, it took a long time to play.
"Ok, listen here, you knee-high-to-a-grasshopper little..." 🤣
And then after some consideration,
"Actually, kinda yes, but it was called 'The Manhole.'"

transcendentape@pbump Frankly, I’m surprised a six-year old would even know that black and white was a thing
CauseOfBSOD@pbump at least there wasn't the chat reporting thing (man, at least make it opt in for servers, and allow server admins to tell vanilla clients to _not_ sign messages, or redirect the reports to the server mod team rather than M$)
Funny Tidal Wave@pbump In the old days we played Minecraft on stone tablets.
Thomas Keepout@pbump Good thought. I remember pong,.
Tim Aidley@pbump When I was six my question to my Dad was "Dad, when you wrote your book, did you use a pencil or did they have pens by then?"
Karmic justice was restored may years later after a conversation with my young stepdaughter:
"Tim, why do a lot of old people have glasses?"
"Well, as you get older your eyes get more difficult to focus, and most people need glasses once they get old."
"But you don't have glasses"
I was 30 years old.
Alice 🔥 End Of An Era@pbump Oof ouch owie now I feel old
Riley S. Faelan@pbump: "No, it was all green wireframe!"
