@dysfun so, in a way, that computer wound up giving me a career that did not involve being shot at because you were there to take methheads' kids away

@ariadne there's probably still jobs in taking methheads' kids away, mind

@dysfun oh yes, but there is a lot of danger in it

@ariadne there's a lot of danger in being unable to pay for rent and food

@dysfun indeed? hence the career change. which happened *because* of ircd.

@ariadne I used to bike there in college to browse the sale bin.

Bought TrackMania: Sunset there, and Crashday.

Those were the days.

@ariadne suddenly remembering getting up early on a Saturday to be sure to get there before they open just to make sure you get one of whatever it was that was on special sale that weekend

@ariadne I wonder if they ever fixed the buffer overflow in Pirch's DCC feature. I tried to report it but I was like 16 with undiagnosed ADHD and never chased it up, and I don't think they ever pushed out a new version?
