@zeborah @rynltylr @HilliTech I'm still getting my head wrapped around the idea that younger generations are actually less tech adept in some ways.
This Pink Floyd thing sucks.
Saw Gilmour/Floyd in the 80s, and it was mediocre.
Saw Waters do The Wall at Yankee Stadium in the 00s, and it was incredible.
Saw Mason with a walk-on by Waters a few years ago, and it was mind blowing. But Waters' politics are unacceptable.
All that being said, Fat Old Sun, Green is the Colour, and Crumbling Land are arguably the best Floyd songs. So, kudos to Gilmour and his guitar.
@KateOfMind Apologies for the late reply. I just saw this.
I think I played 90% of the Infocom games in the 80s, and I think about them all the time.
I did not know that there is an ongoing community. This is great!
Thank you!
It's all web based.
I wanted a screenshot from Zork last night and I couldn't find the one I wanted. So, I searched for Zork emulator, and sure enough they exist.
This is great. https://www.pcjs.org/software/pcx86/game/infocom/zork1/

@violetathena @jeffjarvis That is not how it works in the US, and it's not how it is described.
L O L G O PIt's funny how soon nostalgia sets in. My almost three year old keeps telling me about things she did as a "little baby." And true to nostalgia, most of the things she describes never happened.
@chancerydaily Alternate take: oh my god, it's the 30th.
