Today was mostly the same as other days, though now adays they include talking to various people here on space hey (which has been so much fun!). Honestly getting to know some of the people here has cemented this place as one of the best social media networks for me, I really feel at home, so thanks, everyone!


I've been trying to keep my friends list fairly small as I really want each person in my friends list to feel like a friend! no need for hundreds of people if 90% of them do not interact with me at all, its not like I'm following for bulletins yknow?

Also! while looking through some old media I had laying around, I came across something I've been looking for for years, a game I thought was lost to time, a game I even considered maybe lost media as I couldn't find it ANYWHERE on the internet (even its name) for the longest time: 

Dino battles for the PC. WOW it was such an awesome thing to find again, I obviously immediately tried to run it on my computer, which failed, googling the name of the game (now that I had it) came up with similar issues, this thing CANNOT run on windows 8 or beyond, what a bummer. Left with few options, I tried something drastic..


rebuilding the old family computer. Frankenstein it, if you will. I knew it still had windows 7 installed and frankly I was curious what may be on the  hard drive as is.  Alas, the power supply in its many years of age has failed, and so despite it almost coming to fruition, no dinosaur battles for me today. 

There is someone on Facebook marketplace clearing out an office, likely there will be computers there, I may go n try to snag a few for parts, we'll see. if I do, I'll update everyone.


Stats class continues to be boring but fine, not much else to report I suppose. 


Cya next time!

hopefully you can manage to make it work and relive nostalgia! i've been on a mission to unearth old gadgets from my childhood and was lucky to find that my old digicam and mp3 still worked. although my SanDisk mp3 now has a pretty weak battery, i can listen to it for maybe an hour 'till i need to recharge it.

i also found my old PSP but the battery is dead dead while my gameboy color just needs some batteries. i don't have the tech skills to go in and fix any of these but I'll def enjoy them for a time for as long as they last

yeah! I use a flip phone and my old DSI from when I was 7 still, as well as my 2012 sony cybershot, actually all the photos in this were taken with that camera!! I totally get the want to pullback to old gadgets. I even recently went out to get a CD player from goodwill hehe

i love to hear it!! also thx for the add! i never expected our old stuff to provide such a comfort these days (sadly my dsi got trashed but in a well-loved kinda way). i'm liking how using old tech gets me to slow down a bit more and now I'm debating on if i should get a new mp3 player or see if i can cop a deal on portable cd player lol.
