A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I cant imagine this game running on a steam library! Lol what were hardrive sizes at the time? Had we even got to gigabytes yet?

around Windows 3.11 you'd be lucky to have 80 or 120 megabytes.. and you'd think boy thats a lot of floppies!

Man I remember how awesome it felt to get a huge thing of floppies. I bought this set that had 20 of each color. Something about it just felt badass, having a shit ton of floppy disks.

It was kind of fun to mix cyberspace contents with physical locations. We don’t do that any more.
