  • You mean the original original ones? Yeah… they were honestly really icky and rather bad for typing on at speed. I type normally at 150+ wpm and the response speed was lacking and only slowed me down. Cleaning them was… not really an option. Not unless you wanted to spend a lot of time painstakingly taking the keycaps/membrane off and carefully putting it back. I’m honestly surprised to hear that anyone would want to recreate that fucking abominable experience. masochists







  • Boom Blocks - Wii - top of my list. Not because it’s a good game, but because my kids and I had uproarious hours spent playing it together.
    Video game I have not yet figured out the name of. It came out in 1986(ish?) and it had a robot/cyborg in a kind of metroidvania level set. Macintosh.
    Doom, the original. Scared the PISS out of me. Then I played it hardcore after that. Doom II came out and I set up LAN parties and opened up my nascent IT outsourcing business for those. Helldivers 2 - Honestly, I haven’t actually engaged with a game this hard for decades. Senua’s Sacrifice - This game helped me considerably, in understanding the people I love. Doom 2016 - What’s not to like. It’s perfect. Starcraft II - When it came out. Excellent weaving of story and gameplay. HI-FI Rush - Unexpected fun. Zork - I would have never expected this level of amazing story telling this many years ago.
    I know I am short of 10, but I can’t think of anything else.
