Rewriting my easymode #introduction post to serve as a proper intro that's more fitting.

Hi, I'm Casey! I'm a 27 year old substitute teacher, and I'm nonbinary, queer, and I'm polyamorous. Aside from gaming, my big hobbies and passions include fiction and poetry, writing, art, and music.

Since this instance is gaming-centric, I'll talk about this at length!

I've been playing video games since I was about five, back in 2000. I played a ton of NES platformers and was just blown away. We got an N64 in 2001 and the graphics blew my mind. Majoras Mask especially captivated me with its memorable story and characters and it's been one of my all time favorites ever since. It changed my understanding of video games. I started to see them as art. A game's story became vastly important to me. I wanted every game i played to take me on a journey like that game did.

That leads me to the game that got me started on playing games on PC, The Sims. The Sims was amazing to me because it ignited my creative side. I could create the stories and characters myself. I could create this little virtual people and watch their lives play out with all of the silly hi-jinks and dramatic moments that that involved. I credit The Sims with making me a batter storyteller and worldbuilder all these years later, as well as all of the thought provoking and fun stories I've seen in other games.

Here's some favorites of mine from my formative years:

#DOS/Early 90s: SimCity 2000, Link to the Past, Mario 3

#Win98/Late 90s: Ocarina of Time, Quake, Half-Life

#WinXP/Early 2000s: The Sims 2, Majora's Mask, ALICE

Читаю новини, і бачу тут такий заголовок:

"Українцям назвали ризики та переваги Windows XP у 2022 році"

Це що, типу, жарт такий?! 🤯

Ні, я авжеж розумію, що декотрі не можуть змиритися досі з тією думкою, що Майкрософт закопала ХР, але пройшли 8 років після припинення підтримки. Невже компьютери здатні працювати без поломки років 20ть, чи скільки пройшло з першого релізу Windows ХР?

#Windows Defender in #Windows11 now detects IncrediMail's installer packages as a potentially unwanted application (PUA). Microsoft calls it PUA:Win32/Perion.

This is short-term mixed but ultimately very good news, because IncrediMail, a program from the #WinXP days, traps user mail in a proprietary format defying exportability even today, and it uses cutesy features as the bait for that trap.

Am I the only one who still excited and thought Win XP has better UI than its sucessors? My favourite visual style is 𝘌𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘥.
#OS #WinXP

@moonman@shitposter.club One thing I noticed about $EMPLOYER’s #WinXP —> #Win7 —> #Win10 migration is that we had less control of our machines after every upgrade. Which would be very good if we went to VDI, but stinks if you have people connecting from numerous different physical and network environments and something that sounds great in HQ hinders productivity in the field.

I spent a couple of hours last night trying to talk someone through connecting, but her computer could not be connected.
