ClipperDefiance@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What’s an outdated piece of tech you still use and love?English3·3 months agoI am sorely lacking in Atari. I would’ve had one if my grandparents hadn’t thrown out my dad’s 2600 when they were cleaning out their attic.
I’m only a little older than Saturn and PlayStation (based on their Japanese release dates). I get what you mean though. It’s definitely weird when you realize that there are adults that have never experienced the things that were integral aspects of your own childhood. I have cousins who’ve never used a VCR, meanwhile I still have the one our grandfather bought me in the late 90s.

Mine’s orange and I modded it with an IPS screen (because I’ve been spoiled by modern backlit screens). My main reason for buying it was for Klonoa.

I also have some old A/V stuff, like a small collection of CD Walkmans and most of the pieces in my stereo system (the turntable is new, but everything else is pretty old). I buy a lot of old electronics from thrift stores because I really just love playing with them.

ClipperDefiance@lemmy.worldto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Media Software replacements for Windows?English5·3 months agoI wouldn’t recommend Clementine since it’s unmaintained. You might want to consider Strawberry instead, which is an updated fork of Clementine.
That having been said, I actually use Audacious because I like using old WinAmp skins.
ClipperDefiance@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the origin of your username/nickname?English4·4 months agoClipper Defiance was a Boeing 707 operated by Pan Am. Its main claim to fame was when on February 7th, 1964 it brought The Beatles to America for the first time.

What an absolute nightmare. They play like an online cheater. It’s just back to back sub and special weapons. There’s almost no room for error. I gave up after like thirty tries because the reward just wasn’t worth the stress and frustration.
Mom’s side of the family is Catholic and my dad’s side is super reserved, so I got nothing. Anything I know comes from school health classes (which were actually really informative) and the internet.
My mom also believes that this sort of thing shouldn’t be taught in schools (at all) because it should be up to the parents to decide what their kids should know about the subject. She also says that her parents never taught her anything.
