@robey i really enjoyed the storm troopers applauding them for saving the explodinium shipment as triumphant music plays --- the genuine recognition tinged with the irony of their sinister purpose which would ultimately cost all of those people their lives. that is some fucked up writing! <3

@stevej I love this idea! You could run Ultima and Wing Commander so hard. Tho i confess the 486 DX2/66 will always be "the best computer" in my heart. <3

"the sun emoji should be wearing sunglasses! like on raisin bran!"
"no honey the raisin bran sun doesn't have sunglasses. that's a mandela effect thing. we already fought about this. oh god you don't remember"
@robey hahaha mine also does this! It's like "let's clean up these four photos, that's like several MB!" "oh really, what about the 20GB of podcasts from 2017? you don't feel like those might be a bit more bang for buck buddy?"
@robey "no! please! not the briar patch!"
