Well, it is difficult to live without electricity in today's society.

Michigan didn't really get natural disasters except for the rare tornado (and blizzards if you count those). Seattle gets earthquakes. Haven't had one yet, but I'm scared.

There used to be an ancient trend where we only used a single period in smileys .) .D

Did a lot of people lose their eyeballs at that time?

I've known a few people who just make up emoticons. Can be tough for me since I'm face-blind and learn each new emoticon as a word, rather than matching it with a facial expression.

Yep. Someone had to tell me what "orz" meant. I thought it was related to the -zor/-xor ending that people used in the early 2000s.

I'm very much a procrastinator as well, and I also preferred to work at school rather than at home. Home has too many distractions.

Sadly, Redneckistan High didn't have such a thing as "study hall", but I could go to the library at lunch.

*looks at title* Yeah, the Japanese got all kinds of nifty games and devices that we didn't even know about. At least now we can use emulators or order things internationally.

As an 8-year-old BASIC programmer, I would have killed for that Family BASIC thingy

I used to wonder how NES games were programmed, how you could enter code on an NES controller. You know, since the C64 was programmed by typing the code into the C64.

I never was able to get into Pokémon. Tried it for a while, didn't like it.

Amazing, I know.

I didn't get into RPGs until 2008, actually. Might be surprising because of my use of Terra for avatars and such.

My first was FF6.

Roommates do tend to suck. I'd only room with someone I already know (whether in person or online), not a random stranger from the university dorm lottery.

In Germany I had to share a bathroom and kitchen with this guy (Paul, rhyming with howl) who was (a) a neat freak and (b) a slob. At the same time. He left dirty dishes caked with food in the sink for days, but he acted like the world ended if my shower left so much as a molecule of water on the floor. Which was troublesome because the shower stall's doors met at a 90° angle that was not even close to being a watertight seal.

Also, he'd go in there with his buddies, in the absolutely tiny shared kitchen/bathroom that was maybe 50 square feet max, and laugh and talk loudly in German for hours, including early in the morning. But he'd get really pissy if I made any noise at all in the evening.

Sigh.

(Don't worry Anya, I know you and I'm sure you'll be a much better roommate than this guy was.)

I remember that name from back in the day. From seeing you in #kafuka I just assumed you had an account here too

Welcome to the board, AntiSense!

Has Gywall won every previous KCS?

I remember with Jul's JCS, I was the first non-Anya person to win a month.
