I fart way too much doing yoga to hang out with a bunch of hot flexible chicks while doing it.
I brought class to a screeching halt when I called an androgynous cable a "Boy George cable" no one knew who Boy George was

You notice a Starwars franchise sale on steam. You look down through the list of games. You see "Star Wars Rogue Squadron 3D". You don't remember a Starwars game with 3D in the title. You check it out and think, "Wow these are some flying-brick-with-laser-blaster-graphics, this game is old as fuck." You suddenly realize after looking at a few more screenshots that not only have you played this game, but you beat it when it came out for the Nintendo 64.

My entrance into the PC world was a 386-SX with 640k of ram running pc-dos 5.0 (IBM at the time I believe). The next major upgrade for me at that time a cd-rom drive and a sound card, it really made wolfenstein feel immersive lol

Noobs! I ended up setting up my old 486 SX 25MHz with a folder containing separate copies of Autoexec.bat and Config.sys for each of the games I played. I then also had a .bat file to change both files with one command. For example, if I wanted to play Sim City 2000, I'd just type sc2000 from any directory, then restart the machine, and then run the game. Good times!
Anyway, YKYGOW... you start looking forward to the weekends again for the Bob Ross marathons on Twitch.

Oh we're going down this path....
First computer - TRS-80 Color Computer, with 4k of RAM. I felt I was the pimp when I managed to solder together a bubble memory module to to a 128K upgrade.
First computer most of you would recognize - Apple ][e
First PC - 8086 based, no actual hard drive, was fancy because I snagged a "math co-processor" for it.

The ONLY good thing about my body is my teeth and gums. Haven't been to the dentist in ten years and not even a hint of a cavity or weird inflamed gum/puss thing that my buddies talk about.
I'm good for another 20 years if my teeth keep up.

Young whippersnapper, I started on a 8086 with a 10MB HDD and a 5.25" floppy. Black/white screen too.
PC1512 - Wikipedia
Before that I had a Commodore 116 Commodore 16 - Wikipedia and before that I had an Atari VCS2600.
I didn't get into CD-ROM territory until I had a 486-SX/25 which I later upgraded to a 486-DX4/100. This was the era where optimizing your HIMEM and stuff was important to get your games to run.
I also had a 1st gen Atari Lynx and that thing ate batteries like a fat kid eats candy.
Get off my lawn.
