List Your Shooters: Part VII

[actaeon277]

I have never really been a gamer, my sons were up until they hit 20? years old.
I had a Gamestop salesman get y with me when my then 12 yr old wanted to buy GTA China Edition for his Nintendo DS.
That game was a learning experience for me.

Most games now are just variations of games that came out in the 70s and 80s.
They just put more effort into the graphics and the audio.

But the play, is mostly the same

I remember a T/F drag racing game me and my brother used to play on a commodore 64 that was pretty cool at the time. I think this was it.

Wow, I want to say we had 600 or 900 when we did dial up to start online.

Wow this thread took a turn I wasn't expecting.

At K-2 in 92-93 we had a 9600 baud modem that connected us to Osan. 175 miles, I was impressed.

I remember party lines, just saying…

 

[Creedmoor]

I remember party lines, just saying…

As a kid our family farm phone, was a 4 digit number and a party line.

 

[MindfulMan]

I still have Ozzie, and he probably still works. Used it for business in 1981

 

[foszoe]

I remember party lines, just saying…

Yes. Drug use skyrocketed in the 70s and 80s

I was just scanning pics at 600 dpi. Each pic was between 800K, and 1.3M.

Ah, What would we do without compression. When I make the texture files for my 3D work, I typically use lossless TIFF formats. Especially when the texture requires 16 bit depth. Before LZW is used, which is a lossless form of compression, the "4K" textures (4096 x 4096 pixels) I mostly use are 48 MB's saved at 8 bits of depth (64 MB's if there is an Alpha Channel). The character in my avatar use several different sizes of image textures. Her body is an 8K material, which in lossless format is well over 100 MB's per image (material will have several image textures).

I’m just disappointed my vagueposting didn’t garner more attention LOL. I’m not a computer guy guy and definitely don’t have a Commodore 64. I was just trying to be first on the new guy who looks to be trolling

When a bil of mine worked for Anderson PD he was given a Mary Kay Pink Ford Taurus.
They called it The Pinkly Clitaurus.
Swear to God..

I believe th B&T routine references the "Pinckley Taurus"
