  • My elementary school was an old Timex watch factory. It was a “temporary” building that ended up lasting 13 years. The only windows in the building were in the office and kindergarten wing. Last I checked, which was over a decade ago, the building had been turned into a firefighter training course.

    So, school being a prison? All I have to do is remember my elementary school days.





  • Wow. That’s a hard question to answer without giving spoilers - but I will try my best.

    The mood changes based on the choices you make. I always feel this overall sense of seriousness because choices do matter. Sometimes it’s funny, sometimes it’s serious, sometimes it gives you a good scare jolt, and sometimes it’s very gory.

    I’m not big on gore, but it isn’t gore for gore-fest sake.

    I’d suggest playing the demo, but they’ve taken it down.

    I’m picky on my horror media, and this is one of my favorites.




  • Not mine, but my dad’s that I was there to witness.

    It was summer (90s) and we were all camping at a lake. My sister and I were playing with some kids while my dad was chatting up the other kids’ dad. Just as I was getting out of the water I hear the other dad exclaim “you remind me of a guy I used to know called [name]!” My dad laughs and says “I am [name].” Turns out they used to go to school together decades before.

    It’s stuck with me all these years, and has somewhat been turned into an inside joke within our family.




  • I have an account on kbin.social, lemmy.world, and sh.itjust.works. They are all linked on my respective profiles. I mainly use this one because .world had some issues where I couldn’t view comments on the connect android app about a year ago so I just switched. I like the app interface because it reminds me of rifgp, so that’s why I’ve never given kbin a fair shake.



  • I remember us having an Atari computer along with some Compac computer running DOS in the late 80s. The computers I grew up with were models that we got for free from my dad’s workplace whenever they upgraded. We ran Win 3.1 until about '98. Win 95 was prevalent in the house until the mid '00s. Due to my dad’s job, we always had a computer of some sort in the house.

    The computers in my elementary school’s computer lab were Apple 2es - in the 90s.

    I didn’t get a cellphone until around 2004/2005, and then it was a hand-me-down from my older sister. The Nokia 5110 - the brick, complete with extendable antenna.
