It's amazing that this software managed to work without ads, telemetry or logging in with a Microsoft account.

Horrible user experience. More "tips" about products are needed

Gotta go for the hand. I vaguely recall sometimes it would be animated and another card would poke out of the person's sleeve.

also, the bats flapped, the fish bubbled, the sun smiled and the robot flailed its hooks wildly.

That would all be paid DLC if made today.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It is, in fact, a paid theme in Microsoft's Solitaire collection for mobile.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Of course it is. God dammit.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I think I'm gonna jump off a bridge.

I dunno if I'll be able to afford it, though.

You must not be that old if you remember all that

Got to be inspired by Dark Castle (1986).

Spooky castle. It hurts most of the time.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Palm Trees or Robot, and its my ankle and sometimes my knee

An inversion table can do wonders for joint pain. I know cause I kinda got one for free. Friend moved to Hawaii and couldn't take it with.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Doesn't an inversion table kind of hang you from your ankles? That seems like a dangerous solution for ankle pain, at least.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Only if you set it up to go to 60° or 85°. Mine has settings for 5° all the way up to 85°. You can still get some benefits without hanging by your ankles.

Palm trees all the way. Used to play this at work when they replaced the “toasters” with pcs.

Light blue fishies or spooky castle are mine and fuck you my whole body hurts!....

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

I'm with dumbass ^

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

Joke's on you.

My back hurt when I woke up then.

I was a spooky castle guy, myself. I also played Maniac Mansion so it tracks.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I like the hand holding the cards because an ace would pop out of the sleeve.

No back pain outside of the very occasional knots. Likely from good core strength and a hyperfixation of personal biomechanics

My back doesn't wait until I get up to hurt, that's an all night affair!

I was all about the hand for some reason.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I feel this. Biggest things that helped me:

  • Sleep on my back
  • Use a 12-18 degree wedge pillow for my torso to lay on
  • Pillow under the knees

I tried all these things separately and it didn't help. But together, it worked!

(Use another regular pillow for your head on top of the wedge)

Mine has always been the castle because I always liked how it was animated.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I always chose the beach.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

I always chose the roses.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

if you waking up with a fucked back try bridges https://www.wikihow.fitness/Perform-the-Bridge-Exercise

3 sets of 30 seconds most days fixed mine in a few weeks. you really need to activated your arse.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Robot gang rise up!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Always the beach.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

No it doesn’t. I feel fi…💥

Dagnabbit!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I felt like I'd matured and grown as a person when I decided I preferred the standard pattern to the spooky castle and palm tree on the beach. I was still a child, of course.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

The castle. No back pain so far thanks to a career in mostly office jobs.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

I miss the Windows 95 buttons. We need to go back.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Since i started going to gym and do squats my lower back stopped hurting, thank you very much. But yup my fav was robot one and hand one. I have vouge memory that there was an animation from time to time, but that might be Mandela effect. Good times being a child and pcs being full of magic :3

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I wanted to say the same thing, use it or lose it.

Pain sometimes comes from injury or other mechanism, but loads of people with back pain just need to exercise more.

A strong back will do wonders.

Likewise a strong wrist will resist keyboard pain. It won't tolerate bad typing posture or a crappy keyboard, but it will resist pain with a good ergo keyboard and good posture

You called it, absolutely the manor/castle. I'd forgotten these until seeing this now.

I'd jump around between both fish, castle and beach depending on what I was feeling at the time.

Also my knees hurt.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I like the conch. It's got great colors

I remember vaguely my grandma playing that game.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I am the robot, I cannot feel pain

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Black or blue vine things. They seemed the "realest" to me, but don't seem to get much love.

Can confirm my back currently, and always, hurts.

My parents and grandparents would get weirdly but wholesomely excited whenever they saw the animation on the cards (like the sun on the beach smiling). They all played a lot of solitaire.
