We peaked with screensaver technology with the one with all those pipes

    You joke but way back in the day those 3D pipes caused a little IT chaos...

    I found a few of these old screensavers and another one which lets you have a random selection between like 10 of them. It all still works on Windows 11

    Starfield, 3d pipes and flying toasters are amongst the selection, I couldn't seem to get Jonny castaway working unfortunately

    Puhleeze.

    Homer Simpsons eating my screen was the peak of screen savers.

    Though, I guess it wasn't much of a 'saver' if it was being eaten...

    I miss screensavers.

    God I wish there was a modern day version of that one of the shipwrecked guy on the island, that was all animated and full of story elements.

    Best money I've ever spent on steam is for wallpaper engine. Check it out.

    1. That's only when you specifically turn adult wallpapers on in the search settings

    2. you choose the wallpaper. It doesn't randomly cycle between all wallpapers in the workshop or something. The only reason an adult wallpaper will ever be displayed is if you specifically select it

    Damn, I'm sure we had a computer running Windows 3.1 at some point when I was a kid, but I guess we didn't have any fun stuff. Lol

    I remember playing DOS games, and then there's a gap, and the first windows I remember was probably win95

    I remember 3 things about windows 3.1

    The simplicity of the layout.

    Spending hours ooing and awwing over Encarta Encyclopedia on CD

    and playing a starwars game that I cant for the life of me remember anything about other than flying through a canyon as the first level, and being too dumb and uncoordinated to actually complete the level and not crash.

    Computing was so much more interesting and entertaining back then.. Now its so boring, everything drowning in same-ness.

    Same with shopping, cities, the internet, TV/movies, etc.

    I crave novelty and variety, damn it.

    As an out-of-the-loop 90s-enthusiast, this is exactly what I think of when all these kids on my lawn keep going on about Starfield.

    Looks equally as engrossing.

    I'd rather play Flying Toasters personally.

    Microsoft is also bundling Starfield the game just as they did the screensaver. Included in Game Pass and you can play the PC version on GeForce Now.

    I just found that funny.
