I wish that I could have had the foresight to practice proper data hygiene and backup procedures when I was like 8 so that my brother and I could look at all our old creations.

I did! But it wasn't because of good planning. It was because of autism and the inability to delete anything.

I "programmed" a massive choose-your-own adventure game in powerpoint by using slide links on buttons, and I really wish I could recover that, too... I distinctly remember there being a path where you could be eaten by a banjo.

It'd be one thing if I could maybe go scrounging through my parents basement to find my old PC and image the hdd, but I was such a notorious tinkerer, I was swapping PC parts around constantly and installing a new flavor of linux like every 2 months, so everything is well and clearly wiped many times over.

Even now that I have gotten into photography, looking back, my parents got me a crappy little digital camera in like 2001, and I really wish I could look back at those photos. They never got uploaded anywhere and who knows where they went.

Right? Hearing the "Oh no" of the undo button made me realise I've been quoting a random app for 30 years.

The mid 90s nostalgia is strong with this one

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes, it definitely still wasn't on the school computers a decade later. /s

I remember it from good times in the early grades, and from the time I misclicked it in a later grade during some pretty serious assignment and it fucking screamed through the lab, haha.

I was one of the children who grew up positively impacted by this game.
