I love this picture so much. I had it printed on canvas years ago. It's hanging on my wall.

A canvas with the re-created image of Jack Haegar's Four-Byte-Burger hanging on a white wall. It's a pixel image of a burger that's vertically spread with a 3.5 inch floppy disk in it in front of a blue background.

@der-wizo.bsky.social concert in Zürich, Volkshaus. Amazing and more emotional than I expected. I'm looking forward to their next tour.

View of the whole stage while WIZO played a song. Rainbow lights.

Ralf holding a rainbow colored "Kein Bock auf Nazis" (english: I can't stand Nazis) flag while Axel is speaking.

View of the whole stage. Lights out. Multiple headlights pointed on Axel.

Dark stage zoomed in on Axel who is visible because of a big round beam of light.

Peak browsing experience. You didn't even had to go to websites because somewhere you had a toolbar with that function.

Internet Explorer window. Top half is filled with many toolbars. Bottom half is the Google web search.

Screenshot of Zelda 1. The old man says "It's dangerous to go alone! Take this.". He hands Link over the planesona of SwiftOnSecurity. Link feels great. He knows it's the greatest thing ever.

After all the posts from @quest64official.bsky.social in my feed, I had to buy a copy. Yes, it is Quest 64. The European version is called Holy Magic Century for whatever reasons.
