Quick Blog Update
Hi,
As you might have noticed, I'm no longer posting as much as before. It's not because I don't like this blog. I love it and I love Blogger. I just don't have that many things to share, and I'm aware it's never going to reach a wider audience. It's my tiny blog and always has been.
Nowadays, I tend to post on my primary website, Paranormalis.com. There, I reach a larger audience. People that I actually know and interact with. It feels more rewarding and creates more value than posting things here, in a vacuum.
I also started posting on Medium.com as a personal experiment, to see if the kind of articles I write can generate revenue. It's an exciting adventure, but I'm not very consistent. Still, I'm trying to push forward and keep the ball rolling. I must have made about $0.50 up to now. More than zero...
So, here are a couple of links where to find me.
Paranormalis.com:
Paranormalis | The Paranormal and Time Travel Forum
Medium.com:
Num7 - Medium
I'll certainly keep posting here once in a while. Not just right now, or on a regular basis.
See you around!

Memories of Downloading Games in 2000
The year was 2000 - or was it 1999? It was in the good old days of the Internet. When it was still somewhat new and special. Special, in the sense that not everyone had access to it. Unlike today, you had to be clever to find the good stuff.
Being the teenager I was, I'd spend most of my time downloading game demos from various sites that do not exist anymore. They're just distant memories now. I remember how exciting and endlessly compelling it was to open Netscape Navigator or an old ass version of Internet Explorer, then head to weird sites from which you could download game demos and whatnot. Anything could happen!!
I'm going to share a couple of memories I have of those bygone days.
First, I was able to trace back one of the best sites I'd download stuff from. It was "Electric Games". Here are 2 screenshots:
Look at that list, man. Doom, Doom95. Duke Nukem. Holy cow the memories.
