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

[–] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 weeks ago

Then Clippy came along…

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

[–] grozzle@lemm.ee 31 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That would all be paid DLC if made today.

[–] addison@programming.dev 13 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago

Of course it is. God dammit.

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks 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

Spooky castle. It hurts most of the time.

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!....

[–] midori@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

I'm with dumbass ^

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 weeks ago

Joke's on you.

My back hurt when I woke up then.

[–] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] Dearth@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] shasta@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks 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.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

I always chose the beach.

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

I always chose the roses.

[–] quoll@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Robot gang rise up!

[–] MadBob@feddit.nl 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks 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.

No it doesn’t. I feel fi…💥

Dagnabbit!

[–] cordlesslamp@lemmy.today 8 points 2 weeks ago

Always the beach.

[–] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

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

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

[–] Pencilnoob@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks 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

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

[–] Vedlt@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

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

Also my knees hurt.

[–] GreatRam@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I like the conch. It's got great colors

[–] TheKracken@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Hell yeah brother.

[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 weeks ago

I remember vaguely my grandma playing that game.

[–] grumpo_potamus@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks 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.

I am the robot, I cannot feel pain

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

never much cared for solitaire. went straight to doom

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

It was the fishies. To be fair I was really young. But I expect my back to hurt in the morning too instead of just the afternoon any year now.
