@@CluelessPanther Nah, I'm Polish so we had and still have a very different education system. On top of this my elementary school was very small (50-70 kids from local villages), co-funded by parent's foundation because it didn't get enough subsidies. We had old PCs, some couldn't even run Win XP so Win 98 was still in use. Even if those PCs could run games, app installation was admin-blocked. Thankfully nowadays it's much better in terms of funding and modern equipment for schools than it was in the 2000s, joining the EU helped a lot with tons of funding especially for poor regions like mine~
@TheHiddenMarty Oh wow, thanks for sharing. Fascinating how the community pulled resources together to fund the school; I'm all for it. I guess I was more fortunate because I grew up in the third largest city in Ghana, and my dad got us a desktop computer at home when I was little. We even had this dial-up internet that allowed us to play online games on the Disney website. Kim Possible's skiing game was one of my favorites. There was also a Lilo & Stitch surfing game.
@@CluelessPanther We had that internet too~ I still remember the dial-up beeping sounds~ It's always fascinating to learn how people in other places in the world live their day-to-day lives. It's rarely taught in schools but I think it should be because learning that humanizes people of other cultures. It removes fears of the unknown which are often abused by politicians for their personal gains.
I agree with you on that. Thankfully, independent media is superseding mainstream media and that has opened a whole new world of connection that cannot be hindered, except by the very algorithms bringing us together.
Nice~! I played Minesweeper so many times because Windows built-in games were only games on our school computers back in the day~
@TheHiddenMarty Were you in a boarding school?

13:46 That's another reason why I flag. Even if you right-click a flagged cell, it doesn't bomb (that is if it is actually a bomb)
You're right, but that slows me down so much when I'm playing. I'd rather rely on my precision to save me the time.
@elorm_adukonu left-click, you mean
6:53 I got a shout-out, yay 😁
Yes, absolutely. I made this video because of you.
Nice
Thanks
I could never
It's actually pretty easy when you get a hang of it.
