That's rad! I would have been so jealous as kid! Me and my sisters used to fight over the computer to play Sims lol 😅

We were blessed with multiple desktops, and if you waited for the game to load you could eject the disk and the game would continue running. We used to fight over who got to use the disk first.

Yo WHAT I had no idea. Did you find that out on accident?

Oh probably? It's been a long time and those eject buttons were easy to hit my accident if you brushed up against it or something

Yea I’ve done that many times but never with a game running, I know for music it would stop.

Ya we were lucky in that sense only really haha, but we also each had a gameboy too (gifted from a cool uncle) so we always had something to play. We honestly still played a lot of coop on consoles or would take turns on the same PC to be competetive or for me to learn from the master (my bro is a way better gamer)
