I had one of those and (2) 3dfx voodoo 2's in SLI. Remember , instead of computers : Do drugs - it's cheaper!
I had a voodoo 2 and a riva tnt 1 or 128, can't remember. Would switch between the two depending on which one would perform better on a given game.

My cousin knew a couple named jack and diane and I did the same thing. Turns out they did get the reference because they hosted an 80's themed new years party.

Here.. let me help...

WTF it cut off! Where's the rest of it?

Lifted my coffee cup this morning, somehow managed to stave my thumb and it hurts like hell. Have to hold everything in my left hand now.

Wind recently ripped the flashing on top of my back awning up and was in the process of ripping it off. I have been planning to get it repaired for a while and the stars aligned today. I went on the roof, I don't think I was up there more than an hour. Maybe 1.5 hours. Anyhow not a lot of time. I planned it all out well so it went pretty smooth. Come down and get in the house. My bodies 'low fuel' light came on along with 'check engine' etc. Me & the wife were supposed to take her mum to dinner. That got shitcanned as I was passed out at lunch. Slept most of the afternoon. Can barely keep my eyes open now and I know when I get up in the morning I will not be able to move. FUCK GETTING OLD !

I’m not that far yet, and trying to get my ass into regular exercise to hold it off.

tldr: worked myself to literal exhaustion
However, last year sometime I had a free afternoon to plant a fruit tree in the back yard (I just realized it’s the one that has since died; mother fucker). Anyway, the spot to plant it is on a long steep hill, and I wanted to do some work around that area before putting the tree in so I wouldn’t have to worry about working around the tree. This included pulling weeds and rolling out jute netting. Rather than cut the net, I hauled the whole roll up the hill and rolled it down while walking/sliding backward a couple times. Feeling a bit winded and tired but push on. A foot down in the soils I hit clay, keep going at it alternating between pick and shovel. About 2/3 of the way done I take a break and am doubled over sucking wind. Get some water and finish it up. Took 3-4 hours to do everything and when it get back in the house, start to feel mildly nauseous, dizzy and pretty shaky. Lay down on the floor in the living room because I wasn’t going to make it anywhere else. It was a good hour+ before I was ready to move from the floor and another hour before I could get in the shower. My wife was pretty pissed, I was kinda proud that I could push myself that hard 😁

Well I have always had stamina. To the point I took it for granted. I guess age, back surgeries, brain tumor, life , etc. took that away too.
