That's some good nostalgia, thanks

Why would things from 12 years ago not be nostalgic?!

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Because 12 years is barely even enough time to graduate high school?

How long were you in high school for?

I think they are counting from first grade, their way of saying that is technically correct but a bit weird. Cleaner way would be to just say schooling minus kindergarten and college, less ambiguity and weirdness.

I found an Ubuntu 12.10 DVD on one of my spindles the other day and spun it up and oh my god how the memories came flooding back. I kinda loved Unity at the time. I mean, I'm not giving up Plasma for it, but I thought Unity was so refreshing coming off of Windows 7/8.

Certainly is for Minecraft.

The more modern form of modding with Forge had really matured by that point and people were testing the boundaries of what they could create with modpacks.

The following year saw the release of 1.7.10 as well as the acquisition by Microsoft and rounded off what was generally considered the golden age of modded Minecraft.
