crankyoldmanSo, last night I downloaded The Sims 3 onto my iPhone.
Keep in mind I haven't actively played Sims since the original The Sims, and used to actually be the sort to painstakingly mod the skins on them so they could be whoever I wanted. I had to get around the limitations of the software at the time and deal with lag on my family's shared laptop but god, it was fun.
It blows my mind that my phone can handle a type of game that my fully functioning computer has issues with. It's a bit of a shame that more people don't just sit back and marvel at how much power we have now.
My dad used punch cards in his first programming classes when he was just a bit younger than me!
Anyway, just geeking. XD
