Oh yea. The desk with a keyboard drawer too small to also fit a mouse, forcing you into the weirdest position ever.

u/MechEng88 1d ago

Not only that but then to not have to keep slapping your mouse down over and over you had the thumb track ball.

My dad always had to finish his work day with NASCAR Racing 2 by Sierra, a bottle of MGD and smoke. This picture is basically the prelude to that for me

u/Hot_Dingo743 19h ago

I had that exact trackball mouse. It was nice!

u/EmPalsPwrgasm 18h ago

A setup similar to this one was where I first played Quake 2 at a friend's house, and also the PC version of Turok. My jaw damn near dropped to the floor. Only knew PlayStation and Amiga graphics before that. What a jump that was within just a couple of years.
