The next XBox will apparently be a PC.

[A Black Falcon]

I think there will definitely be performance issues assuming Xbox runs regular Windows in the future. But all I'm basing this on is videos on YouTube bemoaning the _ % difference in framerates going from Windows to Linux on PC.

Do you remember any of my posts by any chance? I used to post, I think in a prior iteration of this forum (since etoven could find no record of my having ever registered on this iteration of the forum; I may have started just lurking after around 2000). I don't know the history of the domain/infrastructure changes. I remember making the Rumble City cow graphic using an ancient copy of Photoshop but I can see there is no longer a Rumble City.

I was actually looking old ICQ files that I have around from the 1990s and that is how I found my way back here. I have yours along with a bunch of other peoples' (from Tendo City/Rumble City and Nintendorks) ICQ numbers and profiles in those files apparently (sounds like a privacy nightmare actually, right--but that's the digital reality we live in...? iono). I'm also realizing more than ever that human memory really sucks--or mine does anyway, as I don't remember anything about some people I used to talk to online. Also, nostalgia's great!

... Woah, it's been forever.  I recognize your name, though, though not much beyond that.  I'd forgotten it'd been so long, I would have guessed you posted on TC in the early years when we had more people but I guess not.  And yeah, searching I see some mentions of you from some early posts on this forum but no hints of a post of yours, I guess you quit during the Rumble City era, before this forum was founded in 2003.  So uh, belated welcome I guess? 

Would you like your join date changed to something more accurate?  I'm sure we could change it, like how mine and DJ's etc. have been.

is surely quite appropriate.

As for ICQ, I never used it myself.  I mostly remember TC conversations happening on MSN Messenger, which is why my Skype (uh, I guess Teams now?) account has some old TC people in it.  MSN Messenger was pretty nice with how it allowed multi-user chatrooms a lot better than AIM's.

It is very frustrating because it leads to many, many unarchived pages, not much of the 1999-2002 era of Tendo City is actually archived unless someone here has a backup of any of those forum databases, but this links to a bit of what I found on archive.org.  I found some thread lists but almost no actual threads.  Reading thread titles and not being able to read the threads is very frustrating to say the least but it's all I've ever managed to find on archive.org.  There are a few threads created by you on a few of these pages but who knows what was said.

That N64-cube city logo is really nice.  Maybe we should use some updated version of it for the site now, we don't have much of a logo do we.

It sure was better overall once we set this forum up though, because between '99 and '03 the site went through what, like five different forums? An email response page, Nurb, the EZBoard, Rumble City as its own page, etc, then finally this one which lasted.  Thanks to Weltall and Etoven for that!
