Anyone go to HCCTC off of Corder Road back in 1999-2000?

As the title says, just wondering if there are any other old HCCTC students here. :) I'm also wondering if anyone has any pictures inside?

I was randomly offered a spot when I was going to North Side HS.

Me ca. 1987

Found this old pic today and it sent me back in time. That radical background seemed to be in every school picture lol.

If you got em, share yours!

Spencer Gifts!

Saturday I went to a new (to me) mall and saw a friendly sign I had not seen in a very long time.

It looked as if I stepped back in time. Miss the real Spencer Gifts!

My Jnco carabiner / keychain with chain

Saw them go for 200 bucks on eBay 🙄

Thankfully I kept mine.

Microslop's Onecrap just screwed me over.

I'm in the process of moving from Winslop to Linux, the only hold over is this gen 1 Surface Go which this happened on.

I noticed that my computer was acting sluggishly and web pages were loading a little slower than usual.

So I look into the services running and I notice "OneDrive". That shouldn't be happening as I've removed OneDrive (and a ton of other things) so I stop it. Then I notice my pictures and desktop files are all GONE.

I check the recycle bin, nope. Go to OneDrive and check the recycle bin there. Nothing.

I'm just voicing my frustration and can't wait until I find a nice little Linux distro for the Surface.

The mall

Just a couple of shots that remind me of the late 90s. (Richland mall, Waco)

The second pic (inside Dillard's) really brought me back.

An odd request - Looking for an old timer

Back in the late 90's I was completely obsessed with my local Office Depot's PDA selection.

I've been trying on and off for the past 20 years to find the old display shelving that was used. If I'm not misremembering, it was white plastic and in the shape of steps where each "step" had a row of various PDA's. I think there were probably 4-5 "steps".

Thought I'd ask here in a small hope someone working during the time of PDA's at O.D. might have a picture.

This is the Way, or This is Way?

Ok, I'm considering getting a tattoo of the famous "This is the Way" phrase in the Mandalorian language / font on my left forearm to cover up a big surgery scar.

But I've read that in Mandalorian it would be "This is Way" and not "This is the Way".

I don't remember the reasoning, but it's been enough to hold off getting the tattoo. I was hoping we'd see it spelled out in canon.

Appreciate it!

Abandoned Swedish border stores.

For Norwegians, taking a quick driver over the border into Sweden to buy some cheaper tobacco and food in general is quite normal. This area is located in "Svinesund" about ten minutes past the Swedish border.

There's at least two stores still going strong here (not pictured) but the majority has just fallen into disrepair. Next time I'll take pictures as some products were left behind to rot in the open on their shelves.

This place back in early to the mid 2000's was a pretty popular little destination. The stores had an eclectic mix of things for sale from clothes to electronics and nearly everything in between.

I find that little thing on top of the roof strange. I'm not sure if it's an elevator or what but I can't remember that building ever having a second story.

The other location called "Handelshuset" is basically a mini-mini mall. It had about 5-10 small stores in it, one being a grocery and candy store. It's been closed now for around 6 years.

Next time I'm going to see if I can gain entry (legally) and take a lot more pictures.

Controller issues with Duckstation after factory reset.

Hey everyone, I recently dug out my R3+ today and had to factory reset it. I ran through the setup like I've done numerous times before, moved over my PS1 games to my SD card.

I went to set up my controls in DuckStation and am having such a hard time setting up the physical controls.

I haven't experienced this issue before and can't seem to figure it out on my own.

So far, I've set port 1 to analog. I've tried both automatic binding and manual. I'm having an issue with manual bindings. Once set, it still says "not bound". I'll "bind" them and the little confirmation screen goes away. Except for when I try the right D-pad. That little confirmation window just stays there until I press "Cancel".

I've tested all the keys, they work in everything else including other emulators.

I've completely uninstalled Duckstation and reinstalled it and set it up. I boot up Crash Bandicoot and my left joystick functions to move Crash around but all the other buttons do nothing.

I'm on firmware 1.0.1. I sincerely appreciate any guidance on this issue. :)
