r/Retro

I received around 50 floppy disks that the company I work for would throw away. There’s nothing classified or important in them, so I can format it without worries. My question is: how can I use them in a creative manner?

Of course, the most obvious thing to do would be to discard it or use it as decoration, since they have much less space when compared to other media. But since you also like retro tech around here, I think you’d agree with me that there’s some charm to using old technology.

I thought about storing some SNES and Game Boy games, as well as games from other consoles that don't take too much space. That way, I could play them on an old computer, maybe using Windows XP (or a version prior to it).

(I’ll maybe store some of the books I eventually write, since I’m an amateur writer and text documents are so small – of course, I’ll back it up in other places too).

Any other suggestions/tips?

Presentando este Top 120 que el blog Rock En Las Américas hizo, a través de un proceso muy elaborado, con canciones del rock en español (hay 42 canciones argentinas).

Entre los primeros puestos hallarán a Fito Páez cantando memorias muy personales, Los Gatos y su hit que abrió una etapa, y Charly García metiéndose en la new wave.

Almendra con su balada sentimental hippie, Rata Blanca conquistando Latinoamérica al galope del power metal, y Bersuit Vergarabat y su rap rock de protesta rabiosa.

Los Rodríguez y su aire argentoespañol, Soda Stereo con su gran hit reconocido al primer riff, y Los Fabulosos Cadillacs llevando la murga callejera a la cima latina.

it's been decades since i've seen half these commercials... so many memories and i still can quote most of them lol

I just watched Only Lovers Left Alive and loved the 60s/70s vibes it had, like with the characters' wardrobes, music, orientalism, and general vintage aesthetic. Much in the way that Brian Jonestown Massacre brings a revival of psychedelic rock in their music. But a movie. Preferably, it would be a drama like OLLA that incorporates the vintage aesthetic without making it a focus of the movie.
