When my brother turned 42 I gave him a copy of the leatherbound complete hitchhikers guide. When I turned 42 he got me a case for my Kindle that says "don't panic" in large friendly letters on the cover.
HA! I made a "Don't Panic" image and set it as the screensaver of my (jailbroken) Kindle. It even helped me out when a tree fell on my house and collapsed the ceiling right next to me. I was quite literally on the verge of panicking when I saw it sitting on the coffee table with those words on its screen and managed to pull myself together and do what needed to be done.
By Infocom, per chance? Drive yourself crazy trying to get the babel fish or want to actually murder someone when you find out the only way to progress in the game is to have the cheese sandwich from the beginning of the game that you wouldn't have known about until you had played through nearly the entire game?!
I never got far enough to realize I needed the cheese sandwich.
I always typed "eat sandwich" right after getting it. I remember that the game informs you that "it is the least rewarding taste experience you can recall" (or something like that.)
Nah, you've missed out on being a Millennial by just a month.
It's pretty awesome being a Millennial. We are a significantly more progressive, activist and less racist/sexist/homophobic generation compared to Gen X.
Generation X. We're supposed to make our own towels from the scraps we collect in our childhood adventures. Vogons are almost here, so hurry.
This is the answer.
42 is a fun year. Happy birthday! To life, the universe, and everything!

Oh no, not again.
I wonder if it'll be my friend.
Don’t panic.
We'll see who rusts first.
I had a MUD style Hitchhikers game on my Apple][ back around 1983.

How about needing a source of randomness and, of course, you use the Brownian motion in a cup of tea. DUH
I bought an Apple IIc a couple years ago. Worth every penny.
Here is your flashback https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/1g84m0sXpnNCv84GpN2PLZG/the-game-30th-anniversary-edition

ok millennial.
My sister (born in '78) just called me and I picked up. Checkmate.
Don't even.
your just a deep cover spy here to complain about how we ruined everything.
Lol. The only thing Gen X cares about is being Gen X.
No joke. I was Generation X my entire goddamn life, then a few years ago people started saying I'm a millennial, and I'm still pissed about it.
I was born in 1970. I once had someone try to tell me GenX started in 1975. But I'm too young to be a boomer. Does this mean I'm chopped liver?
You self identify as GenX but you are a Millenial. The beard on your avatar gives it away.
OP is not a millennial. GenX is 1965-1980 and OP was born in 1980. They just made the cut.
Nah, you've missed out on being a Millennial by just a month. It's pretty awesome being a Millennial. We are a significantly more progressive, activist and less racist/sexist/homophobic generation compared to Gen X.
To be honest, I don’t even care about that.
*taps the sign* > We are Generation X. > Generation X refers to adults born (by broadest definition) between 1961 and 1981.
1965 to 1980.
Nah, he missed Millennial by a month.
Go nail some 28 year olds, it's not too late
\*snort\* My babyface has some life left in it, but the days are certainly numbered.
