Mine has always been the castle because I always liked how it was animated.
I always chose the beach.
I’d jump around between both fish, castle and beach depending on what I was feeling at the time.
Also my knees hurt.
Light blue fishies or spooky castle are mine, and fuck you my whole body hurts!..
I’m with dumbass ^
It’s amazing that this software managed to work without ads, telemetry or logging in with a Microsoft account.
Then Clippy came along…
Horrible user experience. More “tips” about products are needed
Since i started going to gym and do squats my lower back stopped hurting, thank you very much. But yup my fav was robot one and hand one. I have vouge memory that there was an animation from time to time, but that might be Mandela effect. Good times being a child and pcs being full of magic :3
I wanted to say the same thing, use it or lose it.
Pain sometimes comes from injury or other mechanism, but loads of people with back pain just need to exercise more.
A strong back will do wonders.
Likewise a strong wrist will resist keyboard pain. It won’t tolerate bad typing posture or a crappy keyboard, but it will resist pain with a good ergo keyboard and good posture
I felt like I’d matured and grown as a person when I decided I preferred the standard pattern to the spooky castle and palm tree on the beach. I was still a child, of course.
Beach - yup
I was a spooky castle guy, myself. I also played Maniac Mansion so it tracks.
Castle or roses.
Spooky castle. It hurts most of the time.
Palm Trees or Robot, and its my ankle and sometimes my knee
An inversion table can do wonders for joint pain. I know cause I kinda got one for free. Friend moved to Hawaii and couldn’t take it with.
Doesn’t an inversion table kind of hang you from your ankles? That seems like a dangerous solution for ankle pain, at least.
Only if you set it up to go to 60° or 85°. Mine has settings for 5° all the way up to 85°. You can still get some benefits without hanging by your ankles.
Robot gang rise up!
I am the robot, I cannot feel pain
My back doesn’t wait until I get up to hurt, that’s an all night affair!
I was all about the hand for some reason.
I feel this. Biggest things that helped me:
- Sleep on my back
- Use a 12-18 degree wedge pillow for my torso to lay on
- Pillow under the knees
I tried all these things separately and it didn’t help. But together, it worked!
(Use another regular pillow for your head on top of the wedge)
Thanks for the tips I’ll have to get some more pillows!
The castle. No back pain so far thanks to a career in mostly office jobs.
My parents and grandparents would get weirdly but wholesomely excited whenever they saw the animation on the cards (like the sun on the beach smiling). They all played a lot of solitaire.
