It's amazing that this software managed to work without ads, telemetry or logging in with a Microsoft account.

Horrible user experience. More "tips" about products are needed

Gotta go for the hand. I vaguely recall sometimes it would be animated and another card would poke out of the person's sleeve.

also, the bats flapped, the fish bubbled, the sun smiled and the robot flailed its hooks wildly.

You must not be that old if you remember all that

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.

Palm trees all the way. Used to play this at work when they replaced the “toasters” with pcs.

Light blue fishies or spooky castle are mine and fuck you my whole body hurts!....

I like the hand holding the cards because an ace would pop out of the sleeve.

No back pain outside of the very occasional knots. Likely from good core strength and a hyperfixation of personal biomechanics

I enjoyed the spiral shell, also no back pain unless I pulled a muscle, though that hasn't happened for what feels like almost a year now since I started regularly stretching.

Also being a construction worker has done amazing things for my fitness.

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!

Mine has always been the castle because I always liked how it was animated.

not quite yet fingers crossed but beach all the way

sounds like you're wishing your back is gonna start hurting soon

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.

I miss the Windows 95 buttons. We need to go back.

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

You called it, absolutely the manor/castle. I'd forgotten these until seeing this now.

I'd jump around between both fish, castle and beach depending on what I was feeling at the time.

Also my knees hurt.

Black or blue vine things. They seemed the "realest" to me, but don't seem to get much love.

Can confirm my back currently, and always, hurts.

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.

never much cared for solitaire. went straight to doom

It was the fishies. To be fair I was really young. But I expect my back to hurt in the morning too instead of just the afternoon any year now.

If your back hurts when you get up consider getting a water bed. I switched recently and it has been amazing for my back.
