I hate this so much. This is identical to the slop shows my toddler has been into recently. Super Kitties, Spiderman and his Amazing Friends, Paw Patrol, PJ Masks. I hate them all.
- Comment on Spotifies come and Spotifies go, but that folder of badly-sorted MP3s will still be there in the 2050s. 3 weeks ago:
I actually got rid of all my old MP3s years ago. Not because I regret acquiring them, but because the quality sucked. Even 320kbps. You can’t tell CD from MP3 through my stereo, or in the car. But it is really obvious through my headphones, and ruins my critical listening experience. Had to re-rip all of my CDs to lossless, and lost all the ones I didn’t have CDs for.

I stopped using my hdmi adapter because it wasn’t looking as good as the component video. You got the 1920 to work? What version of OPL do you have? I might have to try it again!

I can just imagine him awkwardly leaning his head way in, with exaggerated kissy lips, and she gives him a brief peck. Then, they embrace. At one point, she says “ow!” And grabs her boob in surprise. He just says “sorry” as he looks to the camera and goes “can we… can we just cut that part?” He turns back to her, attempting another kiss, and she just pushes him away. She just hands him the diskette with the secret plans and asks him to leave. He asks if he can call her sometime, and if they could go out again. To which she just flatly replies with a curt “no” and shuts the door.

Now that you mention it, I’ve had mixed results forcing resolutions through OPL. But the factory ones you do with button combos always work great.

Oh, you can still get storage on the slim. I just did Gusse’s IDE resurrector on mine, but there is a better version out there now with much larger SD card support.

I played through Black for the first time this year on my old Fat with a sata hdd. How great was that game? It felt a generation ahead of its time, especially using the higher res display mode and the component video.
If you don’t already have a good controller solution, I highly recommend the Brook Wingman. I’m using mine with a Dual Shock 3 for the analog buttons (gotta have them for Ace Combat), but it supports so many controllers.

It gets to the end of the movie, and he says "OK, i think I’m ready to do this for real. It pans out to a huge set. The whole thing was just The Rehearsal for James to actually go on the mission.

That’s pretty easily avoidable, too. Don’t play online games, or talk to people. That’s what I do.

- Comment on Some people think that proprietary software for a 3d printer is a plus? 1 month ago:
I use the proprietary software for mine. Flashforge was nice enough to put out a native Linux version. I like it. But it’s very comforting to know that if I stop liking it for any reason, Cura works just fine with my printer. I don’t get using your closed source software as a selling point, though.
- Comment on Is it possible to sell semi-old computers/parts? 1 month ago:
Oh, thats really cool. I never had any pre-pentium stuff. I used an Apple ][ in school, and I remember playing Oregon Trail on 5.25 floppies, on a beautiful green monochrome monitor. But my first computer at home was a Pentium 133. It was a Compaq LTE 5300, with the docking bay, the CD drive, extra batteries, all the fixings. I loved that thing.

I wish I still had my old computers. I really miss my 98 machine with an 8mb 3D Rage Pro. I used that until 2005. Ive been buying some WinXP errands stuff recently, since it seems to be in the sweet spot for buying right now. I got a pair of quad core Xeons for $10! Ive got 32gb of DDR2 for $35. The GTX 980ti wasn’t super cheap, but thats a card you maybe still could use today. This is going to be the bitchin’-est XP machine. Im excited.

Yes, but that’s pretty miniscule compared to booting any of the linux based retro handhelds. An Bernice, Powkiddy, R36S, they all have like a 30-40 second boot time.
- Comment on Everything is a problem 1 month ago:
It’s completely comparable in this circumstance. They are performing similar functions, playing handheld games. My R36S is a pretty impressive little device, and it performs excellently at playing games. But using it is much more complicated and longer than popping a game in a gameboy.
Gameboy: insert game, turn on, play, turn off. R36S: turn on, 30-40 second boot time, locate game, play, exit emulator, shut down, 10 second shutdown time.

I helped my dad install a new dumb thermostat last winter. We just had to drill a couple of new holes to mount it, and moved the wires over. Boom,there was heat again. I thought about how much of a pain in the ass it was to get my Ecobee working, and how refreshing it was to just have something work immediately.
It’s a very similar feeling to playing my GameBoy Color again after messing around with retro gaming linux handhelds. You just turn it on and play, then just turn it off. No boot sequences, no emulator settings to tweak. No SD card corruption that ruins your game library. Just on and off.

I need three desks. Modern PC desk, retro PC desk, and a soldering desk. Otherwise, perfect.

This reminds me for some reason about the time I found a half-full can of vintage rat poison at an antique store. It was basically entirely arsenic.

You could tell me that was somebody from the 1980’s WWF and I’d totally believe you. Like, a cross between Captain Lou and Tugboat.

Exactly. I dont mind a little extra buffering. I mostly watch things in 720 oe 1080, and I’ve barely noticed the change.

I lock the door even when I’m home alone. I dont want any dogs, or toddlers, or even my wife in there. I’ll go down to the basement, even. To the Shit Dungeon, my sanctuary.
