The toilets at my moms house are teeny tiny so this doesn’t matter on them

But yes… without the toilet plunger on the right: Do not even try the left one with a modern day toilet, it’s sooooo messy

He should try singing to them as well

An 8 inch mini monitor. I find myself . . . using it for everyyyyythhiiinnnng. Videos, documentation, Remote Desktop Sessions etc etc etc. It even has composite and BNC so I could hook up a playstation if I wanted to. :)

I bought it just because the thought of having it was funny. And holy crap the size difference!!

‘videogame ice effect’

I seriously love the over-the-top ice shaders used in all those early 2000s games. Ice always looked amazing, just this super bright white with pearlescent whitish-blue highlights that shimmered at odd angles and stuff. It’s so cool.

Like the bridge tunnel in IceFields from HaloPC in 2003.

Or the almost-fully-transparent ice tunnel in Crysis Warhead (and firefall. Firefall had AMAZING ice shaders, it had some direction-based visual stuff going on where it had volumetric speckles all throuought the foot-thick ice).

Honestly: ice-themed anything looks cool to me, color-wise

I just watch and delete because I don’t ever really watch anything more than a few times anyways.

The only kind of stuff I’ve ever made backups of is dev software and old keygens because . well - that kind of stuff disappears too easily with the new&shiny fad.

Seeing only (edit…) two to three // results per scroll is way too cramped.

I miss the early 2000s when you’d get like 15 or 20 search results a page on a 1280 monitor because hosts weren’t BLIND.

I want that as a real UI option 😶

There’s also funfactor in having physical media and limited choice. A phone with an entire collection on it is just. . plain. standard. even boring. And the handicapped phone UI ruins the rest of the smartphone experience if you wanna do other things with the phone other than listen to music.

Modern CD players also read newer formats, unlike the old-stock CD players off of ebay from 30+ years ago that only read raw CDA tracks

I always saw kobolds as ‘slightly redder than normal goblins’ in old grindy korean MMOs

As long as it supports the USB-C PowerDelivery standard and has the supported voltages and wattage needed to do so. Most laptops will need 20v.

For chargers as small as those little phone-bricks the main problems would probably be the wiregauge of the USBC cable and the heat. Being so small and without exhaust vents I imagine the poor little charger would be at risk of early heat death. But it’s doable

I’ve been able to normal-charge a 15 inch IdeaPad 82R9 using a little 1x1 inch 35watt GaN charger. But this was with the CPU locked to not go over 25% load(this laptop is FAST even with this sacrifice) and it makes that little charger get pretty hot. Without that CPU limit in place it actually drains faster than the charger can charge.

Of course there’s a fee. Do they not realize how expensive it is to fileserve useless videogame data, provide versioning for that, updater systems, workshop storage, curation, promotion etc etc. . . without help?

Is there not a fee for your competing storefront? How would it fund its daily operations?

Is it bad that I call the sizes written on american women’s clothing ‘cattle gauge’ measurements?

I wish they actually looked like the picture though… Every single type I’ve tried are just standard square popsicles. No cool asterisk shape :(

I once used it every day for about two weeks trying to track down the original helpfiles and maxscript documentation for 3dsmax 4 and blender for windowsME. … across various dead webpages, etc etc. Only ended up finding it on some completely unrelated warez disk. As for the really really old blender version? I don’t remember. I don’t even think I have the files anymore

I use Krita because I do hand drawn animation so I haven’t pirated photoshop since like . . 2008. Also use a tiltpen with it to paint tangent normals for bump mapping sometimes. Once I obtained good drawing tablets and stopped painting with my mouse I stopped caring about photoshop and its features

it doesn’t do any noises unless you set it up that way intentionally.

I learned that it could do it. Then I set it up that way intentionally.

I actually really like that the washing machine and my makita charger do those noises just because I’ve never heard appliances do musical stuff before and think it’s really cool. BUUUUT:

I would totally hate it if anything.* aaaanything at allllll* in the kitchen were to make music the same way. Microwaves – and the oven – and the pressure cooker – are already extremely loud and obnoxious as they are.

The washing machine and battery charger are somehow fine just because I don’t associate them with the kitchen appliances I grew up being screamed-at by. The whole ‘conditioned to be annoyed by X but when Y does it it’s fine’ thing
