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

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.

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

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?

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

gdday’ lemon!

luckily I just have a cheap emerson that lets me do whatever I want to set the time so that’s not an issue.

My sister though… Has one of those ‘old’ microwaves that sits there all arrogantly and ignores you unless you hit clear AND use the set time button just to be able to begin setting a cook time. It’s very annoying and the habit of having a lazier microwave always trips me up when I’m forced to use her more pedantic older microwave

Leaking content before debut? Evil and it hurts the owners. Very much stealing.

Releasing torrent too close to original release date? Kinda mean and can really hurt initial sales.

I’d rather people be more mindful and considerate of these two things. After that time has passed though… Nothing else comes to mind. :)

Just wanted to point out that having some standards is good if you want piracy to be respected

Constantly migrating your data from one storage to the next seems like the only real way.

Hardware solutions personally. . raise too many doubts. Like those “100 year discs”, that just screams untested/untestable.

oooh nostalgic.

What I like about gamecopyworld: it’s been around forever!

What I hate: no standards. Sometimes you’ll find cracks for a win98 game or an XP game and they’ll require sys/kernel functionality that didn’t exist until windows 7. I mean… what if I wanna play period correct? And NOT on windows 7 or newer?

I really hate when plastic tupperwares ooze grease even if you wash them ten times . If baking soda doesn’t work, there is an even stronger option: washing soda.

I use baking soda to wash holiday glassware that spends all year on top of the nasty cabinets above the stove and it kills the sticky mildew feel almost instantly. But when push comes to shove, washing soda is even more insane than baking soda.

Just be sure to rinse thoroughly so it doesn’t end up in the food
