How much attention is paid? I frequently throw on YouTube for background noise. I only hit up Netflix or Disney if I actually want to watch something. I bet I'm not alone.

Yeah, Wood Man might be my #2. Possibly Metal man, too, though.

Mega Man 2, Wily Stage 1: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aTbfpkByIM8&pp=ygUdbWVnYSBtYW4gMiB3aWx5IHN0YWdlIDEgbXVzaWM%3D

Heck. Half the Mega Man 2 sound track is probably in the top ten.

The removal of YouTube dislike is still fucking infuriating to me. I get it: now I have to watch the video to find out if it's a piece of shit, and that's exactly what they want, but holy fuck what a shitty decision designed to waste my time and maximize their chances to flash an ad in my face.

Ubuntu 6 on a Samsung laptop I had lying around 2006ish. The webcam and trackpad wouldn't work, but a mouse and not caring about the webcam made that tolerable. It was the only OS I ran for a year or so. I went back to Windows for gaming shortly afterwards, but have been using Linux off-and-on in some form ever since.

Power to them. I'm sure Hollow Knight made them all independently wealthy. I'd be hard pressed to bother to work too hard, too.

Well, that's depressing. Where's my Star Trek future?

Not only that, but Google assistant is getting consistently less reliable. Like half the time now I ask it a question and it just does an image search or something or completely misunderstands me in some other manner. They deserted working, decent tech for unreliable, unwanted tech because ???

I made a game in Blender! Like the other reply said, it used to have a game engine built-in.

Anyone telling you they can hear the difference between a 320kbps MP3 and lossless audio is full of shit, anyway. It's still a great format for keeping file sizes small, though I prefer ogg these days.

Well honestly, I've got enough Steam games to last me the rest of my life probably. If I ever really get the urge to play Okami again and it's still not available here, I'll explore my yo-ho-ho options. Still, I'd rather throw them the $5 the price regularly gets down to on Steam for the convenience.

Still waiting for the first to be available on PC in Korea. It's weird. They registered it here, then never released it. No clue why not.

I've already gone through it twice on PS2 and Wii. One of my favorite games of all time.

 

So, my work machine was getting long in the tooth. Occasionally not booting and requiring me to jiggle memory sticks or tighten CPU cooler screws. It was a DDR3 machine with a Xeon E3 1230V2 with 8gb of RAM (and oddly enough an RTX 2060.) The fans were getting pretty loud, too.

I had a Ryzen 2600x and 16gb of DD4 from my home PC lying around, so I bought a cheap mainboard, tore the old one out of the case, attached all the hardware to the new mainboard - including the SSD with Mint installed - and BOOM! It booted first try without issue. Even going from Intel to AMD, DDR3 to DDR4. My mind is blown!

I can't imagine how borked my machine would have been if I'd tried that with Windows.

Now, what do I do with a still-working Xeon and mainboard?!?
