That’s a fuckin steal for the tech, if it wasn’t a smart tv.

Maybe I’m showing my age but I remember 3k+ for a 60+” DLP TV with shit viewing angles and a bulb that needed replacing eventually.

Bahahaha I grew up with an emachine once we upgraded from our 386, then 486…

The emachine was the worst computer I’ve ever had. I preferred our Compaq Portable. I didn’t know it at the time but emachines were just Gateway’s bottom-tier garbputers. Trying to play anything on it was a nightmare. Even MIDI files sounded like shit compared to my friend’s 1GHz HP. The Rage II integrated graphics played Diablo II at 10FPS.

Horrible nightmare machine full of poop and sadness.

I wish they kept it. I’d love to have it on display at my house now.

The games that WORK run incredibly on my M4 MacBook Air… the 15-20% of my Steam collection. D: ah well, that’s not what it’s for anyway.

That’s fair haha. I bought a Mac in the late 2000’s specifically to play games! At the time, I wanted a thin laptop with a good screen, good battery life, super light, and a high end video card and processor. I was constantly playing games at friends’ houses and going to LAN parties, and by no means did I want a desktop to lug around with my giant CRT monitor and keyboard and all that shit.

All of the PC laptops at the time were HUUUUGE! I sold computers at the time, and I hated every design of every windows computer. I looked at the 15” MacBook Pro, with its … okay amount of RAM, excellent dedicated video card, better processor than any PC laptop, and holy shit over two thousand US dollars price tag and… just went for it. Installed windows of course, and it played everything incredibly and was everything I wanted. A couple years later, it had an unfortunate accident and I had to get it written off under warranty, and paid a couple hundred dollars for a 2011 model. Did the same thing, installed Windows, and it played… everything amazingly. I love it. I still have it! I still use it! It has 16GB RAM and a SSD where the optical drive used to live now, but shit… still does standard tasks and video and whatnot totally fine!

Now, got a crazy deal on a MacBook Air last year. It COULD play games, but not much runs on MacOS. That’s okay though, it’s not what I got it for (NOTHING handles a photo library my size better than iPhoto, nothing even comes close.) love the thing, but Mac hardware playing games is over with the M series as far as I can tell.

I have every OS and tons of computers. I used my m4 MacBook Air when I went to the hospital because the battery life is eternal and the speakers are uncomfortably good for something so small. I did play some games on it, and they ran incredibly for such a crazy small machine.

Alas… the library that worked… SO SMALL! So many games are Windows/Linux only. I’d love to see that change, but luckily for me, that’s the only time I ever cared to try games on my MacBook.

Everything Kitboga has used it for and is currently doing with it. Hilarious AND interesting!

Ahhh that’s okay, thank you for the info!

Lawl I pay for the yearly thing and I’ve never used any paid features, I just wanted to support them. I’m okay with the price increase, but it definitely would have been nice to have an announcement maybe in December or spending the they’re planning that. I wonder if I’m grandfathered into the same price I’ve been paying? Ehhh too lazy to find out. I’ll pay 20, but yah some transparency or forewarning would have been nice for a lot of peeps.

Yeah, watch Salo instead! It’s got all the fucked-upness but is actually a good movie.

Honorable mentions to August Underground movies, not good movies even if you like fucked up shit but they’re certainly fucked up!

My duuuuude <3

It was MINDBLOWING to me hahaha. I’m thinking “BUT IT’S NOT EVEN A GD-ROM AND IT WORKS AND I CAN PLAY SECRET OF MANA?!”

The dcemulation scene walked so Xbox emulation could run emulated software in new an innovative ways ;3

Punishment and legal slave labor! Yay America!

Lawl you don’t know anything about Apple and the performance kicks the ass of similarly priced Windows machines. Keep spreading BS tho, I’m sure it makes you feel smug

It’s Kelly tho

Kelly is incredible

Woof. ANOTHER name for search engines to autocomplete when typing “murders Ivan mil”, interestingly

I mean, an m4 air with 16GB RAM and a 256SSD destroys almost any windows laptop at 600USD, and that’s how much they’ve been going for. Any lower than that, even with 8GB RAM and that’s an extremely good deal.

I got a 16GB RAM M4 MacBook Air for 600USD so it better be cheaper than that if it comes with 8GB…

Ehhh I took a recreational dose of oxy and it felt sorta cool, but mostly weird and extremely itchy. I tried once more dialing down the dose, but that, too wasn’t super exciting. Not the chem for me, but it was interesting trying it. I didn’t get euphoric or ill, it just felt… different. Maybe if I had never rolled my tits off on X, I’d have considered it euphoria, but naaaaah.

(I attempted to dose recreationally at home, once I wasn’t in any pain.)

Ahh mine was every couple hours. I’m not sure the dosage but it was two tubes most times. They gave me one tube occasionally and then asked a bit later if I wanted the other. I think I only declined once, it hurt quiiiite a lot. There weren’t any times where it wore off before I could have another, so that’s nice! Also the hospital my partner drove me to, I got fucking LUCKY. They got my vitals immediately when I got there, I was in a room within 10 minutes, a CT scan in maybe a half hour, and the were like “yeah you’re gonna have to stay for… some time. We’ll get you a room upstairs as soon as we can, but that’s gonna be the tricky part.”

My partner and I start watching stuff together on my phone while we wait (thank you headphone audio mirroring!) and we get a HALF HOUR IN and they’re like “corner room opened, we’re gonna get you in there NOW before anything happens to it”

Big ol giant room for us both to be in, nice tables I can move around without getting up. Bathe room mega close, and almost every time I paged a nurse for pain meds they were there INSTANTLY. It was honestly the best hospital experience I could have hoped for. After a few days on Dilaudid they asked if I wanted to switch to oral oxy when I could eat more, and that lasted much longer (but the whole IV thing was so neat… I’ve done almost every drug but never touched opiates and I refuse to touch needles, so that was prolly (hopefully) a once in a lifetime experience for me)

By the time I got home, I didn’t even need the extra Oxys they gave me, but I had a lil fun with them after as a reward for my experience. I’ll for sure go to that hospital if I ever need to again.

Totally random! I wouldn’t worry about it—it’s very very rare, it’s not commonly terminal, and it generally never comes back. I’ve never met or heard of anyone else having it (which is why I don’t wanna go into detail, I’m sorry!) so there’s likely no chance you’ll ever have to worry.

But damn, was it hurty @w@ if my mind wasn’t already solidified about not birthing kids, it would be now hahaha
