Does Chrome not have an option to "save tabs" on close? Because you could just close the browser when you wanted to play games without melting down your PC. I mean, I know clicking on an X and then actually having to double click on an icon when you want to open the browser again is way more effort than, uh, breathing, I guess. But yeah, there's that.

XboxPants posted:Also I do at least have the tabs organized into a few different windows, it's not one massive mess. It's not about how you organize them, having a web browser take up over a gig of RAM and several dozen processes running for extremely long periods of time with several hundred megs a piece is hideously unstable. Your Chrome isn't crashing just because "it happens", its happening because of how much poo poo you have running on your computer. Several hundred running threads will not run properly JUST because they can fit into RAM. Your computer is violently choking on the myriad of instructions you give it and you're too dumb to realize its not designed to be used the way you're using it. You don't need an OUYA, you need to learn how to use your computer. And honestly, if you're the key demographic for the GOOBLE, understand that where this worries me is instead of that mentality being from a user standpoint, people are probably going to be writing code for this thing that's uglier than your task manager. No amount of running by itself is going to make lovely code any more stable.

Wait, what? The save tabs on close option for Chrome just lets you resume everything as is the next time you start up Chrome. Unless you're talking about having multiple instances of Chrome open, each with their own multiple tabs, in which case

It kind of doesn't matter if it's a stupid way of using the computer - if it works, it works.

You people just don't understand! Using a PC is just so inconvenient and complex. Like, when I want to use it I have to hook in my mouse and my keyboard and my headphones, but there's, like, four different slots to put them in. Do I just put them in any slot, and what do I even do with that fourth slot? And then when I turn it on, it just takes forever to start up. Then there are these two buttons to press, but when I press the one for my account it asks me to type in my password. Like, can't it just do that automatically for me? And then it brings up my desktop and there's all these different icons for stuff, and if I click an icon once, it does nothing. I have to click it twice to make it work. Ugh, using a PC makes me want to punch a hole in a monitor. I just can't wait for the Ouya to solve all these inconvenient problems and provide me with a better user experience!

But for what you want a cheap laptop or any other game console that's not a OUYA would also remove that problem entirely, hit all the things you want it to do, and have a library of decent games. What I'm saying is: Stop. Just stop. Stop defending the OUYA, man. It was a bad decision. All your justifications for buying it are getting more and more ridiculous and it's just sad at this point. It's fine. We all make bad choices with money occasionally.

This man is correct. The Ouya doesn't solve your problems, it has nothing to offer. You can't say "I think I'll play Dark Souls. Let's just switch over to my Ouya and launch Dark Souls" because the game doesn't exist for that platform. Most games don't exist for the Ouya. You're getting a tiny game library that's seriously lacking in people giving a poo poo.

I've had discussions spanning multiple days about abstract concepts that I cared about far less than OUYA. edit: Actually, the fact that it's not massively important has probably helped keep me here. If I went onto the politics threads or something, maybe I would eventually get bothered enough by what people were saying to leave the thread.

What happens when you start running your UH,YA? like a maniac and it starts getting screwed up? Do you just buy the UH,YA?-2 for another hundred and be like, 'what, what's up, now I have two'? Because you seem to have insane solutions to problems with solutions like, 'don't do that'.

XboxPants posted:Alright, I was being obtuse there. Normally I would understand that he just made a poorly-thought out analogy-joke that didn't actually make sense. Which, I mean, it's an internet message board, no big deal, I'm sure I've made poorly thought out jokes online too. And in real life. That's not something I'd hold against him or anything. If I didn't know better I swear you were loving with me right now. I don't understand how you sperg out on sentence fragments while missing / wilfully ignoring the larger point. It's seriously maddening. (If you really, seriously didn't understand, the "driving your car off a cliff" metaphor was in response to you listing your big, retarded list of self-inflicted problems as things the Ouya would solve. The most poorly-thought out things in this thread are your posts.) Now look at this dumb loving list you made, and ignore everything I wrote above so I don't have to read another goddamned stupid reply focusing on how you misinterpreted something there, because I'm going to run through it for you. I'll leave out the ones that you've already been thoroughly mocked for. quote:- Chrome is crashing because (x) and it chose to do so while I'm trying to not lose, and now it's making the game chug up like crazy Chrome is available on Android, and may at least be able to be sideloaded onto an Ouya since it runs Android 4.0. If you open up a billion loving Chrome tabs on an Ouya and try to play a game, what makes you think that will be any different? quote:I left my game running and Windows downloaded an update and force-rebooted, loving me 1) This is your own fault, since my four year old knows how to turn that setting off and I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming you're at least on his level. 2) By default, I believe at worst Windows will give you a 15-minute countdown timer to when it restarts automatically, so in order for it to do otherwise you would explicitly have to do that quote:Someone's Skyping me when I'm trying to play a game in fullscreen This will happen if you install Skype on Android too. Much like Chrome, it is your own choice and your own fault if you decide to install it and/or leave yourself logged in while you're playing games. Much like Chrome, this is not a problem the Ouya will solve. quote:I'm playing a game while running my Minecraft server because I'm not gonna turn it off every time I wanna play a game, and suddenly god knows what is happening on it, but it's making the game I'm playing play like poo poo Your own drat fault, also you probably won't be able to run a Minecraft server off your Ouya so it's completely irrelevant. quote:My computer is doing something intensive - virus scan, video rendering, whatever - and I should probably wait until that's done to play a game on it Your own drat fault, also you could pause / cancel those things at any time, also the Ouya will probably be unable to render video for you so it's completely irrelevant quote:My display settings are set to output only to the monitor because (x), so now I have to fix that first I don't even understand this, what else would your display settings be set to output to quote:The PC audio settings aren't set up right because (x) - most likely muted Your own drat fault, also how would this be different from if you muted the system volume on your Ouya. ...So considering that all your problems are things that would not be solved or would not be applicable to the Ouya, is your impetus for defending it so hard that it saves you from your own crippling incompetence?

Cojawfee posted:Since you love chrome so much, I found the perfect device for you. Actually, I have a Chromebook and I like it a lot. You don't have to worry about that being a bad investment, though; Google sent me that one for free. raditts posted:This is your own fault, since my four year old knows how to turn [windows update auto-rebooting] off and I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming you're at least on his level. This one I have to give you, and to everyone else that pointed it out. Yes, I didn't realize there was a simple setting for this. I never took it upon myself to check if there was a setting I could change for that, and Windows sure doesn't make any effort to let you know if you don't look into it. I don't feel like the rest of your responses work, though. raditts posted:I don't even understand this, what else would your display settings be set to output to It could be set to only output to the computer monitor. There are programs that, for whatever reason, might not behave the way you want them to if you have dual monitors turned on. So, you turn it off. Win+P, pretty easy to switch between them. There are various other settings, too. Sometimes if you want to see a game or video in full screen, it will only display on the monitor that has been set as the "primary" one. So if there's a game that I'm playing on the computer monitor, I may set the primary display to that screen. Then if I try to play it on the TV, it's still going to just display on the primary monitor, gotta fix that setting first. raditts posted:Your own drat fault, also how would this be different from if you muted the system volume on your Ouya. This issue has kind of been beaten to death but basically the difference is that I can unmute it with the gamepad without needing an additional input device. raditts posted:Chrome is available on Android, and may at least be able to be sideloaded onto an Ouya since it runs Android 4.0. If you open up a billion loving Chrome tabs on an Ouya and try to play a game, what makes you think that will be any different? The point I was trying to make with all of these is that while I'm using the PC for lots of things, I'll only use the OUYA for gaming. So the gaming can't interfere with the other stuff, and the other stuff can't interfere with the gaming. If I can't run a Minecraft server or render video on the OUYA, that's not irrelevent; that's the entire point of what I was saying. The OUYA can't, and thus won't, be doing all the things that my computer does that might conflict with the games. I could run Skype or Chrome on the OUYA. But the whole point of what I'm saying is that I'm only going to run games on it. So I won't do that. So the OUYA - or any dedicated gaming machine - would solve that problem.
