I wish I remembered more about the computers we had at my house growing up, now that I'm older and interested in old computer stuff. I remember playing Doom right when it first came out when I was 6 and feeling rad as gently caress

my dad was incredibly cheap and mostly refused to buy us full priced games, instead we'd go down to the software store and pay $5 for a floppy with a game demo many of them had a lot of the game but with artificial constraints like only being able to play for a set amount of time, so if we really liked one of those and whined enough my dad would figure out how to hack the drm and unlock them for us every time he'd be like "you know, I'm a game developer and if everyone just pirated and hacked my games we wouldn't have this house" and we'd be like "you could just buy us the game" and he'd be like "ok shut up, I'll hack it"

So this may be a dumb question, but isn’t using a cardboard box as a computer case a fire hazard? Is this how Bitcoin fires start?

My family's first computer was a VIC 20. I used to use my friends C64 whenever we got the chance as it has 8 times the RAM so the games were soooooo much better. Eventually we got a 286, 386, and i put together my first computer (completely funded by me) a 486 dx turbo. Working sucks right now, I'm not in the headspace for it today. I would much rather go to the farm and pet the goats.

Is this how Bitcoin fires start? i've told this story a few times and i've been asked this enough that i looked it up once and found it would take more energy/heat for most cardboards to catch fire than a typical plastic case of the same era, so probably not

I made that comment more out of exasperation than anger. Honestly it has to be weird to be a creative person and deal with fanboys. You’re just there trying to make as much money as you can off the rights to your 80’s movie, and here’s this bunch of weirdos acting like it has to be protected and cared for, as if making a lovely reboot makes the original worse or damages it somehow.

Bags Fly at Noon posted:The OG Ghostbusters is the perfect movie and doesn’t need to be hosed with It's a GOOD movie. But it's definitely one of the ones that Goons love to say poo poo like this about because somehow it's become some unassailable icon to them due to, idk, rose colored glasses? Collectivism? A little of both? I'm not sure.

Big Beef City posted:It's a GOOD movie. I mean, I have sentimentality attached to it because it was the first movie I ever saw in a theater, but I’m also somewhat sensible in that when I hear about a sequel or remake whatever I just go “huh, that’s some news about the ghostbusters franchise” and move on with my day.
