spookykid posted:Surely you mean Mb? A cart with half a gig of anything in that era would be the size of the SNES itself. No a complete set of ROMs for the SNES is like half a gigabyte, so juggling games on and off of an SD card should only be necessary if you bought a vintage memory card to go along with your vintage gaming. It makes sense if you’re downloading romhacks and stuff though.

I didn’t learn that until I got into emulation in my teens, and felt like Sonic was going way faster than he used to and all the music was off. https://youtu.be/iPhESbeKFIE Edit: this guy has a particularly bad voice for a YouTuber but it was the first result for comparing the two History Comes Inside! has a new favorite as of 15:37 on Feb 4, 2022 |

It’s just fake memory cards/thumb drives but with extra steps.

I ran up a £300 phone bill to compuserve within 2 months of getting my first modem and my parents were mad as gently caress. The phone company agreed to put us into a trial scheme for their first monthly unlimited dial-up package when they called to try and query the bill, and I used birthday and Christmas money that year to pay to have a second phone line put in so I could internet all I wanted.

Freeserve were loving terrible in every experience I ever had trying to connect to them. Just a million attempts where it would answer and claim to be connected but lol no you’re not, it’s how I first learned to tell whether or not I should hang it up and redial a connection just by the sounds towards the end of the handshake.

Trabant posted:Crossposting myself since it's relevant to this thread and someone here might have a suggestion: It’s an obvious one but it’s tripped me up a million times even though I absolutely know better, but when you tried it in the PS/2 port you were plugging it in before powering the machine up right?

Humbug Scoolbus posted:Cathode Ray Dude's channel is very pro-click. He brings up some weird stuff. I’ve slowly worked my way through it all after he was linked somewhere back ITT and I wish he’d post more. Dude is the good kind of weird YouTube nerd instead of the awful grating kind and it seems to be super rare.

Flashbacks to my big box store computer toucher days when we’d transfer data to customers’ new machines, and almost every time the transfer thing would poo poo the bed because they had a Michael Bublé folder and it didn’t like the special e.

My first smartphone was an HTC TyTN, and I loved that thing. I still kind of miss slide out keyboards to be honest. Then I had the TyTN 2 which was the same thing but the screen could tilt when you slid the keyboard out. Game changing poo poo.

I can’t live with those tiny screens anymore, I’ve been spoilt by giant phones. I don’t have big hands but I’ve learned to love the popsocket which makes pretty much any large phone infinitely more one-handable.

Krazy Ivan could do it too, that’s the only game I remember having that had it on the box. I never knew anyone who had a link cable though.

I played that exact game like a week ago and yeah it’s bad Did the 32x have any killer games? I just dumped the whole romset onto my retropie arcade machine because it’s 2022 and space is infinite, and I’ve been picking things at random but nothing really wows.

I bet Pokémon is responsible for 99.99% of all gameboy link cable sales. What I’m saying is maybe they’d have sold a few more PlayStation link cables if they’d made a virtual cockfighting simulator first.

When I was single digits young I remember trying to install something on our PC that was a total piece of poo poo even for the time, and not having enough space. I noticed that all the programs on that bad boy were there twice and I always used the smaller ones, so what the gently caress did I need these second giant copies of everything for? Immediately went to work deleting every duplicate I could find. I left myself with a bunch of shortcuts to nothing and totally hosed the computer up forever, because my parents were too dumb/broke/mad at me for killing the computer to take it to a shop and get it fixed.

Man that comment takes me back to my bigbox retail days, when a dude came in and specifically bought an entire pallet of VAIO machines because they were Made in Japan. Guy would not shut up about it but also wouldn’t elaborate on why that was important to him.

Debit cards, same difference Unless the US don’t commonly use debit cards? How do you pay for poo poo? How do you get the cash you must have to use instead out without a debit card to put in the ATM?

I can’t remember a thing about the computers we had at school, other than one year someone figured out that someone had presumably misconfigured something somewhere so you could just go up a level in explorer from your personal network share a couple of times and find yourself at the root of all the school’s network storage with full read/write access. Then once a few more people found out about that, one of them went ahead and nuked the entire thing and there was no backup because the IT department was one teacher who apparently had little to no idea what he was doing.

I’m at the point now where my ISP could be offering me faster service if I paid more but I already automatically download most of my Linux isos in a few minutes in the middle of the night so what am I even gonna do with all that extra bandwidth? Teenage me would be so loving mad that I wasn’t doing it just to flex with my speedtest.net results

I had an ISP from around the dawn of cable internet once tell me there was no way the cable modem they supplied me could be overheating, because there is nothing inside their cable modem that gets hot. Thermodynamics aside, I felt like the fact it was getting hot enough to hurt if you touched it and would only stay connected if I ran a little desk fan next to it said otherwise but it still took two hard argued for engineer visits to agree.
