Three Olives posted:Laptops used to be expensive as all hell. Had to check on an old Dell Inspiron 8100 I have (still works!) that I use for retro gaming & apps. New price in 2001 was almost $3k for that thick 8lb+ monster, only thing I needed to do was get a replacement battery since the original was completely dead. Got it when I was working at an IT MSP & a client had a literal closet full of old-rear end equipment they were sending to recycle, too bad I didn't get to go through the rest to see what other artifacts were there.

Cyrano4747 posted:The fact that your first computer was a P2 makes me feel incredibly old. Dunno exactly what the specs were but my dad had a desktop in '93 that was our first home computer. Still have fond memories of the first time playing DOOM. I think our second computer was around '95-96, it was an Acer desktop package with a 15" monitor, an old Pentium 100, 4MB EDO memory & I think like a 1.5GB HDD. I played so much Quake & DOOM online on that thing especially after dad upgraded the hard drive & doubled the memory to a whopping 8MB.

Inept posted:Most full time youtubers are doing patreons and merchandising because ad revenue is poo poo because youtube is a monopoly Yup, plus quite a few have different sponsorships so I suspect ads really don't bring much revenue for the creator, more for the platform than anything. YT, like any other large business, is using stupid manipulation tactics ("YoU'rE HuRtInG CrEaToRs") & they're failing because people see through the bullshit.

Maybe the HL Platinum Edition collection? Looks like that fits the timeframe & has 4-5 games, not a fully orange box though

I've stuck pretty close to DDTS, Der8auer & GN for the tech stuff, they're all a little different but I like some of the more project/mod style stuff that GN & Der8auer do. They all fit their own niche pretty well plus adding that needed levity & humor so it's not so dry.
