Apple tried this shit in the 90s. I was working in a computer graphics place, the HNIC, and half the shop was Macs, the other 45% were SGI. Being a customer large enough that we could pick up the phone and call Apple and bitch at them if something went wrong with the hardware, or OS, we had a...

It's kinda funny; the gripes about it being shitty as a computer echo the complaints from back in the 80s when Spectravideo and Atari themselves tried to turn the VCS into a home computer. Atari released BASIC for the 2600, you had to have two of the keypad controllers that you got in Star...

Don't worry, her poison womb is protecting the souls of the yet-to-be-conceived.

Mcaffe did that, too. What good did it do him?

What's that Chinese word for "Good enough"? Yep. You could order 1000 solid plastic widgets from China and get a call a month later from the plant manager telling you "So solly, filst batch exprode."

Eh, it was "A New Ice Age" when I was a teenager. Then it was "Well, nuclear winter gonna kill us all." the first turned out to be false. The second turned out to be a lie. Sagan and his peers deliberately manipulated data to make a worst-case scenario pitch about nuclear winter. I don't...

I hope D&D quits appealing to trannies, queers, and furries, and they go back to Vampire the Masquerade and Werewolf and I can once again go to a game store and meet fellow neckbeards and talk about killing giants and drow elfs before I die of old age.

I didn't mind the Helm memory core so much, but I hated the 2750 designs (the look of them). But the HMC should have been put in in drips and drabs. Or better still, no new tech, but suggest that hey, lostech is no longer a thing: we can build new neurohelmets, fusion engines, sensors, and...

Xena is problematic because Lucy Lawless and the chick who played her main squeeze, Gabrielle, are both white and attractive. Now, put two fat dykes and make one of them a vilitigo covered black, then you could get away with it these days.

Here's a video tour of it. It's even worse than the still images. EDIT: also, it's been called further up in the thread, but yes this is an always-on, you-must-have-a-microsoft-account OS. Right there during the install, it says "continue with limited install experience" or something if you...

I loved it when someone cracked open the .EXE for the first ass creed game when they finally said "Look ma, no DRM!" and put it up for sale on Steam. Turns out they just took the nocd hack from some cracking group. ubisoft sucks.

I feel so late to this thread and I'll take my late ratings or whatever, but if I may... Local58 is just Kris Straub, author of the webcomics Starslip Crisis, Broodhollow, F-Chords and a few others plus some collabs with the hamplanet Scott Kurtz, stretching out his multimedia horror muse...

It was the prima nocte lie, but for negroes instead of Welsh. This is fetish porn. This is literally emasculation fetish porn. This is so queer black dudes who are also black supremacists but secretly have a humiliation fetish have something to beat off to.

Man, I wish I still had, or had access to, some of the computers of my youth. A PDP-8...a Commodore PET at home, a C64 for way, way too long (into the early 1990s, Geos + a commodore mouse and a proper 1702 monitor made it almost usable...goddamnit I wish I still had that thing!). Those were...

According to The Register, Apple's M1 chips were created with the same bad flaw that caused the Heartbleed vuln, so that's hilarious.
