The Elmdor-Appreciation-Out - Number of practitioners: one.

Speaking of Gamestop, yeah I haven't seen them sell older game stuff in their shops since at least the early 2000s. Now most of the store is just stuff like Funk pops and other GS merch. There's like one wall for games, I remember when they had all the walls full of games. While I think GS fate is inevitable. I really hope that physical media keeps existing.

that'd be nice but I've lost hope that there will be going forward. I think this

thumperbunnyeve~If Purchase does not entail ownership, then sharing shouldn't mean piracy.

is pretty good.

Turning everything into digital format and selling nothing physical, at least we can keep real money.

Edit:// corporations or entities driven by greed, let's compete at that game and show them who's greedier, not proselytize about how greed is wrong. Reflect the unsolvable problem of human avarice being twice as infinite as the universe back at its source as only solution to win in a zero-sum game.

Corporations exist to checkmate you at every move, play to win or you will lose. You share no interests in common. If neither profits, it's a draw and a perfectly played game of chess or tic-tac-toe. Have you seen the movie War Games?

In summary, Grouch? You want to fight corporate power? They profit, people are losing the game. Play to a draw if you can't win, you gain nothing and neither does anyone else until people realize the only winning move is not to play. Me, I'm not a stakeholder in anything and I have no common interests in generating or destroying wealth, not playing that game it sucks. My interests are in winning at games that can be won by not playing along or into the tactics or strategies others are expecting within a game that's rigged in a stock market casino where the house always wins. I get by with winning moves not playing zero-sum games. It's game theory, logic and math.

[Grouch]

a draw really does seem like the best outcome winning sure would be nice though.

Perfect games with nothing but winning moves end in a draw. Nobody has to lose, I don't play to lose.

Edit:// I sold my house in Key Largo because a series of crackhead thieves moved into the neighborhood in order to spare their lives because I did not want to shoot them for trespassing. Now I am renting a two bedroom house in Miami, my landlord thanked me for being such a good tenant.

"I'll be honest with you because honesty is best policy in the long run. If I am good it's because you are good to me, I am very good to good people and potentially dangerous to bad people, nobody's perfect and I'm not a saint. In the end I am a product of my environment and I have a ghetto side with street smarts matching my book smarts, rest assured that I have your back because you have mine and only people who mean you or your property harm would consider me a bad person."

Update on the two pc junkers I got...


The unidentified ASUS mb is ASUS Prime B250M-C.

So I pulled the 2x8GB Kingston sticks from the other rig and added them to the Prime mb, so it has those plus the original Corsair Vengeance LPX sticks now, all running at 2133MHz. The Corsair sticks can actually run at like 2400MHz but I'm fine with the way it all is now.

Also pulled the 480GB sata from the other rig and added it to the Prime setup, so it has 3x ssd now. Probably won't bother about adding a platter sata to it, I can just use usb3 drives.

Other mb (ASUS B150M-A) I've just put in a single Team Elite 16GB stick I had lying around, rated for 3000MHz, and threw in a spare 1TB sata platter drive... installing win10 now but this will just be put away as a spare atm. I know one stick is less than ideal but it's all I have to put in there... also I don't give a fuck




So main desktop rig is now:

CPU: Core i5 - 6500 @ 3.20GHz
Ram: 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 + 2x8GB Kingston DDR4 - both pairs @ 2133MHz
M/B: ASUS Prime B250M-C
Graphics: Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950 OC 2GB
Storage: 2x 256GB WD PC SN520 NVMe + 1x 480GB Kingston A400 sata3 SSD
Monitor: ASUS VW246H

Keyboard & mouse: Logitech K120 ( ) & Razer Deathadder essential - both were new at least, I had them stored away here for a while.


This rig is still running the original W10 Pro install so I need to do a fresh install, not today though I've done enough for the time being

atm I'm thinking all I'll probably do with this is maybe try out TES 2/3 mods and shit like that

[deadlegion]

I could probably do with a more solid psu though... recommend me silver/gold 600w or a little more

Excellent gift both in repurposed hardware and your gift at repurposing it. Right now I'm supposed to be sleeping because I start my mornings at 6 AM for a busy day, and I'm messing around playing games instead because at this rate WWIII will break out then play time is definitely over.

Been watching The Lieutenant (1963), not sure why I never watched it tbh.
I wasn't surprised to see Nimoy (I've seen him in plenty of 60's tv shows), but even Montalbán is in one ep and Koenig pretty much looks like a kid

is that a western or a WWII show?

Nimoy was a pro folk music singer too, and epic narrator. He was all over the place doing many diferent things including writing a book pointing out that he was not just Spock then one about being Spock.

Which reminds me, I'd like to see In Search Of episodes in chronological order of airing on TV without editing like on YouTube. Epic selection of topics and epic narrator.

I've been adding some mods to FO3 lately and got to thinking about doing some on my own(just armor and item stat mods) so I spent around 2hrs looking for any threads on it and finally came across one that was similar to what I was wanting to do.
The threads' only useful response was "look at a this tut here's a link" so I click on the link, it's dead so I try to find some tuts all I find are ones for doing textures and meshes *sigh* I'll have to make a thread and see if I can get an answer or at least a working link.
