I love physical media so no problem with that for me ha

Stopppppp ittttttt

Oh man!! Yep found this one in a goodwill tote wayyyyy back. Good game.

Sadly ps1 disc’s didnt age well. Rebuilding my collection in roms. Duckstation ftw!

Yeah I more enjoy building pcs from spare parts and making stuff work

Meanwhile im just starting now to grasp basic coding even though I’ve been computing for 25 years , ha! Gotta start somewhere.

I envy your childhood !

Uhh, kids today dont know the ctrl+f command in a pdf viewer. They grew up with ipads.

Its rare I see one that knows anything about how computers function. Most dont know what a folder is.

*the above are all real things I had interns ask in the last few months.

No, but I will learn more about it and make more decisions based on that. Just like how some people wont listen to kid rock even if they like the music (which i can’t imagine but whatever). Or wont buy a product because nestle kills babies. I think its called actually having principles.

I agree!

You could learn to be an artist. Just like how a musician learns…or a teacher learns…holy shit people are so lazy now!

Umm, most commercials you see now are already ai. Most movies (esp. The superhero genre) are ai as well. You can’t escape. Unplug.

Im conflicted. I mean good for you. But I have a deeper caring of art and media than that, so I care about the creator. The gibbity that Elmo told to make a nazi musical doesn’t appeal to me.

Well, it will be in 10 years. No one will be able to tell ai video or music at all. They already can’t (Spotify is full of ai slop music and people gobble it up). You’ll need to go to theaters or concerts to see anything human. Which could actually be a total renewing of live performance!

Seems like maybe that’s one of those jobs where you have to be buds with people to get along and make it look like youre part of the team. I’d imagine police or fireman or military work is a lot like that (guessing).

I’ve never worked those jobs but I can say for dang sure the second you start to buddy up with managers and such and get invited to bars with them, you make more money and do less work. Its bullshit and I left that job because the introverts doing real work were under rewarded while people who talked loud a didn’t do shit got promotions.

This is what I keep saying. NO ONE WANTS THIS. Its purely slop so ad companies can fire all their artists and give you unlimited targeted ads. Its the ULTIMATE enshittification.

Ha! Its a solid affordable card, i have 2.

Tbf, computers are so boring now. To have been around when it was really booming, and you were coding machine language and talking to the actual hardware in a pc, now THAT would be cool and motivating. Now its just stealing code or using Ai code to make a bloated java website. Like all things, it just got boring.

Trying to get myst running on a p3 with 256m ram was actually fun and interesting. Now you just install steam, ha

Im exactly the same way. Im mad at people using Ai to code because all my life wanted to code but can’t get it down (ADHD).

I wish I was someone who could go huh, this 1998 ms flight Sim stick doesn’t work on linux. I’ll write a program to make it work! But there’s no way that will happen now

But I can run linux and at least im not on windows so that makes me feel better.

Oh yeah, the cheap ones do, and this was just a second hand pc I got for 40 bucks to have for messing around with. The psu may not even be name brand as there’s no labeling at all on it.

Right now, throttling the wattage allowable from the card has fixed it! I ended up using LACT for this, which works perfectly.

Yes im very behind in the pc world. My brain still thinks 4 gigs of ram is massive, ha. My main pc is another rx 580 with a little bit better fx proc and 16g ram, and it does an excellent job for everything I do. The proc is definitely a bottleneck though. Maybe ill go am5 next year

Im the medium user with 6 hard drives, a ton of peripherals, audio equipment, 4 other desktops. I choose linux to make life even harder because otherwise im a lazy pos.
