I have a 19” compaq computer monitor for my 98 PC and a 27” Magnavox that uses S-Video

Plans were rejected by JFK in 1962. Hmmm I wonder what happened to him the next year or so..
Yeah, I would rather have an iPhone pro that folds down into a pocketable size rather than one that folds out into an iPad mini. 6.3” is already ridiculously large, I don’t need even more screen.
It misses the mark in that there is some candy that actually does cost thousands of dollars and if you don’t eat it and you have a certain condition then you will die. And if you cancel your members card then you won’t be able to afford it and the hospital is only legally required to give you a couple m&ms while you die if you can’t pay.
If only we had universal candy care, but that would be communism.
I can’t tell if this is a circlejerk or not.
Gamers could collectively boycott NVidia cards and it would barely make a dent in their bottom line. It’s time for gamers to show nvidia that they are unequally important to us as we are to them
I haven’t bought a nvidia card in over a decade. Start buying APUs, handhelds, or just keep your current card and turn the graphics down or start playing your backlog. And for the love of god don’t pay for GeForce now.
No input on the query. The question just reminds me of Chapelle’s Clayton Bigsby sketch
Yes, pretty much every active server on UO has one. This one is ours if you feel the fancy to hop on sometime (I go by VE_AG_RA on UO [long story])
I remember the good old days of the 300 pingers either being people on dial up or Aussies getting a morning game in. Yeah it’s be hard to scrim with that ping for sure. Thanks for sharing the game date URL. It’s a nice little site, we’ve used it a few times
Not sure if you read the article but it looks like organized crime is threatening to kill people on the “above board” platforms as well.
I also am against turning the state into the purveyor of gambling as it creates perverse incentive for the state to prioritize predating on problem gamblers and poor people in order to raise tax revenues. Money is fungible and as soon as the lottery becomes a funding vehicle for education it becomes the funding vehicle and you shift more of the burden off of the rich paying taxes and more on the poor to fund it.
I’m all for the state staying out of regulating vices but also the state shouldn’t be the one providing it to the populace.
Gambling is a moral issue, the prevalence of which is showing the degradation of the values of our society due to late stage capitalism. Unregulated capitalism places no value on values and only value in capital.
Don’t know if you are interested in COD UO but we have biweekly pugs every Tuesday and Sunday evening. I think the cod1 scene is pretty much like us. CoD2 seems to be the active community with a running league with like 9 teams or so.
Trying to build the community up on these old games
Specs-
MOBO: Intel D875PBZ board
CPU: Pentium 4 3.0GHz
RAM: 512MB DDR
GPU: Nvidia 6800 GT
Sound: Sound Blaster Audigy SB0090
Keyboard: IBM KB8923 Mechanical Mouse: Microsoft Intellimouse Optical

I have the whole thing connected to the Belkin SoHo KVM with my Windows 11 PC (behind the cabinet on the left) and my NUC that I use as a home lab server (on top of the Blu-ray drive on the right)
A blog post on the build will be forthcoming but feel free to suggest games and software I should load onto or AMA about the system.
It was a really fun project
Do I take the job? This weird guy keeps asking me to choose!

The premise of this article is wrong. It should say “Live Service” gaming. In the article itself it admits that Arc Raiders was a hit and it’s because it’s a “live service” game that isn’t ran as a live service game. It’s just a fun multiplayer game just like Halo 3 or old Call of Duty. If games were still made to be fun instead of over engineered money extractors then there would still be plenty of room for hits.
But capital doesn’t want a decent return on a hit. They want a money printer like Fortnite and so they’d rather take bigger risks to hook and abuse players into gambling addictions and forever recurring revenue machines than just make the good games that players are asking for that make their budget back and then some
