Due to financials, I currently cannot get a commission from my favorite artists. Specifically a ref sheet of higher quality than my current skills and some fan art as well. Similar thing applies to getting a VTuber model and trackers with the help of said ref sheet/s… just to say I’ve tried it.

Besides, that’s a lot of work to try and get all that VTubing stuff to work on linux. Either that, or I am dumb.

Still not 100% on sarcasm, as an autistic person. Sometimes slips through the cracks for me when others use it. That’s despite me being a somewhat sarcastic person.

That was one of the games that would absolutely catch my eye if I didn’t already watch a playthrough lf the whole game.

After looking at the list and such, there was genuinely only maybe 3 games on that list that would even be able to convince me to even want a PS5. And one of those 3 games is just an enhanced version of a game that came out on other platforms as well originally.

Cartoon Network Racing. Clearly mostly made to make money off yoing kids who like the CN shows they had included in the game. I’m talking about the PS2 version since I have zero experience with the DS version. Fun in its own way.

Similar things apply to the Ed Edd 'N Eddy Mis-Ed-Ventures gamecube port and PS2 port of Codename Kids Next Door Operation V.I.D.E.O.G.A.M.E. as well.

None of these games are more than tie in games with enough content to make the kids buying them not get bored quickly, but yeah, they’re all fun in their own rights when doing a blind playthrough… something I wish I could do for these games again.

Even if your PC doesn’t have a disc drive by default, you can still enjoy the games by getting a USB disc drive. I literally got one originally for my laptop and have been using it with my current desktop. It’s been a good purchase when audacious is allowed to read the disc.

I am kinda boring since I’m usually not as big of a fan of music from the 16 bit consoles when compared to the next gen, but due to childhood nostalgia of playing Sonic Mega Collection, I love the Green Hill Zone theme alongside Emerald Hill Zone theme. I personally think they sound marvelous when I listen to them with headphones plugged into my Genesis.

I cannot make any meaningful statements about my other favorite, Palm Tree Panic ( present ) JP version since I don’t have a Mega Drive, Mega CD, and Japanese copy of Sonic CD. But it’s still a bop in my book.

Depends on if you wanna do it in a more ethical manner or not. One way you could do it, at least for some places with the resources necessary, is basically forcing tech companies to subtly change your algorithm to slowly push you to believe that you being obese is bad… or that it’s bad in general. Subtly make fatphobic content more accepted by you until you decide to try and change your habits to not be fat. Though, that could just as easily backfire and lead to a spike in suicide for people unable to do it, which is obviously bad.

Though, I think the better option ( at least in my country of the States ) is actual proper education on healthy eating and exercise combined with working on fixing the economy so people have more free time while also having a living wage and access to affordable healthcare.

I’m not gonna embarrass myself with the first set of things, so probably a few things on my devices. I have some NSFW and SFW kinda spicy stuff on my laptop, 2 desktops, and phone. Things I would personally be kinda embarrassed about sharing with people that aren’t furries… it’s yiff and SFW furry writing of mine. A lot of incomplete writing, mind you.

Weak! Processed wood is nothing compared to the mighty tree! Plus, you get a healthy snack of bark and cambium while also keeping your teeth from growing too long!

It was a $400USD lenovo budget desktop, so you can probably do the math on why there was so little ram. I’m pretty sure they designed it specifically for running things like an office suite and other low resource intesive software.

No slight against lenovo, but I’m positive it was meant to be for light work and I just used it for more than I should have.

Edit:

Thought about it, and around 2021 and not 23 when I got it. So still doesn’t make a super huge amiunt of sense, but whatever.

Between a laptop I got fall 2019 or a desktop I got some time around 2023. Both were decently priced, though, so it wasn’t terrible.

The laptop was from a pawnshop. Was a detachable monitor touch screen type that had battery issues and is really underpowered. No matter what, the battery drains like the thing is on. Couldn’t run win10 very well and did a little better using ubuntu. Now it kinda sits doing nothing since I have long since updated to a better laptop a couple years ago.

The desktop was a brand new but was a budget device that is not the greatest. Had 4gb of ram and weak other components other than the 1tb hard drive. Did its job well enough that I cannot complain. Mostly got it for the disk drive and plenty of USB plugs. Worked a little better when I upgraded to 16gb ram, but not anywhere near the level of my current desktop.

Edit:

I have given it some thought, and it was around 2021 when I got the desktop. Time is all fuzzy sometimes for me.

That was me, fall 2019. Got a pawnshop laptop that I thought was gonna be good enough. It was not that good and couldn’t properly even handle win10. Wasn’t the greatest under ubuntu, but was better.

Still, not my best choice.

Edit:

2019, not 2020 when I got it!

If you ask me, the ones doing this type of shit are either plants from the other side and/or unknowingly one of them.

I got no issue demonizing anyone and anything that uses genAI ( not the normal stuff you get from phone 10 years ago that are basically just over glorified filters, got different issues with them ) for image generation no matter the use. So I am absolutely with you on hating the image.

Had to look up CD skips to be sure we were thinking of the same thing. Pretty sure you can emulate that using a similar setup to what I have: a portable LG USB disc drive and VLC. IDK if this is a me issue specifically, but VLC loves to cause the first few seconds of any song on CD to skip when using that portable disk drive of mine.

I mean, yeah, it’s retro music now. And in my opinion is best played on a retro Sony Discman with appropriate retro headphones. I mean, how else can I best enjoy my For Squirrels CD or Blues Traveler or Local H or… you get the point!

Only problem is the fact my discman is a battery hog.
