Slop guy: Whoa. I know kung fu.

*attempts to stand up, shits himself violently, falls over*

AI knowledge base: That's not just brave - it's insightful. You're right to call me out on how that isn't technically kung fu and it won't happen again

It's just struck me that the slopoholics really want AI to be that bit in The Matrix where someone taps some buttons and suddenly the knowledge is there.

It was dim, slow and with horrible colours, a total disaster!
Sold it to a coworker and got a Viewsonic VX922, was so much better at everything, but If I had knew better I think for that kind of money I could have gotten an awesome big CRT, it wouldn't have fit on my desk... Or anywhere πŸ˜‚

When I moved to Spain in 2003 I had to left my 19" Mitsu in Venezuela, it started to make a weird sound when I turned it on and sometimes it fail to gave an image. I downgraded to a 17" LG flat CRT but I missed the size, so as soon as I could I got an LG 19" TFT. What a joke. 🀬

Yeah I really missed out not playing this game on a CRT all those years ago. I took a look at Half-Life 2 for my first time on a CRT compared to my old LCD and it was like night and day. IDK why we even called LCDs an upgrade back then lol

Photo of a sketch on a table with multiple acrylic pens scattered around it. The sketch depicts a torii door with red / orange leaves tree on the sides. In the middle of the door stands a little samurai silhouette and on top of it sits a cat.

Can you spot the cat ? I think you can.

Tried to only use acrylic pens for this one. I'm not convinced but here we go anyway 😹

Here's my list. It's not definitive, and misses a few games that aren't options on the site.

Reminds me of that joke about 2 dogs shagging in front of Little Billy and his grandad.

Little Billy β€œGrandad what are those two dogs doing?”

Grandad β€œWell the one in front is blind and the one behind is pushing it home”

A small male toad is on top of a larger female toad. The male toad is gripping the female toad using his front legs. The female toad has a look of deep resignation as if to say she couldn't give a fuck, as opposed to the male toad, who clearly is.

Awwww look. The lady toad is giving the man toad a piggy-back up our garden path tonight. He must be tired.

Cleaning out some stuff. I found the CPU from my very first custom build, one I used to learn FL Studio and to write all my music from 2002-2007, pretty much the pivotal moments that started music for me for real. It needs to be cleaned properly. Maybe I’ll figure out a way to frame it.

The, more or less, completed build of a 486 DX2 66 retro gaming PC. This is the era I did most of my gaming in as a teen. Will be posting some YouTube videos on the build soon.

There was an attempt. Screenshot of a generated image of a Dreamcast with glaring mistakes regarding how the optical drive is implemented within the shell housing. Taken from AliExpress.

Can't quite fathom why, but something tells me that so-called "AI" may have been used in the doctoring of this image of a SEGA Dreamcast.

Certainly an interesting choice of optical drive assembly.

Pese a arrancar como una comedia romÑntica, "Días de vino y rosas" (1962) termina siendo un emotivo alegato contra el alcoholismo. Magistralmente dirigidos por #BlakeEdwards, la pareja protagonista brilla en una de las mejores interpretaciones de sus respectivas carreras. #JackLemmon #LeeRemick 🍷🌹

If you like something, like the hell out of it. Don't let others force you to feel otherwise.

Speaking personally, I'm a guy whose job is daily news, which includes war, crime, death, etc.

I don't care who you are! I deserve to enjoy a stupid video game, or cartoon, or plushie, or what have you!

Remembering the Michelangelo virus People were afraid to turn on their computers March 6, 1992. But I did.

The Michelangelo virus gave a big scare in March 1992, arguably the first of its kind. But since viruses had fewer ways to spread in 1992 than today, it didn't have the expected impact. I understood the risks, and was defiant. #retrocomputing #vintagecomputing dfarq.homeip.net/remembering-...

I know people are concerned about some things in this article like Gemini encouraging the man to go to actual real world locations to commit mass violence and giving instructions for how to kill himself, but you have to consider: Google said Gemini is designed not to do that and β€œpobody’s nerfect”

Let me get this straight, she don't blame the USA administration that wage that war, she is happy that some unrelated country get bombed?
BTW. I, wasn't that, the war justified with fake mass destruction weapons?

Iran and Iraq have similar names but they're completely different countries with completely different languages, culture and history.

Americans have been hostile to or at war with them for decades and theee illiterates still can't tell which is which.
