discussion Anti-Social & Lurker - Hideout spot

Another day another fap...

As a side note, what is the main difference between this and Fuck95? It seems like such a niche audience that where really wouldn't be a need for multiple sites dedicated to it.

We try to have a friendlier community here. There's some content here that isn't there, but I think @Underlord got you a good description overall.

That tracks.

Smaller == slower but more niche content.

Exactly. The larger site will always have (at least slightly) faster game uploads.

Man at the risk of kicking the hive or looking at the gift horse - how does LC get around the rules/laws which keeps the really good stuff off of Fuck95? I'm glad it does, or I will be once I hit the magical games+, but I can't help but be curious.

That's an easy question. This site avoids hosting illegal content. Laws are not the same everywhere, but it seems to me that they ban things that even one country says is illegal. This site mostly only bans things that are illegal in the countries where the site's infrastructure or owner are.

from my short time here it seems people are a lot less....... rabid, is the only word i can think of compared to Fuck95

I've only run into a few issues in many years on that site, but we try to keep things friendly here. I'm glad your experience here has been good so far.

As a total side note, please correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears that posting etiquette here is to give a reaction and then reply so that the original poster gains the extra coin?

Not really. You don't have to react to someone, but it's a lot more common here to react to content. And that starts from the idea that it does give ActivityCoins when you react to someone's post. When I reprimand a user for something about their post, I usually don't react to it, since even a negative reaction gives coins.

Well, it's like fame - it's good as long as they talk about you, it doesn't matter how.

Do you accept suggestions for daily themes by the way?

Man, my laptop finally gave out today. The audio was crackling all day and then, of course, after I hit it out of frustration, the sound just died completely. Classic.

I’ve been using this thing for almost 10 years, so I figure I deserve a new one at this point, but I still want to repair the old laptop too, just in case I need a backup.

This machine has been through so much with me. The battery even bloated (super dangerous, could’ve exploded), so I had to remove it myself.

And to top it all off, I just bought a new phone, so my budget is already tight. Anyway, does anyone know a good mid-range gaming laptop under $1,000?

For those who missed it, here's today's theme!

There's always the classic uniforms...

But I think everyone will appreciate the new uniform requirements on my vessel!

Do you accept suggestions for daily themes by the way?

Always have. I toss them on the backlog and get to them when I get to them. Often the suggestions are ones we've done before, which just means I'm more likely to repeat them sooner.

With AI driving GPU and VRAM prices up, are laptops overpriced right now? Kinda tempted to just wait 2–3 years until the bubble deflates.

not really actually, big brands are getting ram for cheap the only people fighting for ram are enthusiast builders. laptop prices are about the same as they were a year ago. dont except it to ever go down, just up

Acer, huh? I was actually leaning more toward ASUS or Lenovo.

ASUS because my old laptop is ASUS too, and that thing is thick and durable as hell. It even fell from a medium height once and was still totally fine.

Lenovo because that seems to be the general consensus on Reddit.

Exactly. I think a lot of people are better off buying moderate to low priced equipment if they need to and waiting for prices to come down before going expensive.

Pre-built computers haven't jumped too much yet, but I've seen most laptops, miniPCs, etc. jump at least $100 in the last month. I expect their prices to increase more when their stocks of equipment start getting replenished at higher prices.

wow....... that is a bad thing to happen now in this RAM climate. you (and your loyal laptop) have my condolences

if it is not soldered in it may be a good idea to grab some of that ram out of the device! lenovo was doing a good for value range of gaming laptops a year ago 40 series and now some 50 cards, but their prices have gone up a lot. some of their "legion" series laptops are on sale (not the hand-helds), but what i saw was fifty or sixty dollars-so over your budget.

as MattaMus11 (how in god name do i tag someone ) said it is very possible for RAM to just keep going up...... many manufacturers are starting to put less or even sometimes older ram sticks in their consumer products..... some desktop computers pre-built have even been shipping without ram at all i have seen.

if you saw my bank balance you would know for sure i am not one to give financial advice but it may be a bad idea to wait too long.

It is a sad time to try buying computer parts ;-; (also to tag someone do @ then their name <3)

I can also relate :3

Truth. It's one reason why having some old RAM or SSDs sitting around can be very useful right now.

it may be a bad idea to wait too long

Yeah, some things you can still get for reasonable prices, so buy those now if you need them. If you can wait a couple of years, it might be worth it for some stuff.

Besides having games they won't allow, the mods and admins here aren't power hungry twatbags that delete anything they don't like and ban people on whims.

Thanks. Ten years is a hell of a run. He will be remembered.

I’m assigning him a male pronoun because, at one point, he was storing a truly heroic amount of porn for me

And don’t you mean $600 over my budget? I checked the Legion 5 Pro series where I live and it’s going for $1,600+.

Man, it’d be amazing if it were actually around $1,060.

My condolences regarding your hardware. I was lucky to assemble a desktop pc before the insane spike in ram prices, and I am glad I didn't wait.

I have a 13yo lenovo ideapad laptop still kicking. It's my emergency computer, running less demanding idle games most of the time.
Its 1tb 2.5" 5400rpm hdd has a lot of bad sectors, but I don't use it for storage anymore. System runs on M2 256gb SSD - bought ~10y ago and it's still working well. CPU performance and low ram limit some of my browsing experience, but it's working. Not sure about modern Lenovo laptops, but good luck, you will need it while trying to save money...

try the lenovo website the price seem to be less there specifically for the legion 5 you mentioned. i think they are having a sale with a coupon or some such you can sort by lowest cost

also to tag someone do @ then their name <3

ok..... well now i just feel stupid
