discussion Anti-Social & Lurker - Hideout spot

[Scepter]

Is purchasing a gaming laptop a wise decision in the current market? Or have their prices risen exponentially as well?

Prices are only going to keep going up for at least the next 2 years is my guess, so unless your need can wait that long, now would be the best time to buy. That's the attitude I am taking as I need a new graphics card but it will be a few months before I can pull the trigger, there might not even be stock available then

Okay, so let me name a few:
- Splits
- Family time
- Dog's girl's best friend





Are you implying that you're a GIRL? Guy In Real Life?
Who doesn't even watch porn at least once?




I whoreheartedly agree with you there.

But the question is... Is it better than a Steam Deck?




Years? Did you mean decades?




Umm... Sky... Net?
No, wait. They aren't called that... Yet.

It's absolutely better than a Steamdeck. It has better/faster hardware, a larger screen, a full Windows OS (can play any game, not just steam games), and the sides detach like joy-cons... but wait there's more! The "joy-cons" have a toggle switch that lets them be used as an optical mouse so you can do actual keyboard+mouse FPS gaming on any surface. Oh, and better battery life.

I'm super happy with the device. I have a steamdeck and don't use it at all anymore.

There's no skill involved in slots. It's pure luck. One reason I wouldn't try - I always had terrible luck. So much so when I was a kid I sang that fa-la-la Xmas song as "fu-uh-uh-uh-uh-uck luck."

Man waaaay back in the day I managed my Dad's books for a year. He was addicted to gambling but only played slots. There was a huge amount of money in and out of that account and casinos but when all was said and done he consistently came out ahead. I don't know if he just has uncanny luck or if there is a method to the madness.

No, they're like the evil version of Vulcans.

One of my daughters has a 300-level university class where their assignments are to watch old Star Trek episodes.

Kids these days...

Star Trek TOS movies (by number) were always even = good, odd = shit. The opposite of Windows versions.

I heard somewhere that Nvidia have cut production of 50 series cards due to them increasing production of their AI chips and AMD don't have a contender to go against the 5090, can't really see prices coming down anytime soon unfortunately.

Yeah, AI needs more chips and memory than basically anyone else. They also have more money, so the companies that gamers funded for decades are leaving us.

@mime @MattaMus11

Mods, is it okay if I share member+ game names and the names of loli hentai I enjoy in my profile posts or general threads, as long as I don’t link them?

You can talk about the names of games that aren't allowed in the threads here. There might be an exception or two that aren't a good idea to talk about, but those would be games we'd probably have banned from this site.

After almost two feet of snow and now the temps are sub-freezing in the single digits for the last week.

Gotta say I was surprised given the last five years were I lived never had a winter.

We were in the 40's and low 30's with minimal snow at best.

Now it looks like another storm is moving t his week so joy is me.

its -2.2F (-30C) here with 2' (60 cm) of snow, I'm so happy that global warming is real or i would have bought a plane ticket to cuba

It is crazy to think parents exist on forums like these. I don't mean this in any rude way at all I swear! It just is a fact of life I have not come to terms to yet....

I don't think it's crazy for them to be here. The games, banter, and everything else on this site is fiction.

As an example, I've played plenty of GTA games, and I really don't want to do most of the stuff that I love doing in game. I pick up hookers in GTA games, but I have zero desire to do that in real life. In GTA, you fight with gangs, cops, etc. and I have zero desire to do that in real life. In plenty of games, I get a good laugh getting my characters fucked up on drugs and alcohol, but I don't want to get anywhere near those levels of fucked up in real life.

What I think you've somehow missed here is that for many of us (most, I hope), this is all fictional stuff.

I also watch some of the silly pornos where step-family stuff happens. It's fun, funny, and taboo in the videos. I have zero interest in doing anything with someone who raised me, I was raised with, or I'd be raising. Zero.

Yeah of course! I meant no harm and didn't think any of you would do that. As someone who is fairly young-ish I just recently got into college and joined a few forums for the first time I just have a very naive viewpoint of things.

This may be a "me" thing too and I promise I am not an evil heartless person to preface this, but it is kind of hard to imagine my online friends and peers having lives too. For example it is shocking to come to that realization every now and then that "wow they're not typing because they are doing something" maybe it's from playing too many singleplayer games haha

It's just diggleton rant time now but I genuinely am not even interested in the big L of mem+ I mainly want to upload and love to have full access to stuff I am a horrible completionist.

I kinda get this as well, as someone who is usually at my computer when I see people not respond to my messages for like 12 hours+ I start to question if they're ignoring me :3

I've run into that before! Someone got really angry with me, insisting that I was "ignoring them". I'd been asleep for most of that time...

Same lol the amount of times people complained about me not talking it's crazy high, I just sleep or get distracted or I'm just actually working or doing something

Have also ran into this before :3 I'd never go so far to actually confront someone about it since it's usually just insecurity on my side anyways <3
