I was just wondering what OS you have used in the past, as the "What's your OS?" thread covers current OS(es).

I may have already mentioned this, but my first PC was a broken Windows 98 SE computer. It never worked. End of story.

Then, there was a Windows XP PC, which lasted quite long. It had 250 GB HD, 512 MB RAM and, in the second era (after the reset made on 2009, due to trying to uninstall manually the OEM Norton Antivirus (so it broke down)) it somehow managed to hold all my VMs. Now they take up at least 200GB.

Yeah, it was fun, and it survived from 2004 to 2011... the motherboard did, I mean. In 2011 I bought my current Windows 7 desktop with 1 TB of HD, which is what I'm still using.




--------------------

Welp, I'm playing Puzzle Bobble 2X, because why not?



Because I'm using my notebook with an earlier Firefox version, Photobucket doesn't break down (for now), so I could use it instead of IE.

Anyway, argh, I hate those blank bubbles. Unlike the wooden blocks, if they go under the line, you are dead. End of game. (except it's MAME so guess what's endless...)

Spot what's wrong in the picture.

A virtual cookie to anyone who guesses right.

I managed to make a working rescue disk off of my dad's 64-bit Windows 7, somehow I didn't think to try that before. I think I was convinced it'd still be linked to his PC or that he didn't have 64-bit or such. Either way, it worked, though I still need to go and get rid of that Ready Driver entry the right way sometime.

In case EasyBCD fails again, you could just try to use MSConfig to delete the entry, so you're sure not to cause any more problems like this one.

Although I have my own collection of chiptunes (mostly from video games), but is there any good VG Music or chiptunes you like? I need a bigger collection to fill up disk space...ehm, I mean for fun...

Jokes aside, any good chiptunes in your collection? Then, post!

Here's an 18.36GB torrent of chiptune music. It's an archive of music from a website called 8Bit Collective, which doesn't exist anymore. To top it all off, all the songs are licensed under Creative Commons 3.0

Oh god... 18GB..

Hoo boy, if my internet connection could download VX Netlux 60GB Torrent, why not this?

It will take me... yeah, in Italy, how much time?... let's j-just move on. (Downloading it anyway ).

Status of the character, act 2.


Nothing special. End.

This joke drawing here is a comment for everything but my this.

---

Anyway, want to know why I draw in a normal squared piece of paper?

See the first two pictures. Because to draw in Photoshop with a mouse I need something as a base, the sketch is drawn on paper. Then I (technically) should trace it in Photoshop. Lines help (but other times they don't).
The coloring is a side effect of me having too much time to waste with something horribly drawn.

Everything serious (like a joke SMW drawing with something not quite right on it), is drawn on a standard A4 no lines paper, actually for drawings and similar stuff, not a piece of paper for writing.

Oh, second hobby that I forgot about. Let's Plays! I'm not outstanding, but I like to think I'm also not cringe-worthy. It's taken a pause right now because of University, but I can see it coming back for a bit in the near future.

---

Wait, if that's an hobby (congratulation Kak, what were you thinking a hobby was? )...

..it also means the other hobby is playthroughs of Prototype games, fun with Lua and corruption. They're usually uploaded onto my YouTube channel, but some of them aren't.

Another favourite of mine is using a LUA script for a specific game in a different game. Makes NES games instant fun!

--------------------

Wat am I looking at...

--------------------

Because I hate myself, I'm listening to the Main theme of PS1 Bubble Bobble II.

I'm not linking to it. It's just... terrible. It may give an ear rape, so if you are crazy and you want to listen to it anyway, do a simple search of the game and there you go.

You have been warned.

Try VueScan? It does require the Canon drivers in Windows, but maybe you can get the Mac OS X or Linux versions working in a virtual machine with USB passthrough. Of course, you'll need to buy it to save unwatermarked output.

---

Welp, now printing works. It even works on this netbook I'm currently writing this post. The difference is that the drivers weren't installed here (it did all the Plug & Pray USB thing instead of using the install CD) unlike my desktop, so if I want to scan I have to go to the Control Panel --> Printers --> Scan.

This is how I scanned my last two drawings.

Welp, remember when I said...

Well, the fact you can just click once to show all the "comment reply chain" is good overall.

I forgot the character limit doesn't exist anymore.

You may accidentaly press "Show comment" and Woo Hoo, you got to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page.

Now you can even put links in comments. There was one comment in fact which looked like spam, but once you click "Show more" it says: "This could have been spam or a link to a virus." Yeah...

I'm signing the petition RIGHT NOW. Youtube was fun when there were idiots in the comment section . It's not with pointless discussions nobody cares about.
Where are all the comments which received many thumbs up now? Where's the fun now?

--------------------

I got inspired to make a thread like this after this post I made some hours ago...

Any bad VG music out there you love to hate? Share your ear rape!

IT'S TORTURE TIME!

Yeah I can't seem to reply to comments that are older than 5 days. That sucks terribly.

Let Tourettes Guy speak for me on what I think of this new comment system is...

I wonder how far google is going to keep making people bend over. I also wonder if people will actually get fed up using youtube because of how often they make changes to the site. I wish that there was a decent alternative to YT. The only one I can think of is daily motion but Google really does have a monopoly on YT. There isn't much competition. If TCRF could embed/allow videos from daily motion, I think I would consider switching over and let my YT account rot/dissolve along with deleting my G+ account. Like I said, something else to manage that I don't want to manage.

---

Wierd. I thought there was embed code for DailyMotion videos like in Youtube.
Maybe I'm just confusing things.

YouTube, getting worse and worse since April 2006.

Bubsy 3D 10 minute endurance match. Can you listen to the whole thing without exploding?

For the record, signing petitions does jack shit, if you want to affect it make it viral or something on twitter, etc and that will generate some bad PR; At least they care about that.

---

That's pretty spot on. I don't really feel petitions do anything either. Especially in this scenario. Google knows that YT is a monopoly since so many people use it compared to other video sites. Since most people are probably not going to leave YT regardless of changes made to the site, I doubt that Google will give a damn. If there was competition against YT then they might hear people out.

There are some petitions online to restore the original comment system... but we will see if they work. (hidden comment: I hate to sound pessimistic...)

I know it won't probably work, but signing a petition doesn't hurt anyone.
