    This is Windows 8.1, but I tried to make it look (and function) like Windows 7. You all probably know I love this OS to death, so I'm delighted with how this turned out! <(^-^)>

    @DragonMals, I don’t use older OS’s but I do see the appeal. Modern Windows (and even some Linux distros,) are honestly filled with too many features either I don’t use or want. Kind of why I use Linux, because the option for stripped down or stripping down is there and easier

    Win7 has such a unique design, like, they took everything good from the past versions and just made it GOOD and BEAUTIFUL

    The Catboy While I'm not a power hungry user, I manage to use what I can have for the PC. Copilot, even (even if I roast it 100% of the time, It's good but the advertising is TOO MUCH) that I use to find information in conjunction with actually reading the Arcticle. I wish that I can have similar features (not exclusive to Copilot) and apps that are on Linux but I can't.

    After having owned Androids for my entire life, I caved and bought a secondhand iPhone (2nd gen SE) less than a week before the release of Puyo Puyo Puzzle Pop.

    This walled garden better be worth it. ╰(‵□′)╯

    And one small thing I've picked up on recently, look into Guided Access in the Accessibility settings if you happen to be accidentally closing touch-based games during play that might rely on swiping a bit too close to a screen edge. It's basically just a mode that locks you into an app until you triple press the lock button. I kinda wish it were the default for games lol

    After a few days of ownership, I can safely say it was definitely worth it!

    CeX (retailer) seems pretty cool. Though, it seems to only be in Europe for now. I wonder if there's any way to import...

    CEX is not exclusive to the "UK" :angry:

    CEX is enjoyed by "ALL". Everywhere :D

    And some, even more than others :creep::evil::creep:

    Not quite the response I expected, but, I see how it'd appeal to some!

    As a British person, CeX is pretty cool but it's really the only larger tech chains in the UK if you don't want to shell out a kidney as opposed to just buying online. I think they're also all across Europe - saw a few in the Netherlands a few days ago. Usually a cash exchange place is better for used tech, especially if you're looking to sell.

    We waited for so long for a new Puyo Puyo game, and only Apple users can play it. Sucks to see that I'm not an apple user, even though they're going through a *lawsuit* right now.

    I will note that Apple Arcade exclusivity only bars the game from releasing on other mobile platforms. It could still make it to PC/consoles if the interest were there to port it.

    Someone managed to FC arguably one of the hardest charts in the whole franchise with a DS4 controller! It was years ago, but pretty cool nonetheless!
    Well, I tried Linux again today. Managed to make more progress this time. (setting up Gamemaker, Steam, Discord, etc...) But Proton and Wine just couldn't run games without crashing. So, back to Windows, I guess. :/

    I considered that but passed on it for personal preferences and possible performance issues.

    However, I've acquired considerable knowledge about Linux from this attempt. So that's always nice!

    I’ve not had crashing issues in quite some time with Linux. I feel like something was wrong with your setup.

    That doesn't take away the fact there's still people on dial-up or very slow connections.
    People with older hardware where browsers crawl shit down to a halt when loading multiple 10 billion pixel images.

    Praying that the NTIA is semi-accurate, ~%0.4 of people in the US still use dial-up. Though, that info is from 2021 and very well could've gone down since then. But it's nice to know y'all haven't dropped support for it!

    Also shows how long GBAtemp has been around!

    Edit: don't forget, there's a world outside the US where people still have dialup.
    Try Puyo Puyo Sun when you can! Very fun game!

    I've already played that game before on PSX, and I still love it to this day.

    Hey! February 4th will mark Wisp's 2nd anniversary! (or the idea of it, anyway..) For the occasion, I've made commemorative artwork. It's pretty bad. But it's better than last year when I did nothing :|
    Enjoy!

    I am mad because the drive isn't even that old. I never expected it to die so soon
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    i'm gonna do my backups tonight for reals
    +2
  • MysticStarlight @ MysticStarlight:
    It does a clicking sound and Windows doesn't recognize it
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    clicking = bad, i'd still try it on a linux box or a mac, out of desperation
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Do you recommend any way to back up?
  • MysticStarlight @ MysticStarlight:
    I will keep trying, but that clicking sound seems like the moving parts are stuck or something
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    i use a mac, so I just leave time machine running, not real sure how to back up on a windows box

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Buy SSD copy everything over and no more clicking lol
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    yeah clicking is bad, i don't do much recovery these days, so i don't know if the old tricks still work

    Pretty much they do but only because mechanical is still mechanical

    @Psionic Roshambo, the only hard drive i have is the one on my pc
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a weird thought, Sega with the Saturn it was a train wreck a pile of chips, but it does kind of fit the design philosophy of Sega at the time.... The Genesis/Sega CD/32X machine was probably loads of fun to program for
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Damn, the new COD coming soon is 310gb on series s/x

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, I bet a good chunk of the space games have is due to unused content
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    310GBs lol ISPs hate this one trick
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    DLC will be a svelt 32K download lol
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I think you only get like 425gb on a series s hard drive, so you get 1, 2 next gen games max
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, so you need to have another series s if you wanna play more games?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Nuh you buy extra HD n add to it, but not cheap
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, how can a console have more than 1 hard drives?
  • MysticStarlight @ MysticStarlight:
    usb expansion? I know the PS4 can do this
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, oh Yea I recall my PS3 can do that
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Modded ofc
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Speaking of my PS3 i havent downloaded any games yet bc my wifi is too slow
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    and also because blackouts here are very common and that could damage the console
