The Doom 2016 Kid

Uh...if you look to my sig, you'll clearly see that it is actually "congratulsi".

It's an infamous misspelling from the days of games past. Ghostbusters, to be specific.

it don't freeze abd od computer with 2GB of RAm ??? I saw a lot of people with better computers to say bad about skype consuming so much memory XD
(I have this problem, so I use web version now :B )

Woah, the web version is unusable to me. I only have 2GB of RAM and Skype runs fine.

I've personally spent $1300 CAD for my laptop, and that was totally worth the price.

He wants something that will run ANYTHING FOR YEARS? He has to pay, no other choice.

And mine is from a Game Center CX 2: Arino no Chousenjou spritesheet.

Oh I see. They sell "PC"s

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

Glad you know that they do now.

 

[TotalInsanity4]

Eh. I'm not particularly happy with the fact that they're Steam machines, which is why I put "PC" in quotes. They're just too overpriced for what they are

 

[vayanui8]

Considering the price, specs, support, and benchmarks, I don't know why you'd ever buy a Steam machine. They're more expensive, have mediocre specs, and they run Steam OS which supports less software and gets worse performance than Windows. They could have been promising and were and interesting idea but they fell flat in execution.

You want something like this?

 

[VinsCool]

Wtf my laptop is much better for a much lower price. Lol

Good job good for you.

So wonder what @Sora de Eclaune plans are then?

 

[Sora de Eclaune]

I'm taking him to Best Buy. Or maybe he's taking me. We haven't decided on who's driving yet. I suspect we'll get distracted quite a lot - last time I was there they had hologram advertisements and kitchen gadgets and anime and all sorts of stuff.

Umm how old his he?

 

[Sora de Eclaune]

Umm how old his he?

He's at least 25. About my age, honestly. Why?

Was just curious why he acted like he was 10 years younger compared to you. You seem more mature. O_O

Anyone sounds younger when you only know them by their antics.

For example, friends of my roommates on Facebook that don't have me friended as well apparently believe I'm 12 and will not believe otherwise until we are in the same room. I've actually met friends of my roommates who have actually said "oh man, I thought you were like 10 years old, not an adult!"

Of course, my roommates' Facebook posts about me amount to "I just slapped myself in the face with shaving cream. Thanks [my name]" and "[my name] is sitting in footy pajamas and eating cereal at 4 in the morning. What the fuck", so it's no wonder people think I'm 12.

Ummm right, guess it was inappropriate of me to say that, sorry.
Guess i meant to say he acted like he was 10 years old.

In the way of PCs, he has the skills and knowledge of a 10 year old. Just like me, before I joined GBAtemp. If I was still the way I was back when I first joined, and had the same issue my friend does, I would've probably been banned.

Why is that?

 

[Sora de Eclaune]

Why is that?

Back when I first joined GBAtemp, I had no sense of understanding technology other than "if it doesn't do what I want then it must be because I don't know how to make it do that" and "technology is amazing, it can do anything I want". I only joined the site because a friend gave me an R4 and a DS Lite. I didn't know what an R4 was, but I knew the good people of this site did, so I came to pick some brains and gain a bit of know how.

But if I had a catastrophic issue like my friend's "let me play Doom" issue, I would have blown up. Full on "you tell me how to fix this for free. You tell me. I swear to you that I saw someone do this on their Windows 98, so you tell me how to fix this for free" belligerent crap. I was not as tolerant of tech not working as intended as I am today. To this day I have yet to play Half-Life 2 because it wouldn't work on a PC I had back when the game released, because my feelings at the time sullied the experience (I also have yet to play and complete the original game, which doesn't help).
