What about you 5 years in the future?

Actually, if the hardware shortage doesn't just suddenly fix itself in the next year, I'll be pretty happy with my decision. I'm more scared that the M1X chip will disrupt the market, bringing down my pcs value

Afraid that has to be *furiously typing* in my mind.

@MajinCubyan Thankyou!

Looks pretry good!! Always awesome to see user review content

@Chary Happy you think so, had some fun writing the review

Thankyou!!!!!

Now I know custom gamemodes are a thing but they should make it official and market it

People like content? What a shocker.

Chop it down and customize it so it'll fit in a 5.25" bay.

@DinohScene That'd be dope but I have little experience taking things apart.

Well.. you don't have to customize it to much, quickly put a DVD drive on it, pretty much same dimensions.
Still, it would be sweet yep!

If I am ever stupid enough to have kids and stick around they will learn the dark arts of piracy before they can walk.

I thought I was going to have a bad experience with input lag for a fast paced game like Doom but I was pleasantly surprise how nice it feels to play. Playing on controller feels like playing a console game. Playing on pc, you can feel some input lag but it is not enough to hugely affect your aim and it is very consistent compared to Geforce Now

Teaching basic computer usage… Hahaha. Here in Germany there are a lot of teachers that aren't able to use a computer properly themselves. Using a computer (=smartphone) is more or less equivalent to using WhatsApp for them.
I agree: There should be done A LOT more at school.

About programming: Getting to an advanced level, solving complex problems and developing full-blown applications or putting non-trivial algorithms into C code goes beyond what an average teenager should have to learn.
Using BASIC or similar to get a feeling for simple use of variables IF-statements and loops could be easily done though.

That's what I meant, honestly - simple programs, meant to exercise the students' creativity, like those old BASIC programs in gaming magazines used to. Here's a small sample game; copy it down into the computer, and try to tweak the SFX if you can, or change the colours, or add onto it in some way.

Usually depends whether the graphics are failing to look fancy or succeeding at being simple

@Seriel This is exactly how I feel. The game's presentation needs to look intentional. Simple graphics are better than a game failing to look realistic
