Person’s entire persona is disclaimers(wuss), boilerplate(not an essay), and telegraphing pun intentions(oldfag).
STFU and just say what you want directly.
An 8 inch mini monitor. I find myself . . . using it for everyyyyythhiiinnnng. Videos, documentation, Remote Desktop Sessions etc etc etc. It even has composite and BNC so I could hook up a playstation if I wanted to. :)
I bought it just because the thought of having it was funny. And holy crap the size difference!!
‘videogame ice effect’
I seriously love the over-the-top ice shaders used in all those early 2000s games. Ice always looked amazing, just this super bright white with pearlescent whitish-blue highlights that shimmered at odd angles and stuff. It’s so cool.
Like the bridge tunnel in IceFields from HaloPC in 2003.
Or the almost-fully-transparent ice tunnel in Crysis Warhead (and firefall. Firefall had AMAZING ice shaders, it had some direction-based visual stuff going on where it had volumetric speckles all throuought the foot-thick ice).
Honestly: ice-themed anything looks cool to me, color-wise

Seeing only (edit…) two to three // results per scroll is way too cramped.
I miss the early 2000s when you’d get like 15 or 20 search results a page on a 1280 monitor because hosts weren’t BLIND.
I want that as a real UI option 😶
There’s also funfactor in having physical media and limited choice. A phone with an entire collection on it is just. . plain. standard. even boring. And the handicapped phone UI ruins the rest of the smartphone experience if you wanna do other things with the phone other than listen to music.
Modern CD players also read newer formats, unlike the old-stock CD players off of ebay from 30+ years ago that only read raw CDA tracks

I always saw kobolds as ‘slightly redder than normal goblins’ in old grindy korean MMOs
Of course there’s a fee. Do they not realize how expensive it is to fileserve useless videogame data, provide versioning for that, updater systems, workshop storage, curation, promotion etc etc. . . without help?
Is there not a fee for your competing storefront? How would it fund its daily operations?
Is it bad that I call the sizes written on american women’s clothing ‘cattle gauge’ measurements?
I wish they actually looked like the picture though… Every single type I’ve tried are just standard square popsicles. No cool asterisk shape :(
I once used it every day for about two weeks trying to track down the original helpfiles and maxscript documentation for 3dsmax 4 and blender for windowsME. … across various dead webpages, etc etc. Only ended up finding it on some completely unrelated warez disk. As for the really really old blender version? I don’t remember. I don’t even think I have the files anymore
I hate buying 12 packs and then finding out that half of the cans are depressurized(and unfizzed!) from being crushed because of these stackings :(

it doesn’t do any noises unless you set it up that way intentionally.
I learned that it could do it. Then I set it up that way intentionally.
I actually really like that the washing machine and my makita charger do those noises just because I’ve never heard appliances do musical stuff before and think it’s really cool. BUUUUT:
I would totally hate it if anything.* aaaanything at allllll* in the kitchen were to make music the same way. Microwaves – and the oven – and the pressure cooker – are already extremely loud and obnoxious as they are.
The washing machine and battery charger are somehow fine just because I don’t associate them with the kitchen appliances I grew up being screamed-at by. The whole ‘conditioned to be annoyed by X but when Y does it it’s fine’ thing
luckily I just have a cheap emerson that lets me do whatever I want to set the time so that’s not an issue.
My sister though… Has one of those ‘old’ microwaves that sits there all arrogantly and ignores you unless you hit clear AND use the set time button just to be able to begin setting a cook time. It’s very annoying and the habit of having a lazier microwave always trips me up when I’m forced to use her more pedantic older microwave
The toilets at my moms house are teeny tiny so this doesn’t matter on them
But yes… without the toilet plunger on the right: Do not even try the left one with a modern day toilet, it’s sooooo messy
