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

I just watch and delete because I don't ever really watch anything more than a few times anyways.

The only kind of stuff I've ever made backups of is dev software and old keygens because . well - that kind of stuff disappears too easily with the new&shiny fad.

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 always saw kobolds as 'slightly redder than normal goblins' in old grindy korean MMOs

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 use Krita because I do hand drawn animation so I haven't pirated photoshop since like . . 2008. Also use a tiltpen with it to paint tangent normals for bump mapping sometimes. Once I obtained good drawing tablets and stopped painting with my mouse I stopped caring about photoshop and its features

gdday' lemon!

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

Leaking content before debut? Evil and it hurts the owners. Very much stealing.

Releasing torrent too close to original release date? Kinda mean and can really hurt initial sales.

I'd rather people be more mindful and considerate of these two things. After that time has passed though... Nothing else comes to mind. :)

Just wanted to point out that having some standards is good if you want piracy to be respected

Constantly migrating your data from one storage to the next seems like the only real way.

Hardware solutions personally. . raise too many doubts. Like those "100 year discs", that just screams untested/untestable.
