    My first PC that I owned myself was 486 DX2-66 with 8Mb of ram, 14" CRT and 540Mb HDD.   Of course I'm an old bastard but that cost $2500AU in 1994    I think calculators are faster then that now

    I only subbed to vessel to support LMG and other content creators ....inb4 "i watch their videos, that should be enough" (TL:DR, its not, especially when you use adblock)
     
    adsense is not as great for content creators as it use to be.
     
    LMG should probably get a patreon going. as long as they manage it better than Tek Syndicate managed theirs.. it should be fine.

    Bicketybam got a reaction from Goku (Lzuigi) in Experiences with non-techies   
    At once place I worked, many years ago, a guy came in asking us to build him a computer, but as he went through the components he required (from a list I would say his mates gave him) he said, "oh and my mates told me to make sure I get a Stiffy drive"
     
    So hard to not laugh in his face when I had to correct him and say that he was after a floppy drive. :lol:

    Bicketybam reacted to bgibbz in Is VR just another flop like 3D?   
    It is too early to tell. Adoption for vr has been low, but this is to be expected. Honestly, all that will matter is price. If vr sets and computers that can run them can becom affordable for the average consumer, then vr adoption should significantly improve.

    This is the definition of a flame war. Guys stop. She knew what she was getting into when she posted this on a male-dominated forum. 
     
    I don't get Men.
    I don't get Women. 
     
    Basically the same thing. 
     
    EDIT: You'd be doing the same thing if you posted I don't understand women on a Jezebel forum or something.

    Bicketybam reacted to LinusTech in deceptive reviews and shoddy advertisement practices being cracked down on in youtube re Machinima/xbox 1   
    A lot of assumptions being made here.
    We don't take money to do reviews. We never have.
    We take money to do advertisements, which are never labeled as reviews.
    NVIDIA provided the graphics cards (and Cooler Master sent cases and coolers, ASUS sent motherboards, Intel sent CPUs, Kingston sent SSDs and RAM, Swiftech sent water cooling gear) for our editing workstations for product placement in the whole room water cooling series of videos we produced featuring this hardware extensively.
    In the grand scheme of things, $6000 of graphics cards (don't imagine that's their BOM cost on them either) is a great deal for 1-2M impressions on a series of videos about using them.. but those videos were NOT a review. They were about a clearly sponsored (we said it was more than once) outrageous project.
    As for sending "keeper" vs "loaner" units of hardware, yeah for many products we just don't do loaners anymore, but more than anything else this is to do with me not feeling like it's worth my time to play email tag for shipping labels and spend an hour driving to FedEX and filling out stupid international bill of landing and commercial invoice nonsense over like a $100 item that costs more to send back than to just not bother with anyway.
    That and quite frankly even a negative review (for some reason) often generates a lot of sales for the manufacturer.. so as far as I'm concerned they can eat the cost of the item and I'll do whatever I want with it when we're done reviewing it - whether that's continuing to use it personally (Pebble Steel and iPhone 6 come to mind) - or re-visiting it only when we need to re-do our comparative numbers (here's a lesson on why this is necessary and we can't just re-use old numbers)
    And on the subject of the Pebble and iPhone 6 - these are both items that were NOT provided by the manufacturer. One was purchased for my own use and the other was provided by a separate sponsor who makes skins for phones (dBrand), but I didn't necessarily mention this at the time because who cares? It doesn't colour my impressions of the device.
    Here's an item I wasn't allowed to keep and won one of the two editor's choice awards I've ever given out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1uj6wQTu58
    Here's an item was allowed to keep that I ripped apart saying it was worse across the board than the two similar products from other manufacturers that I compared it against: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-O1aCNrjV64
    Here's an item I was allowed to keep that I basically ripped apart on camera and sent it back anyway because it had so little value to me I didn't even want to give it to a friend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3AgcltUM9s
    And I could do this all day..
    You may notice that most of the items we review we are fairly positive about. There is a reason for this, and it has nothing to do with being paid to review it.
    I don't generally bother to review stuff that I already know is stupid junk.
    The bottom line is this. You can either trust me or not trust me. Ultimately that's your deal. My job is to do what I do, and the people who recognize it for what it is - my opinion being given to you - will follow, and the others can go find someone who maybe they think "hasn't sold out" but might just "happen to agree with them" to listen to. Enjoy.

    Luke repeated himself a few times, "Plug it into a library.. no wait, not sure if you can do that"  1 min later, "plug it into a hotel screen or a library monitor" .
     
    Hate to say it, not a very interesting video. Sounds like a paid advert you get in late night tv or just a filler episode while you make an iwatch review.

    Having a doll like this its just like having a dildo or fleshlight, only that a doll like this "satisfies" more.
     
    Dont hate because you cant buy one, this is freedom.
    Most of the men wont even come close to a woman looking even half as good as that doll.

    Bicketybam got a reaction from Osmium in GTA V PC has gone LIVE, but there maybe some launch issues...   
    It boggles my mind why they never stagger these releases by date/time.  Even a few hours apart (rather then full days) would have to be better then trying to cram everyone in at the one time.  A steady stream of updates rather then a mad dash HAS to be the better option.
     
    Through RSC I've already had one 54mb which had troubles and now on to the 2nd patch of 354mb which is also having download problems.
