maybe she stole it from some other kid

can you believe that this movie quality animation was used for just an ad for a chinese F2P2W mobile-online game? this kind of 2D animation is quite expensive so i guess they expect to make a killing from the game https://imgur.com/xsiM7rW

they are equally bad but there are more console peasants than apple heathens so they went by numbers

here in Greece we are still going around wearing t-shirts. that "bye for now" was a missed opportunity to quote Divinity Original Sin where some NPCs say "goodbye for now... but only for now"

i'm playing Diablo 2 these days and decided to make me a rune word helmet. so after i got the horadric cube, i went to kill the countess in act 1 since she drops runes. i spend a total of 7 hours of killing and re-killing her, gathering runes and combining them until i could get the high level rune i needed... then in a moment when my brain was in vacation, i used the 2 runes to make the helmet... on a blue helmet with slots instead of a regular 2 slot helmet and 7 hours of grind went down the drain since the thing doesn't work on magical items

took a lot of googling and tinkering but i managed to get Diablo 2 to run in 3dfx glide (despite Blizzard's best efforts to lock in in direct 3D). it's like a different game - the game i used to play back when i had a voodoo 2. the colors are more vibrant, the dark is darker, the effects are more detailed, the animations smoother, the lighting quality could hold up to a modern game and despite it being locked at 25fps in both cases, with glide i couldn't tell that it was not 60fps if i didn't know it. for anyone interested, you have to use a glide emulator like dgvoodoo and make a shortcut for the game that has as target file "C:\Program Files (x86)\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe" -3dfx

i think i'll get an external drive and use it to make ISOs of every old game i have on CD/DVD. the drives are getting out of fashion and soon they won't even be supported by motherboards anymore.

since i took the time to clean my keyboard and removed all keys from it, i decided to also fix a problem that has been driving me crazy since i got it: the fact that the left shift required me to press it very hard to make contact. so, since the keys were out, i took a file and ground the base a bit (half mm or so) and now the key makes contact without any effort. it could be a defect on just this keyboard or could be bad design on this model in general but whatever the case, i won't be buying a logitech keyboard again because most of all i don't like the key layout

there was a problem with my experiment... i can't find the old HD4850 anywhere. well, i guess when the time comes to get a new PC, i'll get a new screen with it

haven't done it yet, but i was thinking of a way to bypass the need for an adapter to connect my GPU's display port to the screens VGA. so i came up with the idea to plug in an old HD4850 with a VGA output and connect that to the screen. the basic idea is for my RX470 to do the work and then pass the signal through the HD4850 to send to the screen. this way i avoid the myriad of drawbacks the adapter has, but i don't know if it can be done and what impact it may have on performance. google has been very unhelpful in search for info on the subject so i guess i'll have to go with trial and error... or send a request to AMD's support for info on if it can be done and how
