    Old vs New?

    Nice, welcome to the club. Just don’t get into the hobby for audio quality. That’s a really deep rabbit hole. You’ll end up spending hours of research on what pressing of what album is the best sounding one. Just make it simple and just grab your favorite albums. Also, don’t listen to people...

    What's the game you always go back to?

    I replay Donkey Kong Country 2 all the trigger time, and Link’s Awakening

    Old vs New?

    Depends on what it is. Some things like TV’s I only replace when they die. Computers and phones I upgrade somewhat regularly. I also like collecting retro games and I have a CRT, but also have modern consoles too.

    Akira

    I personally don’t like the movie, though it’s more of a “it’s not my thing” as opposed to thinking the movie is bad.

    Raspberry Pi

    It's not really that technical. It's basically just having a dedicated computer you can leave on 24/7 to run the cameras. You basically just need to just install the camera monitoring software on it, and just let it do its thing. The form factor of the Raspberry Pi is nice for this kind of...

    Has country music sold out?

    Tbh even though I hate country music, people have been saying that for decades. All of the stuff that are considered classics now were hated by purists and critics, but were commercially successful. It’s also weird that as you get older, some of the stuff that was popular was hated by snobs in...

    Why do kids not want to do school-work or homework?

    I was more interested with playing with my toys or video games, or watching cartoons than some stupid schoolwork.

    Raspberry Pi

    I got it running off a Mac Mini, which was plenty enough

    Raspberry Pi

    I thought of getting one as a Plex server, but it didn’t have enough horsepower for it.

    Your computer

    Tbh I always found touchscreen laptops useless for me. It’s one of those things I use a couple of times in the beginning, and then never again. Also most convertible laptops are never good at being tablets and just want you to get an actual tablet even more. Windows has gotten better with...

    Free vs Paid Forum Software

    There’s pros and cons. Some of the free services don’t give you access to your database, so if you wanna move to a paid hosting site, you’re screwed. Other free sites let you do that. Though one of the biggest downfalls of free hosting is that they don’t let you install whatever plugins you want.

    ForumPromotion.net

    Well there’s a difference between suggesting it vs saying you can’t succeed without it. That’s what I found ironic with them telling me I couldn’t succeed with a free host and those free domains those sites gave you, yet their sites were ghost towns. That’s why I felt defiant back then to do the...

    ForumPromotion.net

    Tbh I never participated in those contests, but they had a banner or something in the forum announcing the winner. It got oddly suspicious when you would see month after month it was always the forums owned by the staff members. The reason why I kept going was more like sticking it to the man...

    Who drives in the snow?

    I hate driving in the snow because of the other drivers. Most people are driving slow for a reason, until that one asshole in the big truck thinks he can drive 70 and honks at everyone who drives slow.

    ForumPromotion.net

    Back when I was actively running forums a few years ago, it seemed like FP was full of a lot of nepotism. All of the forums owned by the staff would win all the contests. I have no idea how these forums that were very active lose to a site that was a ghost town. Also the rate my forum threads...

    Man Creates 1980s Video Rental Store In His Basement

    Nice, I remember seeing the AVGN do something similar to this guy, though his isn't as big.

    My phone's usually pretty up to date.

    Making your own PC vs Buying a premade

    The pre-builds aren’t as bad as they used to be, in price or quality, especially with that chip shortage going on right now. Also building one yourself isn’t really that complicated. You can go to a site like PC Parts Picker, and it can select the parts for you. When it comes to putting the...

    Do you think cable tv will have a comeback?

    It’s possible with all these competing streaming services all with locking exclusive content. I do know piracy recently started going up for that reason alone.
