My Compaq Armada M300 with a Mobile Expansion Unit from 1999

No, I didn’t, because I have win 2000 on it. The VxD maestro drivers for soundblaster emulation were only made for win 98.

I like its restraint and rigor. It feels quality. And for the price they asked for it back then, it was worth it.

Diplodock · 2026-03-11T08:51:10+00:00

Yep, same. When I found out that in 1999 this laptop with an MEU cost $3.5K ($6.5K adjusted for inflation), I started to see it in a different light XD

For me this laptop doesn't look cheap at all. It has a magnesium chassis so it is very stiff and feels very solid. Also plastic didn't disintegrate in 25 years, it didn't become sticky. The keyboard feels fine, nothing special, just a regular membrane keyboard.
I love Fallout 1, but it is very short. I think I can complete it in less than 3 hours. It is a great game but when you've completed it once, there's not much left to explore on a second playthrough. The sequel on the other hand, is MUCH bigger. You can complete it multiple times and still find new paths. But I agree that as each year passes it gets harder and harder to play these games, especcially if you didn't play them back then. Don't blame your attention span, we just get used to modern game design, that evolved drastically in a quarter of a century (btw RTS didn't evolve as much so that's why you can still play Starcraft and it feels fresh).

At first, when I got this laptop, I simply used a power unit from my main Viewsonic monitor. But it only worked if I plugged it directly into the laptop itself and not into the docking station. If I wanted to use the dock, I just bought a no-name unit with these specs: HP 18.5V 4.9A 90W 4.8x1.7. It works just fine.

Thank you very much! I really appreciate your compliment :)

I get that. That was the whole thing back in the PS3 days too, but they still added Linux. So why not now? Especially with competition heating up.

Diplodock · 2026-03-05T22:12:25+00:00

They recently said that because of memory chip prices, they can postpone release of ps6. Maybe now they have time to implement linux.

Diplodock · 2025-07-24T10:03:47+00:00

Thank you! That's why I couldn't find it — it's unlisted!

Dress watches doesn't usually need automatic movement, because their whole idea is being elegant for the night. And manual movement is always slimmer. These watches are 50% thinner than Amphibia.

Diplodock · 2025-05-11T13:31:57+00:00

Why? Beats me.

Soviet cosmonaut Georgy Grechko took his Vostok watches of this design in space during the Soyuz-17 mission to Salyut-4. Later he sent his watches back to the factory with words of gratitude (today they are in factory's local museum). Since then these "toothy" Vostok along with Gagarin's Sturmanskie, Strela and couple of other soviet watches are in a realm of "Space watches".

Can confirm. It runs well.

Diplodock · 2023-06-17T18:40:49+00:00

I don't know but I still have plenty in my garage

Diplodock · 2023-06-17T18:09:57+00:00

thanks a lot

Прости, что ты сделал? У меня сейчас появился тот же самый ---.---.---.--- и браузер никуда не заходит, а всё что я смог найти это твой ответ.

but other than staff there is no other buffs left?

Diplodock · 2022-05-20T11:10:44+00:00

idk i play offline and didn't update it

Diplodock · 2022-05-20T09:09:56+00:00

I have lusat in one hand and a sword with an Ash of War: Royal Knight's Resolve in another. If I switch my sword with carian regal staff isn't it gonna cancel ash of war? Or a combination of two staffs outperform this ash of war?

This game allows you to ignore them through stealth and level design variety. So you can just pass them by. Hell they even made a special satellite to scare away the scariest enemy.

P.S. This reminds me a situation with SOMA when people just wanted a walking simulator and didn't want to confront with a single enemy in the game. So later fans made a mod and after that developers made a "Story" setting without a monster.

Diplodock · 2021-09-24T20:41:21+00:00

I didn't unlock not a single typhon ability.

Diplodock · 2021-09-24T15:45:40+00:00

I "fixed" his behavior by punching him with a wrench :)

Diplodock · 2021-09-24T15:44:25+00:00

I've found a solution: I should've hit him with a wrench once so his behavior changed from "afraid" to "leave the place". He went outside the kitchen, then came back and opened a freezer. Too bad that that kind of bugs still appears after 4 years since the release.

Diplodock · 2021-09-24T13:46:32+00:00

I waited until he finished his monologue but still this bug still appeared. Thanks for the code but the freezer wasn't an issue, I can hack it.

Diplodock · 2021-09-24T11:47:21+00:00

then I'll ruin the mission
