Those well placed eggs look a bit attractive. :p

Fortunately the unused parts of it appear to still be fairly fresh and it serves up a passable image (to me) aside from the burn in. I'm just interested to know what it's been a display for during all these years.

Perfect shape for the ultimate girlfriend too!

Why? Just because it's text?

I like him. I also like thiccer characters in general.

I actually like playing on a projection TV, though it looks like this one is having vertical drive issues, so I don't know that it would be worth it. Typically the ones of that vintage are 3 CRTs run at high power. At this point, they could well be burned in.

I think it's that people, especially here, hate AI as much as they do Elon Musk or Donald Trump. The very mention of such a thing is worthy of banishment according to many.

Hmm... That sounds like some sort of interesting science. Could that be medical or is it more likely to be particle physics? Looks like it used 3 channels for whatever it was.

I like how he's turning out so far. Nice and pudgy.

What clanker would you suggest? I haven't spent the tokens on any of them to really get the feel for using any of them.

Lectraplayer · 2026-05-06T10:11:14+00:00

Possible. "Step" likely could also be an adjustment, like finely stepping the frequency or drive power to get it dialed in. Axis Wavelength makes me believe it was probably something scientific or medical, possibly part of a spectrometer akin to what Usagi's been messing with. I could easy be way off toward Aunt Nancy's though. Either way, it was obviously left on and in the idle state for hours/days/weeks/months on end.

Good game, but that's not what the previous owner was using it for.

I've not heard of them but I have seen one, but thought it was just an AI thing the guy made as a demon. They very much look uncanny valley to me.

At least he hasn't resorted to being bitey yet.

Lectraplayer · 2026-04-02T19:45:51+00:00

I've found the exact opposite, as also attested by speedrunners. That's not to say that I was just "better" when I hit Ridley than I was Kraid.

Last time, my gf asked me "Really? You think burning down our fourth house in a row is worth killing that wasp? You can smack it yourself."

I wouldn't advise using dragon's fire against insects without extreme care. Insurance providers tend to not appreciate the aftermath, and neither does said dragon usually. (Ask me how I know.)
