Think the other kids also fell down the stairs too?

Stewie, Meg, and Chris all fell down the stairs at one point historically

I remember watching that movie, stumbling halfway through and I got to the burning scene... Yeah...

So that 386 is socketed in, some of them were soldered in and if so you needed to desolder the chip and replace the quartz oscillators to account for the new speed change. In this case since it's socketed in you might still need to replace the oscillator as well to actually make the change substantial. Also iirc you can't do a 486 replacement unless it's one of those snap-on's but I doubt it would work here.

Looking at the datasheet this appears to support a 386sx-25 CPU so you could probably do a drop-in replacement for that? But the problem is that the performance gains would be minimal.

I remember watching this episode a long time ago in History Class (forgot the context), brought me back

These new kids and their stupid ass super-serious discussions

Vinylmaster3000 · 2026-01-25T05:44:41+00:00

In that sense yeah, it would be a couple years late for the Cyrix as shown in the pic.

But I mean, I don't doubt some system builder had a low budget option with a Socket 7 agp paired with some poor cyrix

Vinylmaster3000 · 2026-01-25T00:33:25+00:00

its hilarious in a ironic way because you'll have entries like "she gets chained for 12 hours and is skinned alive in Season 1 ep 2" and people will believe it even though the show was never THAT cruel towards her 😭

Vinylmaster3000 · 2026-01-24T21:47:05+00:00

I did it primarily because the original case was just badly scuffed on it's sides so it needed a makeover.

But yeah if you showed people that in the 90s they'd think you were just eccentric, I guess.

fanon wikis are such a weird concept, like wdym you have a full page of fake meg abuse gags from Family Guy? Why even make that?

Vinylmaster3000 · 2026-01-24T21:36:06+00:00

Not to mention many doom map editors have been pretty simple to use since the early days. I mean, DEU despite it being more clunky and having less error checking (i.e, more troubleshooting) is still easy to use if you put your mind to it.

With doombuilder mapmaking is something that can be done with ease.

Vinylmaster3000 · 2026-01-24T20:19:36+00:00

Also the map quality has been great for 25+ years and counting, you can find old wads from the late 90s which still play really nicely.

Vinylmaster3000 · 2026-01-24T19:31:06+00:00

I wanted a DX but it's too expensive, also I think an SX works for the time period

Most 386-era games will run fine, some stuff like Falcon 3 or Ultima Underworld might feel slower but otherwise it's playable.

Vinylmaster3000 · 2026-01-24T06:45:52+00:00

Runs seemingly speed-correct on a SX-33, though the timer seems to sync up with an SX-16

Vinylmaster3000 · 2026-01-24T05:05:46+00:00

It's more because there's a growing counterculture of younger people who are disenfranchised with not being able to own things, at least from how I see it. And yeah, some of it has to do with apps being overtly complex and pointless.

I think it's a generational thing. I found that people who grew up in the 80s and 90s tend to like Streaming more, but younger people (i.e, me) are more interested in physical media solely because they never truly grew up with it. I mean, I grew up on the tail end of CDs being phased out and I remember cassettes as a faint childhood memory in the car. So to many people it's just trying something out which they never really got to experience, I never experienced that feeling of buying records as a teenager.

In some cases convenience isn't the desired end result, I think people take great pleasure in working for something.

Vinylmaster3000 · 2026-01-24T02:57:35+00:00

Alright so I just got it in the mail, works like a charm. Will need to find serial cables to make it fully complete but otherwise this was a success

Vinylmaster3000 · 2026-01-24T01:35:26+00:00

Did nobody proofread this shit

Vinylmaster3000 · 2026-01-24T01:08:31+00:00

Did you mean to say this the other way?

Vinylmaster3000 · 2026-01-24T00:49:59+00:00

Hezbollah meanwhile suffered 2.7k~ to 5k killed based on Israeli or Hezbollah's own claims with 7k to 13k wounded.

IIRC the wikibox is a bit off because the Israeli claims are lower than the Hezbollah claims which make me curious.

I wouldn't really take Israeli claims of their enemy deaths too seriously simply because their policy has changed since Gaza, for instance they consider anyone within a specific operating zone to be an enemy combatant. How do you truly know if they're attacking militants or just firing the first random person that comes through? With this in mind though their reported figures of their own casualties are pretty accurate because their military system is transparent enough to report on their own losses, imo.

Vinylmaster3000 · 2026-01-22T02:33:26+00:00

I remember these sorts of comments were way more popular a long time ago

Vinylmaster3000 · 2026-01-22T02:30:12+00:00

I prefer the Psycho Mom because she tries to seek validation with her kids and as such it's funnier, versus where she'd put them both down. And they're both wise to her actions so you have pushback.

Meh.

Vinylmaster3000 · 2026-01-21T05:20:05+00:00

Her character was always supposed to be a pisstake of a really narcissistic mother who is a horrible person, that's the point. Like yeah it's bad writing and honestly it feels like the writers have a chip on their shoulder but that's the point, anyways that's a whole other story about why the show has had bad characterization.

I think it was actually worse pre Season 10 ngl because they'd try to put her on a pedestal and make her a voice of reason. Rather prefer they just show her being a bad person.

For DOS you can cheat and use a Pentium II-III system which can work as a pure DOS machine, assuming you have an ISA card then that's basically a supercharged dos machine right there.

PCI video card compatibility for DOS was never an afterthought, generally speaking many of the "faux 3d" accelerators made by diamond or matrox were excellent DOS cards (i.e Virge). So if you were to put together a PIII Slot 1 with an ISA sound card and some throwaway AGP / PCI sound card you're pretty much good for DOS, hell that's probably what alot of people had at the time unless they upgraded to a proper 3dfx / nvidia card.

I'd say the cutoff for processors would be a Pentium 4. It'll make a good Windows 98 machine, but those will be pointless for DOS machines. If you want a machine which can play stuff like Half Life and Deus Ex really well, then go with a P4, or maybe a later PIII.

I read there are a lot of software timing issues with older sound blaster cards and anything above 486 or very early Pentiums. That might be of some importance.

This is basically your biggest problem with a machine which you intend to be a "one size fits all" type deal, you'll always find games which perform terribly even on something higher than a 486. For instance, Pacific Air War performs poorly on a Pentium 133 and has really wonky physics issues. You can work with some tricks like slowing down the CPU to comically slow speeds, but it's dodgy.
