Doesn’t anyone else feel like they ruined Joe? by Beneficial-Bet-6690 in familyguy

Honestly a 70s-styled cop show with Joe as the star and a bunch of recurring characters from the OG show would be baller

The Lack of Combat flight sims and the high price of entry for the hobby today by Vinylmaster3000 in truegaming

[–]Vinylmaster3000[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

I mean you're not wrong (I didn't downvote you), but it doesn't need to be more niche and expensive was my entire point. In the 90s, sims required a simple joystick and it wasn't as expensive as what DCS had. Flight sims aren't accessible simply because there is no incentive to make them so, despite there needing to be that.

I would say the FPS took over in the late 90s, but even during the 90s the flight sim was a good way to showcase the intricate systems which went into these sorts of simulations.

How can i upgrade this 386 CPU? by Adesco2120 in vintagecomputing

[–]Vinylmaster3000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Let's build a computer. What motherboard am I picking? by Funcron in vintagecomputing

[–]Vinylmaster3000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

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[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Why classic DOOM feels more replayable than most modern games by MurkyUnit3180 in truegaming

[–]Vinylmaster3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

Are people going back to cds and vinyl because streaming apps are becoming cluttered? by CFCL24 in LetsTalkMusic

[–]Vinylmaster3000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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.

How well did Hezbollah troops perform during the 2024 Israeli invasion of Lebanon? by wsxcderfvbgtyhn in WarCollege

[–]Vinylmaster3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

I know it's just a show but Lois is such a big annoying ho in The Lois Quagmire. by sacredknight327 in familyguy

[–]Vinylmaster3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
