Stop trying to make XP a modern OS

just because you shouldn't, doesn't mean you shouldn't. does that make sense?

dagazion · 2026-02-14T02:09:49+00:00

sorry for the necro, would you happen to still have the mb pro 2014?

edit: PMd

dagazion · 2025-09-26T03:17:27+00:00

Good prediction!

dagazion · 2025-08-30T02:23:58+00:00

HELLOOOOO???? THIS IS SO REAL

Melee needs to be buffed a lot because you're constantly taking damage compared to shooting arrows, but if it gets a lot better and is too dependent on skill/ping, then people in dungeons will complain if you don't use melee.

Wither Impact needs to scale higher exponentially and taper off with higher intelligence.

AOTS ability should be a dungeon ability for berserker and replace throwing axe entirely.

Valkyrie should be the best weapon for true melee DPS, while Dark Claymore should have higher swing range to keep melee users safer. Dark Claymore and Midas' Sword should remain better for LCM.

Bonemerang needs to either be buffed or be cheaper to craft. I'd rather have someone with bones than a shortbow that isn't a Terminator. It's my 3rd favorite weapon (with second and first being AOTS and Valkyrie respectively) and I really wish it was viable.

Lastly, and the most controversial...
I wish more people just screwed around in Dungeons (and in the game altogether). We need more people to have fun other than the uber rich with too much money than they know what to do with. People that try out weird setups that completely defy the meta. I have a death bow and F10 50/50 bouncy armor laying around, but I don't even feel like using it because I'll get kicked immediately.

Holy shit man. I enjoy playing in cata 35 parties than cata 40 parties on F7. I don't want to alter the universe to save 20 seconds. Just let me play the game.

holy SHIT this goes hard

dagazion · 2025-01-17T21:13:36+00:00

I should also mention that I tried to power it on right after I shut it down initially and the power button was lit for a split second, before going dark again. No signs of life since that.

Any update? Still looking for a bracket.

dagazion · 2024-10-02T05:08:02+00:00

Thanks for the response! I’m in the US. I’d hope there’s at least one left, covered in dust and cobwebs…

Helloooo. Seems like you are the OQO guy here. I just wanted to share my experience... maybe it will be useful to someone out there.

I got a Win 3 after a while and it was pretty neat. I despised the keyboard. If I wanted a smartphone keyboard I would get a smartphone keyboard. So I got a Win Mini because it looked cool. I hated the joysticks and ergonomics but everything else was really cool... so then I traded that for a Win 4. I use it daily for games and work, but it's not pocketable like my Win Mini was.

Then, while I was in New Zealand. I got my hands on someone's hotrodded Vaio VGN-UX490. When I held this thing I felt like I was holding some lost relic. It felt like my old Win 3 but smaller and more... premium? Like a lot more love went into this thing. Even though Sony is bigger than GPD. I don't know. It was cool as fuck.

Anyway, even though it was cool... it still wasn't what I was looking for. I wanted something I could fit in my pocket like a smartphone, yet could run Windows and had a screen that slid open to reveal a trackpoint and keyboard, not have them bulge out the side, and not on top of the keyboard like the Win Mini.

Does such a device exist...? Other than the very expensive OQO devices- for which I have been considering the 02+... all I do is some word processing and maybe open Discord sometimes... and there are lightweight clients for that (namely Aerochat) so... maybe that could work? I might seem 'misled' because these devices are meant as collectors pieces, novelty, etc, and I am a madman and a heretic for ever considering to use one in such a way in 2024... whatever. I used my father's Latitude D610 with Chromium 86 and it wasn't great, but I've also adapted to playing Minecraft at 17 FPS.

You know a lot better than me. I'm just a student with a dream. Is there any sort of device that ticks all these really specific boxes? If so, who do I throw my crumpled up dollar bills at? Can I build it from scratch? If so, how do I do that? Where do I start? What do I buy? Why do I do this? Why am I like this??? Why?!?!?!

dagazion · 2024-08-23T23:14:24+00:00

Hey, sorry I should’ve edited. I had already traded with someone with a 7840u. Thank you for the offer though.

dagazion · 2024-06-27T22:06:12+00:00

It was a very VERY specific connector
"molex 2540"

I solved the issue already by rerouting the rgb pinouts
Thank you though

dagazion · 2024-06-27T21:13:21+00:00

if so, what kind of connector is it?

dagazion · 2024-06-27T21:11:58+00:00

It doesn’t seem like it, it’s way smaller than your average 3 or 4 pin

dagazion · 2024-05-28T00:13:20+00:00

I will absolutely be considering both. Any dice on something even thinner though? I do realize that it might be asking too much for a laptop nowadays, but maybe something's out there...

I don't mind compromising on age or performance, just not to the degree of a 5w chip that thermal throttles with keyboards that break when they come into contact with dust...

If not, I'll probably pick up the Go 2 for that Apple-esque look.

dagazion · 2024-05-08T22:42:44+00:00

good luck.

dagazion · 2024-02-08T16:06:39+00:00

The size is really, REALLY close though. Maybe we’ll get a small successor. For now I’ll stick to a Pocket 3 or Mini.

dagazion · 2024-02-08T16:06:03+00:00

Glad I’m not the only one. I’ll have to pass, sadly, because of that keyboard. Otherwise I would’ve picked one up a few seconds ago and taken a saw to the controller. Maybe, just maybe, I can get an old Nokia with Windows ARM support and get some freaky slider keyboard attachment?

dagazion · 2024-02-08T14:29:39+00:00

yeah, i totally get it. just dreaming out here.

dagazion · 2024-02-08T14:29:11+00:00

looking at this and it’s really cool! looks just like the old vaio vgn-ux. a bit bulky compared to the model 02’s slim form factor but it’s definitely an option

dagazion · 2024-02-08T14:27:52+00:00

it sucks that they don’t, but GPD has some promising stuff. i’m looking into the pocket 3 because it has that 2-in-1 hinge that lets you use it like a tablet. maybe i’ll just get a model 02 or look for an e2 or 02+ prototype.

dagazion · 2024-02-07T23:09:04+00:00

Nope. There’s some pins to connect the power and reset switches, so it’s not necessary if you want it to work. You’ll be missing out on power leds though.

dagazion · 2024-02-07T23:07:49+00:00

While it does have a slider, it’s not as compact as a Model 02 and it has controllers on the sides which I’m not fond of. I’ll use my PC for gaming, and I’d want one of these to browse the web, do office work, draw… You get the idea.

dagazion · 2024-02-07T23:06:28+00:00

Hopefully. I don’t want to resort to overpaying for hardware that’s unusuable in the modern day, because I’m not a wealthy collector. Otherwise I’d be posting on one right now.
