Heh, at least raising the volume is a lot easier than trying to figure out why I am a robot. Currently it is at 45% volume with no gain, so I will boost it up to 50. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgCJWrGxNWs&feature=youtu.be

Well, that stems back to the whole PC idea. Originally the word for that was retarded, based on the idea of mental retardation, which just means slower development. The PC crowd basically decided that retarded was offensive since it treated people with mental disabilities differently. So instead we use terms to dance around the idea instead of just using what everyone means.

Heh, my biggest issue as I have said in the past is sunlight. The living room the computer was in had four windows and the room was relatively small, meaning it would make it pretty much impossible to see what you were doing during the day and why I had to go the blanket route. Thief II is just a game that is insanely dark, even loading it up on my computers now results in the same reaction. Probably the hardest thing to adjust to is the darkness of the world in that game, the first game I can easily see in shadows, the second one it is quite difficult indeed. I actually was wondering if it was because CRTs could handle darkness better and be completely dark.

Oh yeah, mine is being up during the day. I have very noisy neighbors that makes the experience just a bit more of a hassle than it should. I could gladly use the compatibility settings, if you saw the last video fully you would see I did a quick run of Doom and got it working. Apparently it gets too demanding if I turn on every setting and then have a giant display window also in 1440p to ensure it is functioning. Hiding the window resulted in the minor hang-ups going away instantly. I figured that had to drop some performance, but I didn't realize it would be so drastic.

I forget dates as I often get too immersed in the world. I can tell you about details in games, just not the days that they happened.

Heh, I remember hearing about that. I don't recall my hard drive being smaller than Gigs, the biggest problem is that I was young and it was a shared computer so I put little priority into learning all about it like I do now. That is why I know my specs of my current gear and by definition some of the more recent stuff I have had.

True that, still I find TMNT to be pretty tame compared to the industrialness of the 90s.

Yay! What a memorable year to go back to!
