>CRT for retro games.
Unless you can fix it yourself, I would strongly advice against this. I don't even know how old these things are now, without any new being made, but they surely are reaching the age where the "blow shit up in your face"-phase begins. I wouldn't want one of those in my living room, it's a ticking time bomb.

its rlly difficult to shop for tech as a NEET cause i have different needs as opposed to normalfags, like i cant rlly go to some tech store or furniture store and say "yeah, ill be using this chair or desktop for weeks, months, years straight without turning it off or leaving the house" so which model will work best for me.

You can get "palm"-sized 150Wh boxes with Li-ion cells and passive cooling for about $120 new. And yes, small "phone powerbanks" are overrated, they suck.

i love hdds. i love the sound they make. it makes me feel like they're my silent living friends. i always feel warm when listening to my old hdd making that quiet crackling sound. it's like "hey, you're busy again reading those bytes for me? aw that's nice!". what upsets me is that when you launch some 10GB+ corporate monster of software hdds perform really bad. people didn't have to unlearn respect towards hdds, but they did. well great thanks they still make hdds, so i can trade some productivity for a good old friend. ssds are soulless to me. modern cyborg that comes to replace the "useless" remnants of past. i know ssds will win inevitably and hdds will fade into obscurity, but i'm still going to be the kinda guy to defend dregs against progressivists whose only purpose is to single mindedly hunt down and destroy anything that doesn't align with "their" idea of "progress", which is actually just a delusion instilled in them by malicious parties.

>>8200Agreed. Trans girls aren't sexy or evil just kinda ordinary. I'd like to talk to them more because I'm curious but don't want to come off as some pornsick dick girl fetishist.
