Don't trust this toaster that much, it could be a villain in disguise.
Mostly phone-posting, sorry for any typos or autocorrect hijinks.

People could associate every post you make with ogress milking lol

I've heard this twice so far and don't understand the reference at all. Could someone illuminate me - at least a bit.

You might have missed it if you dwell only in the lower boards. IIRC there was some guy in DF discussion who made multiple threads pertaining to the milking of ogresses, ways to mod that in, and suggestions to add it as vanilla.

And also got banned for being constantly argumentative.

And may or may not have come back with a new account to ask about milking cow people, then switched to asking about milking intelligent creatures for their venom when called out.

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

I guess that happened at a time I didn't browse the forums constantly like I have since the virus started. Thanks for the explanation.

I'm surprised I missed it then - I spend a good amount of time in those boards. But I usually just browse by titles and answer questions.

I feel that the bar for what constitutes a "tolerable" or "acceptable" computer has been rising much slower over time than it did in, say, the 90s or the early 2000s. I think that's why it feels like computer performance doesn't feel like it's increasing much, despite yearly evidence to the contrary.

I seriously think that people who only use their computers for office work and casual web browsing can get by with a Core 2 Quad, 8GB of RAM, and an SSD. In that use case, the only things you gain from newer CPUs is better power efficiency and security (ever heard of Meltdown, Spectre and associates? Those aren't patched on these old-ass processors). Oh, and Chrome, Word and Excel open up a bit faster, but app load times are mostly bottlenecked by storage, not processor, so it's mostly diminishing returns the higher-end you go.

I'm not saying you should go for a Core 2 Quad in this day and age if you had the choice of something better. I'm saying that people shouldn't upgrade when they're still happy with their computer and what it's capable of. That's probably hard to believe coming from me, someone with remarkably poor impulse control, but please, don't buy shit you don't need.

A great rule of thumb to live by in any case!
And yeah, I agree about computers.
