Neither is particularly high-spec - they're business machines. I think both are i7's with 8GB memory and 1TB drives.

what generation's the i7?

fyi, the generation of an intel cpu is the first number of the cpu, excluding the number beside the i, like an i5 12100f is 12th gen or how an i9 14900k is 12th gen

No idea - I think they're both around 5 years old at this point.

Fair enough. I've been around the block enough times that someone asking about specifics raises a red flag. Had a good friend who spent a couple days dealing with the cops because a crooked neighbor decided my friend's 60" TV would look better in his apartment (but 65" would have been too big, I guess).

Replace 'come up with drawing ideas' with 'make headway on my inbox' and you have my job for September thus far.

Just uninstalled Honkai Star Rail. Belobog is one of the greatest story I've read, but the other fell short. Lately I've been doing nothing but grinding for gears in that game, and I decided I can't be bothered by any of that. So, cheers.

with that free space left behind after uninstalling Honkai Star Rail, you should get factorio to fill its place

Nah I'm thinking of replaying Arkham Origins. I loved the shock gloves in that game. Also I love the depiction of The Riddler in the Arkham Series.

I'd probably play Rollercoaster Tycoon sooner than I play Factorio.

Tell your dog to play Factorio. (Tell the neighbor, too.)

 

[DavidianMillerian]

Tell your dog to play Factorio.

he'd sooner piss on his laptop than play Factorio

started watching some gym videos and overall body building and fitness.

it's messed up how nature and evolution put a daily cap on how much you can train your muscles each day.

also, I still don't get why anyone would want to take steroids or any other drugs when the point of being fit in the first place is learning self control to a point where your body becomes chiseled.


still can't get over how there's a natural daily limit to your gains, like some kind of gatcha game.

For professional athletes (baseball players, for instance), I suspect it's about getting more results from your work. "If I work out, I can hit a ball 400 feet, but if I work out AND take steroids, I can hit that same ball 425 feet instead." -Barry Bonds, probably

For the amateur, I would think it's about quick easy gains. "I can get a body that looks like I work out three hours a day by taking steroids and only working out one hour a day? Sign me up!" -random dudebro
