I loved turning on and off (and degaussing) CRT monitors.
Also when mechanical switches for keyboards was the norm.
The weird sounds your floppy drive would make, too.

They are not mindless. They're enthralled by capital, they lack necessary education, and subsequently taste and intelligence.

There's nothing wrong with being a fag, user. You can admit it.

It saddens me that modern technology is missing physicality like that.

>It saddens me that modern technology is missing physicality like that.
the biggest thing that annoys me is the total silence of SSDs. when a HDD went absolutely crazy you had audio feedback and check what's up. now you can only see it when you actively monitor the transfers or if the system gets sluggish.

I just turned 32 and I have zero desire to go back to CRT monitors. They were awful. It's the same zoomer hipsters drooling over them that want to bring back VHS cassettes because old technology is new to them.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms series, also by Koei. I'm not sure which one; the map is different from the II and III that I routinely dominated Cao Cao in.

Fuck yeah, you think old CPUs had anything like a speedstep? You had one hardware performance mode.

>not counting the turbo button, or jumper OC/OV'ing

>haha guys, look how sane and normal I am lmao
You should get a tripcode.
Most CRTs were awful and I also don't really miss them either but let those fuckers have their nostalgia fun.

Mostly this. 36 btw

I remember people actually heating their bedroom with Pentium4s

i rememeber

i also remember when tube screens gave you cancer and computers were loud as fuck and smelled like burnt plastic

The good days.

>low end consumer shit was shit
color me surprised

go be an edgelord elsewhere

Eww cables...

Back in the late 90s I wondered why the majority of computer nerds had VERY high hairlines or were almost bald and thought it might be because of the CRT radiation.

2018, being a "nerd" is hip and a TON more have thin as fuck hair while not using CRTs. I guess there's a different explanation for this.

Where in either of those posts were they talking about low end consumer shit?

take your time, I'll wait.

>zoomer hipsters drooling over them because old technology is new to them.
Pretty much this, I still get a giggle or two when my youngest cousins come to my house and they're dragging around their dad's nintendo 64, along with their phones that can probably emulate all the nintendo 64 games and is smaller than one of the carts.

CRTs are heavy blocky wastes of space that do nothing but damage your eyes.
I'm glad they're gone.

This is shit too though.

Old computers had tons of parts that made really distinctive sounds. You pretty flooded your brain with all those impressions just by operating the damn thing. Whoever lived through that will at some point miss those impressions and hence the nostalgia is so intense. Hearing those sounds again is pretty much oldfag ASMR material
