Video games are so embarrassing.
Ian Gray
We all have our vices user
Liam King
Video games are a great means of entertainment, it's when /vr/ acts like they're the only thing a computer was used for back then that it starts to become cringy.
Angel Russell
Bentley Russell
Gavin Johnson
Where's the early computers though? I just see a bunch of 80s and 90s consumer stuff.
Aaron Morris
op prolly meant: personal computers
Luke Bell
Look at all these actors
Ethan Johnson
Of course, they're brochure photos.

Fuck this thread, post minicomputers
Ian Sanchez
Unlike games it's got a real keyboard....
Michael Torres
Looks like he's pulling a module out of a larger box.
Camden Gray
Tabs vs spaces.
Evan Rivera
>God damn it Bob, stop with this nonsense, we don't even have a tab key
Aiden Jenkins
has anyone here done a modern take on this aesthetic with their computer builds?
Joseph Flores
Elijah Gutierrez
Hunter Davis
You mean a fully custom case or just a sleeper?
Brandon Jenkins

Cooper Green

Camden Bennett

>That's nice Richard, get back to work now
Landon Jackson
you can literally say that about a quantum computer dipshit
Connor Perez
I'm not sure but maybe because of cyrillic's more regular forms and height it looks so comfy.
Jayden Bell
Poor Nixdorf never gets any love.
Brandon Myers
All computers are just calculators. Hence the name, "computer," since they, "compute." Which is all a calculator does. You could use the word, "reckon," too. "Reckonator," has a nice ring to it.
Landon Williams
Classy
Evan Evans

Justin King
Gabriel Sullivan
These things are very sexy. Imagine someone making one of these with modern hardware. I'm sure there's a market for this. Way stronger than laptops, way cooler than shitty desktops we have today.
Oliver Flores
We used pic related in primary school. I can't even remember what OS they ran.
David Clark
acer predator 21x
prove me wrong
Mason Nelson
i dont' want a fucking monitor attached to it, because I don't need any kind of mobility. Just a keyboard computer form factor.
Also, that laptop is fucking trash. It overheats all the time and throttles everything.
Owen Moore
We had these in primary school too, I vaguely remember a bit mapped wizard as the backdrop and going into colour coded areas to get to things.

What is it?
Colton Davis
But what's so cool or superior about them though other than nobody making them anymore? They just combine all of the weak, soldered-in, poorly cooled and unupgradable parts of a laptop with the non portability and bulkiness of a desktop in a pretty ugly and same-y package that just looks like a thick keyboard that you can't really adjust/move because of cable spaghetti everywhere.
I really don't get why so many zoomers lust after these things.
Lincoln Rogers
Disregard that.
David Price
nighthawks.exe
Carson King
Goddamn I really love the aesthetic of old computers. I've been trying to track down a working red Sharp X1 turbo for years.
Wyatt Hall
No, I insist.
Cooper Martinez
Literally every year some asshole buys the rights to the Commodore name and tries to make their own nuPC that never goes fucking anywhere for some reason.
Ryder Cook
time bandit is fucking great
Matthew Watson
lmao
the phone wire running across the room i bet
Aiden Nguyen
>digital equipment corporation
I've got a DEC Rainbow 100-A in the other room. I have to find the cable for its keyboard. Pic related, it looks like a telephone jack but the connector is somehow thinner?
Nicholas Murphy
More DEC stuff
Logan Cooper
filthy monitor for it
Austin Scott
so how the fuck would it run from the floor to across the desktop? im sure that line in the pic is some defect from processing or something its not a fucking phone wire.. the left it appears to come our of the wall then runs on top of the desk. if you look the line is in the exact same place. how the fuck can it run along the same line of sight, if its on the floor first?
you people are fucking morons
James Roberts
Ethan Price
Elijah Foster
Oliver Powell
what's going on with those specs senpai?
Ian Richardson
I scored one of those, has a blown PSU though and I wasn't able to fix it yet. (Haven't really tried either, it's one of those projects you put off for 'later')
Luke Lopez
ffuuuuck I remember installing minix on an old junk PC as a hobby. best fucking OS I ever got my hands on
Julian Reyes
Christopher Moore
It's a terminal session.
Joseph Baker
Easton Nelson
lol calm down faggot
Brandon Morales
you mean to tell me, that we could save billions of dollars worldwide by NOT including "19" in the year?
that's right. Y 2 asK?
Jack Parker
>This is an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door. There is a small mailbox here.
Boss, I have no idea what to do!
Blake Barnes
It's /vr/'s focus.
Conversely, every time a retro thread gets started here on Jow Forums some edgy little contrarian shit jumps in and starts shit posting.
Joseph Cook
Fuck I love this image. So comfy.
Gabriel Clark
Yeah, there's always some triggered faggot whining and projecting all over the place about how everyone who likes games is an LGR hipster/toddler or everyone who likes messing around with old software/programming is a LARPing office drone or whatever.
It's gay as fuck, all old computers are great.
Parker King
Please don't tell me you really think programming is any different in old computers. It's still all the same x86 shit.
And don't tell me otherwise, because I know you shitheads only know and lust after IBM PCs and its clones.
Camden Bailey
Nigger what
I'm not taking that ass-tier bait, get out of here
Brandon Ortiz
>mention flashing roms
>some little shit always assumes it's for a videogame cartridge
>x86 in the year 1999+20
>more extension instructions than native ones
>why my fp code no werk
Lincoln Richardson
Did I hit a weak spot?
Aiden Rogers
My teens was spent with an aptiva. I remember it fondly. Was 1997. The year I got internet access for the first time (28.8 Dial-up). Also the year I got my PS1. Had k6 200 mhz, 32mb ram, and a 2.1 gb hdd. Rage IIc graphics (2mb).
Bentley Turner
Perhaps.
Liam Nguyen
is that a minitel terminal?
Jaxson Evans
.... is that an HP Chipmunk?
Camden Torres
Ah, the keyboard that crippled an entire generation of hackers. It was like typing on a cardboard-covered wooden palette that had been in the rain for a week.
Austin Sanchez
Cooper Taylor
>Early computers
>Beige everything
Jayden Powell
Adam King
How would anyone relate to this comparison?
Thomas Perez
>live in the mid Hudson Valley
>area had 3 fucking IBM facilities at one point
>the entirety of Dutchess County was essentially a company town for IBM at one point
>literally no fucking old models to buy, collect, or find in the entire fucking Valley
Goddamn capitalism is a fucking failure, I just want to build sleepers and sell them to rich little shits at Marist and New Paltz
Brody Ortiz
imagination
Justin Hernandez
It is, never heard of that codename but glad I did, found some cool shit looking that up.
Easton Jones

Oh, awesome then. I did two terms of semiconductor lab on those machines back in the day.
