  1. Minecraft? That can run on just about anything. I've played it on a PowerBook G4. Launch it in creative mode or survival mode on easy.
  2. That's half what I paid for my 512GB NVMe drive in 2017.
  3. Kingspray Graffiti This is my first time doing this sort of thing properly so it's garbage, but it's a start. This specific one was inspired by Limmys video "I don't say "TREN", I SAY "TRAIN"" I did have to crop it because of what's underneath.
  4. $1200? They start at $800 ($700 for the Mini) for the regular and $1000 ($1100 for the Pro Max) for the Pro. That is still really expensive, I agree but as far as flagship phones go these days, that's actually on the cheaper side. From what I can see, all of these phones (some aren't even the latest models) are more expensive than the iPhone 12: S10 Plus, P30 Pro, Xperia 1, S10, S20 4G, S9, Xperia 5, P30, P30 Pro New Edition, S10e, S20fe. At least none of these phones are made out of garbage plastic anymore. You're at least getting something that feels like it's worth close or sometimes over $1K.
  5. Yeah. This happens every 2-3 years. Apple release a phone much better than the predecessor, everyone buys it. The next year they release a phone that's only a slight improvement and sales are no where near as good as the previous year.
  6. That's not really surprising. The iPhone 11/11 Pro were such a huge leap forward from the XR/XS. Just about everyone I knew who was going to buy an iPhone bought the 11 or 11 Pro. The only real difference between the 11/11 Pro and 12/12 Pro is the new design, OLED screen, better CPU and the Pro model has LIDAR which gives you basically instant autofocus. There really aren't very many people at all jumping on the 12/12 Pro like there was with the 11/11 Pro. The new iPhone Mini is going to be interesting though, I would like to see how well those sell.
  7. There are a few replies to the twitter announcement that it got delayed again that are basically "kill yourself" I think they should just announce on twitter that every time they get a reply like that, they're going to delay it another 5 minutes. It will be funny.
  8. I got a screen protector for my new phone, no more ugly scratches!
  9. Is it really surprising that it's not free and is no where near the original promised gigabit with sub-20ms latency? Musk and his companies do this all the time, and every single time it seems the majority eats it up.
  10. IIRC those things were from $900 new. When I was buying a laptop, I was considering one of those because you can detach the screen from it and use it as a tablet.
  11. A little tip: If you live in the EU, you can buy VR and use it for 2 weeks before deciding whether or not you want to keep it. Everything has a 2 week return period where they have to take it back and give a refund if requested. You don't need a reason either.
  12. And that's the issue. If you do delete your Steam account, every purchase you have made will be lost with no way of recovering, Valve does make this very clear. But if you do get banned on Steam, you at least still have access to your account and will still be able to play the games you have downloaded. You will only be blocked from using the marketplace, trading and playing games online that use VAC. There is an exception to this and that's hijacked accounts. The difference between Oculus and any of the other stores is, you can use a fake name. In fact, some of them have a randomly generating username for you to use that includes numbers. On Facebook, you can't use an obviously fake name, you have to use at least a real sounding one. If you use a name that seems fake, you will get banned and the only way to get unbanned is to send them a scan of photo ID, so passport, drivers license, government issued ID, etc. Given how many data breaches Facebook has had over the years and what you can do with that sort of ID, I absolutely do not trust them to keep any form of ID secure. And given that, I absolutely would not create a Facebook account to use the Oculus store or buy any future Oculus hardware. You get banned for something you didn't even do and don't trust them to keep something as "dangerous" as photo ID safe, you will lose all of your games. This isn't a thing that happens with any other store.
  13. No, I'm following the way you're getting an S2000. I'm buying each piece at a time and slowly building it.
