This is mostly a prefab unit, the stock parts and case from an Acer AM5811-E1512. I've replaced the graphics card with something from the AMD Radeon HD 6700 series, although I can't find the specific model anywhere. It's one I got from miffy495. The current HDD is a Seagate Barracuda Green ST1500DL003 1.5TB 5900 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" internal drive; the original drive died a while back and the DVD drive has been disconnected for ages.

So my computer's been randomly failing on me for a while, and I figure it's about time I replaced it. I can salvage most of the parts, but I'll definitely need a new CPU and motherboard; they're what's been dragging this one down for so long. I have no clue what to replace them with though. I use my PC primarily for Photoshop, gaming, and opening hundreds of tabs in Chrome; so go nuts with suggestions. Just be aware that I'd rather buy from trusted sites (namely Newegg) and that I've got a limited income at the moment. Also feel free to suggest anything else I might need. RAM would be good; my graphics card is a little dated but fairly beefy.

Obviously adult Iceman is gonna turn out to be a clone or Wolverine or some bullshit.

I got a shiny Caterpie earlier. It was almost a shame to evolve it, because I like all-yellow Caterpie and all-red Metapod more than I like Butterfree's technicolour dreamcoat, but it turned out too good to leave unevolved (31/5/31/31/31/31). Workin' on Nincada now.

Is there theme music? -
So the fourth shiny Dratini I hatched had a better HP stat that I coudn't quite pin down until I had raised it a bunch. It was only 11, but fuck, I'll take it. Then today I hatched a shiny Tepig with an identical spread. Fun.

Off the top of my head, Metroid Zero Mission has been out on the JP and PAL VC for ages now and still hasn't hit the NA one. That particular one is a sore spot for me because it's my favourite Metroid game.

Is my d key broken? How did I manage to misspell "and" twice in one post?

I'd wager that, first an foremost, it's because Adobe's creative software (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc) used to be Mac-exclusive an older artists just kept telling younger ones to go Mac even after they went multiplatform.

As far as I'm aware, Sin and Punishment and Monster World IV are the only games to ever be translated solely for their VC releases, and there are massive differences in the VC lineup for each country. Japan has nearly twice as many games available as NA or PAL do (291, 154, and 162 games respectively; with no guarantee of overlap for any given game).

Sometimes I love how fandom works:

GB's traditionally had a tendency to pawn that stuff off on Patrick, who has a Chrome extension dedicated to removing his content from the website, including Bombin' the AM. While they did put up an article about GG, it wasn't last summer (which would have been pre-GG away), it was two months after the fact, and after Zoe had already called out GB specifically as a site that hadn't done anything to cover or even prevent GG from using their names (I'm sure the article was in the wings for a while, but after two months they kind of deserve to get called out for it). And when they talked about it on the Bombcast, it was a very half-hearted discussion missing critical details; they described it in the vague terms of "people threatening game developers" and not the much more accurately descriptive "Gamergate-supporters threatening women." Everything else has come down to subscribers-only stuff like Jar Time or Danswers where it's less likely to go noticed. I don't think that anyone at GB is pro-GG, but they did a terrible job of showing it. It really made me appreciate the way that the Thumbs handled it: they haven't talked about GG much, but within a week of it starting they made it abundantly clear that they recognized and condemned GG for exactly what it was. -
Even though it would have been kinda mean, when Spaff was described as having worked on the most notable Vita game,I secretly hoped someone would say Persona 4 Golden.

also can I use this thread to complain about how shitty Wii U Virtual Console is because I mean really there's barely any third-party stuff, but there's both the SNES and GBA versions of Super Mario World I mean really

Two things: 1) High-five, Danielle. Steven Universe is the best. We talk about it in the cartoons thread a bunch. 2) the new Guitar Hero looks like somebody's Rainmeter skin. It looks clean in a very lazy way: stark black and white vector art and helvetica text against a Photoshopped lacquered wood guitar neck against someone's instagram video. It's simultaneously aesthetically pleasing and very off-putting. To me, at least.

I get the complaining about them, and I feel that the original versions of games should be preserved for history's sake, but honestly I love the idea of remasters and rereleases. My eventual goal is to replace my entire physical game collection with digital versions, so the sooner the better. I'm really fond of the way that Nintendo remasters (eg: Ocarina of Time 3D, Super Mario 64 DS) make the game look the way you remember it. Like, you look at it and think nothing's changed until you go back and look at how low-poly and retroactively crummy they look.

I bought all of the stupid Streetpass stuff that came out today. Not just the two new games, but the VIP stuff and the Birthday collection thing. Oof.

I'm riding the emotional rollercoaster. I got another shiny Dratini with Shed Skin, and then two eggs later got one with Marvel Scale. But then...

I really hope this latest chapter of Gunnerkrigg Court is all just some bad dream.

Ground beef was on sale.

So in an exciting new development in the neverending cavalcade of bullshit, yet another white officer murdered yet another black man, this time by confusing his gun with his taser. What makes it extra fun this time around is that the officer in question hasn't been a police officer since he left the force after a year almost five decades ago. He's just some rich guy who makes generous donations to the local police and, in exchange, they let him tag along and play cop, because that's apparently a thing that you can do in America, because why the fuck not?
