I ended up blowing a bunch of money ordering a new ThinkPad. Maybe it's overkill considering what I'm going to be using it for, but I wasn't really satisfied with a lot of what seems to be on offer as far as used computers go. For what you're paying a lot of them don't seem to be that great relative to what was available back when I bought my last one.

At least this one seems like it could be a decent backup in case anything ever habbens to my desktop computer.

>>16977
The second hand market can be hit or miss, however if you weren't satisfied with what was available the extra money for something that will suit your needs is a good investment.
Congrats on your new thinkpad.

>>16978
I think a lot of it comes down to inflation combined with the rising costs of computer parts. I'm kind of uncomfortable with buying newer laptops though, since I'm more of a beater guy. I don't need anything fancy if I'm just hooking it up to a TV to watch stuff on, and I'd rather have a dusty old machine that I'm less invested in keeping in good condition.

Still, I figured it was worth a try to splurge a bit given that my savings are getting eaten by inflation and that I'll at least have something a bit future proofed. Being around a decade newer, it's a bretty big jump ahead specwise.

I was actually briefly considering getting a mini PC but figured another laptop wood work better for my use case. It's nice to have another screen I can look down at when setting things up. I've still got a mini PC in mind for whenever my desktop starts to get old or unreliable, but luckily it's still bretty new and I'm completely satisfied with it.

From what ive read it's the ram and ssd parts that are driving the markups, the general inflation is crazy though.
I think you'll be habby with this thinkpad even if it took you outside your regular grade, the updated hardware will save you any headaches of future work arounds and if your old machine lasted eight years this will more than cover inflationary pressures even before accounting for quality of life and the comforts it affords you.

>From what ive read it's the ram and ssd parts that are driving the markups
Those are two things I didn't want to skimp on. My old laptop was upgraded to 16GB, but I felt like 32GB wood age better. I also wasn't keen on getting anything less than a terabyte of storage space. Another trait I wanted was AMD components, which helped narrow down some of my options when I was initially looking at used stuff on eBay. I'm not after a supercomputer or anything, but I feel like I woodn't have gotten as much bang for your my buck if I was just paid a few hundred like I originally planned. Especially due to how I don't like getting involved in bidding wars with a bunch of other people.

Most of the games I play aren’t exactly graphically intensive or taxing on system resources. My desktop is already a Micro-ATX build, but I feel like given enough time something in the mold of an NUC might be up to snuff as a viable replacement for it without paying an arm and a leg. My family has helped me put past PC builds together, since I’ve never been good with any of that, and I think it wood be nice to skip all that hassle for them. It wood c

Of the trees? Not berry long, you can walk right up to them. Typicaly, four to six hours. Potentially, for as long as there is enough light to shoot, so around ten hours in mid November.  I am able to move and navigate at night, so I can arive or leave in complete darkness if I need to.  At times, I will walk around looking for deer in fields or other open areas instead of waiting somewhere.

Mohammed Lakhdar-Hamina, conscripted arab in Cannes turned guerrilla turned prominent algerian director turned part-time actor, called it quits recently and it's a good occasion to remind some people about his 1975 movie Chronique des Annees de Braise, not because it made the french clench their teeth hard or because it was awarded the Cannes' Palm d'Or after a strong debate among the jury, making it also the only arab/african film to be given such honour. 
It is worth mentioning because i think it's pretty good, forms a great part in the unofficial Algerian War trilogy alongside The Day of the Jackal and La Battaglia di Algeri. Might be quite slow or somewhat inert at times but those moments function as exposition for a context not explored often in western sensibilities.

If you are talking about the subject, it is Anri from Dark Souls 3. Here, Anri is telling the ghost or spirit of his or her (Anri is always the opposite sex of the player) friend, Horace, and some orphan children they grew up with of the success of their lifelong, or perhaps deathlong, mission. Which wood be slaying Aldrich, the corrupt leader of a church who feasted on the flesh of the orphans and many others. Anri and Horace were the only children who escaped. Eventually, Aldrich ate so many people he bloated and ruptured into a mass of slime and rotting remains that the player can help Anri kill.  The art here is not a scene from the game, but the dialog of Anri speaking toward his or her dead companion is. It's a habby picture of a moment of peace for a character who has faced little but suffering. I'm aware that this explanation is 0% /comfy/ and I'm sorry.

>Yeah, I agree they should be on everything they can, but if nothing will let them on what can they do?
First thing, they can drop their delusions of becoming mainstream with this shitty DEI Persona clone they're pushing. Then, for a start, they should observe that games like Edens Zero and Majogami have far more risque content and customization options even on cucked platforms, so Compile Heart are unnecessarily limiting themselves by shitting out CERO B mobile-tier games with zero ecchi content like Calamity Angels. There is no reason we can't have at least bath/onsen CGs with skinship like we used to even on consoles.
Then if they really wanted to bring the ecchi back, TurretGirls is a PC-exclusive that sold over 100k copies, way more than any modern CH game. And Qureate are doing fine for themselves despite being effectively PC-exclusive by now, they outright call themselves a "gentleman's game" company. If they're concerned about being rejected from Steam, they can just use offsite patches or even make things like touching minigames and loliservice effectively (free) DLC like this publisher did with Gensou Yumegoki. And of course, limited edition physical PC versions with all the content.
Above all, they need to actually try to make good, engaging JRPGs again instead of throwing a bunch of retarded gimmick styles at the wall and hoping something sticks. Fairy Fencer F Advent Dark Force is pretty light on the ecchi, but it's one of my absolute favorite Compile Heart games to the point I'm replaying it right now because it was made with SOVL, something lacking in modern Compa games.
The overall point being, Compile Heart, even in the situation they're in now, could be so much more. There are several ways they could salvage this and still keep their integrity and cater to their main audience, if they only tried. But they're not trying at all. In fact, it now feels like they have active contempt for what they used to be.
>but I think the PS5 generation as a whole has shown Sony they can't trust the western branch either
Yeah, well, I'm sure we thought the same of Nintendo after the Wii U flopped amid several major controversies with censorship of first-party games on both it and the 3DS. We got the early-mid Switch era where they were the de facto uncensored content platform along with games like Xenoblade 2 from them. Then they turned around and started doing the same thing again but even worse this time.

> Here I heard Belarus basically legalized piracy as long as it was from an "enemy nation", which is hilariously based, but I guess that won't matter if you can't even access anything from the outside.
Exactly. But the internet laws/censorship in Belarus are much less strict than what I have to deal with... in here, torrent trackers get attacked because they often share national content too.
Piracy is something our government discourages but turns a blind eye upon as long as you're not stealing from the government or someone that has a legal presence in my country. 
>almost all of which are being propelled by Republicans and defended by tradcucks despite internet anonymity being one of the right's biggest assets here

I dunno, they probably updated the compatibility layer since the release of FFF. FFF was a system seller (released in ~2017, NepVII came out one year later. Maybe Compa or Sony, the engine provider, learned something since the release of their first game on Switch.
>VII
Fair enough. For me, it's the second best, I really like the epic chorus theme that plays when you fight Dark CPUs. Zero Dimension map theme is also the best map screen music in Neptunia series, period.
I really don't like the direction the soundtrack is taking in more modern games (SvS, GMRE, Re:Verse). It sounds much more mellow, unepic, ADHD-ish. I hope they make the music for the next mainline dynamic (by making a clever mixing system that mixes in instruments and changes the current track according to the current state you're in instead of playing another track from the beginning).

  Where knowledge is free
  Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
  By narrow domestic walls
  Where words come out from the depth of truth
  Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
  Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
  Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
  Where the mind is led forward by thee
  Into ever-widening thought and action
  Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my anons awake.

Busy week, only just noticed. Thanks for the notifs.
tl; Will try and get it back up within the coming week and will post a new address here.

I haven't changed anything, it appears as if my site/account is deleted (Sorry, we cannot restore this account. on pw reset) and I haven't received any email from Neocities.

I did receive an email 5 weeks ago from some confused passerby claiming there was an uncensored link and asking "Why even make the site? To spread child porn to more people?", so perhaps they reported it. Or it could be coincidence - I can't imagine such a report taking a month to process.

Regardless, the Neocities site was really just a way to pseudonymously host for free, because when I started the site over 5 years ago, I didn't know how to host a website myself or have a way to pay for one without personal information. So this is just the push needed to run the script and the website on a proper server. I'll try and get it up and running when I have a spare couple of hours, and maybe use the opportunity to improve XJ-9K - although I have many other projects I'm actively working on so I generally just maintain XJ-9K for the past few years, rather than develop it.
