@berkberkman @animeirl I don't pay attention or care about graphic design, video production, etc. But apparently, Macs were actually never the best option for those. They just became a shitty trend by Hollywood film directors. I've heard that even back then, Amiga was actually the best option when it came to media production.

@netdoll @animeirl Laptops are still repairable if you buy a good one and not some shitty netbook, but anyone who isn't using a netbook, cheap laptop, or MacBook is probably a PC gamer who is naturally going to replace his gaming laptop when newer AAA games make it obsolete.

I'm actually trying to keep my current laptop for as long as possible. It's already outlasting my previous laptops and I recently replaced the fans. When the time comes, I'm either going to get a System76 or Framework.

@netdoll @animeirl Phones have always been meant to be replaced every ~2 years, and that is mostly due to cellular network giving you a free upgrade.

@netdoll @animeirl Ironic coming from the company that is probably the most known for planned obsolescence.

>Mac Pros of that era are pretty good hardware

How? They always seemed on par with mid-range PCs at best.

@netdoll @animeirl If you want a Mac that acts like a traditional PC just build a Hackintosh (yeah I know that it's no longer an option, but it was back in 2010).

@netdoll @animeirl I have never seen a single person owning a MacPro. Every desktop Mac I see is an iMac. Rarely do I see a Mac Mini, but it's usually used as a home theater setup.

I wish Mars One wasn't a scam. I bet there would be more people signing up for that than ever, given the direction society is going.

>Literally turns to sludge with contact with water

I never have that happened before. Do you live next to a river or something?

@MeBigbrain @ItsSkyDragonz And I know from experience that repairing dry wall is much easier than repairing brick wall.

@MeBigbrain @ItsSkyDragonz You still have to repair your stuff no matter what. Accidents happen.

> "i wish you could migrate the go projects to some other language"

like nim :blobcat3c:

@ItsSkyDragonz I think it's not about durability but more about how easy it is to repair. If you have a hole in the wall, depending on the size of the hole you can patch it or use dry wall with DryDex (that's a brand and I don't know what the actual thing is called).

@mint @voltrina @netdoll I miss TrueOS. It was the only BSD that I could actually use.

for the game today i added in another side quest and created a character graphic i had forgotten about. next i'll be creating the characters that are available in the side quest and giving them their dialogue and stuff. one of these characters is actually one you can recruit to your party, so i'll be adding that capability as well.

there are 4 total members you can recruit to your party and since you always have the two main characters you can recruit up to two of them at a time. as of this very moment, it is actually only possible to recruit one of them without dev tools so i do need to get on that.
