I reckon with dynamic pricing you're going to get sites like FatWallet again that haven't been captured and turned into Honey (yet, briefly), while people who Aren't McDonald's fuck it up

Maybe I'll get mispricings on RAM like when COMPUSA offered sales online

I’d walk from my house to CompUSA and over to the display Compaq I knew had Civ 2 installed and play for 12 hours at a time (standing) as a kid.

Titan, unul dintre satelitii planetei Saturn
Azi am simtit nevoia sa pictez satelitul Titan la planetei Saturn Titan este cel mai mare satelit al planetei Saturn și este al doilea satelit ca mărime din sistemul nostru solar, după Ganymede, satelitul lui Jupiter. Titan are un diametru de aproximativ 5,151 km și este cunoscut pentru atmosfera sa densă și pentru suprafața sa acoperită de lacuri și mări de metan și etan.a Atmosfera lui Titan este unică în sistemul solar, fiind compusă în principal din azot, cu mici cantități de metan și hidrogen. Aceasta este mult mai densă decât atmosfera Pământului și este caracterizată prin nori de metan care contribuie la un ciclu hidrologic similar cu cel de pe Pământ, dar cu lichide diferite.

What's your "origin" video game?

Most gamers have a lot of favorite games, sure, but there's always one that basically 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴 you: the game that flipped that little switch in your brain and made into a life-long gamer.

Compaq Presario 9546, bought from a CompUSA in Tampa, Florida.

A piece of shit 200mhz Packard Bell. Within two years basically every piece of hardware on it failed, but since we had an extended warranty through CompUSA, they said "We're just gonna give you a new computer" lol. Got a Compaq 500mhz (which was at least a faster piece of shit)

it’s funny to imagine someone in 1999 driving to CompUSA to drop 20-30 bucks on CD that is essentially three (admittedly pretty cool) quests and a level cap increase

My wife and I bought our first home #PC in the early 90s. We got a #Doom shareware floppy in a store, maybe #CompUSA. We liked it so much we bought the full game. I've always been a gamer starting with #SPI and #AvalonHill #strategygames #boardgames when I was a kid. Started #RPG in '77 at college.

Remember big box PC games? GOG’s bringing them back, sort of
I have fond memories of cruising the aisles of CompUSA and browsing the massive cardboard boxes containing floppy disks and CDs. That’s what PC gaming used to look like. Those days are long gone, of course, banished to a time before smartphones and the drone of a data center that’s louder than my dog’s whining for clean water. But GOG is trying to bring that feeling back… sort of. I hope you have a good printer. Apologies for the gloom and doom. GOG’s efforts at preservation are to be applauded, as it almost single-handedly preserves classic PC games and makes them playable on modern hardware with no DRM. But that’s still all digital, something PC gamers have been used to for the better part of two decades. When all three major console systems are moving _away_ from physical releases, now seems like as good a time as any to bring back those giant boxes for PC games—and GOG is doing just that. The Big Box Collection is a digital archive of these classic PC game boxes, complete with an online interface to see them from every angle in 3D. It’s a passion project created and maintained by one person, who’s now partnering with GOG to deliver printable files based on those scans. For five new games in GOG’s Preservation Program, the boxes will be visible in the GOG Galaxy interface, too. And that’s not all! You can print these files out at home and assemble your own box. The five games in the initial collection are: * _Armikrog_ * _Descent_ * _Hitman: Codename 47_ * _Myst_ * _Star Trek: 25th Anniversary_ (_Incidentally, the original Star Trek series debuted 60 years ago yesterday._) GOG calls it “a proper papercraft project for anyone who misses shelves full of PC game boxes.” Which, I’ll admit, is a bit less exciting than I thought it was when I read the headline on the post. I assumed GOG would be printing the boxes itself and shipping them, complete with physical media for the game files, even if just a cheap USB drive. And even if you have a color printer at home, you almost certainly don’t have one that can replicate the quality and finish of mass-produced cardboard packaging. That’s an entire industry all on its own. And having to glue matte paper onto a box you’ll need to provide or assemble yourself? Well, that seems like a pale imitation of the experience of unboxing _Starcraft_ back in ’98. The alternative would be, of course, tracking down a copy of the original game box. But as GOG notes, these are hard to find for many titles, and cardboard doesn’t last forever. And it’s not as if vintage game collecting is getting any less expensive, just like gaming itself. Perhaps a bit of “proper papercraft” is as close as we can get.

I met Ms. Wilson years ago at the Columbus Circle CompUSA location. I forget the technical or software issue she faced. A friend and I offered advice that she accepted graciously.

I knew she was in town for a Carnegie Hall concert (shoutout to the old inky NY Times entertainment section).
