Time Gooning - A verb

 

Time Gooning - The act of creating or using a time travel device for the express purpose of gooning on people from your past. 

Dangers: 

• Going back in time to goon on yourself would create a paradox and potentially end your time line or destroy the universe.
• Traveling back to a point of time where you would be having an orgasm to experience it again, could create a paradox loop of orgasms that you could not escape easily.
• When going back to the future, you still express the same post nut disappointment 
• You still age even if no one else around you does when you visit them at certain times, so when going back to the future, people notice you have aged in your goon-travels and you would have to explain yourself.
• People will know what you have done in the future if you don't remember to go back in time to correct it.

Examples:

• Time Cop - Van Damm goes back in time to goon on his dead wife which causes depression possible paradox.
• Back to the Future - Marty goes back in time and unknowingly goons on his mom
• Slipstream - Sean Astin goons on a bank teller at the beginning, sexually harassing her over and over.
• About Time and the Time Travel's wife are both Time Gooning movies at their core
• Time Freak - The ultimate time goon movie, where the main character just mix-maxes his time travel with every intention to have sex with the girl from game of thrones

Sharp MR-990 Boombox

 

No one asked for it, everyone wanted it.

Have you ever wanted the power of a boom box, but the versatility of low quality synth in the same package? The Sharp MR-990 has you covered. 

You can harness the power of 5 whole watts and half of Midi quality without any kind of FM Synthesis, but think of how awesome your friends will think you are in the late 80's, when you whip this fucking thing out at lunch.

Laserdisc Movie Night - Legend

 

     Sunday's are movie night in my house, and my son and I try and watch something on an old movie format for funsies. Of course tonight is Legend!

Crow's Nest BBS (#MARCHintosh)

 

      Just in time for #MARCHintosh- The Crows Nest is back.

     Credit to Todd Knight on Facebook and Reddit, the Crow's Nest is hosted on a 40mhz 68040 IIci with a bunch of upgrades and modems added to it. Really cool shit, check it out!

Tales of Wedding Rings - Anime Full Series!

 

You have to marry me.. to be a hero!

     Tales of Wedding Rings checks an enormous amount of boxes for most anime fans:

1. Isekai - Or character transported to another world
2. Ecchi - Playful sexual interactions.. 18+ Seinen
3. High quality Dub available
4. Fan service, Harem
5. Does not quit after 12 episodes
6. Action is decent, writing is also decent

     I'm only a few episodes in, and I like the playful comedy of it, and there is not a ton of sex and nudity, if that makes you uneasy.. but it somewhat implied. Don't take this one too seriously, but don't miss it either. I have been trying to branch out in other genre's lately, and for those who like High School DxD, you may like this more than most.

PC Build and Initial Thoughts - RTX 5090 & Core Ultra 9 285k Series 2

 

     Retired is the venerable RTX 2080 and 10700k Combo that kept my gaming career alive the last 7 years, retired to the garage as a working and reliable substitute if ever we need it again. Much like a SR71 Blackbird- it will be reactivated when needed. 

PC Specs:

• Core Ultra 9 285k
• ASRock Z890-Pro Motherboard
• RTX 5090 TUF 3 Slot, 3 Fan, 32gb DDR7 (HP Edition)
• 64gb Kingston Fury Beast DDR5 5600 XMP/RGB Heatsink Ram 4x16
• Samsung 980 Pro 2tb. Gen 4 NVME
• 360mm Liquid Cooler LCD Cap
• ASRock 1200w Platinum ATX Power Supply
• HP45L Omen Max case

Other Stuff:

• 2x Ultragear 31.5" Curved 32G6OWA Monitors
• Wacom One Tablet
• Logitech Extreme 30 Pro
• Razer Nostromo Chroma
• Razer Deathadder Elite Chroma
• Razer Cynosa Chroma
• Razer Kraken Pro 3.0 Chroma
• Yeti Blue Boom Mic
• Edifier W4 Pro Speakers
• Panasonic HC-770V camera
• Eureka Pro Aero Wing 72" desk

Why did I upgrade?

I had wanted to upgrade to 1440p and use our spare 4k monitor in the garage for gaming for some time, but the 2080 can barley cut the mustard when it comes to Ray Tracing and frame rate at those resolutions, so I was stuck with some good but old 1080p monitors. It was time to upgrade the monitors, but I had to get everything with the PC in line first. Unfortunately the PC was a little late, so the monitors were the first upgrade, as mentioned in a previous post.. for a steal. It's been over 6 years. It's fucking time. 

Why 5090?

I mean, why not. If you can get it for around MSRP, I think the answer is do it. You can spend over 2k for a 5080, but if you wait and do the research, you can get something you want for the same amount.. which was what I did for this particular PC. I know it's overkill, but the last time I had a cutting edge PC was over 6 years ago, I think its time to go flagship again and really play these new games how they were intended to be played.

• YOLO
• Only 30% higher cost as 5080 in my area at the time of this post
• Available at the time
• Want this to last me 6 more years
• Wanted to go big with dual 1440p or 4k monitors
• I heard 6 series wont be until 2027

Why Intel??

I know I'm going to get a bunch of shit for not getting one of the new AMD X3D processors that are beating the pants of anything for the same price. 2 year old processors from team green still can rate very highly in most gaming benchmarks. I get it.

• I like intel. IMO - No issues, compatible, reliable.
• My son has a 14700k and the thing is still a performance beast in anything you throw at it. The lifespan is pretty good. 
• Power draw and temps are lower
• Great for gaming and productivity both
• I think they will make more improvement down the road
• Known AMD issues with processors melting and getting sent back sounds scary to me
• Price was $100 lower than a Ryzen 9 9950x3d for very similar performance

Other Notes: On the surface, I really don't know what to say that I have not already. I'm doing everything I did before, but everything is just so much better. Fast, damn near totally silent. I never realized how loud my old PC was when things were ramping up. I feel like I could take on anything, any game, I never have to look at the graphic details.. just turn them all up to max. I miss this feeling. Do you want to play Cyberpunk 2077 on Overdrive? Yeah, me too, so here we are. There is a noticeable but very faint sound as the power supply turns on and off when I'm doing different tasks; this is the only perceptible sound I can hear from the PC at any time, even during gaming. Even when benchmarking on 3Dmark's Time Spy Extreme, I never hit 60c on the video card or the processor. I reran the benchmark twice without changing anything, my best score was 22858. With some light overclocking, I can see getting easily into the 25k range.

It's HP Parts dude.. and that review.

     How do you think I was able to afford this? All the discounts available, $1000 off the price of a new 5090.. the list goes on. You can buy this total build refurbished for $6479 right now, which is way less than the cost of the parts if you can get them with the bullshittery going on with ram pricing. The parts I did have to complete this build were all bought on sale. I'm very aware of the review by Gamers Nexus, and made notes when watching it. Scam? I think that's a little harsh. I bought a new revision of essentially the same item, and have zero issues with anything out of the gate except for bloat, which took me 15 minutes to uninstall. Did I have to go into the BIOS and click the "Unlock" button to get all the features I paid for? Yes, and that was a 2 minute pain in the ass that I'm willing to deal with. Overall I thought his review was very exaggerated until the end, where he actually reviewed the PC with the performance unlocked, and everything worked fine. Criticizing the cooler was expected, and the case design, but was not very honest, because if you took ANY radiator out of the PC and aimed a fan at it, it would perform better outside the confines of a case. The temps on mine are always under 50c, and have never hit 60c in any testing. I saw the GPU get to 57c when playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle for about an hour. Overall, I'm impressed and whatever issues people see in that video, I'm not experiencing that with this case or build. Whatever bios or software changes have been made since that review have fixed whatever issues Gamers Nexus complained about. 

*Edit* The price of this PC has been raised to $6999, but it sometimes on sale for slightly less.

This is for you guys - Thanks for reading.

Teaser - New PC Build.. Coming soon.

 

Core Ultra 9 285k - RTX 5090 - Full Review next week if all goes as planned.

Blood [DOS] (1997) Full game in browser!

 

This game is just as badass as it looks.

     Think of a Doom and Duke, Hexen and Heretic... but refined, more features, and a ton more horror elements and gore. Blood was the first FPS games that used Voxels, advanced lighting effects, and far improved sound and level design. It retro-futuristic wild west feel was far ahead of its time, and has a last effect on gaming to this day.
