01:29:48 <rust_collector> heh, the wife is in shopping mode today, so... I made her buy a lawn mower
01:30:20 <rust_collector> I just wonder what else she will buy
01:30:57 Join: Nothing\ ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
01:31:08 <rust_collector> hey Nothing\
01:31:10 <Nothing\> welp, i'm finally putting my ps2 into retirement
01:31:15 <Nothing\> hey rust_collector how goes it?
01:31:21 <rust_collector> awesome
01:32:15 <Nothing\> i found out last night they actually have diablo 3 for the switch, i did not expect that
01:32:54 <rust_collector> The wife and I just had a discussion about buying a clothes dryer, or a lawn mower. I voted for dryer, as it is on sale, and we will use it for years, so she is getting a mower
01:32:58 <Nothing\> i was always pissed cuz i got diablo 3 on my ps3, but they stopped adding new content to it becaues "the older hardware can't handle it" so i felt like what's the point of playing anymore if i'm not playing the full game
01:33:24 <Nothing\> i'd have gone dryer too, you use that all year round, the lawn mower's just seasonal
01:33:34 <Nothing\> we really need a washing machine here, we have a drier
01:34:19 <rust_collector> I like things like super mario. I don't care if it is not the newest or has all the extras, it is a game, and it works, and that would let me waste time well enough
01:34:40 <rust_collector> Not that I have played mario in the last decade or 2
01:35:01 <Nothing\> my cousin's mother in law said we could have hers' cuz she's getting a new one, but that was 6 months ago, it's turned into one of those things where they tell you they'll do you a favor, and then screw you around with constant excuses as to why they can't follow through with what they said they would do
01:35:21 <Nothing\> meanwhile i'm stuck wasting money at laundromats when i could have been saving up for a washer had i known she wasn't genuine about her offer
01:35:29 <rust_collector> I think we should get a dishwasher.
01:35:58 <Nothing\> heh i'm the same way, i was perfectly content playing mario galaxy on the wii, and have been playing them for years since they came out
01:36:23 <rust_collector> hmm, you are on a debian sort of thing?
01:36:24 <Nothing\> i get just as much joy from playing old games as i do new ones, more often than not i get more joy
01:36:29 <Nothing\> yeah, rasbpian
01:36:38 <rust_collector> have you tried alex4?
01:36:42 <Nothing\> but my mind craves novelty like crazy
01:36:51 <Nothing\> nah i haven't, i'm just on a pi so it's not great for gaming
01:36:52 <rust_collector> I like simple games
01:37:02 <Nothing\> it came with an alpha version of minecraft and that wouldn't even run
01:37:32 <rust_collector> yeah, but I think it might work on a pi. I don't know, but if you are bored one day...
01:38:29 <rust_collector> it is just a mario clone. and pretty ugly
01:38:31 <Nothing\> i like games where they add RPG type elements to make it feel like you're accomplishing more, stuff like ex points, level ups, equipment, upgrades and upgrade points, especially on games whech aren't inherently RPGs, i find it gives me a greater feeling of accomplishment
01:38:38 <Nothing\> ah lol
01:38:56 <Nothing\> that reminds me, i got this free to play pinball game on the switch for my mom cuz she loves pinball games
01:39:05 <Nothing\> turned out, yeah the game is free, but the tables cost money
01:39:14 <rust_collector> hah
01:39:21 <Nothing\> damn racket
01:39:53 <Nothing\> but yeah, switch's online store is all full of mobile type games and stuff like that, i was actually surprised at how much selection there is
01:40:10 <Nothing\> and quite a lot of switch specific software as well
01:40:46 <Nothing\> you ever play mar.io?
01:40:55 <Nothing\> that's a pretty fun one
01:40:57 <rust_collector> I doubt it
01:41:04 <rust_collector> I do not really play games
01:41:15 <Nothing\> it's a mario clone, nothing different about it from the original EXCEPT you get a portal gun
01:41:24 <rust_collector> heh
01:42:48 <rust_collector> well, I would be careful with that. At least from my time travel experience, it can be a bit difficult to calculate exactly where you end up, and I think portals are similar
01:43:14 <Nothing\> or there's another one, the name eludes me, but it was another verbatim clone allowed you to play super mario bros 1 with characters from other nes games like samus from metroid, the contra guys, mega man, link, and the guy from ninja gaiden and a bunch of others
01:43:20 <Nothing\> it really changes up the gameplay mechanics
01:46:29 <rust_collector> I am going back outside, to peel off some more paint. I probably won't be there too long, lol
01:47:35 <Nothing\> alright man, have fun :) I'm probably gonna play some more switch, i bought sundew valley, which is like harvest moon,, so i'mlooking forward to enjoying it as i did on hte computer before i lost it
01:47:50 <Nothing\> er stardew valley, not sundew
02:04:33 <Nothing\> lol r kelly got arrested on federal sex charges again
02:04:38 <Nothing\> i wonder who he peed on this time
02:31:37 Quit: Nothing\ ([email protected]) Quit: Leaving
03:28:52 <rust_collector> the china one is much more powerful, but I doubt it will last many years
03:42:09 <coppice_> what has our kelly been up to now?

17:42:11 <steve30> I should do some electronics, but I want a cuddly boy/kitten to play with instead

18:00:46 <steve30> hehe
18:02:51 <Halcyon> What he says is absolutely true: "What can you buy today which you can still use in 100 years time?"
18:03:07 <Halcyon> Probably my cast iron pots and pans are the only thing in my house
18:05:07 <steve30> but you'll probably be dead by then
18:07:38 <Halcyon> Yup
18:07:54 <Halcyon> Although I still have my old Nokia's
18:07:56 <Halcyon> They still work
18:08:05 <Halcyon> (Albeit 2G doesn't exist here anymore)
18:10:13 <steve30> they might need new batteries in 100 years
18:10:36 <Halcyon> Yeh but they still last a day or so
18:10:38 <Halcyon> Not bad
18:10:47 <Halcyon> I'd like to see Apple or Samsung do that
18:11:36 <Halcyon> I guess with Lithium batteries, power densities have increased but longevity has decreased
