That game was amazing. Although I didn't realize that there was a Dreamcast version or that the Dreamcast had a keyboard.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 months ago (3 children)

I definitely had a keyboard for my Dreamcast. It was my first internet enabled console, as well as my first exposure to online gaming with strangers (previously I had only done direct TCP/IP connections with friends on games like Diablo 1 and Starcraft). Phantasy Star Online was so damn addictive.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

I can still remember typing and leveling on mine in PSO, great times with my chainsaw sword.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

There were two (firmware?) releases of the Dreamcast keyboard. The first release would allow TWO KEYBOARDS to be used with the game. The later release keyboard would only allow a single keyboard to be active at a time. It was a lot of fun yelling at your teammate to type faster, which of course made both players more flustered and do poorly.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Damn this brings me back. Had some great modem games of the original GTA with my friend.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

To be honest I didn't even realise this was the Dreamcast cover. It was an awesome game though

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I learned how to type with this, at the age of 22 as a full time software engineer! I never knew how to touch type, but then I somehow landed a software engineering job. I figured I needed to learn, so I downloaded this and played it so much. Good times.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

You are describing my touchtyping/zombieslaying adventure. This game literally taught me how to type, it's amazing!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

I surprisingly good game! I also learned that my touch typing was decent, but not when zombie mobs are attacking me.

Tom Scott looks good in a 90's shirt and tie.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

This is exactly the sort of thing he'd do if given access to a time machine.

WOW SO INNOVATIVE I can now look like a knuckle head anywhere!

Weird. My brain didn't even notice the blender until after I watched the video.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 5 months ago

That's weak. Just put it on you boner, and you're good to go.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 months ago

Super handy when you're working in data centers.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago

Did you know that STRAP ON spelled backwards is NO PARTS?

Yeah that joke comes from a slightly different angle, but I think it still loosely fits here as well LOL!

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Nathan Fielder had one in The Rehearsal.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

When the hell is season 2 of that going to arrive? I know a few months ago they confirmed it was in production, so hopefully soon! Such a great show, Nathan Fielder is the king of dead pan comedy.

The factory floor must know the power you yield

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

God help you if he takes his right hand out of his pocket.

• in seconds!

Standing desk meet walking desk

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago

he's looking on as he continues typing, listless to whomever will read his bullshit LinkedIn post.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You jest. But, as a standing desk worker, something like this looks amazing.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Absolutely! The angle seems a bit off though. Looks like neck pain.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Yes. Looking down at that angle is also a hard no.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

"in seconds." Ah yes, clearly the best point made for this product.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

You really can't argue with "in seconds." It's what made me go to eBay.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

It's reverse AC for your groin! Get swamp crotch without the hassle of effort.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

Maybe useful for field work, but I can't justify the office equivalent of a grillwalker for anything else.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

I wish I remembered the actual product name but I recall there being, and people making fun of, this gnarly LAN party backpack that allowed you to carry your PC, a power supply and a fucking CRT monitor around on a rigid frame backpack to bring your entire setup with you everywhere.

One of the image macros floating around back then was of that thing with a rig attached so you could have your mouse and keyboard in front of you and the monitor held ahead of you from over the top allowing you to walk around playing Doom. 🤣

Step 1. Cut a hole in a box. 2. Put your junk in the box. 3. Make her open the box.

And that's the way you do it!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Nah man, if you ever had your meat beaten by your girl you should know that they are rough as fuck with your junk, it would hurt and if they have nails then god forbid you try it

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

I had a job that bought me one of these about 15 years ago, never used it

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

I remember that in some episode of Digimon some kid had one of those and back then I thought this was the most amazing shit.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

It just needed a monkey with a tip cup.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

This reminds me of people who work on their laptop in the metro train. Like holy shit at this point you're almost advertising.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

In what way is that advertising? And what is the product?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I guess they mean as a to robbers and to be robbed.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

This is what I mean yes

The original walking desk

[–] Zink 4 points 5 months ago

I can think of exactly one person I’ve ever met that would use this. It was a dude in college who would walk across campus back to his dorm holding an open laptop in one arm and occasionally using the other hand to interact with it.

This was when you needed a PCMCIA card to have WiFi on your laptop, so it was probably new and exciting to have that mobility.
