/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Most of /jp/ is still using the laptop their parents got them in high school because they are now unemployed.

I think those of us who are well employed do spend on our computers.

I have a shit computer and I get the opposite impression.

Also did people just rediscover that image or something?

Mine runs most modern games at high settings.

I don't know, OP. You tell me why you have this impression.

neets dont have any money

What would I do with a fast computer? Masturbate on it?

>>9003988
I spent money I don't have on my mine. These things take sacrifices.

>>9003986

>>9003891

>>9003991
No, I just keep re-posting it so it becomes an epic meme.

I do that with most images I save.

>>9003994
That's sparky. He loves old shit.

I loved Chrono Trigger too

>>9003994
So you saw a screencap where a single person is running a Linux distribution and therefore everyone on /jp/ has a shit computer.

Whats the point its not like i play videogames anymore.

>>9004002
I see.

Carry on, then.

>>9004014
I will.

Fuckin' deal with it, nerd.

It's dated, but not that shitty.

I stopped buying new shit when I stopped playing modern video games, I just play games like GoS, drawfag a little and watch anime now. I just need to get a new monitor really.

>>9004006
Well, that one and every other desktop screenshot I see on /jp/. It was just an example.

Most people in this thread are admitting they have shit computers, too.

I have a theory about this, and I ask you to keep an open mind:

NEETs have less money.

Shocking, I know.

>>9004023
>i7
>dated

>>9004031
who are you quoting?

>>9003980
NIGGA PLEASE

Can't be helped.

>>9004037
The person he replied to, dufus.

my 486 DX

>>9004037

Because I rather have a shitty laptop than a decent computer.

I can't be bothered to even sit in a fucking chair anymore.

I find it slightly offputting that many neets on /jp/ aren't getting uatism bucks.

If you've been one for more than 6 months and still get nothing you don't have a problem, you're just a lazy asshole. You just need to man up and go to school or get a job.

>>9004054
sparky is posting right here with his tripcode and name and everything.

And what does the janitor do?
Nothing.

>>9004042

That bra is so gaudy. He must have gotten it from Goodwill.

My favourite entertainment medium consists almost entirely of text and static images.

>>9004072
Maybe he isn't banned anymore?

>>9004079

Sparky peeled it off some road.

>>9004086
He's permabanned, Has been for three years, in fact.

>>9004070
Mee too. Laying down and refreshing /jp/ is the best.

I haven't upgraded in a while.

Is this considered shitty these days?

>>9004115
For games? Not at all.

Just got this refurb a month ago, couldn't play any video exceeding 600p without lag until then.

>>9004137
Please don't reply to me, nerd.

>>9004142
Well since you said please.

>>9004168
What part of "don't reply to me" did you not understand?

Reported.

>>9004171

>>9004174
GET.

OUT.

>>9004190
Are you frustrated, kid? Calm down sperglord.

>>9004197
I warned you.

>>9004070
>>9004094
Come on, don't be like that. You don't need a laptop to do lazy stuff. I have a desktop pc and I mostly lounge on the couch while using it.

>>9004093

>>9004208

No, you didn't "appeal it", I asked.

>>9004204

I agree with you, I have a laptop now, but it was much easier to take it easy with my desktop.

>>9004205

Pretty shitty.

>>9004216
how too receive forgivness?

Mine is not bad. Can't run Skyrim on high settings, but does the job in most cases.

That was just an example, I do not actually play Skyrim.

I want to upgrade.

I've been with this guy for so long that I feel emotionally attached to it. I don't even want to get a new computer anymore.

>>9004434
How do you even manage with just one small HDD?

>>9003980
wow, I miss playing Lufia 2

I bought the i5 750 shortly after release, then got fucked over when they released the better and cheaper 2500k version less than a year later.

It also says crossfire is disabled but it's actually on.

I have a shitty computer because I don't know how computers work. I have the same desktop I bought 6 years ago. I'd love to be one of those people who built their own computer, because I have enough money to do it, I just don't know how. Generally when I ask people about computers they just laugh at me. Apparently because I use it regularly, I'm supposed to know the ins and outs of technology and be able to hack the pentagon.

I mean, I could just google "how build computer", but I wouldn't really know what I was doing, I'd just be doing what a guide said to do. The first time my computer would have a problem, I'd be out of luck.

Doesn't help my confidence that when I was younger, I simply opened the side of my computer to look in it, and then closed it back up... and it stopped working.

:(

You don't need a good computer for eroge erry day.

Shitty laptops have great ventilation, don't you think?

I dont need graphic card

Unless you googled for the shittiest building guide on the internet, they would explain what parts you need as well as why you need them and solutions to common problems new builders run into.

As for why your PC stopped working, you either forgot to touch the metal casing and shocked it or you did something dumb like forgetting to flip the PSU's on switch back on.

Nothin' special te see here, move along.

everyone's computers are better than mine and mine's brand new.

>>9006043
Is it a prebuilt or what?

>>9006048
no, custom built with a 300 dollar budget. no job = no expensive parts

>>9006051
A 300 dollar computer would be more than enough for me since I haven't played any games in over a year.

>>9006061
u're moms enough for you nerd

No clue what you're on about, my computer is awesome.

>>9006097

>>9006097
Well this program sucks, beyond me why it's the go to for specs...
Anyways my cpu is OCed to 3.6GhZ and my gpu is a 5770.

This is what the laptop looks like: http://www.ezdia.com/epad/gateway-nv59c-laptop-review/3595/

But mine has a coffee color. It is susposed to be 64-bit but the hard drive died a year ago so yeah.

>>9006156
no

>>9003990
What this guy said. I'd feel like an asshole asking for a new computer more than once every 3 years.

Son, what do you think you're doing?

At this point in time you could reasonably call a Pentium 4 dated and not sound like a retard. That's about it.

how disgusting

>>9006217
Not really. My desktop is a E6600 with 4850.

Sits firmly in 'best value' tier there. Famously high value parts.
Feels good.
Still, I use my laptop for internets since it draws a measly 30-40W so I save on electricity.
Waiting for trinity.

>>9006229
Yes but this thread is obviously chock full of /g/ kiddies who don't know how to properly use a computer and think anything but the newest ricey hardware is outdated.

How jealous are you of my single core, nerds?

>>9004023
Are you me...?
We have almost the exact same build, except with an i5
I wouldn't consider it "dated," still runs like a pro.

I'm using the same laptop that I've had since early 2008. It still works just fine, so why replace something that isn't broken? It kind of sucks that I can't play Hearts of Iron, but that is really the only qualm I have.

I still have two laptops from 2001 and 2002 and I love them. Internet capability is really all that I need.

>>9006294
For what, exactly? What have XP, Vista, and 7 brought to the table?

>>9006233
It's actually the /v/ kiddies who do that. Truu /g/entoomen use decade old IBM Thinkpads and CRTs.

>>9006311
As if that's any better.

>>9004042
sparky!

shit tyrogue, get it together.

I'm running a three-year-old computer that was low-end back then. AMD Phenom 9650 Quad-Core at 2.3GHz, 4GB of DDR2 RAM, and an ATI Radeon 4350 HD.

It struggles to play most non-doujin games released after 2009, even on the lowest settings. It plays Touhou, Minecraft, LoL and WC3, though, and it has no problem with anime. So, so long as my computer can play those games, and anime, there's no reason to upgrade.

I pirate games for my PS3 and Xbox, and while I understand that PC gaming is superior in every way (save for the lack of JRPGs on PCs), I can save money to spend on figures by using a crappy computer.

I did have a literally max-end computer for a while, though. For about 2 months, I played every game on maximum settings, 24/7.

Basically, I don't need a more powerful computer, and I save a whopping 10 dollars a month or so on electricity costs, because of the 300w PSU. Take into account that to keep a mid-range computer mid-range, you'd have to spend around 200 dollars a year, that makes it like 320 dollars a year in total it'd cost to have a mid-range computer. That's 320 dollars I could spend on sex pillows, or Ona Holes, or figures to hot-glue!

Hasn't given me a single issue since 2009

Honestly it's because I spend 200$ a month on figures. And I only have a total of 250$ a month. So no money for computers.

>>9004006
>Linux
Can't you see the start button?

>>9003980
fuck my cock dude

>>9008811
What? That's Xfce.

Calling it Linux is still incorrect, though. It's GNU/Linux.

Because I can't bring myself to spend that much money. I have about 10k saved up but I never spend more than $20 at a time. I feel dirty when I spend money.

It's pretty dated by today's standards, but the most "demanding" things I do are read VN's, play Touhou and doujin games and some programming. The only things I need now are more HDDs to store stuff. Going to replace that 6 year old 250GB soon with another 2TB Hitachi.

>>9012492
>evga motherboard
Do you like to piss money away?

>>9012555
Yes, I have plenty of money to piss away.

I spent all of my slowly-acquired NEET money ($900~) on a nice computer last year

all I play is MAME

I don't need much to play 1080p. The few games that I play don't require a high end graphics card or processor. Also I'm poor as shit and I'd have to save up for months to buy a high end rig. I'd much rather spend it on merchandise or food

>>9004825
It's more than enough for me, because I don't usually archive anime and there aren't many games in here.

>>9003990
I am employed and still do this. I have to use an external keyboard to type because the keyboard is out and fucking Acer wouldn't warranty it.

I'm just too tired to scrap myself out of my chair to go buy a new one. And why should I get a new one? This one works just fine. I've never had framerate problems with VNs, Touhou, emulators for old consoles, or other little games. I'm not interested in bluray anime rips decoded in the GPU either. Even Opera can read this HTML5 shit passably, and I don't tend to keep 50+ tabs of /b/ open with 5 second autoupdate, that's not a problem either.

I can easily see 3 more years out of this girl. Why she does finally give out, I will give her a proper burial before replacing her.

I don't even need to care about 720p or 1080p stuff because my Internet connection only gets to a maximum of 100 kB/s, so they would take forever to download.

associating /jp/ with money, hahaha get out.
