New disks?

They haven't made floppies for years now, iirc.

Captive market. Easy prey.

Call it what you want, those with no morals have no boundaries. This is what laws are supposed to prevent, but y'know, the sociopaths have normalised greed and gluttony, and made it the "dream" of a nation.

It decays, like the physical body. Entropy comes for everything in the end.

That would be the consciousness that lives in the meat puppet, the experiences of life shaping it the whole time.

Not a soul, per se, just an accident of physics. Something as yet unquantifiable, but definitely something. Quite possibly something involving quantum physics, which would explain the difficulty in determining what makes us, us.

We've discovered that a number of life forms appear to use quantum effects in some way, the ones I remember were navigation oriented (ba dum tish). Having existing examples of biology making use of the quantum world makes the idea much less of a stretch.

Food for thought. 💛

I had one of the 23 machines in the world that ran Windows ME flawlessly. :(

Graphics system usually. Back in the day I used to be able to tell where on the screen the cursor was from the pitch of the coil whine.

I buy better hardware nowadays 😂

You're describing gmod, if the engine wasn't... Well, like it is.

While people will undoubtedly take the piss, for a number of reasons, it's less energy expenditure / lower footprint than you getting in your car/truck and going to the store and getting them yourself.
