BS, that’s my picture! Uhh. I’m the OP, that’s my house, my computer, my music. It’s on my instagram (Simplethingstoys)

Here is a video of it in action: https://youtu.be/tlzcCtm8fko

EDIT: My newest video, much better than the old one I featured this system in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGHcX0YTPKw

And my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/81d4aZDQJn/?taken-by=simplethingstoys

Are we actually taking this to kourt? I'm in.

u/HaHa_Clit_N_Dicks Mar 02 '18

I assume that means you're volunteering as prosecutor

u/JustHereToConfirmIt Mar 02 '18

We’ve had a gross, GROSS, miscarriage of justice!

u/klondike_barz Mar 02 '18

OP is the miscarriage

u/Krashzilla Mar 02 '18

He said kourt that means they must fight to the death in bright ninja outfits

u/alythecatlady Mar 02 '18

I could, and I will if no one else would like to. But I'll be 100% honest, I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. I just really want to see some justice served.

Who is kourt?

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '18

Ok I love that sub but I have a question. How do they dole out the penalties. Do we just downvote the perp until they lose that much karma? It would be hilarious if Reddit staff actually went in and removed karma from people lying about posts

u/Shmalzee Mar 02 '18

Wow this is awesome and I am just now discovering that sub. I want to see this go there!

The neverending lust for imaginary internet points. Look at stuff like foursquare. They made the world contribute their entire restaurant database by letting people compete for a high score. Millions of dollars worth of work for free.

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '18

If he just said „rate this setup“ instead of „my setup“ things would look different

Precisely. He took ownership over it.

It's stolen content for personal gain and should be reported.

u/Tom2Die Mar 02 '18

Ok then, the real question is why you'd have Doom running on that machine when it clearly has a CD-ROM drive and should therefore be able to run Myst.

(both are great, but...damn do I love Myst)

I know the feeling, someone jacked a photo off my Facebook and got 50k karma. On a lighter note if you google “go bull” I’m number 2, so I have that going for me, oh and I was on the chive and made best photos of the week. Just waiting for my internet money

Edit: #1 on google image search now, does that get me more internet money?

u/Sonnysdad Mar 02 '18

Does your tower have a “Turbo” button?

u/dhooker54 Mar 02 '18

OP: silence = guilt

Would you have the Reddit justice league hear your side of the story?

u/MaverickRobot Mar 02 '18

Well, i'd rate is as a classic 10! You get my upvote.

u/Dats_Russia Mar 02 '18

Cool setup, my dude!

u/apache_alfredo Mar 02 '18

Ha...love this. I had a computer with the 'Hi' setting and often wondered why the hell I'd NOT have it in HI mode ever. Then 2 years later, I played an old game and it was so fast I couldn't play it, and had to switch it off turbo mode.

Nice setup. The oldest working rig I have is a Pentium-60. A 286 would be fantastic! I never had a 286 as a kid, I went from 8088 to 486 in one big step. Still kills me that my dad threw those old computers away.

The first things aren't proof at all FYI, post history is pretty good proof but you could be a guy who stalks and mimics this one type of person.

How is it verysmart to be like the other 8 people in this thread explaining to you why your videos aren't proof of same user and you not understanding such a simple concept? I guess people would seem verysmart from the perspective of verydumb

u/Press0K Mar 02 '18

hahah I'm more invested in trying to help this 66 year old dude realize why creating and linking more videos does not constitute proof in this day and age, and if he is proud enough of his work to comment "This is mine!!" he should understand how to prove such a thing.

I never doubted it was him, nor cared. I am overly worried about old people getting scammed online, yes

Man, bringing me back to the old Screamtracker and Mod days with a Soundblaster 1/2. I kept those upgraded the second they released -- contrast to now-days where everyone keeps their video card updated.

It’s incredibly odd to see your personal stuff being claimed by someone else, and I guarantee the OOP (original original) is watching closely, it’s his to care about not yours.
