I has one in my old rig. Decided to replay Gothic, so I got out the disks to try installing it, which failed and I ended up buying it on GOG for 2,50€ instead.

I decided not to have an optical drive in my current machine.

Do external ones count?

[–] BlastboomStrice@mander.xyz 4 points 6 months ago

My laptop has! (I ~don't use a desktop)

[–] FQQD@lemmy.ohaa.xyz 3 points 6 months ago

I do :)

I have an (unplugged) blu-ray drive in my tower… but only because my case is old enough that tracking down the right blanking plate is a pain.

I have an external Blu-ray drive which was quite the adventure to get working correctly on dosbox.

I have one in a USB enclosure in my parts box, I get it out every 5-10y when I need to read a disc

Why do you need dual cup holders? Is that so it can hold an extra large mountain dew?

Any reason for having a floppy drive? Never seen those in semi-modern cases

[–] the16bitgamer@lemmy.world 27 points 6 months ago

cuz my pc had a spot for a floppy drive.
have a few old pcs laying around which makes my life easier to have.

It has a internal usb to floppy drive adapter so everything works

Wow that's a... An image taken on a Pixel, that's for sure...

[–] the16bitgamer@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Would it shock you that it wasn't taken on a pixel?

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Yes it would. The picture just really has that over amplified brightening of the black case. I kinda associated this kind of processing with the pixel (I have one, so I thought I was super smart, but apparently no!)

Na its a Poco X3 Pro running the google pixle photos app. Mostly because LineageOS stock photo app doesn't support all cameras

[–] seaQueue@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Gcam does that no matter what phone you hack it onto. I have a modified gcam on my op9 pro and it produces similar photos.

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 months ago

Oh i know. I've used many different gcam mods over the years. They're really cool

Forget optical drives, SSD Raid backplanes is where it's at
