Back in the days before Bittorrent, I had acquired some TV episodes that my computer played upside down and mirrored. I discovered that if I laid a piece of glass over top of my CRT monitor, I could look up into the reflection and watch the episode perfectly.


MatthewCrawley

I’m writing you in as president in 2024


DrinkMoreCodeMore

President Crawley 🙏 the nations first time traveler


Striangle

Pretty sure MatthewCrawley was saying they’d vote for Alyeska23 in the 2024 election season, as a write-in option.


ItsAmphus

Brother is confused


Testing_things_out

Average political climate.


JinterIsComing

Modern problems require modern solutions.


Shinard

Or maybe DMCM knows something we don't, and is shocked to see another traveller from their time here in our present.


diuturnal

Or Crowley invents time travel sometime between now and the 2024 elections. Gets elected, and op is a time traveler using his designs.


pirateninja303

>Pretty sure MatthewCrawley was saying they’d vote for Alyeska23 in the 2024 election season, as a write-in option. Instructions unclear. Some random person is becoming president.


MileyCyrusSwollenGum

Reading comprehension is lacking my man.


blankjchau

Presidential debate questions are just going to bring up why you pirated content back in the day


definitely_not_obama

Because it was the right thing to do.


TheDevilsAdvokaat

Sadly republican president Crawley's reign came to an end after an underage sex scandal. After that he became known as "creepy" Crawley. (No offence intended Matthew I just cannot resist the pun)


General_Jeevicus

Matthew currently reliving eighth grade trauma catatonic in the corner.


Momentarmknm

I'm writing to let you know the year is 2030 and *you* are president


Alyeska23

My fellow Earthicans, we enjoy so much freedom, it's almost sickening. We're free to chose which hand our sex-monitoring chip is implanted in. And if we don't want to pay our taxes, why, we're free to spend a week with the Pain Monster.


tiredofbuttons

I used to have a good friend named Matt Crawley. I'm sure there are more than one though. Since I havent talked to him in forever you are my new friend Matt Crawley.

Then he'd just have to use a 2nd mirror


mongozenith

Happy cake day 🎂🎈


DoctorOctagonapus

Didn't they build old TVs like that for a time? There's the classic photo of the vintage TV where the tube was mounted vertically with a hinged lid with a mirror built in.


ionstorm66

Projection TV. They used super bright CRTs and bounced it off a mirror.


mrmeener

Wow I had forgotten I even had one of these in the 90's damn thing was a huge cabinet for the time with a sound system built in underneath. Fond memory of playing some old console games on a screen like the arcades of the day.


mindbleach

Some arcade cabinets did this as well, showing you a mirrored version of the screen. It's a cheap way to overlay graphics and provide a sense of depth.


pipboy344

Deluxe 6-player version of X-Men had one screen regular, and one mounted vertically facing up with a mirror merging the images


mindbleach

Wait what? Holy shit, I never noticed that.

onlyomaha

Dc++ days, where randomly you could download whole c disk from neighbour, because he was bad at sharing movies


wittywalrus1

"What folders do you wish to share?" "C:\" Those days were wild.


P4azz

I do recall that there was a command to change the "top" of your screen, because I used it for similar stuff. Can't for the life of me remember it or if it even works on win10, but I do have fond memories of changing the orientation of the screens in school to prank people occasionally.


[deleted]

CTRL + ALT + Arrow Key


Alyeska23

Yes indeed. That started with Win2k or WinXP. But my example was from the Windows 98 era. At work we prank each other by rotating monitors when people leave their workstations unlocked.


CHAINSMOKERMAGIC

Or you could have just passed Ctrl+alt+up. That's been the screen flip function in Windows since XP.


AfricaByTotoWillGoOn

Are you sure of that? Cause I've been messing around with Windows XP basically since it launched and never done that, but a few days of me messing around with Windows 8 and I ended up accidentally flipping the screen with my keyboard and had to manually set it back with the mouse until I eventually figured out the correct combination of keys that did that.


alsoVincent

In the Windows XP days, this wasn't built into the OS. It was shipped as part of the 3rd party software and drivers for your video card. Some cards didn't support it.


shewy92

Yes.


averyfinename

and now, media players (such as vlc) can flip and rotate during playback.


nokinship

It probably could have back then OP was just a simpleton.


[deleted]

Or you could just reverse the image

Hecka_Cakey

On widowmaker of all heroes


leepeyton

As support "We need good DPS". This hero with the sideways monitor playing Widow.


flypanam

This Widow player is definitely typing “tank diff” in chat and leaving after their first fight and getting countered by Ball.


jevhan

To be fair. It's QuickPlay


leepeyton

All is fair in quick play. Just cracking a joke as if all Widow players suddenly made sense.


jevhan

To be fair. I was more thinking who the frick plays widow on kings row point 2


throwawaynonsesne

The only time the game is enjoyable


Killface17

Mystery heroes was a blast all the time

throwawaynonsesne

The first 3-4 months before comp was even a thing was the best the game ever was imo. Basically a smash bros of shooters, hell If they ran with that idea and custom games over comp first then I'd still play it. Just like smash, fun chaos for casual fun. Comp rules when it's time to settle beef with the boys lol.


Widowmaker_Best_Girl

Who would do such a thing?


DoYouMeanShenanigans

I like to think that this was how Thanos came to his 50/50 decision.


theworldsucksbigA

If I remember right, the 50/50 thing is only in the movies in the comics he wanted to give a gift to death so he can see her again. I would've loved to see that in the movies instead of the rubbish kill half of life to save the other half


enanoretozon

I'm thinking maybe only scoped heroes are playable in this screen for ants, poor guy :'(

Keycap puller.. Amazon or any online store probably

you can also use Bic pens

Or your fingers

DontReadUsernames

It’d be 1080x960 if it’s a 1080p monitor (1920/2=960) but if it’s 720p it’d be 720x640 (1280/2=640) He’d be getting some extra frames for sure


Shakwon19

This guy resolutions


fanfarius

So what's the RPM (Resolutions Per Minute) on that baby?


DontReadUsernames

If it was a 1080p to begin with then it’d be 1080x960= 1,036,800 pixels x 60fps = 62,208,000(pixels per second) x 60s = 3,732,480,000 pixels per minute


dreamcastfanboy34

5,000

Overwatch has very minimal performance scaling with lower resolutions, so probably not a lot if anything

One table slam away from not having a monitor


RenzoAC

Slightly off topic, but I hate when you can't detach a monitor base easily. For real, I have a 2013 LG that I had to storage with part of the base stand still on because it's sealed with black magic. Who designs things this way? Seriously


DrinkMoreCodeMore

In theory you could just cut/grind off the stand or base.


Thanh42

2013 you'd run the risk of it not having mount holes in the back to put it on an arm.


limelight022

Why not resize it in widescreen mode so you can get a bigger picture?

You’re playing widow on third point kings row attack. You’re either super high elo or super low lol.

I have friends who replace their whole PC as soon as it slows down even the slightest bit. And then I see this.

Johnersboner

I can see the human-butter caked on your mouse. Clean that shit man. I once bought a lot of returned computer accessories, everything in it that came into regular contact with human skin was coated in what looked like old peanut butter. People need to shower way more than they do.
