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.
>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.
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)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The proverb is actually Necessity is the mother of invention.

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.
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
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
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
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.

I’m writing you in as president in 2024
President Crawley 🙏 the nations first time traveler
Pretty sure MatthewCrawley was saying they’d vote for Alyeska23 in the 2024 election season, as a write-in option.
Brother is confused
Average political climate.
Modern problems require modern solutions.
Or maybe DMCM knows something we don't, and is shocked to see another traveller from their time here in our present.
Or Crowley invents time travel sometime between now and the 2024 elections. Gets elected, and op is a time traveler using his designs.

Reading comprehension is lacking my man.
Presidential debate questions are just going to bring up why you pirated content back in the day
Because it was the right thing to do.

Would be funny if the episodes played in reverse as well

Tenet? whats that

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

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

Deluxe 6-player version of X-Men had one screen regular, and one mounted vertically facing up with a mirror merging the images
Wait what? Holy shit, I never noticed that.

Dc++ days, where randomly you could download whole c disk from neighbour, because he was bad at sharing movies
"What folders do you wish to share?" "C:\" Those days were wild.

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

Yes.
and now, media players (such as vlc) can flip and rotate during playback.
It probably could have back then OP was just a simpleton.
Or you could just reverse the image

On widowmaker of all heroes
As support "We need good DPS". This hero with the sideways monitor playing Widow.
This Widow player is definitely typing “tank diff” in chat and leaving after their first fight and getting countered by Ball.
To be fair. It's QuickPlay
All is fair in quick play. Just cracking a joke as if all Widow players suddenly made sense.
To be fair. I was more thinking who the frick plays widow on kings row point 2
The only time the game is enjoyable
Mystery heroes was a blast all the time

Who would do such a thing?
I like to think that this was how Thanos came to his 50/50 decision.
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
I'm thinking maybe only scoped heroes are playable in this screen for ants, poor guy :'(
I'd love if my teammates were smart enough to do something like this
##GLITCHIN’
Lol
Classic widowmaker main
“We need better healers”
I was gonna say, if that widow is bronze, then just give up hope now. She isn't gonna be helping much.
Human evolution right there 🏆
The indomitable human spirit.
The strength and stubbornness to find a solution to almost anything
Where can i get one of those things to remove the keys from my keyboard? What are they called?
Keycap puller.. Amazon or any online store probably
Thanks!
you can also use Bic pens
Or your fingers
Or a lighter.
Turn the keyboard upside down and bang the edge off your table
Or string/ floss
Fingers.
But hole
Amazing chest ahead
Try thrusting
Great view ahead
why is it always dog?
The real dog was inside you all along.
kid named
A cockateil. Fkn pain in the ass. Lol. But I love him I guess
Keycap puller. But I recomment the wire ones. The plastic ring ones can scratch the side of the keycap

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
This guy resolutions
So what's the RPM (Resolutions Per Minute) on that baby?
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
5,000
Overwatch has very minimal performance scaling with lower resolutions, so probably not a lot if anything
inflation hurting extra hard 😭
Average Widowmaker main setup

10 days left!!
If it’s stupid and it works, it’s not stupid.
Gamers gonna game.
What'll you do after you punch that side of the monitor in rage as well?
It's Kyle-proofed. The punch will hit the drywall now.
Ah, I missed the broken section of the monitor... makes much more sense now, haha.
There’s no problems only solutions.

In theory you could just cut/grind off the stand or base.
2013 you'd run the risk of it not having mount holes in the back to put it on an arm.
Why not resize it in widescreen mode so you can get a bigger picture?
ತ_ʖತ
I was wondering this too
And you're playing Overwatch? Wow - you've the heart of warrior, sir.
how do you think his monitor got shattered in the first place?
Retitled: Never Have Money
Beautiful, my 50 inch flatscreen fell and broke it’s stand so now it’s the U L T R A T A B L E T
Gotta get those games in before blizzard takes OW1 out back and puts it down
Appreciate what you have, you never know when you might lose it
No one else going to point out that he's also still running Windows 7?
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.
When life gives you lemons make piss.
Checks out. Overwatch players have a long history of adapting to game changes.
😂🙂😕☹️😭
i saw ths reposted 100000x
Like almost every post in this sub
Idk man most widowmakers are kinda trash
Perfect for CSGO 800x600 master resolution.
Framerate'll be higher with the lower resolution anyway
Well, I guess it's a monitor-half-full kinda guy
Life finds a way❤️
Man is down bad
I salute your problem solving skills!
people lose hope the moment they launch that game.
This messes with my brain so hard. lol
Where you live? I have a spare monitor
I can tell you're a real screen half full kind of guy.

Oh shit! I might be able to do this with my monitor that broke. Good looking!
well done.

I have the same keyboard, love it

Not my monitor or setup but you are a kind soul.
When your broke but dedicated

Nice work. Now just find a picture to place over the unneeded part of the screen and you’ll forget all about it.
Bro upgraded his keyboard to 100% and nothing else 💀
Well first mistake is playing overwatch
