You seem to be implying that my computer could handle HD very well.
It could not.

It was impossible for me to actually play my film in my video editor.  Instead, I had to first render the film and wait a very, very long time for that to be done and then I could play the file.
It was rough.

Wow, and I thought I had it rough. Did you get your computer with all the crazy ad monies you must get from YouTube? You must have millions of pennies.

My mum randomly got it for me out of nowhere.  She says she got a very good deal on it, though.

Is that why you had trouble playing a lot of Youtube vids in the past, Squid?

Indeed!

It had gotten to the point where many videos became almost completely unwatchable.  But now I can watch two films at a time in fullscreen with the dual screens.

I just watched several of Sonjira's films simultaneously, which was actually really fun.

Good for you Squid. Up until about a year and a half ago, I regularly wrangled with the old family iMac, sporting a massive 1 GB of RAM. The ramifications were cringeworthy. Then I got my paws on a cool cucumber laptop. My parental units still grapple with that iMac though, but nevertheless, it is a breath of fresh air to get a new computer, and I wish you well with yours.

Re: Café Corner

I keep getting advertisements for Asian dating sites.  I have no idea what I could have done to get those.  They also seem to think I'm over 30.

For a second, I thought you were talking about Squid's ad, which made me really confused as to what messages my film was sending.

Apparently they're based on your google search history... have you been having bowel trouble, Chris?

Also Ad Block is the way to go.

Most all of my search history involves gaming, ponies, and brickfilming.
How does that make it think I'm an over 30 year old man who wants to date Asian women?

I keep getting those Asian ads too.

Pretty weird seeing as I've only ordered 3 Asian mail order brides so far.

Re: Café Corner

My understanding is that dating sites are linked to the gaming sites since mostly young men are a part of those sites.  If your search history involves gaming, be prepared to see more and more of those ads.  It's a good idea to block the ads like Onion said, unless you are jstudios who seems to collect Asian brides. mini/lol

And most brickfilmers are single, so I guess it makes sense.

But Repelling Spider just got engaged, which makes me happy that there may actually be hope for the rest of us.
It feels too good to be true. :')
