Yeah but Ælfwine got there by accident, and wasn’t escorted by elves.

It’s neither, it’s the Will of Eru Illuvatar that determines whether you can travel the Straight Road or not. Ælfwine travelled the Straight Road and landed at Tol Eressëa in 869AD after fleeing the Danes, and he was a Man, not an Elf.
- Comment on Should we boycott games with loot boxes? 1 week ago:
I’m still waiting for a reliable way to pirate games with micro transactions and lootboxes.
Like, I know Assassin’s Creed Odyssey has daily quests and a rotating cash shop, and that must be talking to some sort of server that isn’t guaranteed to be there. Surely there’s a way to mock that server?

Why would you want to though? I can understand the retro market because there is software like games that either won’t run very well, or won’t run at all on modern hardware. I’m in the market for a ‘powerful’ machine circa 2003-2005 for that exact reason.
When it comes to machines made in 2015? I’m not sure there’s a lot you can run on those machines that you couldn’t on modern hardware, apart from Windows 11.
I guess you could use them for things like media servers, but it would have to be phenomenally cheap, as in cheaper than cheap modern hardware.
Personally, my rule is a 10 year gap is old, a 20 year gap is retro.

Trade it in to who? Who’s buying PCs that can’t be used? I mean there’s the retro market, but AFAIK they aren’t buying anything after Windows XP.
- Comment on Anon goes on a first date 2 months ago:
I mean… Did they not say what their hobbies were before they met? How do you go on a date with someone without knowing anything about them?
- Comment on Imperialism, authoritarianism and oppression is bad all around m'kay 4 months ago:
No no, you don’t understand. America bad, therefore anything against America is automatically good. It doesn’t matter who it is or what they do.
- Comment on Disposable vapes to be banned in England and Wales from June 5 months ago:
Disposable vapes are easier to hide from parents since you can just throw them away, and also you don’t have to worry too much if your teacher confiscates them because they’re disposable.
With a non-disposable vape, suddenly things become a lot harder for vaping teenagers.
I’m not suggesting we let teenagers vape, I’m just saying there’s a reason teenagers like the disposable ones.
