Nope, no sticker. It looks like the end user can open the mouse by design though... Are these mice special or interesting or something?

Oh ok! Never heard of that. Here is the rest of the mouse. No PC included sadly...
What mouse connection is this?

I bought a bunch of stuff on a local advert and I thought it would be a serial mouse but when I went to pick the mouse it has a connector I didn't recognise.
Re: Just saw this about 3DFX this morning
Posted on 2021-07-31, 10:18
Yeah I can't see it happening. And I'm not sure why they (Nvidia) would bring back 3DFX - the people who would be excited about it as a brand are going to have unreasonable expectations as nostalgia has warped their memories of (later) 3DFX. I would suggest the majority of gamers in 2021 are going …

I've always liked the W124 Mercedes and keep toying with the idea of a coupé petrol (see above!) later model. I'm already fighting a losing battle with rust on my much younger current car so I'm not sure I'd want to take on an even bigger battle. Something like this . I have a habit of liking a car, …

Nice Alfas! I've been considering a 159 for my next 'fun' car for ages. Interesting that they're diesel. In the UK we went diesel crazy in 2005 to 2015 but have now shifted back to petrol. But car enthusiasts generally didn't like diesel throughout this time anyway! It would be highly unusual to see …
Re: Games that you remember the most from 1990's thru mid 2000's
Posted on 2021-07-28, 23:27
The games that stick out in my memory are... Driver. Not the first game I played at all, but the first game I remember actually wanting. I saw it in a magazine, a single tiny screenshot of a car doing a rad jump in a foggy San Francisco and wanted it! And it was great and I had loads of hours of …

Midtown madness for me. What made it believable for me was that cars sped up on the freeways and tried to obey traffic laws. I must have spent much more time just driving around than actually racing, as a car obsessed 10 year old.

I got my wheels refurbished and the non-OEM wings (i.e. cheap) put on and painted on my old BMW.

Not sure about the British, but in the case of Japan (which is also a left-driving country), I remember reading somewhere that it was because most samurai in ancient times were right-handed and therefore had their swords sheathed on the left side of their belts, so they walked on the left side to …

I dislike the British for driving on the wrong side of the street and using outdated measuring system and spreading those all over the world. But they have TopGear! 😃 Doesn't that make up for that? Hm? Had. America/Amazon now has the actual TopGear crew. They feel very past it now though. I can …
Re: What game are you playing now?
Posted on 2021-07-20, 20:41
I have just started Dark Souls (remastered) for the first time. Mostly because it will run on my laptop and my laptop can go into the air conditioned bedroom where my PC can't! I wonder how long i will last before I get fed up.
Re: What do you think about Steam Deck handheld PC ?
Posted on 2021-07-20, 13:08
I think it will just be too slow to meet people's expectations. I've had a few low watt netbook things and they're never as fast as you think. 15watts for the entire device just cant be enough to play AAA games well at 720p. (People are moaning that it won't have capacity to install the 100GB AAA …
Re: What modern activity did you get up to today?

I built a little gaming machine for my retro desk as I have zero retro gaming urge at the moment. I bought a H85 motherboard for £35 and a Haswell Xeon 1220V3 (which is a 3.1GHz i5 with 8mb of cache) for £21. I had enough DDR3 RAM lying around and I'm reusing my 1070ti because gone are the days …

Here are some more examples... Some (deserved) memes about the football but the comments quickly get... Nasty? I don't think these people are joking about not liking the English outside of football... https://imgur.com/gallery/9TJtYvh https://imgur.com/gallery/z5OVhmm https://imgur.com/gallery/ …

Hell no! I will be forever grateful to Britain for the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (and for giving birth to the genre in general), and also you invented football! And Sir Isaac Newton! So many great things/people come from there... I think some people harbor resentment for the imperialism/ …

NO! Why do you need to ask that question on vogons at all? As hopefully a counterpoint to the other websites I go to which tend to have younger, mostly USA based users. I couldn't sleep this morning (for whatever reason) and was looking at memes and came across the football ones with more general " …

I don't think anyone has any particular dislike towards England, but many people were very annoyed in them advancing to the finals thanks to a 99% fake penalty on their "world-class" diver Sterling. So those people are very happy to gloat now. I'm not particularly into football but those that are …
Do you dislike the British?
Posted on 2021-07-12, 06:03
Or probably more specifically, the English? From the websites that I peruse I am noticing quite a bit of anti-English sentiment and I am wondering if its something I've just been oblivious to or if people are starting to dislike (or be vocal in their dislike of) the English? Or it is just a few edgy …
