I feel like something is wrong and/or missing… I just can’t put my finger on it

Maybe the kbm and display, but it is all I have
pezezin@reddit
You are missing half the keyboard, of course you can't put your fingers on it.
aroneox@reddit
Be kind to OP. The layout says he only has six fingers.
GreatCalligrapher993@reddit (OP)
I have five on each hand :sob;
aroneox@reddit
Not to alarm you, but legally 60% keyboards are to be used by those with 60% hands. So, either a bigger keyboard, or hand reduction surgery looks to be in your future.
Far_Relationship_742@reddit
What if he has six fingers on one hand and four on the other and he promises only to type with the left?
aroneox@reddit
We will take this up with the Reactor Falls guidance board at the next council meeting.

Time for an amputation
Far_Relationship_742@reddit
Is it the retro?
Accurate-Campaign821@reddit
Speakers?
GreatCalligrapher993@reddit (OP)
Speakers unfortunately do not work on this setup
Accurate-Campaign821@reddit
Clip on speakers haha
GreatCalligrapher993@reddit (OP)
true… I would add some fake speakers I have, they don’t match the color for one and I am using them on my iPod nano 2.
red-bit@reddit
You use an ipod nano 2? Get/make a dock for it and add it to your build. I think it would add to the flair.

A Core system? I wouldn't really consider this retro in my opinion.
bushnrvn@reddit
Rules say 20 years, Core came out in 2006, but I would say in this case, the software sticker dates this computer to after the 2009 release of Windows 7.
So, yes, not retro by the subs rules - but for a different reason :) .
GreatCalligrapher993@reddit (OP)
I think it is from 2010
TheKlaxMaster@reddit
Would you call a 16 year old teenager old and retro?
GreatCalligrapher993@reddit (OP)
bro I am younger than you :sob:
TheKlaxMaster@reddit
I actually didn't accuse you of being any specific age, nor reveal mine.
I just asked if you would call a 16 year old teenager old retro or old.
GreatCalligrapher993@reddit (OP)
I was messing with ya m8 :3c
Gammarevived@reddit
So yeah old, but not really retro yet.
GreatCalligrapher993@reddit (OP)
oof, :p apparently I didn’t see that when I was reading the rules, sorry
GreatCalligrapher993@reddit (OP)
I know :sob: it’s the oldest system I have. It does run Windows 98 tho
GreatCalligrapher993@reddit (OP)
It runs Windows 98 SE
ultrafop@reddit
I don’t think this hardware counts as retro but win9x certainly does. What games are you playing?
GreatCalligrapher993@reddit (OP)
ClassiCube and Half Life, some Doom 1 and 2
ultrafop@reddit
Very nice. Good stuff. I think the build trinity and some CnC/Warcraft games would also be mint
iwantmisty@reddit
Convenience?
GreatCalligrapher993@reddit (OP)
maybe…
IWantToBeRichForReal@reddit
Retro/cult ≠ 2006 crap
Talismook@reddit
You can't pretend this campy thing isn't peak.
ChocolateNachos@reddit
A larger desk and non-gaming mouse/kbd would go a long way.
GreatCalligrapher993@reddit (OP)
I would use a different keyboard and mouse but unfortunately it’s the only kbm I have
ChocolateNachos@reddit
You can get used keyboards and mice at a lot of thrift stores on the cheap, under $20 all said and done. Cleaning them up is basically free.
Fragholio@reddit
Cupholder.
GreatCalligrapher993@reddit (OP)
Actually… I agree
