get the fuck out, normal fag

Buying a gaming PC and a 3Ds. If only I had known that suddenly gaming wouldn't interest me anymore...
At least I can quickly compile (and link) my C++ projects.

>>45321550
I bought a canon s200 as a travel camera that turned out to be a piece of shit that never works.

I bought an Xbox 360. What a fucking waste, every game it had was on PC anyways.

Breaking the screen on my Optimus G ... twice.
Whaddafuckup jeez.

buying a thinkpad

>>45321747
Oh wow I know this feeling all too well.

>bought a 955BE instead of a 2500K three years ago
>now I have to build a whole new computer because my 955 is going to bottleneck a GTX980

Technological regret = buyers remorse?

/g/ really has become a board about consumer electronics.

Bought a 650 ti in the box of a 650 ti oc, thinking it was the latter.

Should've just bought a 660

>>45321772
Just OC yourself. It's piss easy.

>>45321550

I bought a filthy Filco keyboard.

>>45321767
Seriously what the fuck happened here? The whole catalog is filled with consumer technology shit.

I've been away for a few weeks and I can't remember it being this bad.

I should have bought a an i5 instead of a 6300 and forgo the gpu until I had the funds to get one

I want a phone to:

- make calls
- send text messages
- browse the internet

A Samsung S3 does all of this and is cheap to fix.

Not doing any kind of programming on the 386 my family had when I was a kid.

Seriously, pre-internet, it felt like there was hardly anything to actually do on a computer. I would just click around Windows 3.1, opening applications, looking around them, then closing them again. For hours.

Paintbrush was about the only one I actually did anything in.

either Samsung Galaxy S4 or Thinkpad T410

>>45321972
>When the fuck was it ever /g/ - Programming?
When moot shut down /prog/.

>There's a text board for you nerds.
It doesn't exist anymore. /prog/ is kill, not that it was any good in the first place. But at least it contained the /pol/lacks. Now they're shitposting here instead.

Logitech G27 Racing Wheel

Even though I'm a hobby racer in Circuits like Nürburgring, Hockenheim and Go-Karts. I can't fucking control the fucking car in any videogame except WRC.

I realy hope the Occulus Rift will make it worth it again for some comfy Euro Truck Simulator. So far it was the most useless thing to waste 150€ on.

Bought 80€~ AKG headphones and an ASUS soundcard.

Returned both after 30 minutes of usage.

Buying HP Pavilion G6-2303sm

>>45322040
Holy fuck I'm in the same situation.
I want to get a G27 for ETS2 and Asetto Corsa, but I'm a poorfag.

Maybe you have to spend a little more time configuring the wheel?

I bought the first VAIO laptop with Blu-Ray that hit the market.
It costed me 1750€ and had a 9600M inside...

What a piece of shit laptop.

>selling my desktop PC
>buying an rMBP
Don't get me wrong the rMBP is top notch but it brings the kind of attention I don't want and isn't very practical.

>>45322060
I blame poor racing-wheel support man, I spend more time configuring games to have the perfect feel for it than actualy using it for gaming.

The hardware is amazing, but it's like sledge racing, you can't fucking control shit with it.
I bought WRC before I had the gear, and so far the controlls there are pretty solid, didn't even had to configure a thing, It's awesome.

Meanwhile GRID and NFS drive like you're on ice, fucking hell...
I don't have a seat aswell, so whenever I use too much force the fucking pedals move forward and get out of my reach, maybe I'll get one cheap to install it on.

>>45322069
>it brings the kind of attention I don't want
what attention do you get? Nobody gives a second look when I have my rMBP out. It's not like it's new technology.

Do you live in a place where Apple products are hard to afford?

prebuilt computer like 6 years ago, most components replaced up to date, i could have just not wasted all that money

I was 16 and wanted to blow out my first paycheck. I had a shitty PC that BSOD over 10 times a day. If I knew I could had made a decent rig back then.

>>45322088
Try putting heavy things in front of the pedal assembly, and maybe if you search around on forums and try other people's wheel settings it'll feel less slidey?

>>45321840
>behaviour
maybe you forgot you are not on reddit?

>>45322126
dont blame me i was under8

>>45322159
Tried other people wheel settings already, still has that shitty feel.

I'll try getting those rugs that are essentialy sold for pedals, maybe that helps me. Imagine playing this shit on polished wodden flooring... jesus

Large mid tower rather than a smaller form factor.

>>45322186
Yeah just get a small rug and you'll be alright.
I think I'm gonna save some cash and get a used g27. Hopefully I won't find ets2 to be as slidey as you say.

>>45322020
Oh god, once I was going to buy a netbook for $600 and they misheard and gave me a $700 one and I was too beta to say anything so I just paid $700.

On the bright side, I still have it and it still works.

>>45322357
You're fine as long your office/room does not has polished flooring, mine is polished wood so it's like having that shit on a oily brazilian milf, SLIDE HERE SLIDE THERE.

I got mine used and in perfect condition, chances are that 9 out of 10 times you'll get it in top condition because people buy this impulsively and stop using it after two or three gaming sessions.

The Porsche has style but the Mitsu is just sexy as hell, I have a fetish for the cracking it does.

The Porsche has 130.000KM, who the fuck would risk buying a premium car with so many KM? Chances are you'll have to pay half the price you paid for just for change parts.

I got it with 24.000KM and only changed the break-discs so far.
