Last post by Chocofreak13 - June 06, 2025, 09:42:17 AMlate to this, but duuuuude, you bought a house!? cool!!
hope all your homeowner-based dreams come true. i forget, are you outside of the US? cause i mean, buying a house is already like, "woah that's a lot of money", but the US lately has been INSANE in terms of CoL...
like i was browsing apartments last week and in my area it's over $1600 for a studio.
to think, at one point my dad thought they went for $400/mo....this was pre-insane-inflation but they still cost like, $950 and up at that point lol

I'll do a write up later but have an improved ENIAC-tan concept.
Cool this OS-Tan is doll-like could you explain why this OS-Tan is doll-like? I think this is awesome.

Cat sized glasses. Like SAGE-tan, the glasses are one of the two distinctive visual features by which I recognize Whirlwind-tan. (Like SAGE-tan, the other is the hair ribbon. ;3)
Quote from: stewartsage on June 03, 2025, 09:13:59 PMMmmm, her as a doll is fitting what with the "primitive" nature of ENIAC as still being tube based and fairly simple. Much larger scale than GENIAC though, fittingly. The button panels are a fitting detail. Invasive.The doll-like nature of ENIAC-tan could - probably should - be an allusion to ENIAC's relative simplicity, but I also chose it (at Halian's suggestion) to hint at something otherworldly or transcendental about ENIAC-tan. A play both on the revolutionary and one-of-a-kind status of ENIAC, and the walled garden in which it resided (and the proprietary philosophy that it might have passed down if fate hadn't intervened).

Obsessed with PDP-8-tan and Selectric-kun overcoming a decade of DEC-IBM enmity through the power of "it would be fun". But where is LINC-tan in all this? :O

Last post by stewartsage - June 03, 2025, 09:18:02 PMQuote from: Bella on June 01, 2025, 08:46:09 PMHonestly ... I would be game if I had ideas. Most of what I know about Windows 11 centers on tightened security, reduced user customization, recording everything the user does, and AI integration, which I feel like you could spin into OS-tan design concepts. (Right off the bat I see her as a dominant and surveilling type. Yandere anyone?) I don't know I want to give myself a headache figuring out how generative AI maps into OS-tan terms though.You know more than I do, but yandere definitely fits that description well.
Quote from: Bella on June 01, 2025, 08:46:09 PMI wouldn't mind taking a stab at post-Mavericks Mac OS X releases. I feel a bit bad saying it but a lot of the newer OS X releases have run together in my mind. I've thought making one encompassing Mac OS X-tan to cover the ARM releases, though I realize that's very against tradition.Once I stopped using it I totally lost track. Although now that we've had an up-close encounter with ARM history maybe...
