She looks good! I hope she treats you good too.

Did you manage to snag your GPU & RAM before prices went crazy?

Well, took a good while to get around rebuilding my system. Slight delay due to the Ryzen 7600 frying itself and then the whole mucking about with the warranty. Got it replaced under warranty with a 9600X, which I don't mind.
There was some talk that ASRock has had issues with frying AMD CPUs, but it's becoming more apparent that its really AMD who's at fault as the fried CPUs are starting to crop up on various motherboard manufacturers. This is purely an AM5 socket issue it seems, and even then heavily implied majority on the 9000 series, but with my fried one being a 7000 series, I have a feeling its really the whole AM5 production.

But anyways, got that fish tank made. Also upgraded to a 3-fan Sparkle Nox B580.
Also will be getting more fans for it, as when ordering fans I wasnt sure if I wanted 2 or 3x140s at the bottom, but when building decided I wanted 3, so side panel ended up with only a single fan, so looking bit weird.

Quote from: stewartsage on January 17, 2026, 10:09:52 PMYour coloring looks so good on all her different outfits!  The only SAGE-lineage -tan that got to do (fun) travel.  SABRE never dies, she just respawns.

Vietnam wasn't fun? Need the werewolf and golden retriever meme but it's SABRE-tan in her original form vs. today as a conglomeration of travel booking sites.


- Family beach day! I like to think that SAGE-chan and PDP-1-chan operate at overly clingy cat levels of "cannot leave Whirlwind alone for even a second"
- Whirlwind-chan charming her Auntie (?) EDVAC!
- This post is just baby Whirlwind. (Charming EDVAC worked.)


I watched Telezonia and instantly understood that I had to draw Plan 9-tan as the AT&T Sprite. (Featuring Unix-sama & Inferno-chan, who I decided to age up to her adult form because it's been long enough. ^_^; )

Featuring Plan 9-tan on her way to live another day in her fucking life...

How's that? I registered an extremely long time ago & then left for a long while, so I don't actually know what verification looks like now ... other than it's tighter because of spammers & other bad actors. (Unfortunately.)

At any rate, welcome! Please make yourself at home & feel free to post. The pace of the forum is slow but it's still active.

  • ENIAC: turning 80 years old
  • Bendix G-15: 70 y.o.
  • DOS/360 & OS/360: 60 y.o.
  • Cray 1: 50 y.o.

And Multics (60 y.o. as of 2025) as Father Time(sharing), ushering out the old year. . .

What a lineup!  Thirty years between ENIAC and Cray-1.  Ten between G-15 and the 360s...

Quote from: stewartsage on December 20, 2025, 05:58:58 PMYes, yes, VAX-tan.  You've heard my ideas about her, but I'll post them in my thread sometime soon.
>:3c

Quote from: stewartsage on December 20, 2025, 05:58:58 PMI love the family connection's you've drawn between the different groups!  Probably not a surprise that the LINC-line is my maybe my favorite, the green outfits with dark hair is very striking, as is -12's green eyes.  -10 looks like she stole that outfit off a Boston & Maine locomotive.  All the small blondes are very cute.

All the creamsicley PDP-8 related OSes have really nice color palette.  RAMP looks fantastic!  Good combination of PDP-8 as one mom and MTS as the other.
Thank you! It's no surprise you like the LINC line or PDP-8s (et. al.) PDP-10 looks like a B&M locomotive? For some reason I thought their color scheme was red.

Quote from: stewartsage on December 20, 2025, 05:58:58 PMGotta compress quite a bit into that frame. That's a good take for SCPSYS, really fits how she was designed.  I think I need to expand/spruce up her characterization tbh, I feel like I left it thinner than it should be.
Yes! I would love to see more SCPSYS characterization!

Bad or good time to mention that I can't stop thinking about WAITS x ITS?

Quote from: stewartsage on December 20, 2025, 05:58:58 PMTENEX's dual-tone hair is cool.  Honestly forgot MUMPS was a nurse.  Oh look, she's there to keep the saddest time-sharing OS from just falling over.  I like to think BBNTSS-tan is comparing herself to the rest with that side-eye.  DOS and RT-11 look like they're gonna beat me up.  RSX-11's coat and bell bottoms combo is baller.  I'm glad UNIX is miserable to be here.  Where on earth is there VAXELN information kept?  Is VMS here to take my order?  LOL.  ULTRIX very fluffy, very nice.
But you designed MUMPS-tan!!! All of the VAX gang look like they could be waiters, maƮtre d's, etc... you could say they're professional servers I'll see myself out.
