    i see the watermark but is this actually a generated image? I’m normally good at being able to tell. this image feels fine to me though? like the reflections on the light switch cover and on the picture frame feel natural. the keyboard looks correct. i guess the vents on the slightly stubbly crt are a bit wonky and the calendar can’t decide between 1998 and 1958 lol

      Check out the noise on the computer screen which magically disappears over the dialog box. Gotta say though, lighting and everything else looks dead on, just the details.

        it could be an error over an ATI tuner window, but they liked to show blue when there was no signal. The taskbar button for the window is really wide and that’s a sony trinitron tube with a namebadge that didn’t really exist back then

          I think I see what you mean now, it was worded confusingly. That taskbar button is too wide though.

        it’s messy AF, but lines up with 98 which it kinda looks like it was trying to print. I’m actually a little scared with this one, it’s a lot less obvious that previous generations.

        People mention the gun was wrong, but that’s outside my wheel house.

        The monitors badge is not any name that existed back then and they gave it a trinitron tube.

        The task bar button for the error window is WAY too wide.

            ahh crap, totally right. I was looking at it as a monday index for god knows why… it matches 99, but is def not 99 in display so the closeness is just by chance.

              Must be 1948, which makes sense because that was before restarting the computer was invented, so if it crashed the only option was to put it out of its misery and get a new one. They had them in vending machines for $3.50.
