          If you happen to run into a girl with the same frequency you would in some dating sims, they will think you are a stalker. But don’t worry, you just have to know how to load your earlier save file… You did create a save point, didn’t you?

        But it DOES improve computer performance. It’s the universal law of cupcake. ALL things are improved by delicious cupcakes. Oh look puppies, so cute, add cupcakes, even better. Fancy Italian dinner, delicious, throw in a cupcake, double delicious. Sexy girls kissing, who realistically doesn’t like that, add cupcakes, and you don’t even have to queue the cheesy cliché sexy time music. Cupcakes = winning

      They have no effect on computer performance; however, they do affect user performance, and user mood. Improved user mood will have the effect of making the computer APPEAR to run better, and thus further improving user satisfaction and mood. Before you know it, this cycle of user mood / apparent performance / cupcaky goodness will spiral upward into a greater sense of euphoria and accompany feelings of Nirvana, until the user actually passes into a greater state of being as an entity of pure joy.

      …now I want a cupcake, too.

          I’m willing to bet that the total RAM is 64 gigs, not a single stick of 64 gig. I’ve seen boards with 8 slots, and 8 sticks of 8 takes us to 64 quite nicely (I want to say I’ve encountered some 16’s as well, but that’s taking things a bit too far)

            laptop or desktop computer?
            desktop towers (ie not iMacs but instead Mac Pros; or equivalent machines) have proper-sized fans which allow for 32GB RAM cards and have 4-8 RAM card slots on-board (last I checked in early 2012; they hadn’t made a new mac tower in fivish years, just added better upgrade options)
            Laptops (ie MacBook Pros, or equivalent laptops) can on the fringe hold the 16GB RAM cards with 4(I think?) RAM card slots; I do not recommend sitting such a laptop on your lap, you will likely burn

              And I’ve just double checked those specs, they were the ‘official’ come in the box numbers for the Mac Pro (2009 high-end model), un-officially it can take 128 RAM with customization.
              The mac-boxes made since have the same max specs with less card slots to get there (refinement of the same computer rather than adding in any more excess; if they wanted they could double the RAM capacity by adding the option for 8 RAM card slots back in)
              Someday I will obtain a Mac Pro and it’s hardware will be more than I will ever need, at least until (screwy stuff like) quantum computers and computer-to-brain interfaces become commercial products

      It’s the other guy that’s weirding me out. His expression reminds me of Walky’s freaked-out-by-Dorothy expression. I’m assuming he’s lovestruck by Amber, but doesn’t know how to approach her, because he doesn’t have a toy monkeyape to throw at her head.

    Danny will find the one obscure food Amazi-Girl is allergic to, bake her cupcakes containing said food, and set off the smoke detectors in the community kitchen while making them. Then accompany Amazi-Girl to the ER because she ate the smoky burnt cupcakes to be nice and had an allergic reaction.

    I expect 70’s Superman comic-book-style hijinks! Amber and Danny eventually schedule a lunch meeting, on the same evening that Amazi-Girl and Danny have a date! Meanwhile, the Congresswoman is smashing up the campus! Will she choose boyfriend or battle? Romance or right? Justice or jayjayplaying? In next week’s thrilling Amazi-Girl — “A Date With Death”!

    (I wondered a while back if, since Amazi-Girl is now a slightly more conventional superhero, she has an archnemesis or supervillain. Sydney Yus seemed the most viable candidate. Faz came in at a close second.)
