I did fall asleep reading a particularly erotic chapter
in my grandmother's journal.

She wrote very detailed descriptions of her experiences...
Well it's about loving time someone new entered the console wars, it's been the same poo poo for twenty years now.

Fast food chain KFC is launching a gaming console that warms up chicken.



"The chicken chamber will keep its contents hot, ready for consumption during intense gaming sessions," KFC said.

The company said the console was designed by a global hardware maker and could play top-level games like other gaming machines.

KFC said its new console had a custom-built cooling system that uses heat produced by its components to warm the chicken chamber.

"This machine is capable of running games at top-level specs, all on top of keeping your meal warm for you to enjoy during your gaming experience... what's not to like?" KFC spokesman Mark Cheevers told the BBC.

"If Sony or Microsoft want any tips on how to engineer a chicken chamber for their efforts next time, they'd be welcome to get in touch."

The fast food chain said it currently had no details on the expected price of the gaming console or a release date.

God drat, so strange, I’ve always had this compulsory urge to put fried chicken in a gaming console, like since I was a child, and I never told anyone about it. It was just so strange to me, how the n64 slot seemed to be made to fit 7 burger kind chicken tenders perfectly. God how many times I just wanted to put chicken in there. I would salivate at the thought. Something inside me told me, don’t do this now, something better will come. Some day people will be able to roast a whole rotisserie chicken while they play video games, all in one unit. Do not put chicken tenders in this console, some day Boston market will have a state of the art all in one system, chicken and video games, together. And I would think of those snowy days, the deep reddish orange glow of chicken in the somber blue dusk light, the rotisserie door AUTOMATICALLY PAUSING THE GAME WHEN ITS OPEN (so thoughtful), and a sunfaded Ron popeil poster weeping in the heat, a reminder of an era of the past, when we had to go into another room to eat chicken. :gbsmith:

"using" waste heat inside the same closed system that is also generating it means that a volume of space is a kind of heatsink that by design becomes less and less effective the longer the system is running
this has gotta be a joke but i just dont know anymore

When you eat the chicken you permanently remove the heat from the system. It's genius.

Sep 26, 2005
but removing chicken only replaces the chicken with a a volume of air with no heat capacity and any surfaces that wouldve conducted heat to it remain the same temperature
you have to continually cycle cold cooked chicken into it to be warmed or youre only slowing the removal of heat from the system

its so dumb its gotta be real

Lol look at the graphics whore, so shallow. KFConsole isn't about bleeding-edge specs, it's about the disruptive innovation of its exclusive chicken chamber feature. You could say it's a total gamechanger.

if it went the retro console route it'd probably hold up a lot better for the length of time it would take for eating some console chicken to start sounding good

also be more honest in its advertising (it's literally promising "the latest titles in 4k"), but well, capitalism isn't about that

Most consoles can heat up chicken if you slice it thin enough. Or you know, just set the chicken on the console as it heats up.

And you can sear a steak with a car cigarette lighter but that's not what it's for. This has a designated chicken chamber ingeniously manufactured into the body of the computer. I'm sorry but do we live in a world so full of technological wonders that this is barely impressive to you?

I think when we approach modern quantum computing and the elusive super state we have to also consider a quantum pure state, that can be achieved in multiple ways in a solving processor. The function of the superstate is not to render a memory image of the path of least electronic resistance, but to perform a qualitative analysis of multiple approaches to a baffle and mitigate arc potential with novel forms as the electron approaches a ground state. A pure state can be achieved in multiple forms in complex and compound calculations, and the superstate’s purpose is not to produce chaotic or random results that approach a decimated exponent that renders a near approximation of a solution, but to facilitate simultaneous non-volatile descriptors in whole number values that project a fractal integral onto potential baffle limits in proportionate and complementary geometries of the exact sum. :thunk:
