Re: What game are you playing now?

Well, I completed the 5th and final, for real this time, episode of Heretic. I enjoyed it well enough. Those first 2 levels of Episode 4 and 5 were an incredibly steep hill to climb, and actually quite enjoyable. But after that things get back to "normal". Maybe I'm just easy to please. I never …

Well, I wrapped up Heretic Episode 3, which I largely consider to be "completing" Heretic since Episodes 4 and 5 were kind of a retail only soft expansion. My Trophy 20220106_Heretic_f.jpg I did start Episode 4 however, and wow does it ever come out the gate swinging. A room full of Iron Liches on …

Generally not. I try to play games to completion, and frequently, if I take too long of a break, I have to start over anyways because I need to rehone my skills and/or I don't remember where I was and/or I just want to have a more contiguous experience. Once upon a time I obsessively kept my saves …

Well, I wasn't expecting it to go that quickly. Zork Grand Inquisitor Trophy 20211213_Zork_GI_c.jpg Took me about one and a half evenings. Turns out I remember absolutely every puzzle solution from the first and last time I played it back when it first came out. Kind of a let down. I got very nearly …

So I finally found the time to beat Jagged Alliance Trophy Screen 20211212_Jagged_Alliance_d.jpg I ended up rolling back from when Brenda was captured, and instead mounting an amphibious assault on the sector the attack which took her had come from. Cleaned out the very heavily guarded sector, and …

That 16/32-bit issue with 3d acceleration I think was a generalized Win95 thing. I recall GLQuake said in a readme to make sure your desktop was set to 16-bit color in Win95? I'm assuming it was a limitation of the OS that 3D acceleration would natively try to run at the bit depth of the desktop. So …

I recently finished streaming Shogo, I made a lot of highlights this time since I decided it was worth the hassle dealing with Twitch's video highlighter. "I have my orders, Sir! Please be nice to me! I show off how to gain access to Sanjuro's footlocker here. And also I don't forget to show off …

These projects suffer from very low number of contributors. I'm surprised PCem even lasted that long. I don't really want any new features , I would be happy if the goal of 86Box was just to fix all the bugs reported in Github (and there aren't that many in comparison to e.g dosbox-x). People have …

What is the pci latency patch? A driver? A utility? Bios update? Hardware mod? It's a Win9X "driver". Pretty sure it's just a small VXD that checks what chipset you are using, and writes values into memory to overwrite BIOS settings to fix a PCI bug in many VIA chipsets. You know, circling back to …

I don't know, I have 1 MVP3 and 1 MVP4 motherboard, and aside from the MVP3 one not having enough juice for AGP cards beyond 1998 or thereabouts they are perfectly stable. Mine was perfectly stable until I installed an Ethernet card, I tried multiple different brands and either it wouldn’t install …
