You don't seem too comfortable with computers yourself there Harry - I'd suggest getting your mother an iPad. My mother loves hers.

A Gothic II mod? Yes it's technically a mod, but actually it's a complete game using the Gothic II engine. I like the setting, the story, the characters, the combat, and the exploration. Here's my post about it from a while back: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=1129375#p1129375 The controls …

What's perverse is encroaching on the natural rights of hundreds of millions of people in an effort to assuage the suffering of a tiny handful. When the "natural right" in question is owning an assault rifle then yes, those millions should gladly give up that right for the greater good. Reducing …

That's honestly a response perfectly emblematic of that side. Rather than attempt to debunk my statements as untrue, all you do is express indignation that I won't bend the knee to the touchy-feelies. So the number of children being killed in American schools by gun violence needs to hit a certain …

Do you recommend Unisound or should I stick to the Yamaha drivers? Something I've noticed with Unisound is that it doesn't set the mixer in a way that allows games that manipulate the mixer for fake-stereo (like Wolf3d) to work. A fix for this mixer 'bug' is described here , but this is assumes the …

I used to have 5+ retro machines built but over the years I've fine tuned that down to 1 socket 7 machine that I love, so yes I have duplicate motherboards for that (and all of the other bits). I've spent years perfecting this build and if something goes wrong I want to be able to replace it and get …

The main pattern I've noticed over the last few years is that Christmas holidays is the only time of year I can really give myself over to a game, and it's usually an old open world RPG. The rest of the year is hectic and tiring and stressful so I just don't have the energy or imagination left at …

The X2GS replaced all of my GM gear but I do sometimes regret selling my Yamaha DB50XG - that had quite a different sound to the Roland stuff, and sounded really nice with guitar heavy rock tracks.
