I really like 2000. It's more lightweight then XP and bit more compatible win 9x games. Wait, seriously? I remember trying Windows 2000 Server for games, and the result is not too encouraging. However, it was 2000 Server, perhaps it required more tweaking to run games -Win9x or otherwise. How about …

As far as loudspeakers are concerned, I don't think I like the "British sound" too much. Yes, the mids are warm, but the highs are rolled off, while the midbass/lower midranges are over-emphasized (LF bump). Also, the mids sound boxy. I much prefer the open, boxless-sound of my NHT SuperZeroes. Not …

Shader this, DX that, and all they give you are different shades of grey. Fifty Shades of Duty: Modern Graphics. Sorry, but anything less that vibrant counts as 'under delivered' in my book.

Celtic Kings - The Pubic Wars. The Romans, the Gauls, the Iberians, and the Carthaginians battled each other in a brutal warfare where the combatants furiously and violently pulled out each other's pubic hair. Now talk about pain! Aieeee!

If only you can change two letters instead of one, then Total Air War would become Total Hair Wax, and that's where an F-22 and AWACS simulator become a pubic hair removal simulator.

Just curious - what do you think is the allure of retro computing? Just like tinkering? Maybe older systems gave you more control over things? Does it take you back to an earlier time in your life? All of the above? Building old computers to play old games with "maximum system requirements." …

Similar to my situation. My 8 years old fridge needed new gaskets. Nobody made them anymore, not even the manufacturer. Without it the fridge was useless and had to be replaced. So I bought an universal set of gaskets instead and made it fit my fridge. It works now. That's what you need to do with …

ASVS? The last post was 2020 though. Unfortunately I have never been a member. I was really into Star Wars vs Star Trek debates back then, although mostly as lurker (but hey, I had my share of fun!), and I heard ASVS was the place where people say 'fuck you' as casually as 'how are you'.

Ooh, I grabbed Red Faction at a huge discount some time ago too, but haven't gotten to play it yet.
