I could restore their posts by hand since I do database backups nearly every first daily visit, but that'd be too troubling. And if it's about a personal information panic, editing posts out won't help as the database bizarrely stores into the data of each post (which end up being unused).

I should mention I had to impose edit times on my own board for years because there would be some contributors that would suddenly mass blank their posts for inexplicable reasons. All I could do is just humiliate them with a custom title, like "HAHA I BLANKED MY POSTS!!! THATLL SHOW THAT GAME'S …

I don't expect any trouble with Q3. 1.32 should work fine. Blind advice about source ports don't realize they won't work in Win98 (mainly because of some unix/gcc/sdl2 cruft reasons which could've been avoided with basic competence)

Half-Life through PCem v13 from start to finish. I did finish it earlier but forgot to post about it (and I did finish it nearly 2 decades prior so). I wanted to play through it again with scary low framerates 😀

Yes though i haven't tried any of the soundscape emulation stuff yet, i'm not certain if the drivers i've tried support that. I mostly tried the 2000-2002 creative drivers There's even the bug with Epic's dos pcm-playing games that also shows the same difference using the later WDM driver.
