It's an extremely low chance random encounter, like the aliens and the Used Car Salesman that has the very OP Christmas Story BB Gun. I had the aliens encounter but never got the Tardis one despite two playthroughs. Interesting. Just wait until you find the redshirts in Fallout 2. The Whats?

The amazon show gave me a reason to play through Fallout 1/2/NV, so I've been doing that as of recent. Luckily, there's a project called Community Edition nowadays which let me play it natively on my Apple Silicon Macbook. Screenshot 2024-04-14 at 9.49.45 PM.png What version of Fallout 1 has a …

It's true. The right strategy remains to be defined. However, spending more (+10€ on GS version) to contribute to your efforts seems justified to me. The +10€ on the GS version would support not me but Serdashop, Dream and Roland. ;) Actually the GS version wouldn't be any more legitimate to use …

My daughter and I finished Alba: A Wildlife Adventure over the course of a few weekends, and I must say it is an amazing game to play with your little ones if you want to introduce them to free roam adventure games.

So here's something that's not possible on the PicoGUS 2.0 card, but is on the 1.x cards as well as the Femto: WiFi. Thanks to yyzkevin again, NE2000 emulation is working on the PicoGUS with a Pico-W. It'll still be a while before it's polished: it'll need support from pgusinit to set the SSID and …

It’d be interesting conceptually to do an actual simulation of the beam, glass and shadow mask. Not for any actual practical use or purpose, but just as a fun simulation to make, especially if you tried to go really far on the physics accuracy. Raytracing!! 😃 For such things, vector calculations …

I'll go out on a limb and say you are trying to use it as a SB16 instead of an SB Pro.. No, I wish it was that simple... I am selecting SB Pro from the menu... but the same is happening when I use the GUS, so the problem seems to be elsewhere (?) What is your SET BLASTER line in AUTOEXEC.BAT? If it …

Felt like continuing with scifi shooters after Unreal II so hopped on Red Faction . Haven't played that one yet, but I did watch Digital Foundry's video on it. The destructible environment thing looks amazing, especially considering when Red Faction originally came out. If you haven't played Red …

Can it actually send to or receive from real MIDI devices through Wine? If it can, that would be amazing. I don't have any such devices anymore, but I don't see why it can't. Last time I tried something like that was 10 years ago, running a Windows DAW (Reaper) on Linux with Wine and using a MIDI …
