Yeah please go ahead. I especially despise the Free to Play market. Nothing is free. You pay with your soul.
Reasons to hate modern games

I think this is reason enough. A 105 gb download is stupid. Filename IMG_20220618_193534__01.jpg File size 1.85 MiB Views 2799 views

Railroad Tycoon (original), period. I had played Super Mario Bros. on Nintendo FamiCom/NES and ported Castlevania and Double Dragon II: The Revenge at my friends' places (didn't know they were poorly ported until many, many years later) but I was not good nor into side-scrolling platformers or beat …
The moment you were hooked
Posted on 2022-06-16, 16:17
I was wondering if you have a defining moment where you fell in love with pc gaming. Mine was definitely the demo of tomb raider 1 from the cd of Swedish PC gamer back in 1996 ish. I played it so many times but never understood how to move any blocks. Demo games back in the day were often sparsely …

get a cheap 60 > 80mm fan adapter and use any old quiet 80mm case fan. the funnel type adapters work great. i actually went from 80 > 92mm with a thermostatically controlled fan on my rig. fan spins at 500rpm most of the time. dead silent. edit: on second look that appears to be an 80mm fan to me …

I think you have a virus (called Windows Me). 😉

If I remember correctly it was a regedit key that needed modification. Not overly complicated but I was not convinced it is limited to this text string so I went the long route and reinstalled and went back a version on nusb. As someone explained nusb is somehow extracted from Windows Me.
Memorable game mods
Posted on 2022-06-09, 19:24
I was wondering if you remember playing any game mods for old games. I remember I enjoyed a multiplayer mod for aliens versus predator 1, it was not perfect but I always loved campaign coop. I don't remember what it was called. Quake 1 had a lot of mods, one weird one I remember was Quake rally.

The windows me bug is related to nusb. There is a forum post somewhere on how change it back to windows 98. Or you can install an earlier version of nusb that does not have this problem.

Not mine, but this was quite funny, but a little more than just a map: https://youtu.be/WTZ23Yls6_g 😁

Yeah I agree the graphic style was worse, and probably did not age very well, but it had more interesting gameplay. From what I can remember it has zombies instead of people though. 😮

Re: AWE 64 Gold (VERY low CD-Audio volume)

Don't forget the simplest stuff, check that the connectors are clean and the wire is ok. Seems odd that only cd sound is affected. I guess the mixing is done within one of the chips and it could potentially be bad..?

Nice, I've been meaning to revisit this title, that I picked up when it was given away for free at Steam during a period after the sad departure of David Bowie.

I actually prefer a good rubber, but here are terrible ones. Regarding bots, I put the blame on auction sites not to prevent it. It is probably very hard to get rid of the buy-cheap-sell-expensive-people except to stop buying from them. Had me thinking of apple prices. https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/ …

Only thing I can see is one slightly bent pin on the isa slot. Probably nothing.

I'm seriously worried people here are wearing their IBM model M's out whilst complaining on the prices of them.

Does making skins count? I made a nude skin for the game Sin when I was 14. My father was not pleased. 🙁
