Anyone here happens to know how to get The Journeyman Project 3: Legacy of Time running on modern hardware from CD?

@jalcine going to the link posted there gives me a blank page, so that's odd

Debating just getting an enclosure for the hard drive and scrap or donate the rest of the computer

I've been at it and I'm not quite sure what I'm doing but it's a learning experience

Been spending all day trying to get an old computer from the late 90s running. I cleaned it up as best as I could, recovered as many components as I could and... It turns on! But it doesn't boot into windows nor produce any kind of video or audio output.

So now I'm thinking of what to do.

If any of you get sent a link to a TankosMania game, DON'T DOWNLOAD IT

I might've been hacked so be wary of anything I might send you here or anywhere else you may know me for the time being.

"firefox only has a 3% market share"

bruh that's 150 million people

Sounds about right for modern printer companies these days... xD

I drew the cover art for this month's issue of Pico-View (a webzine for #pico8 devs and fans)! I made it in my pico-8 drawing app and recorded a timelapse of the process.

gettin ready to fix and/or eat a computer

One of the creepier tech-related incidents I remember was many years ago when I wanted the Sam's Photofacts (a third-party creator of device specs and schematics, etc.) for a very old portable TV. Way out of date, but I was trying to help someone with it.

I mentioned to a friend that I was looking for old Photofacts, but I did not say anything about the TV. He scribbled an address on a scrap of paper, an address locally here in L.A. "Try him," he muttered.

I drive over. It's a small unmarked storefront. I go in, the bell on the door rings. Sitting inside, like the caterpillar in "Alice in Wonderland", is this little guy perched on a stool, with immense stacks of paper surrounding him everywhere. Total mayhem.

I walk up to him -- knowing that this was a waste of time and really wanting to get out of there -- and asked if he had the Sam's Photofacts for that specific very old TV model.

Without saying a word, he reached over to the pile of papers right next to him, took the TOP item off the pile, and silently handed it to me. It was the ancient one I needed. Stunned, I paid him the amount marked on the item, and left with it, not completely sure what had just happened.

When I drove by there a month later that storefront was something else entirely. He was gone.
