You should play Phantasy Star.

I'm in the process of playing PS1 in the form of a quality-of-life improvement ROM hack and am having a (mostly) enjoyable time! The JRPG battles are pretty simple, the story is interesting, and the music is pretty good!

I'm looking forward to trying Phantasy Star 2 through 4!!

my laptop seems to output a higher power signal if i tell it that i have plugged "headphone" instead of "headset"

text rendering i like:
- printed text on non-glossy paper. the ink expands in a nice way. bold and comfy
- mac os
- windows before cleartype, displayed on a low-ish resolution monitor (let's say 9x on a 800x600 or 1024x768). no antialiasing. raster fonts. visible pixels. simultaneously chunky and precise. any blurriness you saw was on the rightmost side of the glyph, and was caused by inadequate shielding in your vga cable

retrocomputing, heads up about a bad vendor 

turns out one Apple II vendor, ReActiveMicro, apparently bans people from buying from them, and shares that ban with other vendors, for “wokeness”: https://www.reactivemicro.com/terms-and-conditions/

You can and WILL be blacklisted from all purchasing privileges in perpetuity for any of the following:

  • Public postings, comments, declarations, targeting, or encouraging of; libel, slander, defamation, mockery, accusations, attacks, disrespect, discrediting, nonfactual information, wokeness/canceling and/or threats against any or all; members of the Community, RM customers, or personnel

I may have just sent an e-mail to their snitch line sales e-mail specifically asking to be added to the list
