having a nice chill-out to the music from Sega Swirl on Dreamcast. It's got a latter-day Weather Channel feel to it, more emphasis on live instruments than a lot of WC-esque music tends to give. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTp3G21vS6M

Okay, now we're talking. Far from being done, but talking. This thing is animated. I'd better record a video tour later.

Just received an e-mail from YouTube about this new "automatic dubbing" feature. I've seen how crappy it can be so I'm turning it off for my channel.
Posting this just in case I save some other channel out there!

Australians, please raid your Uncle's old PC in his shed, and help me find a copy of this to archive.

The humble tomato sandwich has once again come in clutch. It has not fixed *everything* wrong with me today but it has at least covered my base needs.
Now what the hell do I immerse myself in, so as to forget the rest of the problems?
The person, not the cat. Though I imagine cats would direct good films.
I feel like I only post here when I'm upset about things and I really need to break that. What have I got that's uplifting?
...Maybe a picture of someone's cat. I have forgotten the name of the person who had this cat. I was taking a film class with them.
I should eat something. I don't want to get out of the chair or decide what to eat, though. We have tons of leftovers and I want none of them. I do not know what I want instead.
My day started with us attempting to partially disassemble a NordicTrack treadmill to, ideally, sell off to another family we know. Unfortunately, we failed to get it out the door; just too bulky and too many things failing. So the choice was made to give up and "sell it with the house."
I don't think that's why I feel so exhausted, though. Physically, I'm tired, but spiritually and emotionally too. Mentally, my batteries are buzzing and need to be spent a bit. I'm out of sync with myself.

⚠️ Call to action: Use your retro IBM-compatible PCs to help the MegaZeux DOS port! ⚠️
In the late 90s/early 00s, MegaZeux introduced a mode called "Super MegaZeux": using an undefined behaviour of enabling 256-color VGA mode in text mode, it allowed the use of 256 colors on some graphics chipsets.
We'd like to know which graphics chipsets these are. Legacy compatibility lists are very limited and of poor quality, so we're building a new one. Here's how you can help:
1. Get your retro PCs out. The only requirement is a VGA-compatible graphics chipset; any 8086+ laptops and desktops are supported otherwise.
2. Download and run SMZXTEST.EXE from https://asie.pl/files/smzxtest.zip
3. Take a photo of the screen! (If you want, take another photo after pressing A to see if an alternate undefined mode works better on your machine.)
4. Reply with the photos and a description of the machine (which graphics chipset/card it uses; for laptops, a model of the laptop is also welcome).
5. Once verified, I'll add it to the list at https://www.digitalmzx.com/wiki/Super_MegaZeux#Compatibility
Thank you in advance and good luck!
Pulling apart a random old computer the other day that had this mini-PCIe modem card in it. Yes, a dial-up modem, for a mini PCI Express slot. I didn't realize they still made dial-up modems for long enough that they'd go into those.
