@mcc Happy birthday and this might come across as ironic but I promise you it's not

tbt to when i was installing an extremely out of date linux distribution for the #lols and got this amazing error

I realized I need a serial mouse to reinstall NT4 onto this machine. but that shouldn't be a problem, right? I've got a whole drawer of old mice, I just need to grab the first serial mouse out of there.

This was the first one I found.

One of my earliest DOS gaming memories, Populous (1989), is apparently now on Steam. But I can't tell if it includes the "Promised Lands" expansion disk, which added several new maps and graphics sets, including one that turns the Good vs Evil factions into Amiga vs Atari ST, respectively - a rivalry I had no idea about, as an american kid.

Since I'm once again doing design/font work,

if you didn't know, there's cooler letter-testing phrases than "the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog."

You can also use "Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vows" and feel like a total badass typing it into the font sample

I spent the last week scraping through a terabyte of GeoCities archives and collecting ALL THE #88x31 buttons! In the end, I gathered 29257 unique buttons (75k with duplicates). They are available at https://hellnet.work/8831/

Check them out!

I also have the dataset (~160MB), stats and a bit about the scraping process here: https://hellnet.work/8831/stats.html

Pinball Dreams almost saw a stunning conversion to the #Commodore64 , but it seems was abandoned many moons ago now. It is hoped that someone will pick up the project and resume it one day. Thankfully some demos do exist.
