A friend challenged me to run Doom on my new 386SX laptop. Well, it "runs". The biggest problem is ghosting on the screen, so it's best to play in super tiny resolution to get comfortably 5-10 frames per second.

But if that's the case, I'd rather go play some comfy games by Cyningstan :)

UI design is my pa...

I was reading this and was like ha ha, that's great, you go little nonprofit activist organization! And then later I scrolled by it again and my eyes actually focused and it clicked who had posted it https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@EUCommission/112710674773518658

Do/Have you used a CD/DVD/Bluray in a while?

What about burning a disk?

I'm surveying modern day awareness/usage of optical media, mostly to confirm some demographic theories, so if you know what a CD/DVD is, please help me (and maybe others) out by answering some ~10 questions here:

And then please boost for better visibility! Thank you!

hmm, which Apple II Atrus to use for Riven (1977). Keep in mind it looks a lot worse full screen than it does in a thumnbail. They all compress decently well with ZX02 (from 8k down to 2.5k-4k)

This just popped into one of my feeds - I think that it's a great story about a someone meeting the man.

We've probed the VGA card all around, and even suspected one of the chips to be dead... But as it turns out, our tinkering made the card working. "Have you tried disassembling and assembling it back" approach, with thorough washing from the corrosion, helped.

The complication with the debugging was caused by the fact that VGA D-SUB works only when turned on from DOS.

The LCD screen looks much better in person than on the photo. The shades of grey on it are quite remarkable. So far it is the second most readable monochrome screen I have, second only to Playdate.
