i guess we're about at full moon status tonight; maybe that accounts for why some random guy I've never interacted with before pinged me on discord and called me the C word.
it occurs to me that this might be where the word Lunatic comes from.
@ActionRetro surely 1996 will be the year of Linux on the Desktop!

Have you ever tried emulating #Windows98 on a #Ryzen system and had it crash spectacularly? Just within the last year or so, someone's written a patch for 95/98/98SE to fix it!
There's a floppy image you can boot your VM from, which will patch and fix your Win9x install even if it's partially installed and you hit the Explorer crash, so it doesn't even matter hugely where/when in the installation process you apply it. https://github.com/JHRobotics/patcher9x/releases/
Boosts for visibility welcome!

New on Patreon, it's Blood of the Werewolf.
A "love letter to classic platformers," does this game break the curse of there being no good werewolf games?
Available now for all patrons, just $1 will get you to see it early: https://www.patreon.com/posts/blood-of-hunt-91664779

Oh goody, more copy protection. Pipe Dream uses a code wheel like the Monkey Island games, but instead of dates there are pipe sections. Fun.
Right now it's convenient because the game somehow fails to initialize its random generator properly so I always get asked the same question each time. The downside is that the gameplay is 100% identical each session as well, so that's not going to fly long-term.

🇵🇱🧱 Did you know that the game Blockout, published by California Dreams, was developed by Polish developers? 🤗

q.a.d: quintessential art of destruction, dos (1996) https://www.mobygames.com/game/20298/qad-quintessential-art-of-destruction/cover/group-189904/cover-514409/
@ChartreuseK My suggestion for that is to go find shareware CD-ROMs that contain OS/2 software. I think this one largely has 2.1 software on it: https://archive.org/details/So_Much_for_Windows_and_OS2_Power_User_Software_1994
but there's a couple of "IBM Presents OS/2 Software" discs on the Archive as well.
@nackaimlat@furry.engineer While I don't pay a ton of attention to my Local tab, I've been a computerfairi.es user for my entire masto lifetime, and not noticed any major drama. Practically everybody (save for myself) is either some degree of furry or some degree of queer so I can't imagine you'll have any trouble with that.
No idea if registration is open or not though. Haven't had to check in ages.
