SCUBA is an acronym for Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus. What you may not know is that Tuba is also an acronym for...

Terrible Underwater Breathing Apparatus

They responded near instantly to my contact, asked questions that seemed AI-like or heavily scripted, asked me if i was familiar with a list of very specific hardware... then asked me if I could buy it myself, and they'd send a check to cover it.

I might be desperate for work now but that's no reason for me (or anybody I know) not to be Extra Careful about job prospects that seem too good to be true!

See this thread for more, as this person got hit the same way as me:

Wow, so, I just **ALMOST** got massively scammed by an Indeed listing. Employers were looking for somebody to do Remote Data Entry, the application asked surprisingly few questions, but the red flags started about when they asked me to contact someone via the Signal app for my interview.

Some images from the animated About dialog for the Mac version of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, running in an experimental version of @scummvm. It's not pixel perfect (I guess ScummVM's Mac font renderer doesn't quite emulate QuickDraw rendering, and the rounded corners are also a bit off), but it should be enough to fool the casual observer.

I think we can all agree that this has been time well spent.

one thing i miss from migrating over to tabletop playground was the trivial pursuit board so i made my own deck and put it online mod.io/g/tabletopplayground/m/

What happened to #holograms? The 3D photos in monochrome laser colours?

They were EVERYWHERE in the 80s/90s and now it seems impossible to find them except on a credit card sticker.

Searching for "hologram" online just shows sculptures or spinning things or shiny paper or projections onto a bit of cloth. None of them are actual 3D photos.

I know, many people prefer those "ready to play" releases, where the retro game is already perfectly set up and configured. I guess it's convenient, but, personally, I really love to collect my games as original floppy disks.

There's simply nothing more precious than installing a beloved game from its original disks and looking at those oldschool setup programs! It sure beats unpacking some lousy, self-made archives containing pre-cracked files!

Today is a huge day for Apple II software preservation. With the help of Antoine Vignau and @txgx42, we have managed to recover, make playable, and archive renowned game designer Dani Bunten's first game, Wheeler Dealers. Released in 1978/79 and published by Speakeasy Software, a small Canadian developer, Wheeler Dealers is a multi-player stock market simulation that only sold ~50 copies. It is the first (known) computer game to have been sold in a box. The game was considered lost until now.

Launched a new Death Generator, based on a request by Kitsune86. They wanted a Nokia 3310 generator, but the best I could do was a Nokia 3410... which was close enough for jazz.
