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. github.com/JHRobotics/patcher9

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: patreon.com/posts/blood-of-hun

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.

Take that, modern OSes. #windows #macos #linux doesn’t matter.

Computers used to be *fun* to use. And simple actions could surprise and delight. They all seem to have forgotten how computers could be FUN.

From something as “simple” as an icon to launch a game…

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.
