Now, I don't have screenshots or footage of FoxFire 13. Randy Rasa's own website doesn't seem to acknowledge that it exists, when it even has copies of his oldest DOS solitaires. And I suspect the reason why that is, is because the game does not run on common hardware anymore.

FF13's system requirements are simple; it'll run on a 286 with an EGA card and a mouse. Problem is, it handles the mouse very strictly, in a way that even DOSBox is incompatible with.

When Strict Adherence to hardware standards renders a game completely unplayable - the story of FoxFire 13.

Written sometime in the early 1990s by Randy Rasa, better known for his "Solitaire Suite" line, FF13 is a DOS solitaire game of pairing cards that add up to 13, on a 4-column tableau. Cards are dealt to the tableau in fours, one to each column, and if there are empty columns, a single card may be moved to fill the blank.

...what, do these not do fancy link cards or something? it's a cool song from a pinball game. ​

will this panel ever cease being an Absolute Mood

i find that i have to sneeze every time i have a particularly large bowel movement. i have absolutely no idea why. one of life's mysteries that is just very difficult to talk about

in case I've ever given anybody a false impression of Unflapping Confidence, I assure you that I am, in fact, a social coward.

like, oh fuck, what did I miss, how badly am I gonna need to tiptoe for the next several hours before my internal Alert Phase calms down, possibly several *more* hours before I stop reflexively flinching at any noise louder than a keystroke

For some reason, I feel a need to Be Aware of everything happening in the house. I cannot make myself drown out conversations and noises. If people are talking and I cannot hear them, I *must* quiet myself down to know what they're saying. This is either a superpower or some Pavlovian behavior.

Which is why The Dread sets in, heavily, when the only thing I can hear from 3 rooms over is the sound of packing tape, occasional banging, and Mom yelling "Fine, be that way!"

The pen-pressure handling is a little weird (pushing harder thickens the *entire line*) but, y'know, if i ever have the urge to draw a quick and dirty doodle, maybe this is the thing.

Plugged in my tablet again and remembered my instance has a doodle function built into it.
