rival turf, character name config, snes (1992) 'debug mode which allows you to rename any character. to do this, defeat at least 5 enemies & then get a game over. at the high score screen, enter your name as CHRCONF & you'll be taken to the character name config screen.' https://tcrf.net/Rival_Turf!#Character_Name_Configuration

After several years away from the project I recently finished the last couple pieces of artwork needed to call it done: Mr. Friendly, a Doom mod where you float around, chill out, fiddle with stuff, talk to the monsters, and do nice things for them. Requires UZDoom, works with almost all existing Doom levels. 2018 Cacowards winner in the Machaward category - which is really the most prestigious award, when you think about it! lol

Once I _do_ get that caddy, I've got a drive already picked out for it that already contains a Windows XP install, but I'm pondering what I should try putting on it instead. I've never messed with a BSD before and maybe this should be the time that I give that a try.
I was able to boot up one of my recent acquisitions for the first time last night, since I've now got its power cable: a Lenovo Thinkpad T61, from 2006. 2 GHz Core 2 Duo, integrated graphics, and 4 GB of RAM. Can't put storage into it without a disk caddy, but I can at least boot some things from USB to ensure the thing still functions; namely, Haiku (a build from 2024) and Linux Mint 22.3 (it's what I had on hand). Alas, it froze during the Quake test, so I'll hold off on any further.

The Apple II stayed productive for years after the Mac tried to run it out of town. It lived, thanks to AppleWorks, which proved how useful 8-bits and 128KB could be, despite 32-bit rumors to the contrary.
I gave it a spin, really wanting to put its promise of "integration" to the test, but struggled to figure out a good project. Then I heard about a program that turned AppleWorks into HyperCard, and my path was clear. Includes copious references to 1984 and turducken.

Itβs my birthday! I have a big favor to ask ππΌ
This year has been especially financially challenging. Long story short, if everyone who downloaded @elementary OS this year paid just $1, Iβd be up some $30,000 but alas Iβm down about $11,000 and Iβm really concerned about making ends meet until the release of OS 9.
If you feel inclined to help me out, Iβd really appreciate it if youβd buy a copy of my AI-free Open Source OS or otherwise help with funding via this page: https://elementary.io/get-involved#funding

I've owned this old, beat-up Callaway Big Bertha golf club for months. Only today did I get around to doing what I actually meant to do with it when I bought it.

In this month's Golfshrine update: a shareware distribution of a retail game, a Sega Genesis cartridge rescued from the discount rack, and the Canadian that I sometimes wish that I were.

Some people have seemed confused about what my Low Quality Facts account is, so I made this graph to help you all understand it.

rare lore: back in 2018 I came across a 500-page technical deep dive guidebook on SimCity 2000. In a process that took several years because they had so much backlog of manuals, magazines, etc, I sent it to Gaming Alexandria and they made a proper professional scan of it and uploaded it to archive.org. You can read it right now!
When I say technical... I mean there's a section on how to hex edit your save files.
