Thanks to all who help us out, we can't do this without you!
๐พ NEW PODCAST!๐พ Who hasn't enjoyed a nice round of golf on their computer? The slowly rendered trees, the random bird chirps, it's just like being outside!
We've done multi-game episodes before, but this one is our most ambitious yet, as no fewer than 50 games were discussed on our forums.
Some are text-only, some have all the multimedia features, but all are about golf!
Padlock company has a crashout ??!
if you want to make Firefox's scrollbars bigger
visit about:config, and you can change these options:
widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.size.override to change the width (and you can also set widget.non-native-theme.gtk.scrollbar.thumb-size to try to make it look nicer :neofox_woozy:)
set layout.css.scrollbar-width-thin.disabled to true to prevent websites from making the scrollbar thinner
widget.gtk.overlay-scrollbars.enabled to disable overlayed scrollbars, but this one can already be set in settings

I can touch computers for you in whatever way you want. I've been doing this a long while, I know how it works. There's no need to get more specific
today's digital preservation project:
some might recognize the name Advanced Gravis from its incredible line of UltraSound sound cards, or maybe its classic joysticks and gamepads.
fewer know that this was a canadian company from burnaby, bc. its logo changed a lot over the years until the company's demise. unfortunately, wiki/logopedia/etc all seem to believe that its ugliest logo was its only logo.
so today i replicated the only Advanced Gravis logo that ever mattered: the one that graced my early-90s analog joystick and gamepad.
no one has ever properly researched the typeface for Advanced Gravis' logo. after some font ID magic, it turns out to be URW Type Foundry's Antique Olive Standard Compact Italic.
the A is swapped for an inverted V, which gives the logo that perfect sense of proportion and hi-tech slickness
designed in Affinity Designer. enjoy.
