    GreetingsFirstly I would like to announce that I am an idiot.I had a “maxed” socket 7 build up until a few years ago, made up of components I’d either bought new in the late ‘90s or with components I’d bought cheap off eBay in the early noughties. Parts included a GF2 MX, a voodoo2 and an AWE64 gol [...]

    beets: Does BASIC Studio have ownership locking? Can I only open files to edit that were saved onto my memory card? If so, how come I can copy files from my pc and work on them? No, all files should be accessible by anyone, nothing linking to a particular copy. I am not totally sure what t [...]

    honestly, with how bleak streaming is looking, going back to mp3s has been more tempting than ever... a lot of people i know are taking stuff off spotify and apple music due to their latest Evil Corporation Moves, and all the other streaming services i've tried (qobuz, tidal, etc) have completely fa [...]

    the mp3 player I own looks more like a mini cell phone, but it functions the same! I got it in either 2021 or 2020, so i'd say its modern. despite that, it's VERY glitchy. sometime in 2022 I decorated it with a ton of TMNT stickers...it might be Sony? I scraped off the logo a LONG while ago ..yeah [...]

    personally I enjoy having a camera on my phone, but it is certainly an experience to hold a physical camera in your hands! I have a teal one that I bring on my trips with my theater group(s), and it captures the thrill of hanging out with your friends much more then just taking pictures with my phon [...]

    Thought I'd share my experience with this EVGA GTX 970 I bought for "Parts / Repair" as the 9xx series make great ultra fast Windows XP cards for retro builds. Buying EVGA cards is always a risk as there are now boardview / schematic files for these cards (and the Asus/Gigabyte/ MSI PCB's look very [...]

    I've decided I want to make a dual-boot with Windows 95 and 98. I know many would ask the question 'why'?, but in truth, 95 was the very first version of Windows we had, so there's the nostalgia, but it's also to have plenty of flexibility and customisation at getting games to run properly. For som [...]

    We've done some multi-game episodes, where we take a look at a whole genre of (typically) sports-type games. We've looked at skiing games, we've looked at pinball, we've looked at cricket. But this month is our most ambitious one yet, in which we venture into the world of PC golf. No fewer than 50 g [...]

    What happens when a lowly Stellar Patrol ensign, stuck with endless busywork aboard the S.P.S. Feinstein, suddenly finds himself the lone survivor on a mysterious, crumbling outpost?

    Hey, does anyone here have strong opinions or real experience with atomic distributions, like Fedora Silverblue? I am considering it for a professional laptop, where I want to avoid components breaking so the immutability and containerization is something that sounds good. And I have come to terms [...]

    With Earthworm Jim previously and Planetfall up next, you could say we're on a bit of a space-themed streak here. But while those games have lots of other things going on, the Elite series puts the vastness of outer space absolutely front and centre. When the original Elite came out in 1984 the shee [...]

    "Rise, son of Cygna. It is the dawn of your seventeenth year. The Elders await you in the sanctuary." If you didn't listen to the 30 minute audio drama first, you'd have no idea what's going on when you first play Loom (1990, Lucasfilm Games). And if you did listen to it, you probably weren't […]

    The latest nixers newsletter linked to an article with the same title as this thread. After reading it, I'm prompted to ask: is the trend to rewrite so many utilities in Rust or Go an example of minimalism, or of bloat? I'm tempted to say the latter, because I don't care for the toolchains they [...]
