@dosnostalgic Soul Brother hm I know I'm missing at least five things that were deeply important to me at the time. I remain proud of my one, very simple Flash game. https://data.runhello.com/f/swim6/ Happy birthday to the Internet SHAREWARE version of Quake! 🎂🎉🍾🥂

@dosnostalgic it's fun how in Doom and Quake the best episode is the one that was distributed in shareware version.
Don't get me wrong, the other are good too, but leave impact on player. Didn't even finished Doom episodes, but maybe I just like Quake more. :) This reminds me. I should probably look into how to recompile Quake 3, since for reasons unknown it's hardcoded to limit the default amount of players on a server to 8, even though there are 10 available slots in the creation screen 😠 (and I have 10 LAN machines going at LI Retro.) So the Quake 3 engine is cooler than I expected for a 1999 game. Turned out that it's not all one executable, but a bunch of DLLs that are loaded at runtime. So I just had to recompile the UI dll, and drop it in the BASEQ3 folder, and it just works. 👍 Выйду на крышу 🔊🎵 #OPL3MIDI StrataVision was the 3D modeling and rendering package used to produce graphics of the original Myst. They are so proud of this that even right now if you get the latest version of it ("Strata Design 3D SE", free on Steam,) it comes with a bunch of Myst assets in its library: Pretty amazing visuals generated by a 256 *byte* executable in MS-DOS: 😯

@dosnostalgic it feels sinful to stream a recording of that from YouTube, using orders of magnitude more space than the executable. It isn't an April Fools' joke? @dosnostalgic i just went to that insta and holy shit, i feel sorry for her back. that's not going to age well.
This ☭ xmas tree decoration was just a wire interspersed with light bulbs, plugged into a 220v outlet. When I was a kid ours broke, so I opened it up. 2 metal bits that held a bulb were bent, so I tried to bend them back, forgetting to unplug the thing. I grabbed both, 1 hand each, & completed the circuit with my body.

@Anatoly Shashkin💾 Oh, how many times as a kid I got "energized" repairing a garland - I can't count!
DOS Subsystem for Linux integrates a real Linux environment into MS-DOS systems, allowing users to make use of both DOS and Linux applications from the DOS command prompt.

@dosnostalgic Very cool, but just like WSL am driven mad by the naming, a DOS subsystem for Linux is dosbox, I have that. This is a Linux subsystem for DOS. In Quake console command "showturtle 1" will show a little turtle icon in the top left corner of the screen when frame rate drops below 10 fps.

@dosnostalgic so that's what that tortoise was for. I remember digging into the files and seeing it but I never caught that. Cool. If you saw me not noticing the legs and writing turtle before no you didn't. Ignore that indicator that this was edited in the corner. The file was actually named turtle. I remember that even without the image. :p @dosnostalgic If you want to test this, remove the cooler from your gpu and wait a bit with quake running :neocat_devil: FALLOUT ET TU, a project that brings FALLOUT 1 into the engine of FALLOUT 2 almost 1:1, but with lots of improvements @dosnostalgic Brilliant way to play the original. I played the whole thing a year or so ago and it worked flawlessly. Felt slightly cheaty being able to give Ian power armour, but let's not sweat the details Rich Whitehouse just added 32-player multiplayer support to the Jaguar version of "Alien vs Predator" with the new release of his BigPEmu emulator: Digital Eclipse just launched a 3D remake of the first Wizardry game than runs on top of the original Apple II code. 😯 (Early access) @dosnostalgic This, like the Williams' remake of Colossal Cave Adventures, just confuses me. The originals of both are widely available, and this just seems like nostalgia mining. Bard's Tale did this as well a few years ago. You can't go back to those old days. Let them be pleasant memories.

@dosnostalgic unfortunately for me, I always got LFN corruption when sharing the same partition for both Win95 and some older DOS. Ended up being more trouble than it was worth, so I opt for Partition Magic and create two separate partitions. 😊 A branchless port of DOOM that only uses MOV instruction. Takes 7 hours to render each frame. |
