The funniest part is that he’s actually posted stuff dumber than this.

This week‘s guest was an essential force in making it possible for kids like me to play many adventure gaming classics.

I said it before, and I'll say it again: These cheap mid-90s, late 486 systems are like cockroaches - disgusting, but will survive just about anything, including a nuclear apocalypse.

This one was first used as some desktop machine in a library. When that life ended, it ran 12 years 24/7 as my first Linux server, until the HDD died. Then the next 15 years it rot in corners of various basements. Almost got thrown away several times.

And it lives. 1995 World Domination. 😅

Ich habe das Gefühl, genau bei dem zuzuhören, was gerade in Bezug auf die Klimakatastrophe auch in den liberalen Demokratien passiert.

Aaron Giles recently released v4.0 of his excellent LucasArts emulator, DREAMM.

I sat down with Aaron to explore what’s new, why v4.0 is such a major milestone, and to play a few of the newly supported games.
