The legal stuff is fascinating, I think. In my country, there's a small but important difference between possessor and owner. Long story short, the possessor is in possession of something, whereas the owner has a legal demand about something. Does this exist in English speaking countries, too? I …

I will never understand arguing for less ownership. I fear for the future, attitudes like this spill over into other avenues too. Ownership infers maintenance costs taxes storage fees. It's like paying a yearly tax to live in your house Ownership infers my responsibility to maintain what I own …

Re: Weren't sound artists frustrated to know that very few players would be hearing the true sound of their creations?

I've often wondered what kind of magic you could create with an all out balls to the wall modern MIDI synth. I mean for example could you create a device that could capture the sound quality of Eddie Van Halen's guitar , the output through different amplifiers , and the ability to simulate certain …

I bet it's spam. Joke's gonna be on them in an eon or two, when their pan-galactic quantum hypercomputer finally decodes it all, and the teletype spews out "HOT SINGLES IN YOUR AREA" I like to imagine the Grays gathered around a teletype expectantly. people would throw themselves at grays for …

The truth is that we are a message, traveling through the universe. The message is contained in our DNA and will only be readable at the time it is delivered. This is why the grays are probing peoples butts, to try and decypher the encryption en-route. So just remember if you are ever feeling down, …

Re: Amiga - better graphics because of worse monitors?

A1000 has color composite out. I did not know this. I did a little research and it seems not all 1000s have color composite, there is a lot of discussion about this. However I did find something else I didn't know which is the 600 and 1200 had color composite out. If you had an Amiga monitor though …

Commodore monitor > Commodore Amiga. They had an extensive line of color composite monitors. https://gona.mactar.hu/Commodore/monitor/Commodore_monitors_by_model_number.html The Amiga's output from the RCA port is only Black and White no matter what you plug it into.

Piracy is just an excuse for DRM so they can implement anti-consumer practices to squeeze every penny they can out of their consumer. Built in obsolesence is a plan not an accident.

My point, was that such monitor use was "Somewhat common" in HOME settings with PCs (at least in the US), in the early to mid 80s, with CGA. CGA had composite output as a stock option, specifically for use with a television. A commodore monitor was cleaner/sharper than your average consumer …

The amazon show gave me a reason to play through Fallout 1/2/NV, so I've been doing that as of recent. Luckily, there's a project called Community Edition nowadays which let me play it natively on my Apple Silicon Macbook. Screenshot 2024-04-14 at 9.49.45 PM.png What version of Fallout 1 has a …
