I like to imagine the Grays gathered around a teletype expectantly. people would throw themselves at grays for interstellar travel to other worlds if it meant not seeing their neighbors again Hell is other people. hell-o wait why do we say hello then i mean you cant say hello without hell...? hi

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, …

Maybe there's something useful there: https://winclassic.boards.net/board/3/classic-theme-general Personally I think appearance mods are too much bother, and sometimes too invasive, especially if you're going for 9x style. BTW, Classic Shell is no longer maintained, why not go with Open-Shell ? …

What version of Fallout 1 has a tardis? It's an extremely low chance random encounter, like the aliens and the Used Car Salesman that has the very OP Christmas Story BB Gun. I had the aliens encounter but never got the Tardis one despite two playthroughs. Interesting. your profile icon of netscape …

Well, this is more of a "modern retro" project, but I decided to make myself a new coaster for my desk. I've been using a dead real floppy with some feet stuck on it for quite some time, but it's seen better days. So, I 3D printed a floppy designed to be a coaster, printed and attached the Doom …

Physical copies of games will degrade over time too, so they’re not a much better alternative frankly. Even if they’re sitting on your hard drive or NAS, those could go bad and then they’re gone. I’m not against physical media here, just trying to show the realistic downsides from the perspective …

can you tell us if you found out more about that 'myotest scope' from omszov? looks interesting It's a pulse massage machine used for the treatment of chronic pain with multiple waveform modes. It outputs 220VDC on the coaxial ports so I decided not to put the electrodes directly on my heart. XD I …

Like others have said, technically speaking, you never did really own the rights to any games, movies, shows, or other media you purchased in the past. Legally speaking, the mix tapes many of us used to make were, by the letter of the law, illegal. The thing is, none of that really mattered all …

Command & Conquer 4 comes to my mind as the first example of this crap in games. I hated that game. It played crap, and it installed and ran even crappier. Back then I didn't have internet connection always available even. Since then, we've been going down non-stop as it seems. retro is in style …
