I said N exactly one time, because I rather enjoy watching one guy calling his viewers guys. He's a well educated person, and his strategies on tackling economy simulation games are interesting. What I meant were videos where voiceovers are not warranted under any circumstance. Like a Thief video. …

Here's a helpful quiz: 1. I instaquit on videos with commentary ("Hay guise, today we..."): Y/N 2. Videos should be plain files instead of bloated html5/flash players: Y/N 3. Videos shouldn't be concentrated on single providers: Y/N 4. If one day every "Letsplayer" got on a train and never came back …

Had memtest running overnight and doom since this morning and no issues. Thanks for trying though. In other news, mine seems to run stable at the moment. Either due to the winter cold, or the insertion of an AdLib clone, or it will fail later regardless... http://gabucino.be/picz/forex3lin.png

Hey, I have a Forex 386 board too. It came with 20Mb RAM so it should be pretty sweet, alas, it is very unstable, and freezes continously during various tasks (running linux, freebsd, qnx, and most other stuff too). Tried every possible bus clock setting. Memtest is okay. http://data.gabucino.be/ …

Why is this even an issue? I tried DDG for a while recently, but unfortunately it uses that infuriating "load more results as you scroll down" system, with no pagination, so it's a no-go for me. https://duckduckgo.com/lite/ Using inferior and spyware web crawlers like Google was a sign of weakness …

Another option is MS Network Client, which allows you to mount shared folders on a Windows machine to a drive letter and access it like a second harddrive. It eats a lot of memory though. I run a FreeBSD NFS server, and all my DOS computers connect to it with a DOS NFS client called XFS. …

When you partition the drives with fdisk, after formatting do a FDISK/MBR otherwise many new CF cards will not boot. On Windows 2000 and above (not sure with Win95/98 as I haven't tested it), you won't be able to install the OS on a standard CF card as it will always be detected as a removable …

SQ4 CD works perfectly with any ISA SB-compatible card, just like every DOS Sierra game. I.e. not very well. :P Nah, I kid, once patched up it's pretty good. Out of pure curiosity: what kind of actual problems exist in this matter? I've been playing Sierra stuff since 1990, and can't remember a …

Little Big Adventure / Relentless is a piece of shit concerning any sound card, really (despite being a really-really good game otherwise). It also has multiple issues with many DOS4GW versions, and other DOS4GW-compatible extenders. The best result I had was with DOS4GW 2.0a and GUS ACE (ISA ESS688 …
