I bloody loved Harry The Handsome Executive. It was an Ambrosia Software shareware game from the 90s and was surprisingly underrated. Will probably run on Infinite Mac but it never got an OS X port or anything
I have an old iBook which it still runs great on
This reminds me of people who used Computer Modern to make it look like they had written their paper using LaTeX to get better marks. It usually worked
Macintosh Pus actually. At least I hope it’s a Plus. If they gutted a 128k or 512k that would be sad.
I go and look up the place I am searching for on Google Maps, see if it has a direct website / ordering system and always prioritise going direct if I can. Many now do, and by and large they have lower fees / lower minimum values since they don’t pay such a high premium for the platform.
Phoenix Wright?
I used Vector Linux 3.2, which was Slackware based, mostly because it was a small(ish) download on my friend’s Cable internet connection. Shortly after I moved to real Slackware. This was probably 2003/4
As I was reading this the title music from Jazz Jackrabbit 2 started playing in my head, and I completely understood what you mean. I then looked up if Jazz was actually an anomaly since Epic are from the US, but no, the main programmer was Dutch, so it fits your description.
Kinda surprising nobody thought to make a lightgun version of xkill. At least, a few minutes of searching and I can’t find anything
My hair is thick and waist length. In the summer months I have to have it tied up somehow or I overheat, much to the annoyance of people in my life who like to see it down 😅
I’ve considered trying natural lightening techniques (some people say lemon juice, others in my family with similar hair say it works) to lighten it to reduce the heat. Maybe this year I’ll give it a go.
One other thing I’ll say is that if you’re already hot, adding volume makes it worse as it traps warm air
This reads like an AI response to me.
Mac OS has never used X11 as a primary display system. Apple had a version they supplied with older Mac OS X versions for people using older Unix applications (and half-arsed ports) but that’s been unsupported since 2012. You can still install the modern “XQuartz” open source equivalent, but it’s still secondary.
It’s a shame neither compatible controller seem to support iOS gaming mode. I guess a lot of emulators are fine with keyboard emulation but it will lose any analogue possibilities
StopTheMadness on iOS allows redirects (and I’m sure other extensions do too) but it doesn’t actually take you to that page; it just directs back to the regular homepage.
Using the website (with an ad blocker) is marginally better than the app already. I hated the app in the past as I was convinced it was draining my battery unnecessarily…and it turns out that was a deliberate social experiment which filled me with rage.
Event listings is why I still use it, though. Friends, gigs, etc. I’ve tried to get friends to use Partiful instead at least but that doesn’t work well enough, and even that has issues.
If there hadn’t been a massive cyber attack recently this might not have happened. Pretty shitty for the attackers to target a cash strapped public service.
I have one of these. And signs. The only way I’ve managed to get delivery drivers to use it is to actually point at it and ask them (nicely) when I’ve been in. Works until a new person does my area…
I lot of older iPods can run RockBox
I had one of those “fancy” Vodafone routers included with my broadband which had a stupid rule set on choosing the WiFi password. It’s my network, not yours, stupid router. It can be as insecure as I want.
Anyway the rules were enforced by the JavaScript so it was easy to bypass until I got my own router to replace it with.
You know that Pro is actually free for something like 5 computers
Yes! And that’s amazingly similar to Harry (but also completely different) - Harry goes around the various offices on his swivel chair (backwards, because kicking off things is of course easier) and fires staples at malfunctioning robots
