I’m seeing a screenshot of lxqt Labwc and I’m seriously considering trying it.

The original Transport Tycoon was distributed as shareware, would have been 95 or 96 when I was playing it off a shareware disc.

Not sure if TTD got a shareware release too, but i got that one as a retail boxed version.

But for 94 or 95 if you didn’t have a shareware version then your game was pretty much doomed.

Other people have good answers already, but could also be nickel sulphide inclusion in poorly manufactured glass.

I think this question just fried my brain. I don’t even know where to start.

Most played shareware of all time though was probably Transport Tycoon.

Relax, mate. I’m not trying to take away your Windows Server. Just talking about how bad windows is from end user perspective… absolute rubbish, barely usable, nearly impossible to troubleshoot.

I’m glad you get along with it from your IT professional/server admin role.

It’s online, but it’s still a community. It’s cool to see something you wrote a few weeks ago went down nicely with people you interact with.

The same as having a conversation with the lady at our local post office can end with some laughs or something like that.

Openbox was great. I learned Linux using fluxbox, and moved over to openbox down the track because it was familiar. I stayed with it until about 2015 I think.

Labwc could be a similar wayland experience (although it’s not their mission statement), but I haven’t been able to try it yet.

On lemmy, yes, every few months I have a quick scroll in my post history.

Just to be like “haha, I remember that conversation” or something.

Also, as I scroll through I’m like “hey, people liked this” because at the time you just say something and move on. But maybe later you can see people were into it.

Friday the 13th you go around camp Crystal lake, trying to find children in cabins before Jason gets them. Occasionally you have to fight him as in the picture, or on a 2d plane if you run into him outside the cabins.

Elm Street you run around the neighbourhood going into different houses, I think the goal is trying to find pieces of Freddy so you can destroy him, but I’ve not played it as much so can’t really remember very well.

Good call. I’ve had to use Windows on work computers for the last 15 years, and I think it’s insane when people talk about it being simple or just working. I feel like I’m being gaslighted by people who maybe don’t know Linux very well so they decided Windows is good actually.

It appears to be all held together with string and ready to crumble randomly.

We keep one Windows laptop in our house so my partner can use some proprietary software she needs for work. When something goes wrong we just reimage it with the HP support tool because otherwise trying to fix it is like pulling your own teeth out.

Mega Drive 1 and 2, they both looked awesome

What kind of projector did you use?

Back in 2003, me and my friend took a break from band practice.

He said he had a porn collection so off we went through the woods behind his house. After a while we get to this one tree and there’s a shovel behind it.

We go back to his house, on the other side is a river. He starts digging in the river back until he pulls out a buried plastic bag. And he just looks horrified when he looks in.

All the magazines are rotten and broken apart by water.

I don’t know what he was expecting to happen. Or why he hid the shovel in the woods. The whole time I was so confused.

I think you may be misunderstanding how statistics works.

I wasn’t a PlayStation guy. I quit consoles when the Mega Drive went end of life and I didn’t like what Sony or Nintendo were bringing to the party. But I have played some PS1 and there are a few I always like to put into my retro systems.

Symphony of the Night

Tony Hawk 2

Disney’s Hercules

Blood Omen

Hot Pursuit

Wipeout 2097

I saw Against Me in 2004.

‘nuff said.

It’s maybe not so bad, but I spent ridiculous hours in POD, playing every track and in reverse, and with every car, and split screen multiplayer.

I’ve never been able to get it to work with dgVoodoo, so the 3dfx crispness isn’t there. And I think it’s limited to 800x600 (but I remember it being somewhat prone to crashes above 640x480, this was about 10 years ago though). I also had a lot of audio popping which I couldn’t figure out what was wrong.

It was such a great looking game to show off the Glide graphics on a 15” svga monitor, but for me it didn’t scale well on a 24 - 27” hi res screen.

It’s on my wish list.

Along with some of the other throwback racers/rally games recently, I wish some dev who idolised Rally Championship was giving them a go. They all seem to want to target Sega Rally with a bit of Colin McRae sprinkled in. Which is still good, I love rally wherever I can get it.
