Jetzt weiß ich so langsam wie sich ein Brathähnchen fühlt. Aber nichts hält mich vom WochenendeEnde Stream ab mit dem definitiven Wing Commander Abschied und verzwickten Verwicklungen mit fremden Spezies in Space Quest V. Auch heute wieder feinste Dauersterbesendung #twitch #sream #retro #dos #mt32 #wingcommander #spacequest
Finished Star Trek: 25th Anniversary (great adventure game, save for some pixel hunting and bugs). It oozes character thanks to the stellar voice performance of the original cast.
So I'm immediately moving on to the next game, Star Trek: Judgment Rites, but what's up with the voices?
The whole original cast is credited again and some voices indeed sound familiar, but who are these other people speaking?
That's not Shatner, is it? And that's definitely not Koenig's Chekov.
Secret of the Silver Blades (Thread/ )
Secret of the Silver Blades (SSB) is the third in a four-part series of Forgotten Realms Dungeons & Dragons "Gold Box" adventure role-playing video games. The game was released in 1990.
I've replayed Pool of Radiance (part 1), Curse of the Azure Bonds (part 2), and now SSB.
The Coolest Thing In The World Is CP/M For 6502
Is that hyperbolic? It probably is. But the heart wants what it wants, and what mine wants is CP/M for the MOS 6502 processor. Set Side B is a blog about computer entertainment, in all its many forms, and this qualifies in my mind, because it's not like anyone's going to be using it do real work.

"Hmm, yes"
(Star Trek: The 25th Anniversary)
For any #MTCP, #DOS and #Retrocomputing nerds out there who are also running httpserv
and want pretty graphs, poke me for a recipe for a hideosly bloated #logstash configuration to ingest the UDP logs.
I feed it to #Graylog which stores the data in #Opensearch - a pipeline that combined (and this is accurate) needs, conservatively, 4096 times as much RAM as the floppy museum itself (8MB).
And while looking at this when making this screenshot: I wonder why someone would hit http//floppy.museum with a Referer
-header indicating they come from a salesforce-dot-com address? http-colon-slashslash-136.146.46.127 (about halfway down the list).
I modified the classic Torus plot program in QuickBasic 4.5 for #DOS to be a simple benchmark program.
I'll be using this to make comparisons with various vintage PCs including my (almost completed) Laser 386SX16.
My Canon V20 can run Microsoft MSX-DOS. Yes, believe it or not there was a DOS for the MSX and it was binary compatible with CP/M-80.
A DOS-like hobby OS written in Rust and x86 assembly
A new overhaul mod has just been released for the 1990 DOS flight sim classic Wing Commander.
@jk Created “solid cubes” (right-side design) in the 1990s to reduce reliance on bitmap bump maps and textures - for example, to naturally highlight close-up shots of tiles. Used “Imagine” on an Amiga 2000 and under DOS. Ray tracing and physics were supported. A great tool for bringing ideas to life!
As I've said a couple of days ago, I do not intend to go back to the obsolete xDSL connections that my provider gives.
It is paradoxical, but the two 4G+ and 5G providers that the country has, give speeds which are up to par with what you can get in Europe most parts of Asia even in Russia.
I included the snapshot of the Simple GSM because Of The following,
It has come to my attention that my xDSL provider, which is also a 4G provider, suddenly needs about 60 to 90 seconds before they initialize is standard GSM Sim.
WTF? That takes as long to initialize their obsolete xDSL router and Gateway.
It is yesterday night at about 2200 hours that I found out why. They run and extensive script with you checks if your is installed in a mobile WI-FI Gateway / router
When the script has determined that the SIM is not in a phone, it delays the authentication sequence of the SIM indefinitely.
You see the SIM card going from no access to limited access, and it stays there for more than 600 seconds! Then they fail the process!
This is a classic case of Denial Of Service.
I'm so glad that I only took 3 days I'll jump to the other provider again afterwards
Level 3 of #OpenCrystalCaves is fully playable and the game is ready for another release. Progress has picked up so as well as building out features, I've been working on polish as well.
Now that the game allows dying, I actually died several times attempting to record this playthrough. The game can be quite tough!
@77nn fbsdboot.exe lets you boot FreeBSD from DOS. It worked with Win95, I'd imagine it works with 98 as well
The U.S. Department of State has issued a security alert for the Middle East and North Africa region due to heightened regional tensions.
