I am not a robot. I promise.
A ~2020 HP laptop, quad core 1.1GHz Pentium Silver, 128GB SSD and 4GB RAM. Oh, and of course Intel stock onboard GPU.
Hey, Covid and lockdown came along, I needed a new laptop, so I bought what I could find at the time. My main requirement was for the touchpad to actually have physical tactile buttons, fuck that whole solid slab of touch thing, I want 2 proper clicky buttons.
Running Linux Mint MATE 20.3, fuck Windows anymore.
I sent you a message and link homie, hope you enjoy a nice trip down nostalgia memory lane… 👍
Different genre? I dunno about that myself, but my favorite game of all time is the old DOS era game Descent, and Descent 2 of course. Descent 3 was alright as well, but something just seemed off about their weapon damage balance or something.
Their successor game Overload came along quite a while after their full development team split up for whatever reasons, but I’d absolutely love to play Overload on a system that isn’t a 3 frames per second potato…

I do have links to download the GOG release of the game from the Internet Archive…
I just can’t fucking play it! Like how far would I get at a measly 3 frames a second on this potato laptop? ☹️
Could be. Noticing the shaded title bar, that cosmetic feature came around somewhere between Windows 95 OSR2 or Windows 98, and stuck through ME, 2000, and even XP in classic theme mode.
These games came from the Windows 3.11 era, so when these games came out, the Program Files folder didn’t exist, and long filenames didn’t exist at the time either.
Sure the posted image shows the games apparently installed on Windows 98, but the installer was designed for Windows 3.11, so if I recall correctly, the installer put these games under C:\ENTPACK.
Well, except for the odd file GOLF.DAT for Fuji Golf, for whatever reason that file had to be in C:\WINDOWS.
The only thing I tend to use my PSP for anymore is for irShell to control the TV. Our generic universal remote doesn’t have an Info button to see the title of the show we’re watching, but the remote profile for the PSP has it 👍
tilts tin foil hat to the left…
Works now 👍
LOL, you’d like to think I’d leave it that easy…
Oh, and of course they won’t let us view the security cameras, that’s reserved for the main office in Gulfport MS, supposedly…
Like fuck, I used to work on security camera systems, it’s not exactly rocket science to rewind to whatever day and time over the past month to review the footage, locally…
Fire department declared… “No Cause Obvious”
Police are being douchebags about it and they don’t seem to give a flying fuck ☹️
This is not where the story starts, nor is it a happy day spring story…
No, wrong vehicle. 96 GMC Sonoma now.
Check my profile and recent comment/post history, I have nothing to hide.
You wouldn’t want the truck anyways, quit looking. It’s a piece of shit. It’s a free piece of shit, but at least it runs…
I knew there were more than 10 commandments!
Praise be to …
That dumb fucker really said that shit, on Easter no less huh?

The doctor says to pop 2 Fukitols a day…
On Android, I highly recommend and regularly use Léon - The URL Cleaner. It’s about as plain and simple of an app there is, just Register Léon as browser (this makes the URL Cleaner app available when you share a link), and set the Action after clean to whatever you like (I set it to Copy to clipboard, then paste the cleaned link from clipboard wherever I’m looking to actually share).
Sure it takes a few seconds longer to share a cleaned up link, but it does exactly what it’s supposed to do and strips all that tracking shit off the links you wanna share.
Interesting, I wasn’t aware of that. What sort of ball/fetch toy would you recommend then?
Not like our dog even plays fetch LOL, ours just looks at you stupid like ‘why you throw that?’ 😂
Ah, another wonderful classic 👍
If anything, I miss my old trackball… Might have to get a new one someday, I really loved that old thing.
